tion Of considerable Importance or dignity
a this STATE. Il isa fac; that he Was can.

and impersinent to the last degree. The
presumption that the state Of Washington
has not among it, old and established resi-
dents men Of sufIicient csliber and experi.
ence 70 perform it, higher political
duties. u an ofysnse which citizens Of
self-respect and stase pride have right 70
resent. and which thew do resent most
earnestly. Judge Calkins was. and Is, vel
come here. and II he would be content 70
pursue course in line with the considers
tons Of modesty. not 70 say Of decency,
would no doubt in time take high rank in
his profea.ion and possiblv in our political
affair: but his effort TO force himself upon
thu people and upon the party has put
him in contempt in the estimation Of
large proportion Of our people. There Is .
settled and profound feeling that Wash.

In the old territorial DAYS Washington had
ouitss too much Of the imported quality In

It's hardly necessary to refsr Ii detail

nam for upwards Of fifteen years. and his

governor Of this com mon seaith before il
