The pendulum Of political event, gossip
and suFmise seems To be the main factor
Of interest at present and this will con-
tinue until after tile November elections.
The daily papers With their telegraphic
reports are more carefully read than they
have been since 'ss, and every man who
has positive opinions or who Is supposed
TO have better facililIes for obtaining
knowledge Of national political moves
can always manage to collect crowd on
the streets. The opinions on Harrison
and Reid's nomination rs printed in last
weeks HERALD were eagerly read. Every
expression as published was uttered and
while some republicans preferred not to
be quoted they could mol deny the accur-
ary Of the report. Sperry, Of the Republic
found out that The HERALD was get
ting up such list and he rushed frantic
ally around to get expressions from re-
publicans to show how enthusiastic and
overjoyed they were over the result Of
the convention, but the outcome was not
especially gratifying and the feeling Of
disappointment cropped out everywhere.
The fact is that the republicans with
very few exceptions would prefer almost
anybody else and most Of them would
like TO follow the example Of Mr.. Pussley
Xho says he can spend election day murh
more pleasantly in the mountains than
be can in town.
The republicans At least wing Of the
paTty, Is looking arOund for some one
~hO can knOrk ont MyrOn Ellis on the
nomination for auditOr. Several names
nave been mentioned, bat the man who
can down Ellis in the rUnyentbn and
then stand fighting show with DulIey
Eshelman at the polls Is not picked mp
very day. 1t Is generally conceded that
Nr. Eshelman Is to have the nomination
Or auditT and that he will make q
4lrong run With every probability Of win
iinS.
r. J. Mackison, while on his last trip
lOwn frnm WenatcheP, said that It was
the general feeling In the upper country
that the lest town Of that section was yet
to be lOraied and that In all probability
il would be at Rock Island. Now comes
The news that the R1k Island Townsite
company has been incorporated and that
the incorpnrat0rs are L. @. DiIlman, A. A.
Newberry and W. B. Cowgirl. Of spo-
kane. The capital stock Of the company
Is 10000.
DR.. 8. B. ConoveF, the agricultural col
lee commissioner, has fled on 80 aires
4 land in section "a, township Is, range
". on the Mckee, under the desert land
oct. The doctor was in the city last week
and Notwithstanding that he had lost his
beard he was recognized by few who
wondered why he did not use his pFerog-
alive Of taking up government land In
the neighborhood Of Pullman, the Whit
man rounty town that SO greatly tiekled
t'is fancy.
While Yakima hops are looking their

crop, the Sacramento yards will yield
only from half to twO-thirds Of crop,
Tue to excessive moisture, and the grow.
srs on the Sound are DISCOURAGED over the
CONSTANT increase 10 the vermin, not
EithstandinE the vigorous fight that is
being made. Mr.. Charles Carpenter says
he apprehends no trouble here from this
,,ause although we have not had our
usual amount Of hot weather.
The Washington delegation to the Min
neupolis convention returned Saturday.
John Cleman was along with the balnncs
and was kept busy for some time after
wards shaking hands and explaining
how Il was that he cast his vote for Blaine
while he had always pFofesscd to b
strongly In favor Of Harrison. And noW
after II Is all over 1t seems rather strange
lhat the Washington delegates at the tail
end Of the roll call should persist Ia
>tieking to Blaine even after Harrison
had received enough votes 70 confirm his
nominaiiOn. II they proposed 70 abidG
by The choice Of the convention. why did
they peFsevere in striking to lost cause
when by switching TO Harrison the result
wauld not be altered but they could shou
that IL was their intention to ratify III,
will Of the majority? They should emu

spokane, Mr.. FairweatheF, who, wheI
advised to smooth the way to leave thu
republicans and get on the winning side
iauutily remarked that no administration
'Ould change quicker than he could.
