The winners picked for tomorrow In
eIudss Hedges for treasurer; Fairweather
or NsubsFt for CLERK; 0goyd for auditori
Fink for assessor; n dark horse for prose-
cutting attorney; Shepard. Of South
Prairie. for surveyor.
The platform and resolutions have been
prepared and call for gold and silver, the
latter 10 to 1: restriction Of immigration;
protective tariff, especially on Injuries.
and free entry Of pecessaries. The
re-elsction of Congressman Doolittle is
insisted upon as the frst desire Of Pierce
county, aud the delegation TO the state
convention In instructed TO vote for him
rs a unit, first, last aud all the time. The
Nicaragua canal IL demanded, and Judge
Pritchard IL Endorsed for the supreme
bench.
Two remarkable things were done by
the convention. viz;
First-Ths report OF the committee on
credentials Was reversed as regards the
Fifth precinct Of the Third ward where
delegation designated as the A. +. A. dele
sation vas seated. Notwithstanding that
the committee reported Ia favor of seating
the oontasting delegation.
Second--Ths report of the committee on
permanent organization and order Of bust
ness was turned inside out and upside
down. leaving 10 as amended. providing
for the nomination of county commission
ers. state senators. representatives and
delegates 70 the state convention before
the sheriff. county treasurer and the like.
Il took all day to accomplish these two
things Once accomplished these changes
meant the pulserlslng of all previous states
or combinations of candidates. IL also
gave significance 30 the hints OF great pos.
abilities for dark horses that have ap-
peared In the Posr-isrEILfoKscKA 1t was
q combination OF the field against the
fsvorites La most instances. and its effect
was felt at once by tho indefaligable
coaches for the leading candidates.
Badly stated, the signiheance of the
successful turning OF things inside out
meant the crushing of the oliques and
rings fostsred by the administration Of ex-
Mayor Huson, the Tacoma Ledger and
latteriy by the board of public works.
G. O. Bates, as stated several days ago In
the Posr-lNrELIrcKScxR. was agreed upon
"a compromise candidate for chairman
Of the convention. Bates received 3s7

next BIT above whatever preference
there might have been, he stood always
for clever presiding officer who could De

Itself Was no easy task.
All this Was built upoa the dssirs OF the
ghost Of ihs Huson ring to make the NOM
