The Eastern Washington Democrats are much
displeased with the action of the Democratic
State central committee in fixing the date of the
Democratic state convention so Late as August
q, two weeks later than the Republican meet
ing. Spokane gentleman is quoted by the
Rerier as saying: "My own opinion is that Gil
called it late in order to down Lewis at the polls
if they could not beat him for the nomination.
Lewis wants a three months campaign, but
they have decided he shall not have it."
The Whatcom Independs nj says: "Colonel Co.'S
grove is q hustler, and as he evid emily means
business, the Republican brethren who are op-
posed to him will experience considerable
trouble in turning down the energetic farmer
lawyer of Eastern Washington. Colonel Cos
grove says that Colonel James Hamilton Lewis,
If he secures the Democratic nominasio will
not secure a very heavy support in his own
baiiiwick-''eest of the mouatains''-but he is
willing to concede the Seattle colonel pretty
good vote in Western Washington, since he is
extremely popular with the laboring classes.
Senator Richards does not look fsyorably on
Colonel Cosgrove's candidacy, the senator being
assrong supporter of Eugene Wilson"
The spok ane Reriey says: "The neophytes in
the party-the fellows whose enthusiasm and
energy are usually manifested about the time
the officers appear in sight, are no match for
such a man. Hazards politics are OF the early
bird variety. He IS no sooner of with one cam
paign than he is on with the new; while his
enemies are asleep he is laying his plans and
putting them into execution. II is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that Democratic papers having
no particular affection for Mr. Hazard are
pleading for his retention as secretary of the
state central committee aud general hustler of
the party. They shudder TO think of the havoc
that he could bring il turned adrift and per-
miited to go wandering about like an cratic
comet or a wild train. If 1t were not for these
considerations George would be kicked out in
