Before the primaries of week ago the friends
man opposed to him for governor should be al
lowed In the convention. This plan was not
perfectly executed, for l. D. Ross and
l. B. Hart, of the kid COM
mittee, as well as one or two other
anti-Lewis men managed to get In. But the
effort to make the convention extremely select
in the point of adherence to Mr.. Lewis was I'M
doubleday q success. 1t was unfortunate,
however, for him that he could find SO
few OF the leading men of the party willing to
wear his collar. If those assembled yesterday
were the flower of his constituency, Mr.. Lewis
has no reason to be proud of the rank and file of
his Falstatfan regiment
Daniel Kelleher, the chairman, struggled
desperately for twelve mortal hours to Quell the
turbulent mob, and though he is an
excellent presiding officer, his en-
deayors met with success only after
midnight had come, and through sheer drousi-
ness and fatigue, the rioters became compare
lively quiet But at no time was there the
order which organized intelligence brings.
OF course resolutions were passed instruct
ing the Olympia delegation to use every honor
able means to nominate Mr.. Lewis for gov
ernor: but if there is any well
directed opposition to him, compe-
tent politicians will make ducks and
brakes of the dclegation for OF the thirty men
there not more than half dozen of recog-
nized standing and ability as political man
ayers, even in their own precincts.
In his eagerness to get creatures
wholly subservient to his dictation. Mr.. Lewis
has selected a delegation which as a whole is
too weak for fighting, too dull for
strategy. If such men for battle as
Judge Thomas Burke, d. II. Gilman, J. NJ.
Carson. J. B. Metealfe, ". II. White, c. d.
Emery, Junius Rochester, Percy W. Rochester
and DIR. A. " Marion choose TO get up little
party for Olympia next week, the official repre-
sentatives OF the King county Democracy will
become nonentities.
The county ticket, like the Olympia dclega-
ton, is rs good as could be expected from a con-
vention whose members were chosen merely ~
ties upon which 10 lay the Lewis track These
nominations will add nothing whatever to the
local strength of the Democracy
The TACT that the Lake Washington ship canal
10 in state politics 10 stay is emphasized
by the adoption yesterday of plank urging an
appropriation for the improvement
