To the right of Mr. Bennett sat Lieuten-
ant-Governor Laughton and Patrick Henry
Winston, to the left Colonel Haines and
General L. III. Cavanaugh. There were
present about seventy-tve delegates and a
couple of score of guests. Through
out the festive event, which
lasted from o r. III. TO 2 a. m, the
King county delegation in attendance
were in the van in enthusiasm and APP
plause. Governor Laughton's remarks
were received with much acclaim, espec-
tally when he regretted his inability by
infusion of blood" to make well his hon
ored superior, Governor Ferry. The growth
and prosperity of commonwealth of WASH
ington he portrayed in pleasing allegory
of words.
Reviewing the recent Republican land
slide, Judge Calkins, in his talk on 'Intel-
hgence, the Cornerstone OF. Government"
received but faint applause on advising
Republican statesmen to eat whales as an
application of the theory that fish is the
best brain nourishment. His illusions to
civil war generals were cheered to the echo
by the Grand Army contingent.
Colonel Winston predicted glorious
future for the Republican party, prepared
his hearers for some poetry, and then
abused their expectation and provoked
rounds of applause by declaring that every
cloud has ''silver lining" and that Pierce
county and the national Republicans would
proht by miniature Waterloo.
