How the Several Rounds Were Fought
and Won.

John Collins. chairman OF tho county central
committee, called the convention to order, and
r. r. Blaine, Collins man, and Dr. G. b.
Thompson, OF Kent, for the opposition, were put
mp for temporary chairman. b. F. DE Bow. OF
Seattle, who came in on proxy from Eaylo
Gorge, objected that DR.. Thompson only held
proxy. The rstort was made that T. F. Blaine
was in the same fix, and then the yelling was
terrific
Tho question OF allowing proxies TO vote
then came up, aud William Cochrane roundly
asserted that there were q number of fraudu-
lent proxies in the hall; among them one held
by Demosthenes Do Bow, from Eagle Gorgs-a
place where there was no voting precinct. De
bow dercely denied the charge, and William
Cochrane, amid the yells from all parts OF the
room, answered: IL maintain that De Bow is a
fraud In this convention on fraudulent cer-
tfeate."
After half an hour Of this sort OF scrimmaging
Or. Thompson was chosen temporary chairman,
J. 7. Blackstone secretary and J. W. Lang as
kistant.
On the question OF appointing committees the
pickering began again, aud delegate declared
that the convention was mob, aud that re.
spectacle gentlemen from tho country had
gotten disguised and had gone home Some
one handed to the chair paper, and De Bow
broke out IN TRADE against the appointment OF
