A SINGULAR PRECEDENT.

The republicans Of King county defeated
Major Armstrong in 1884, and the Hon. G.
NJ. Bradshaw, in 1886, both the regular
nominees of the republican party, but
when the central committees met. there
after to make the apportionment of dele
gates to the next territorial convention.
King county came smilingly to the front
and insisted that the basis Of representa-
ton should be made upon the vote on ad-
jutant general, this being one of the nomi-
nees to whom they had been loyal and true,
instead of upon the vote for congressman,
which had been the custom for years, and
this was done. Had the custom been fol-
lowed King county, owing to its treachery
to the ticket, would have had but
small representation in the terri
torial conventions which met at
Tacoma in 1886 and at Ellensburgh in
1888, but instead, the republican party,
through this committee, condoned the Of
tense and rewarded her for her treaohery.
1t was an injustice to all those counties
which had been loyal to the ticket. The
precedent has been established that any
county may knife any one on the ticket its
rings or leaders may desire and then Sc
cure representation for the next conyen-
tion based upon the vote for some one to
whom they were not disloyal. Strange
politics, but nevertheless its politics in
Washington.

CITY COUNCIL QUARTERS.

A matter of no little interest to the peo-
pie of Olympia is the proposition now un-
der discussion by the city council and the
board Of county commissioners to secure
accommodations for the city council in the
spacious rooms in the basement of the new
court house. The. stumbling block atpres-
ent appears to be the question of rent.
which the city council claims is too high.
There are few points to be consid-
cred in this connection, which will very
plainly illustrate the position of the city,
and show why it could reasonably ex-
pect accommodations in. the new building
at a nominal figure.
The court house is admitted to be a
county building, built with funds from
the county treasury. But, who pays this
money into the treasury Those who live
in the county outside Of Olympia alone ?
No indeed The people of the city bear
half the expense of construction of the
court house by reason of the fact that thew
pay major portion of the county tax.
More than that, the city bears half the ex-
pense in the salary of county officers and
in everything which is paid for out of the
county treasury. On the other hand. the
county is not called upon to share with the
city in It's expenses, for any offices or sala-
ries whatever.
Ihese references are not made to in any
way assert the rights of the city in county
matters, but to show that the city is ask
ing nothing unreasonable when il seeks a
rental at the lowest possible figure.
