WHO WILL GET THERE?

Already much interest is being taken
in the state election of next year, and
candidates on both tickets are being dis
cussed by the press throughout the state.
The democratic papers east of the Casca-
DIES are unanimous in the opinion that
the gubernatorial nomination should be
given to an eastcrner. among those
mostly spoken of are G. II. Warner, of
Whitman county, who stands especially
strong with the farmers, Judge B. L..
Sharpsteip OF Walla Walla, whose poll
teal and personal record has been such
as to strengthen his purity wherever he is
known, and DR.. Blalock, also Of Walla
Waila. Il sterling democrat
should the republicans nominate a
man from this side of the mountains, the
democrats would feel inclined to make
the fight with a westerner, also. Among
those who have lately been spoken OF by
the press as likely men are Judge Allyn
and Henry Drum, OF this county, and
Honest John" McReavy, of Mason.
If the republicans should nominate
Judge Calkins as governor, to harmouize
things within their party, as their is
some tax OF them doing,-it is not unlike
ly that a Pierce county democrat might
be named as his opponent. This would
make Pierce county the center of the live
Hest political battle yet seen in this state.
Should lightning strike some other re-
publican, he might be Congressman Wil-
son, who is said TO be anxious for the
nomination, or Senator Forrest OF King
county, or DR.. Calhoun OF Skagt, or Tx
Governor Moore of Walla Walla, and
Lieutcnant-Governor Laughton il. by no
means dead yet.
Two congressman at large will be electe
ed at the next election; both will be at
large, because the republicans in the last
legislature found they could not gerry
mander the state so as to make possible
the election of two republicans. One of
the nominations will probably go to the
farmers OF the east side and the other will
come to the Sound NJ. M. Goldman OF
Columbia, who led the democrats in the
last house, seems to have the call on one
Of the places, while Thosmas Carroll is
warm favorite for the other place. Hen
ny Drum, Percy Rochester, J. Hamilton
Lewis, II. G. Wallace and A. H. Ander-
son have also been mentioned by the
democratic press for this nomination.
If the next legislature should be demo-
cratic, as there is much reason to expect,
a democrat will be elected to succeed
senator Allen. J. ]. Browne, Of Spo-
kane, and Chauncey w. Griggs, OF this
city, are the only two whose names have
been prominently mentioned for this
honor.
The place would by no means 60 to
Senator Allen by default should the re.
publicans capture the legislature, for he
has bitter enemies on both sides of the
mountains, end even in King county the
movement to break the Squire Allen Nc
Graw ring is assuming large proportions.
There has been little or no discussion
through the press of the state as to who
will fill the minor places on both tickets.
and these will probably be geographical
ly placed.
1t must not be inferred that the gentle
men named above are all candidates for
the Offices with which their names are
Connected. Some CT them are known not
to desire the places.-Tacoma News.
