Eggs. but They Are Smashed.
LA CONNER Nov. 2-[Special. The late
visit of Register o'Toole. of the Seattle
land Office, to Mount Vernon was without
doubt for the purpose of Matching an
extensive trade between the Democrats
and Populists, and without doubt the
great politician was in a measure, at least,
unsuccessful. The Democratic candidate
for treasurer, Daniel Sullivan. 10 q large
property owner, and rather than submit
to the Seattle Democratic boss and be
party to trade with the socialistic Pops,
Mr.. Sullivan has issued circular letter
asking his friends to support the Repub-
lican nominee, who is also substantial
property owner.
To one on the outside this seems 10 be
one result of Mr.. O'Tooles visit. 1t Is
also said that an open rupture occurred
between the o'Toole faction and the old
line Democrats. The ablest Democratic
orator in the county had been, up to the
time OF o'Toole's visit. expounding the
doctrines Of Democracy as laid down In
the national platform, and urging the
camp followers to vote straight ticket.
This Mortified 0'Tooie and the orator was
called in tor a consultation. A stormy
scene is said TO have taken place. The
O'Toole faction thought ii was madness 10
talk straight ticket-that the only hope Of
even partial success was in trade with
the Pops. and also a talk founded upon
the state platform. The orator said he
was a Democrat; that the national plat
form was good enough for him. and that
by ell the bow-wows he would talk
straight ticket If he talked at all.

substantinted by the return OF the orator
to the quiet of home life. He has been al
together too effectually hushed. The
trade for legislative honors is In statu quo.
The Pops advance the argument, and with
some reason. too, that the alleged nomina-
ton of Fred f. Pspe at Friday Hsrbor was
not legal. and insist that he withdraw in
favor OF f. C. Nordyke. The Democracy
want the joint senatorshIp. however, and
