before in its history, and would prove
to be unanimous and harmonious.

was chosen Temporary Chairman, and
on motion of p. B. Johnson, of Walla
Walla, Ivan Chase, of Whitman, was
chosen Temporary Secretary.

Blalock, Mayor of Walla Walla, in a
brief speech welcomed the guests to
the city, and trusted that they would
be thoroughly at home.
Haines arose and read an item from
the Walla Walla Union, alleging that
he had said yesterday on the train,
coming down here, that if Kinnear
was not nominated and Ferry was,
King county would go 1900. He de-
MES the statement emphatically, and
declares his delegation would support
the ticket, no matter who was nOmi-
mated.
This called for terrific cheering, and
at the request of a delegate, the King
county delegation then arose to their
feet as an endorsement. The band
played Marching Through Georgia."
and there was wild cheering.
The Convention then took a recess
till 2PM.
Wilson, it is now thought, will have
$50 votes on the first ballot, which will
nominate him.
Ferry stock is not as high as it was
yesterday, and Kinnear's is better
than it was "a hours ago.
Hewlett has gained whatever Ferry
has lost, and if the latter is not nomi-
mated on the first and second ballot,
Hewlett will probably get there.
