proposed to Join the Republicans in NOM

offer list of Democrats from which one

this proposition as coming from
the Cregier Democrats, but made such an
arrangement with the Harrison faction
and was selected by them from the list
of Democrats submitted for the nomina-

the bone of contention. The Cregier
Democrats then nominated full ticket.

WINDY" WAS KNOCKED OUT.
Charlie Thorndyke Makes short Work
of Circus Fighter.

Charles Thorndyke, who became notori-
Gus through the Cort divorce case, engaged
in fight at Sells Bros circus grounds,
near Queen Anne hill, yesterday afternoon,
with windy" great, huIking circus en-
ploye who "bosses" the wagons and mule
team drivers. Thorndyke came out victor,
but narrowly escaped rough handling at
the hands of irate stake drivers and other
circus workmen who were on the ground.
Only two blows were struck-Thorndyke
hit Windy" on the left ear, and Windy"
hit the ground
The dispute between the men arose over
two wagonloads of hay which were
ordered by an advance agent of Vail &
Hubbeil, feed dealers, on West street. The
hay was to be delivered at the grounds at
7 O'Clock in the morning. At the appointed
hour yesterday morning two heavy teams
were driven to the grounds loaded with
ba.ed hay. The morning passed away
and 2 O'Clock arrived, but the drivers had
not yet returned with the horses and
wagons. and so Thorndyke, bookkeeper
for Vail d Hubbell went out to investi-
gate the delay. He found the wagons
with the hay still unloaded awaiting orders
from Windy" who was quite officious.
Immediately, and in the dispute Windy"
applied to the former vile epithet. This
made Thorndyke mad and he advanced
threateningly. Windy" picked up an
iron tent stake and swung it viciously.
Thorndvke avoided the blow by ducking
and at the same moment shot out his right
fist like streak of lightning. There was
a dull thud when the blow took effect and
Windy" without even a groan, jumped
two feet straight up and came down in
heap, apparently lifeless.
Thorndyke helped the driver to unload
the hay, and jumping into one of the
wagons drove rapidly away, followed by
quite number of the tent pitchers and
stake drivers, who, armed with stakes and
iron pins, thirsted to avenge their "boss, !"
who still lay in dangerous stupor 1t
was over an hour from the time he fell be-
fore Windy" could open his eyes and
talk. Several men worked with him con-
tinually, and it was thought for awhile
that he would never come to at all.

pairs and Breezy" a red-headed substi-

SAW THE SEA LIONS.
n Crowd OF Curiosity and Pleasure
Seekers at Leschi Park.


Seekers at Leschi Park.
The sea lions spiasned around lazily in
their pool at Leschi park yesterday. and
had bigger and more enth usiastic audi
ence than the baseball players further
down the beach, Who persplred through
the regulation nincfhnings of the national
game. 1t is safe to say that 1000 persons
went out over the Yesler avenue cable line
who had never seen a sea lion before in
their lives, and they felt, after they had
watched the queer little beasts = couple of
hours, as though a long-delayed duty had
been performed, and they went home with
that feeling 10 buoy them up when they
found standing room only" in the cars.
Lesehi park is becoming an attractive
place At all times. Yesterday the First
Regiment band discoursed lively airs. Pro-
fessor W. II. Davidson danced highland
fling on tight rope stretched thirty feet
above the ground, and the keeper of the
seals fed his little proteges All of these
events pleased the people. The band was
good one, and the tight rope walker an
artist in his profession, while as eaters of
fish the seals were even more successful
than might have been expected.
1t was $50 O'Clock. the time for feeding
the sea-hons, when the crowd manifested
the greatest interest in proceedings Of .

public nature. Before that the baud
stand came in for share of attention, but
when the keeper crawled out on the 2x4
island in the middle of the tank and sat
on the rocks beside bucket filed with
chunks of salmon and small saltwater
fish, the crowd rushed to the waters edge.
There is wild, intoxicating sort of pleas
ure in looking at sea-lion az the supper
table that quite carries people away with
it. The animals were greedy. but their
keeper taught them lesson in self
restraint with a hickory cudgsl, and
divided the meal share and share alike be-
tween all four. People laughed and chill
dren clapped their hands and crowed in
glee at the playful contests for particu-
larly Juicy mouthful that were of frequent
occurrence.
The animals are rapidly becoming ac-
climated to their new home. They are as
sleek and healthy as they were in the
waters that they first sported In, and are
fast growing to be as docile as lambs.
There was some doubt at first whether the
effort to keep them in captivity would be
successful, but it has cleared away
Professor Davidson, the man who
walked along rope between the pavilion
and the power-house, IS an extremely we'll
balanced young man. His first act was a
novelty. He climbed his perch, mounted
it and assumed several difficult positions
while he was completely blindfolded by a
shawl thrown over his head and shoulders.
Then ne stood and addressed the crowd
with all the ease and grace of an old-time
camp meeting orator on platform forty
feet square. A number of skiIlful maneu-
yers, which kept him on the rope nearly
an hour. were included in the perform
ance.
The popularity of Leschi park has in
creased all through the season. until it has
gotten to be the resort of the Sunday
pleasure-seekers of Seattle. Yesterdays
attendance was up in the thousands, and
there were no disappointed ones among
the crowd that went home late in the
afternoon

