formed in body and went to the house of
Governor Ferry and serenaded him. The
governor made brief response,
thanking the people of King
for the serenade. and then he con-
cluded by proposing three cheers 'tfor our
next governor, ohm III. McGraw." No
end of shouting. After the shouting was
over the procession went to the house of
Auditor L. M. Reed, who was introduced
by Major w. V. Rinehart. Mr. Reed
made brief and happy acknowledgment
OF the attention, and expressed his regard
for Seattle's people. Then three cheers
were given for 1.-The man who should be
renomlnated for auditor tomorrow"
1880 a. NV. II. Doolittle, of Pierce.
viii have no opponent for the con-
gressional nomination, for ]. III. Long, of
Lewis, has just announced his withdrawal
from the contest. Senator Long had.
strong support, and his friends confidently
predicted his success, but he recognized
the fact that Doolittle's defeat would be a
serious disappointment to Pierce. Mr..
Long Is man who places
party harmony above party success, and
the welfare of the state above personal
preferment, and So in the nterest of har-
mony, he has withdrawn. There is now a
better and more cordial feeling among all
the counties than there has been since the
delegations arrived. With the southwest
combination of counties no longer bound
to the support of Long, more force will be
concentrated on Bowen for treasurer, and
he will undoubtedly be nominated.
: John l.. Wilson has no opponent.
The probability of McGraw's nomina-
tion for governor has not yet developed in
Eastern Washington new candidate for
lieutenant governor, and the talk is ac-
cOrdingly centering on +. II. Luce, of
Lincoln, who has been in the field from
the start. Thomas j. Smith, of Whitman,
has been spoken of, but he is
not candidate. 1t is not unlikely,
however. that before the balloting
someone else may come in. In Western
Washington ]. r. Thompson, of Clarke,
and W. II. Kneeland. of Mason, declare
that in case Cosgrove's foriorn hope is re-
allied they will come out. c. B. Weather
wax, OF Chehalis. a new man, would also
come out under such circumstances, and
perhaps he may as it is.
James II. Price, of Pierce, will probably
be nominated for secretary of state on the
first ballot. though his only rival, Allen
Weir, of Jefferson, says he expects re-
nomination.
w. f. Guernsey. of Columbia, and o. A.
Bowen, of Wahkiakum, both claim the
nomination for treasurer, and b. +.
Schwartz will be put up by Clallan
county.
II. \. Ballinger, of Jefferson, withdrew
today from the fight for attorney-general.
w. c. Jones, of Spokane, and A. w.
Frater. of Snohomish, are the leading con-
testants. though NJ. b. Malloy. of Doug
las. gained number of votes today. Thad
Huston, of Pierce, declares that he is still
hoping though he has no support from
his county.
When Eugene T. Wilson stepped down
L. r. Grimes, of kittitas, came out for
auditor, but T. M. Reed, the present in
cumbent, is in the lead.
w. T. Forrest, of Lewis, has the backing
of the southwestern counties for land COM
missioner, and Ralph X. Nichols, of Yak
ina, and Il. John Baker, of Clallam, are
still in the race.
= Il. b. Bryan. of Chehalis, has decided
that he does not want renominati tion for
superintendent of schools, and so c. w.
Bean, of Whitman, has the thing his own
way. Bryan's withdrawal started Wealth
erwax out for lieutenant governor.
X. B. Blake. of Spokane. and ]. w.
Robinson, of Thurston, seem to have small
support for the supreme bench. and so Ell
mon Scott, of Whatcom, and 7. ]. An
ders. of Walla Walla, will probably go
back. Spokane is now pushing Jones for
attorney general and leaving Blake to
shift for himself. o. C. White, of Thurs
ton, will be state printer again.
The joint district of Lincoln and Okla
hogan counties has nominated X. j.
Reeves, of Lincoln, for senator, and re-
nominated Wallace Mount for superior
judge. Snohomish and Kitsap have re-
nominated Judge John G. Denny, and
Walla Walla and Franklin have renomi-
mated Judge w. III. Upton.
