T. J. Rose. of Walla Walla, q delegate to the

taken in hand by statesmen Gallagher and Con-

Gus manner. Mr.. Considine also tried to pour
Lewis music into the ear of Mr.. Rose, but the
latter was obdurste, and this is what he said to
a reporter of the Posr-IsTELLlGENCKR: "Our
thirteen votes will go for Blalock, and We have
many other counties pledged to our man. What

we don't know him in our part of the state We
don't propose to pass any resolution in favor OF
the Lake Washington canal especially, and II
we can get the King county men squabbling
over this thing We will slip our man in" 1t Is
needless TO say that neither Statesman Consi.
