Between Dilley aud Tucker there is
hot fight for the nomination for sheriff.
1t is understood that Mr.. Tucker captur-
ed preponderence OF the delegates from
the city, Nstcbez and Ahtanum with fav-
orable instructions from the Wenas.
Mr.. Dilley has the Cowychee and large
proportion Of the delegates from the other
precincts other than those named. There
Is liable TO be hard fight between Mr..
Tucker and Mr.. Dilley which may result
10 a deadlock and the selection of o. V.
Carpenter. The nomination for this Office
is in the most chaotic condition of all Of
them.
For sssessorship Col. A. G. Walker
seems to have the whip hand although
w. J. Aumiller is making bitter fight
and is making charges which may
prove q boomerang for him when
the convention meets. Ben Egln Of
Tampico is also an aspirant for the nomi-
nation.
For the nomination for treasurer the
candidates are James Wiley and A. b.
Weed. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Wiley has
a preponderence Of the county delegation
in his favor but the nominee will have a
hard row to hoe in a contest with the
present cumbent of the office.
The republican nomination for prose-
cutting attorney is conceded to Mr.. Ira p.
Englehart without contest.
There are four candidates for the NOM
ination OF count clerk. Those who have
the most business with the Office favor
the candidacy Of the present deputy but
his political pull hasn't been Of the ma
chine order and he may be knocked out,
The leading candidates for all Of the Of
fees are from the city and the party
recognizes that the country must be con-
sidered. Three officers are their appoint
ment and the politicians cannot figure
where they come from unless the offices
of clerk and auditor are sacrificed on the
altar. Mr.. Hall with good record as an
auditor is not the especial favorite OF the
court house people for he is not bosom
companion and his close friendships are
not numerous. The office OF clerk bothers
the boys. They hate to sacrifice Harry

Progress Of the Co,orcd Race.

Bishop Abram Grant. who presided
over the recent conference of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church in
New York city, asks what race in his
tory, lifted out of slavery and ignor-
ance, has given a better account Of
itself than his race in it's thirty years
of liberty. The bishop, in the Wash
ington Posts opinion, is well qualified
to speak of and for the negroes, ana
he cites facts that are full of encour-
agement to them and to all good citi
zens. No interest of the whites is jaop-
ardized by the progress of the blacks.
On the contrary, the best interests OF
the people in general, of the nation as
a whole, are promoted by the advance
ment of the colored contingent i'm ed.
ucation. morality, and material pros
perity.
The bishop cites the census tables to
show that in 1890, the pure blacks oc-
cupied 1,1S6,114 of the 12.6CO,152 homes
in the United States and that of these,
207. SIC had been paid for. He says the
black men virtually run the agricul-
ture Of the South, and If white men

FOO Mich Study. .

An exchange comments upon the
physical inferiorty &C the pupils of the
schools in the city in which it is pub
lished and attributes the indisposition
Of the boys and girls to take exercise
to over-study. There is something
wrong with the boys and young men who
show no inclination to participate in the
sports which develop the muscles and
enliven the spirits. The writer asserts
that 'it is highly probable that ex-
cessive study is the chief cause
of the deficiency of the strength
and vigor, since its effects are
invariably such as are found in this
case, particularly a loss Of the natural
inclination for athletics among boys
