THE UNROPED ARENA.

The friends of Hon. NJ NJ Goldman, OF Column
bia county. still urging him as a proper man
for the Democrats to nominate for congress.
Mr.. Goldman himself is not altogether willing,
however, a. he would much prefer the guber-
Material nomination.
Acknowledgement Jones has withdrawn from
the contest for the congressional nomina-
ton, and the fight for the control of the Spo-
kane delegation is now a straight one between
Hyde and Wilson. The friends of both candf-
dates express the utmost confidence in the sue
cess OF their favorites.
A. meeting of the Republican county Gen.
trail committee held last evening resolutions
were adopted calling the primary elections I'M
der the Australian system in all the wards of
the city and in Ballard, Gilman, Kent and
Slaughter. Should the Republicans OF any
other precincts desire their primaries to be held
under the new law they requested to notify
the secretary of the committee of such desire.
The Port Angeles Tribune Times has this to
say of the political situation: "uon. John r.
Kinnear, of Seattle, is being prominently
spoken of as a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. We have also heard
the name of Hon. Andrew F. Bur.e gh, of
Seattle, mentioned for the same office. Either
OF the above-named gentlemen would make an
excellent head for the Republican state ticket
Major L. s. Willard is announced as a caedi-
date for county assessor subject to the decision
of the Republican convention. Major Will

The crop OF Democratic candidates for county
Offices is nourishing finely, uninjured by any
1
perior court, the Democrat now on the bench, I

nation. For the other two places J. B. How

take the nomination, but he replied that he hat
promised to give his time and energy to the OF
