A NUMBER of republican state
conventions were held on the 18th,
and as nearly as can be ascerteined,
favored presidential nominations
as follows New Mexico, Allison
Alabama, Sherman; Missouri, d.
vided-Blaine and Gresham Min
nesota, divided-Blaine and Ores
ham; Colorado, (uninstructed
Blaine. The result of state con-
ventions already held, indicate that
the race will be repetition of that
of 1884, with Blaine's strength
greatly increased in the west, owing
to the unalterable position of Cleve-
land on the silver question. Blaine
has never said that he would refuse
the nomination if his party felt
disposed to do him the honor, and
his famous letter declaring that he
would not be a candidate, cannot
be construed to contradict that fact.
It is now looked upon as a political
trick to bring his name into prom
inence, and from the amount of
speculation on the part of the press
of the country as to its intent, we
should judge it has been eminently
successful.

The correspondence in another
column relative to the matter Of aid
in building the Salmon river bridge
explains itself. 1t is to be regretted
that the Union Pacific people do
not consider it proper to aid in the
enterprise. Their reason for such
stand is plainly set forth in the
correspondence referred to, and is
purely aquestion of legality as af-
fected by restrictions of the govern
ment and the company's bylaws.
They are as apt to see the benefits
of such a proposition as anyone,
and have at all times expressed
themselves in sympathy with all
such enterprise. In this instance,
however, the people must go down
into their pocket again.

COUNTY EXHIBITS.
Notices That Have Been Written About
Displays at the Fair.


A Chico paper says: "B. F. Allen, who
is one of Butte county's Commissioners at
the Mechanics Fair, had set-to with the
reporters of the San Francisco papers about
writing up the Butte county exhibit. The
Bulletin is an honorable exception, for il
gave splendid notice without demanding
pay. Not so with the others. The Chr0a.
icIe representative made himself known 10
Mr.. Allen, praised the exhibit, and said he
would like to write it up for coin He
was informed that there was no coin Tor
that purpose, and if the exhibit was not
worthy of favorable mention to give it a
black eye-that he would prefer to have a
black-eye notice than a paid puff. The
Chronicle man skulked of, and pretty soon
a reporter of the Examiner appeared with a
like praise and similar request" The pa
per further says that Mr.. Allen was also
waited on by representative of the Call
and concludes with: The county ex-
pended about 81 200 to assist the Mechan-
les Fair in San Francisco, and to advertise
its resources, and it is the duty Of the pa
pers there to notice the several displays ac-
cording to their merits"
The Call has published notices of the
several county exhibits in the Mechanics
Pavilion, according to the merit OF the dis.
play, in accordance with its desire to pre-
sent in truthful manner the resources oi
the State. These notices were prepared by
members of the Gail staff and were pub.
lished without any charge having been
made, not as an advertisement but as a
matter of news. If any enc approached
Mr.. Allen on behalf of the Gail and offered
to write up the exhibit of Butte county for
pay it was done without the knowledge OF
consent of the conductors of this journal
and contrary 10 instructions.-S, f. Call.

IL another column is communication
upon the water question that is of such
importance as to lift it out Of the usual
groove of locals and command for it special
consideration. The citizen who contrib
utes it AYERS his ability to demonstrate
that The need of the city for new pumping
works may be eliminated upon principles
of hydrostatics that are well known-by
enlarging the chief water main, thus
greatly increasing the capacity to supply
subsidiary mains and their lesser pipes.
The subject is one that should be very
carefully looked into. Statistics show
that, according to our measurement, we
are using almost twice as much water per
capita in this city as any other city of
the Union. This is by far too great an
excess, and it is possible that the measure
ment at the Water-works may be in error,
or the basis for it incorrect. At least the
fact is not difficult to ascertain.
