I. ]. Grant moved that the delegates
to the state convention be instructed to
use their best efforts to secure the selection
of Hon. John H. McGraw as one of the
delegates to the national convention.
He had barely mentioned Mr.. McGraw's
name when the convention broke into a
storm of applause. Delegates from the
country precincts jumped up all over the
hall to second Mr.. Grants motion. When
every precinct had spoken. followed by all
the city wards, amid continued roars and
clapping of hands, G. B. Walker dryly re-
marked, 1--WE had better make this unani-
nous" and the motion was put and car
ried with enthusiastic reclamation, the
delegates cheering, waving their hats and
shouting for "McGraw, McGraw" That
gentleman assembled the platform, but his
first words were lost IN another burst of
cheers.
"To say that am profoundly grateful" said
Mr.. McGraw, ''at thiA special time for your ex-
preston OF continued esteem and confidence

efforts on my behalf should be successful l
promise you shall have no personal ends to

gard, but shall labor for the best interests
OF the Republican party as, When the time of
duty comes, conceive them to be-"
Mr.. McGraw retired amid salute of
three cheers and a tiger
Fred ]. Ware asked consideration of a
resolution which recited that, whereas,
the failure of the United States govern
ment to strictly enforce the eight-hour
law passed by Republican congress and
signed by Republican president June %,
1865, had been detrimental 10 the enjoy
ment OF its benefits, resolved by the Re-
publicans of King county. in convention
assembled, that the enactment of the law
at SO early period in the existence of the
Republican party is undeniable evidence
OF the sincerity of that congress; resolved,
also, that the enforcement of the law
should be speedily comprised, and re-
solved that the delegates TO the state con-
vention be requested to use their efforts to
have plank to that effect put in the
platform of the party at the national con-
vention.
Mr.. Ware made an earnest address in
support OF the resolution, and after NJ J.
Mooney had also warmly approved it the
convention adopted it, NJ. NJ. Holmes de-
claring that it embodied no new principle
OF the Republican party.
James Hart, of Duwamish, congratula-
ted the convention upon its harmony, and
had barely spoken dozen words before he
had electrified the audience by his fervor.
Every point he made was received with
responsive shouts, and when he concluded
the convention gave him several rounds of
applause. As he sat down, G. F. Bailey,
OF Franklin, a colored delegate sprang to
his feet and declared that his race owed
everything to the Republican party. His
speech abounded in touching points, and
he assured the convention that Republican
principles meant so much to him and his
race, that SO long as he lived he should
always stand by it-as every colored man
should-apart altogether from the local
issues which sometimes divided it. He
also won great applause by his earnest
ness.
The chair declared the purposes of the
convention accomplished, and after an
interruption to admit of resolutions of
thanks 10 himself and the secretaries, he
declared the convention adjourned sine
die. With three cheers more for John H.
McGraw, the delegates then adjourned
