lie did not believe any DOUBT of being

The presence Of Blaine and other prom
inent Republicans here continues to furnish
the papers a prolific subject for gossip.
Blaine himself is very reticent and gives
them little to base rumors on. He refuses
10 talk politics. and smlingy referred re-

Ocratic State convention met here to-day for
the purpose, for the first time in the history
of the State, of choosing eight delegates to
the national Democratic cOny entlon at Chi
cagO.
The temporary chairman made a brief
speech. His references to Palmer and B0ies
were enthusiastically received, but when
he mentioned the name of Cleveland the
convention rose to its feet and cheered.
Cries of ''What is the matter with Cleve-
land?" were answered from all directions
by the reply, "Eie Is all right" The speaker
thought the delegation should not be in
structed.
The usual committees were then ap-
pointed, after which the convention took

A permanent organization was effected by
the election Of W. ID. OtOle OF Skagit County
chairman, +. w. ID. Mays of POmerOy sec
Tetary, A. W. Wisner Of Olympia assistant
secretary and A. L. Perry Of Seattle ser
geant-atarms.
The convention did not adopt platform,
but through resolutions simply renewed It's
devotion to the principles of the Democratic
party as set forth by Thomas Jefferson and
tndOrsed the administration of Grover
Cleveland. The last resolution reads as
follows:
"Having full confidence in the delegates
who will represent the Democrats OF Wash
ington at the national convention. we espe-
clally refrain from inStructing them to act
as unit in all matters intrusted to their

"The Washington delegation chosen to-

gates from Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas
and other RepSbliean States, but will CO.

are the bottom facts"

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt this morning sub
mitted to the House Civil Service Com
mittee a copy Of the letter he sent TO Post
master-General Wanamaker on the 10Th
inst In the letter Roosevelt says as Wana-
maker turned over 10 tile committee the re-
port of the PostofIice Inspectors in the Bal
timore office. in which they charge Roose-
velt with unfarness and partiality in the
Investigation of that Office without COM
ment he (RoOsevelt) must assume that Mr.
Wanamaker assumed the responsibility for
the impertinence Of his subOrdinates.
Roosevelt said he received no answer TO
this letter, and was, therefore, reluctantly
compelled 20 assume that the Postmaster
General made these statements his own. The
Postmaster General had said it was not for
him to consider whether the inspectors report
contained anything that could be construed
as dsrespectful or hostile TO the Civil Ser
vice Commission. Roosevelt said he de-
clined TO allow the Postmaster General to
shelter himself behind his subordiuateS, and
asserted that the statements OF the inspec-
tors are slanderoUs falsehOods. The COM
mttee voted TO request the Postmaster
General to furnish a written copy of the re-
port, he had said the Assistant Attorney
General bad made verbally, i'll which he
held that contributions TO primary cleo
tions were not political contributions, as
contemplated In the civil service law.

10 arrive at the facts of the case because
of so many conflicting interests. As usual,
race prejudice has been appealed to. and
efforts have been made TO create feeling.
The reports that Oberlander was ill-treated
by tile Mexican officials appear now to have
been untrue. He has been brought back to
Tia Juana. Governor Luis L. Torres will
arrive tomorrow and make a personal in
vestigation, and it is fully expected that
Oberlauder will be released, as the Mexi-

committed any offense against their laws.
