Something About the Wires and the
Wire Puliers.

1t has now been conceded on all sides
that Ex-Governor Ferry will be the re
publican candidate for governor, aud in
terest accordingly centeTs in his proba-
BILE opponents. Only two names thus
far have been prominently mentioned.
They are S. A. Wheelwright OF Taco ma
and @. Il. Warner of Colfax. Mr..
Wheel Wright is BOW mayor of Tacoma
and fills the position admirably. Mr..
Warner is the present chairman OF tue
democratic territorial central committee.
Either would be strong in their party.
For congress the republicans have
three candidates, john l.. Wilson of
Spokane Falls, r. o. Dunbar Of Gold
endale and Allen Weir of Port Towns
end There is a diversity OF opinion as
to which of these gentlemen would be
strongest candidate; beyond doubt Ell
ther would poll the full strength of the
republican party. A number Of repub
licans, for the sake OF harmony, are in
favor of offering the congressional nom-
inetion to Hon John Z. Allen. 1t is
firmly believed that Mr.. Alien would not
accept the nomination as he did not
think it would just to the other can
didates, after he had made II known
| that he was candidate for the U. s.
Senate. Some republicans are Of the
! opinion that Hon. Thos. 81. Brents
should be induced to withdraw from the
senatorial contest and consent to be a
candidate for congress-. His frieuds feel
that he Is entitled to the higher honor
| and under no couside ration will they
sanction his candidacy for congress.
! Opposed 10 ii ese the democrats are
| considering the eloquent Jeems HamIl
| ton Lewis of Seattle, the versatile Char
lie Goldman OF Columbia, and energetic
J. z. Judsou Of Tao ma. To which one
of these the conventions choice will in-
cline it is Impossible to say. All are ex-
celleDt suggestions
| 1t is Tumored that Mr.. Allen has
pledged bis support to g. IL. HanioTd
for United States district judge, while
the machine has promised the place to
Lawyer Struve, partrer If Col. Haires.
Hanford wants the place quite badly
and has pretty strong backing. Sena-
tors Dolph and Mitchell it IS slid are
for him and also Hoar of Massachusetts
and Ednunds of Vermont. These lat
ter two are cousins OF Roger s. Green
and he is very anxious tn see siEnf"rd
succeed
Should there be complications BET weeu
Eauford and Struve, Green may accept
the place himself.
Should Struve be successful Maurice
McMicken expects to be clerk under hin

A Good Word for seaman's Bethel.

The following letter speaks for itself
without any comment from us: To the
Editor of the Argus; Sir: 1 have been in
your city for the last week and during
that time, not having much mouey and
finding that without money there are
not many people who will help poor
man from the misery he finds in a
strange place. I am proud to say that
you have one good enterprise that you
ought to be proud of and that is the
Seaman's Bethel. For the kindness
they showed me l cannot express my
feelings, for they gave me food and
shelter and where the means of my be-
coming a christian. l cannot refrain
from thanking Mr.. Harvey for his many
favors. Signed: F. Phillips.

why Clocks Point to Sly.

"Can you tell me why all the dummy
clock signs in all cities point to the hour
OF SHIT" said an ARGUS reporter to Mr.
Jago, of the firm of Jago & Niblock, lead
ing jewellers of our city.
"Ne, sir, had not noticed that they
did," was the reply.
Probably very few of the jewelers. in
this city can give the reason for this.
There is method in it, and it is histor-
ical.
On the 18th day of April, 1865, the
whole civilized world was startled by one
of the most important events in history,
the assassination Of Abraham Lincoln by
J. Wilkes Booth.
The old settlers of Port Townsend re-
cali with great vividness the great sor-
row which settled down upon the city and
her people on that day. Business was
hushed, and mourners went about the
street in spirit and in fact. The great
clock in the white house was stopped at
8:17, the moment when the martyred
presidents life went out on that morn.
ing, by one of the officials who was al
the bedside, and it was not started again
until after the funeral and removal o.
all evidences of mourning. The silence
of the clock and the fixed hands on the
dial attracted the attention of visitor:
and made lasting impression. TIE
jewellers at once adopted the time as {
memorial by common consent for the
dial of their signs, since when the Gus
tom has been followed, and painters
have simply followed copy" They
saw all jewellers had it that way.

Fortunate Discovery of an Accident tC
U. q. Steamer Manzsnita.

The transparency of the water about
lhs wharves al Port Townsend which en-
sbles objects to be distinctly seen at q
depth OF several fathoms, has often been
commented on and recently has proved
Of practical value. The q. 3. steamer
AsnzaniIa which is moorsd at Quincy
slrees wharf having her boilers repaired
has composition propeller which is
fastened on the shaft by nu! with bolt
through it. A couple of days since as
Chief Engineer Lord was standing on
she wharf looking at the propeller which
was distinctly visible clear down TO the
vessels keel, he noticed that the nut had
worked of and the bolt Just ready to
drop out. which held the propeller on .
The steamer was hauled furthur up the
dock and when she grounded it was
found that an attempt to back tho en-
Rine would have unshippsd the propeller.
A new nut has been cast at the foundry
which will be secured in different man
nsr which will prevent the possibility OF
the reocourrence Of 80 Serious an acci-
dent. Chief Engineer Lord says that if
1t had not been for the transparency Of
the water which enabled him to see the
propeller the vessel wonld have gone to
Sea when her boilers were finished and
she might have met with serious trouble
going over the Columbia bar. This in
eident shows that steamers propeller
should be frequently examined and not
wait as it is the universal practice until
the propeller breaks or is lost before
anding out that it needs repairs or fast
sning.

The Frize Fight.

The prize fight between Cleary and
Brennan, which was advertised to take
place yesterday, was indefinitely post
poned, owing to lack OF interest by par
ties in the city. When the spectators
and principals met at Union wharf, the
entire party numbered % people, several
of whom had their hats "chalked." 3"
Cleary and Brennan declined to fight for
the small amount. The question was
asked how many of those present would
be willing to pay So to witness the Cas-
sie-BloomGeld fight, and one man en-
thused sufficiently to offer that amount.
The managers finding it impossible to
raise sufficient funds to pay fer the boat
and make it interesting for the contest
ants, resolved TO go to Tukeys landing,
charge $3.50 for ticket, and send for
the Port Discovery sports and have a
quiet 60.
The crowd adjourned 10 a neighboring
resort, and Tom Cleary and a young
man whose name we suppress, went to
Discovery and got a crowd interested in
the contest, and the party met the fight
ers and few Port Townsend men at 10
o'clock at the landing.
A ring was pitched in an old barn, and
the men got to work in a few minutes
The fight was not one wherein science
was the first consideration, it, however
afforded considerable amusement to the
Spectators during thirty three minutes
that it lasted. In the ninth round the
referee awarded the fight to Cassie on a
ioul. 1t is understood that there will be
another contest between these two men
in few days.
