Politics HOT AT TACOMA.


An0 NomfnAtsOn Or DELEGATE 70 u.
Louis Eagerly sought.
Tacoma, April cs.-Special.-Tne Repuo-
hcan county central committee issued in
formal call today for the county conven-
tien for the selection OF delegates to the
state convention at Everett next month.
According to the apportionment Of dele
gates by precincts, the convention viii
number 80. OF this the IS country pre-
cincts viii have - delegates and the IS
precincts in the city viii have $40.
The action Of the committee In making
. the apport.onment on the basis Of one
delegate for every IS and a fraction votes
cast for Doolittle In 1894. With three at
large has caused considerable comment
The country has clearly the advantage
1t il estimated that with q reasonable APP
portionment Of delegates at large. the
country precincts should have g less votes
IN the convention. The fact that many
committeeman from the city did not go to
the trouble Of attending the meeting Of
the committee IL given a. the reason for
the apportionment decided upon by the
committee. The country precincts were
well represented. and the delegates from
outside the city had no difficulty In con-
trolling the action Of the committee.
Under the apport.onment made by the
committee precinct casting only four
votes for Congressman Doolittle has that
uuIuDST Oh ueieSateS N the convention. In
one precinct-Kipows.n--t Is actually
the case. In OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
gave Doolittle I'VE votes there viii be four
delegates. The First precinct OF the Sec
ond ward, which gave the Republican can
didate for congress 80 votes. will be rep
resented by only nineteen delegates.
In tho fight over the delegation to the
Everett convention there ID a new factor
IN the candidacy OF D. T. Davies. OF Car
bonado. Mr.. Davies has the loyal support
OF the entire Nineteenth senatorial dis
trict. which will give him between eighty
and 100 votes in the convention. With so
many candidates in the field from this
county, 1t is hardly probable that the dele
cation named by the county convention
will go to Everett with any Instructions.
In several precincts of the Second ward
p. c. Sullivan has friends quietly at work
in his interest. Alexander Reed. who re-
will have the support OF its delegates. Mr..
Bennett Is strong in the Third precinct Of
the Second ward, and will have a number
Of precinct delegations in the Third. Orno
Strong is conceded his precinct. the Third
OF the First ward.
In Southwestern Washington there 10 al
ready talk Of q combination Of Chehalis
Clarke. Cowlltz. Pacific. Wahkiakum and
Lewis counties. George H. Emerson. OF
Aberdeen. IL said to be a candidate for
delegate to the national convention and L.
B. Minis. Of Chehal.s county, aspIres to
the nomination for state auditor.

Hon. G. A. Fink

Was born in the year 1884, in Rowan
county, N. G. He lived on a farm
until the age of Is, when he went in
to the printing and publishing bust
ness, which he followed until the
comm en- cement of the war. Several
wears previous to secession he estab-
shed, edited and published the
Lexington Flag, weekly newspaper
in Lexington, S. G, to which State
be had moved. At the beginning CT
the war he went 10 the front with the
1st South Carolina regiment and kept
bis readers posted by editorial CORES
pondence to his paper. After tie
first year of the war be suspended
the publication of his paper and
joined Gen. Wade Hampton cavalry,
where he served to the finish in Co.
F 5th S. G. regiment, following the
br We and gallant Hampton through
many bloody conflicts. His town
and home fell in the line of Sherman's
march through South Carolina, which
meant destruction and devastation to
everything in it's path, and when he
returned after the surrender, he
found his home and town in ashes
and all his earthly possessions swept
away, except loving wife and babe,
an unsullied character and a ragged
suit of soldiers clothes. He then
moved to Barlow county, Ga, there
to begin life anew. He bought a
farm on time, vert between the
plow-handles, and by hard labor,
pluck and energy paid for it. He
has always been active in all move
ments to advance the best interests
of the farmers and other wealth
producers Of the State. In the days
of the Grange he was a faithful
worker in that organization, and later
in agricultural clubs in his own
county. He early espoused the
cause of the Farmers Alliance, believ-
ing it to be great educator of the
people in the work of reform. Born
and raised a democrat, strictly of the
Jefersonian type, he adhered to the
organized party until he saw it was
ignoring all democratic principles
and departing from the faith, he then
cut loose from it and acted independ-
emily in politics, choosing rather to
stand for principle than with party
that had deserted all the principles
that it's name implied, and he now
maintains that the Peoples party is
the only true democratic party in ex-
istence. Never having had any politi-
cal aspirations, he only accepted the
nomination of his party after the
most earnest appeals of his friends
who elected him by handsome ma
jority. He made no promises in his
campaign that be has not endeavored
to fulfil. While he has made no
bumcomb spec ches on the floor of
the house, he has always been in his
seat and alert to the interests of his
constituents and State, as every re-
corded vote on the pages of the house
journal will show. He served OH the
important committee of finance,
where with the aid of other populists
and few conservative democrats, he
did much in holding down extrava-
CANT appropriations, and taking care
of the States finances.
He returns to his people with a
consciousness Of having been faithful
in the discharge of the obligations
impe sed upon h m.
