Wilson and the whole repu blican ticket
nominated at Wala Walla, took place
on the arrival of the homcward bound
Puget Sound delegates at this place
about midnight last evening. There
were fifteen coaches crowded with del.
egates and as the west.bound train pulled
up at the depot it appeared that tho
whole city had turned out with torches
end band of music. Cheers rent the
sir, and after things had qUiieted down
Colonel L. $. Hewlett and Mayor Fred
r. Reed made few happy remarks and
extended an invitation forevery delegate
on the train to stop a day Nt the future
capital Of the new state, promising them
the freedom of the city. Colonel j. c.
Haines replied.
A number of the delegates and nearly
tll ofthe newspaper men ON the train re-
manned here and will go to Ellcnsburg
tomorrow to report the proceedings of
the democratic convention. which meets
there on Monduy. Along the depot
platform were piled up several hundred
water melons, baskets of lucious grapes,
peaches, plums und other fruits which
nad been brought in by the farmers dur
ing the day Ono batch of 200 wator
melons averaged thirty five pounds each.
Everybody on the train was supplied
with water melon or u piece and the
nnther irnits We're freely given away.
When the train started west ward to the
Sound the music again started up and
the crowd cheerod TO the echo, which

a splendid banquet was hastily pre-
pared mt the fine new Hotel Yakima, at
o'clock this morning, by the citizens
Of Yakimo, at which the representatives
Of the Tacoma Ledger, Seattle Post-m-
:elligencer, Tacoma Journal, Northwest
Magazine, Yakima Herald and Oregon
Ian, and number of Leading business
men of Yakima and Tacoma sat down.
II was an enjoyable affair lasting until
so'clock this morning, and rejecting
credit upon the proprietor, G.. T.. Smith.
Everybody was good natured on the
homeward trip, notwithsta nding long
waits at Hunts Junction and Pasco.
AT the latter place the east. bound train
from the Sound was in wait ing. Judge
W. III. Calkins was on board, and eN-
tended congratulations TO the candi-
dates.

@as congratulated all around. The
other candidates, all of whom were on
the train as far as Pasco, where the east
and west-bound delegates separated,
were assured that victory was in the
air. The work OF the convention does
not appear to have left any serious heart
burnings.
Kinnear is satisfied that he was fairly
beaten, and Dunbar, who was rewarded
so spontaneously with the supreme
bench nomination, says lie il now of the
opinion that the convention knew what
he wanted better than he d id himself
There was some little friction after the
convention was over about the appoint
ment of members at large and members
of the executive committee of the state
central committee, but matters were
smoothed over and there Is no doubt the
convention will work tremendously. 1t
is understood that the national
republican committee promises
$4,000, which with the as
sessments of candidates and subscrip-
tiOns in the new state, will foot up to ut
least 500, 600 for legitimate ca mpaign ex-
penses. A curious statement about the
use of the money WAS made on the cars
by one Whitman delegate W ho was dis
.ussing with Governor Ferry the work OF
she convention. He informed the gov
,rnor that he was approaches during the
1ay of the ballotng and was offered

warmly endorsed Tor that position by
Hon. John b. Allen, Colonel J. G. Haincs
and others. He was one OF the King
comfy delegation, which wls not only
the strongest in the convention, but the
best disciplined and composed OF the
tinest.looking body of men. The SpO-
kane delegation was also u strong one.
The delegation from Franklin county,
which consisted of Captain w. j. Gray,
the Pasco capital boomer, only, was al.
ways unanimous. He generously gave
bis vote to one OF his opponents when
running for the lioutonant-goyern
nomination.
Tho luscious fruits and products of
Walla Nalla win never be forgotten by
those whu saw and tasted them. The
homeward-bound delegates brought
away baskets fun of many varieties of
fruit which were an exhibition of the re-
sources of that section, L here were
