At the beslnnlnS of the present century

possible to work low grade ores at prof

The fight over the Office OF sheriff is
more tropical even than the weather.
The contention is not among the demo-
Gratis for the nomination for while both
Marshal Grant and Ex-sherff A. J..
Shaw are candidates the rivalry is en-.
tirely of friendly character. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that Mr.. Shaw is in the
lead, although the latter says Mr..
Grant is putting up strong fight.
But the scrap among the repub.
licans is at a fever heat. The re-
suit of numerous confabs between Lin
coin Dilley and DR.. w. H. Hare has fin
ally crystalized and it is understood that
Dilley will not enter the race or at least
stay only long enough to twist it around
and break it off in Sheriff Tucker. There
hasn't been a very amisble feeling be.
tween these two for number OF years past
and now Dllley is out with his Ratchet and
Tucker carries machette sharpened to
razor edge. The latter says that Dilley

The Attempt to Make the Bryan
Stevenson Ratification Meetings.
Failure Proves AbOrtivc.
FARMER TODD WINS LAURELS
Other Political Notes of General Interest
Republicans Having Big S1uatble over
the Nomination for Sheriff-More
Candidates Announce Themselves.

The democratic ratification meeting,
which was held in Larson's theater Sat
urday evening proved very decided
success notwithstanding that it was
heavily handicapped. Owing to the
change OF dates it was found late IN the
week that Judge Ronald ard Ex-ron-
gresham W. c. Jones would lie unable
to be present, so an effort was made to
secure other speakers with the result
that in addition TO Judge Windsor OF
Seattle, J H. Todd OF Mason county,
who is Familiarity known as Farmer"
Todd, and Hon. Fred Rice Row ell of Sc
attic. were prevailed upon to visit Yak
ina and take part in the meeting.
Through the very scurvy trick OF some
OF the republican bosses the report was
circulated that no speakers were here
from abroad. and as the night was de.
cidedly warm many who would other
wise have been present were influenced
to remain away. 1t was an exceedingly
small act and has met with the decided
disapproval OF many republicans who
prefer clean campaign to one that this
course would indicate the inauguration
of.
Contrary to expectation, however,
there was big meeting and while all OF
the seats were not taken the few vacant
ones were hardly noticeable. Judge E.
B. Preble presided in very graceful
manner and introduced the several speak
ers, who held the audience, for all the
heat, until after eleven o clock. Farmer
Todd undoubtedly carried off the laurels
OF the evening and proved conclusively
that his brains were not located in his
high.water pants, for in his homely way
be enunciated fact after fact that could
not but impress his hearers and which
brought forth storm Of applause and
completely won the audience. The
cheering could be heard for blocks and
carried conviction to those who did not
attend that trickery had failed and that
the ratification meeting had proved a
success after all.
