THE UNROPED ARENA.

There has been some talk of nominating
Chester II. Warner, of Colfax. for governor on
the Democratic ticket. In Tacoma on wednes-
day he said: "If the Democrats of Western
Washington are united and think that Colonel
Lewis 10 the strongest man, that will be salts.

The Spokane Chroaic,e says: H N. Baldwin.
OF Ellensburg. member of Lodge No. 50, and
Il. {. Humphrey, of North Yakima, and a men,
Ter OF Lodge No. 81. are cumming together.
They say that 90 far they have had . pleasant
visit In political way they say that the Re-
publicans of their towns are for Gene Wilson
for governor. The Democrats are for "Dude''
Lewis.
The whatcom Independent says: Colonel
James Hamilton Lewis, OF Seattle. does not seem
to be afraid of Major Chester Henry Warner. of
Colfax. in the race for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton. He lie reported as serene and confident,
and his auburn whiskers are neatly divided
In the middle and combed as carefully as ever
He is, i; seems, the darling OF ste people who

in SPOKANE He said he thought Tom Reed
would carry off the Republican nomination for
governor and that some of the Democrats did
not know whether they wanted Colonel Lewis
10 be q candidate for congressman or governor.
He had warm supporters for both places. He
said that since he came 10 Spokane he had heard
the name OF senator John r. Allen mentioned
SIS Republic candidate for governor. There
was some feeling, he thought in the party that
the eass side should have the governor this time
and il Mr.. Allen should be a candidate il might
make some important changes in the Republ-
can programme.
Jesse F. Cochran, OF the board Of public
works, would like the Democratic nomination
for sheriff. aud he is apparently laying sll his
pipes to secure this trophy. In the fall of ls91
he tried for the nomination. but William Coch-
rane, of White River, got il The removal of
Dubois FIFTEEN from the place of superintendent
OF the water-wo.ks was partly due to Jesse
Cochrsn's sn5ition-so the story runs ". E.
Wilson threatened 10 try for the nomination for
sheriff himself If he was not made superintsnd-
ent OF the wStes-woTks; and so Mr.. Cochran, in
order TO ges him out OF the way, pulled the
string to turn out FIFTEEN, who had been SUPER
