an adjournment was taken until clock,
to allow time for report, which was sub
sequently extended, by request, until
1880 40 it was understood that all was
not harmony in the meetings Of the COM
mittees on credentials and platform. At
the appointed hour Chairman Hill raped
the convention to order and called for the
reports. There was nothing Of especial
interest in the report on order Of business.
That on permanent organization recon-
mended Judge N. T. Cation, Of Lincoln, for
chairman; f. NJ. Reed, of Yakima for
secretary; Milton Evans OF Clarke, and
Z. W. Pollock Of Skagit for assistant
secretaries; A. A. Richardson. of Clallam,
for reading clerk and w. G. Beale Of
kittitas for sergeant-at-srms. The re-
ports were adopted and while awaiting
for the arrival Of the chairman OF the
other committees, Mr.. Beale, the colored
delegate from Kittitss, made a stirling
and highly entertaining speech which
brought him into much favor with all
of the delegates.
The committee on credentials, II. j.
Snively chairman, next reported aud
then came hot.fght. The msjority re-
port favored the state central committee
apportionment OF As delegates aud the
minority report 81 delegates, on the basis
OF representation allotted to the counties
other than King and Pierce. The dis
cussion lasted several hours and then the
convention sustained the majority report
much to the discontinue of the King
county delegation, which, led by James
Hamilton Lewis, W. II. Thompson,
Daniel Kelliher and one or two more Of
their orators, made brilliant but losing
fight throughout. The convention evil
IDENTIFY had it In for King on account of
her didos two years ago and it didn't
hesitate to show it.
The report of the committee on plat
form provoked another rambling fight
and after voting down the minority re-