THE COUNTY WILL NOT PAY.

Government.

Soldiers Will Have to Look to the State
Government.
The decision of Attorney General Jones
in reference to the recent mining strike in
King county, wherein he decided that the
state is not liable for the expense incurred
by the militia in preserving order at the
mines, created considerable comment yes
terday, and the decision as published was
widely read. Fred Gasch, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, firmly be-
lieves that the attorney general is in error,
and he says the county will contest the
decision. 81 will not sign any cost bill
for expenses of the militia unless | am
served with a writ of mandamus from the
court" said Mr.. Gasch. Though have
no particular technical knowledge of law
my common sense tells me that the bills of
the militia must be paid by the state. I'm
der the state law U cannot now call to
mind the section) | understand that the
sheriff has right to call out the militia
when he deems their services necessary
for the preservation of life and property.
In this case | am told that the governor
not only gave his consent, but directed
that the militia be ordered to the mines.
The militia is not a county, but a state or
ganization. Some time ago the South
wanted states rights, but this was refused
ON the grounds that it would lead to Sc
cession. Applying the same theory to the
present case: If the county must stand
good for the militia bills, would it not be
bringing it down to county rights? Let
each county do as it pleased and we would
soon have secession. believe the decis-
ion of Attorney-General Jones to be abb
surd, and don't believe it will stick in

"Eiiy O'Connor'' Tonight at Cordray's.
Tonight the famous Irish drama ELY
O'Connor," will be represented for the first
time at Cordray's. There is a wholesome,
refreshing airiness about this drama which
never fails to charm. There are true
glimpses of lite unadorned by the artih-
ciality of custom. rare flashes of wit from
Natures fountain, and genial beams of
humor which create the sunshine OF laugh
ter where'er they fall. Here we see gener-
Gus impulses springing from loyal hearts,
and vindictive hate for the moment swav-
ing the soul towards the qualification of
terrible revenge. And here We view love
growing beautiful and fair amidst the
shadows of the tomb, OUTLYING the thrusts
of malice and treachery, and blessing the
lives whose destinies il joins together.
The drama will be handsomely staged. and
cannot fail TO prove strong attraction
throughout the week

The Commercial CLUB at Louisville Is
setting on foot the arrangements for the
Kentucky display at the Worlds Fair,
Chicago, in 1898. 1t should be seen to
that the mineral and agricultural resour-
ces OF Meade county occupy prominent
position in this display. The wealth OF
the entire world will be represented at

lists will be there viewing the displays,
seeking places to invest their money. If

The "coon" kleptomaniac, dang his
name don't know it, and can't find any
body here tlat does. What does it mat
ter anyhow, whether you know
"coon's" name or not - struck the
Jail here last Thursday. He was brought
in from the country for having stole
three overcoats. This colored gentleman
enjoys the enviable reputation of hav-
ing spent a considerable portion of his
life in prison, though he was never con-
victed for any crime. 1t simply comes
natural for him to steal any and every
thing he can get his hands on, that is
not fastened at both ends, consequently
he is adjudged kleptomaniac. He has
been repeatedly tried over at Hardins-
burg both for lunacy and for larceny, but
whenever he was tried for lunacy there
was always somebody on the jury that
thought he was sane, and when he was
tried for stealing there was sure to be
some one who thought he was crazy, so
he has always been too crazy for the
penitentiary, too sane for the lunatic
asylum, too lazy to work, too mean to
live, too stubborn to die, and has almost
been raised in the Hardinsburg Jail. We
predict for him that by the time Meade
jury gets through with him he will Ego

Frankfort. The people of Meade county
are not 'stuck" on paying taxes to board
"coons."
