Yesterday tho people OF Mississippi
elected delegates to the state constitu-
tional CONVENTION. which meets in Jack

peaceable sud uneventful; indeed. 1t

no opposition, save In one or two locali-
ties, to the democratic nominees. The
negroes stepped aside as far as candi-
dates were concerned, and left IL to the
white people to frame now organic law
for Mississippi.

A meeting Of the Democratic
County Club was held in the Spo-
kane mining exchange last even
ing. Owing to the fact that the
democratic central committee will
meet ON Saturday night the club ad-
journed until that time, when they
will meet with them.
The democrats of Washington are
entitled to credit for grit If not for
good Judgment. They are evident
ly preparing for u stubborn resist
ance OF the tidal wave that will sure
ly engulf their frail political barken-
tine this coming fall. AS a begin
ming n call has been issued for

state association of democrats
clubs. The convention will be held
In Tacoma Tuesday and Wednesday,
August 26 and "a. Spokane county
is entitled to 26 delegates, Douglas

ton of delegates will be held We'd

The general democratic state con-
veption, to nominate a candidate
for member of congress, will be held
ut Seattle, August 2S. The
representation of Eastern Washing
ton counties will be the same as that
given above. This basis is arrived
at as follows: Three delegates ut
large for each county, one delegate
for each 100 votes. and one delegate |
for each fraction thereof In excess of |
fifty cast for Il. &. Griflitts, demo-
cratic candidate for congress at the |
general election held October l, 1889.
Primaries for the selection OF dele
gates to the county conventions |
Will be held Wednesday, August 90,
and the county conventions will |
occur Saturday, August %, for the
election of delegates to the state con-
vention.
Tom Warren makes no secret of
the fact that he is going to run for
the Office of sheriff of this county
at the next election. Neither does
Il. Nick. Pugh, the present incum-
bent.
Mr.. Warren thinks that his ad.
as postmaster has been
such that it will 6help him to
step into Pugh's shoes. He does
not calculate that he will have any
opposition to speak of.
On the other hand Pugh Is very
quiet. He announced his inten-
tion of running for sheriff about
two months ago after quietly con-
sulting his friends, who are the
leading republicans of the state.
Said one of their number yester-
day: 81 am glad the commissioners
appointed Pugh to succeed MIR.
Hlnchliff. Having charge of the
office will better fit him to assume
the responsibilities after defeating
Tom Warren. The ex-postmaster
won't be in 1t at the next election"

OFFICIAL PAPER or THE CITY,
rHr ,rArE coNvENrIox.

The Republican State Central Com
rnittee meets next Tuesday TO deter
mine the time and place of holding
the Republican State convention. 1t
ought not 10 take the committee long
10 settle the question. There are but
two cites IN the State that have ade-
quate accommodations for holding the
numbers vino attend that gathering.
Those cities are Detroit and Grand Rap
IDS. Detroit had the last Republican
state convention, and now it IS Grand
Rapids turn. Send the convention
here and We VIII entertain the repr--
sentative Republicans of the state, IL
such a way as 10 demonstrate TO them
that Western Michigan has lost none OF
its old-time Republican enthusiasm.
All parts OF the State viii be better
accommodated here than at Detroit.
Grand Rapids IS nearer the center of
the Lower Peninsula, north and south,
than Detroit ia, and not quite so far to
one side. Our connections with the
north aud south, along the line of the
G.. K. & l., are perfect Our eastern
connections are excellent and direct,
and. in fact, Grand Rapids Is the virtual
center of the population OF the State.
Hartman's Hall IN tins city IS by far
The most appropriate and convenient
place in the State for the convention.
The main hall IS ample, while there are
numerous smaller rooms on the floors
9elow, suitable for district caucuses.
We should have the convention this
imc, as we now have the best place tor
1olding II, and It is not at all certain
hat We shall have next time, as Mr..
Hartman has serious intentions of go
ing down to Detroit to show that city
how 70 build a big hail.
There is also % strong desire on the
part OF the citizens Of Michigan to visit
this big city that has more than doubled
It's population IN ten years and has
solved the rapid transit problem, by
means OF the finest street railway sys-
tenn in the state.
Again we say: Send the convention
here, gentlemen of the committee, and
YOU will hnd no kickers among the
delegates. In fact, you will do them a
favor.
