100 members. one for sgery precinct IN tae

city and the remainder from the country.
Tie country sentiment IS strongly anis-
fusion and she COMMITTEES undoubtedly -
made up of men who deplore the acts OF
the late county convention. They viii re-
member. however, that the very last act OF
that convention was 10 instruct them to
complete the ticket, and. with this IN
mind. they will probably be unable TO see
that such action would In effect nuiiify the
minority report.
The county committee will not meet
until c<iIed 20 order either BY outgoing
Chairman Collins or Viii III. Ibomp-
son, chairman of the convention. When
Il does meet the anti-fnsienists wiil make
one las. effort 70 Dust the grand chief
fusionist from his seat.
Good Democrats have not ceased 70
mourn the incomplete legislative ticket.
Said one yesterday:
eff we could vote for our men 10 20 TO
Olympia il wonld not be so bad, but out IN
my district | can't vote for anybody but
Republican. Now the question OF natlonai
politics enters into this matter, and my
vote IL east nj ALL would go 20 help elect
Republican 70 the United States senate.
/ don't propose TO do anything OF the kind.
It's against my principles. and III stay at
home election day rather than give my
support to Republican. Republicans
are good enough fellows in their way, but
/ don't propose that nv vote shah help
send one OF them to Washington City.
Why couldn't Collins have given us

figuring on new scheme to contribute an
article. Collins now aspires 20 the control

taken hts statesmen with him to achieve
that object He will undoubtedly meet
with strong opposition from Pierce and.

one man yesterday, ''nniess she goes to

II Is thought that King county will give

vote for supreme judge. and possibly urge
his name tor nomination ia case the con-
gresham goes elsewhere. Gen. Z. w.

nsstion.
An OLIVE BRANCH FOR LEWIS.
Collector ]. c. Saunders accompanied
The Jefferson county men, and though not
q delegate, he will DO more than an i'm
tersstsd spectator at the convention. IL
Is worthy of mention in this connection
that Mr.. Saunders has offered the olive
branch to Col. James Hamilton Lewis by
giving Lewis friend, George Moore. a tenn
porary position as Chinese inspector at
Taeoma. This recalls tho fiery correspond
enoe between the doughty colonel and
u
month ago. when Lewis applied to
Saunders for position in the customs SER
vice for Moore. who had done yeoman's
service for Lewis IN the Seattle wards.
The collector wrote q cutting letter in re-
ply 10 the application. informing the
colonel that no place was open tor his
candidate and intimating tha. the custom
house was not asylum for political
refugees. Ii is evident that Saunders has
since repented, and does not desire that
Lewis should go 10 the convention with
his knife we'll sharpened ready for political
scaips, for on Monday Moore Was informed
by Lewis that he had received brief dis
patch from Saunders saying that a place
was aiting him in Tacoma
The Jefferson county delegation arrived
