LAST Tuesday all Examine
reporter found Senator Stewart o
Nevada in the rotunda OF the
Palace. The gentleman was ia
rather good humor, having been
doubtless made so by the result OF
his auction sale of town lots III
Alameda on Saturday last.
When the reporter touched upon
the peculiar way the Administers
ton had Of recognizing the claims
OF the Pacific Coast his brow dark
ened.
..Tha Pacific Coast gets vary
little from the administration,
said the Senator, .hut | don't con
slider that the fault lies in Wash
lngton. Tn~ trouble lies entirely
with the Coast
Nov il is fact that national
convention IL really nothing more
than county convention on =
| large scale. A good many people
dislike 10 admit it, but it is never
| tseless fact The outside public
ars ied into the idea that the hIains
pu:lty and craftsmanship of the
country have all been boiled down
aud the convention is the result.
OF course the Presidential nominee
takes no hand in the affIir, hit he
always has friends on deck who
know what they are about. Now,
IN my humble opinion, the Pacific
Coast hast as yet got on to The
combination or figured out how
they ,un National Conventions IN
the East
n SECTION OF VAST RESOURCES.
"In speaking OF the Pacific Coast
| mean that 20 tron Of the United
States West of the hundredth
meridian, which is about midway
between TIE two oceans. This
section has vast resources which
are comparatively untouched,
upon the proper development OF
which the future g1owth and pros
perity oil the country largely de-
pend. Nearly all of the mines Of
the precious metals, as well as
many of the baser are found here.
Il also includes what is known as
the arid region where irrigation is
required Nearly all OF the public
lands and the Indian tribes are also !
includpd in this area. 1t goes |
without saying that local inferma-
ton Is necessary to the proper |
of the laws in "A new
and growing country like this.
But strange as it may appear, |
there is no man holding an Office
IN any executive department of the
Governments; at Washington who
resides in the Western hall of the
territory OF the United States
the interests OF the
people are tine same throughout
this vast unrepresenteo region,
there has hitherto been an utter
want of union in action in the
n ,iional conventions of either Of
the great political par ties. 1t
usually happens that each delegate
rom the West-and by til. West
we mean the western half of the
United States-decide for himself
what he will do in national con-
rention, without regard to the
interests ne represents or the
opinion Of others representing the
same section and the same interests.
La other words, the Western force
n na tional conventions has ALWAYS
Deem a scattering army, absorbed
n detail by the consolidated forces
)f other sections. In each of the
asst national conventions, both
Democratic and Republican, there
we're about sixty delegates from
,ui ignored section. Ii these dele
gates could have acted as a unit,
he same as New England, New
York, Pennsylyania or Ohio,
= neither successful or Lot IN the
the statesmen and
OF other sections would
