have to be selected, and in that
case the friends Of Judge Nc
Gilvra hope to get in their work
and have the county convention
endorse their favorite. It is said
that Mr.. Cute had this very thing
much in view, and when he learned
through the columns of The Re-
PUBLICAN that Judge McGilvra
might steal his thunder in that
particular, he met the Judge one
day this week, and to show his
disapproval of such course on
the part Of Judge McGilvra, gave
him the marble heart instead OF
greeting in the same warm and
cordial manner as he had been
wont to do. DR.. T. M. Young may
also take hand in the guberna-
torial fight before it is ended, now
that his son has returned from
Europe to render him valuable
assistance.

Seattle has lost quite few we'll
known politicians in the Nome
excitement, who doubtless would
have played very conspicuous
parts in the coming Republican
primary contest in this city and
county. Last Sunday saw the
Fifth ward loose two active politi-
clans in the persons of Ell. G.
Gordon and John B. Wright.
These gentlemen always fought in
different factions and were ever in
evidence at primaries, both of
them have sailed for Nome and
will hardly be back in time to take
q part in the primary fight.
The Seventh ward lost a very
active Republican worker in the
person of Attorney James Kiefer
He was a warm friend of Mr..
Frink and would have made things
hum in his section of the city
toward securing Frink delega-
ton had he remained in the city.
Mr.. Kiefer has never been elected
to any Office though he has always
been strong political factor in
the affairs of the Seventh ward.
A heavy loss will be sustained
by Mr.. Frink in the sailing Of ex-
Governor John Ell. McGraw
Many Of the leading Republicans
regret very much to loose the wise
council of the ex-governor in the
coming political bout, and so con-
yinced were the Pipers that Gov
ernor McGraw would swing the
greater part of the Fourth ward
that George q. Piper left the
fourth precinct and moved to the
second precinct, where he hopes to
be more certain of getting seat
IN the next county Republican
convention.
The first ward has also lost
quite a few "tenderloin" politi-
clans in the persons Of Consodine
and Billie Belonde and others, |
who left on the Skookum to open
up resort in Nome.
The Third ward will loose two |
very active workers in the persons |
of Hiram G. Gill and George FL. |
Grose. The latter is one Of the
heavy property holders of the
Third, and was always to be found |
IN the conventions which named
Republican tickets. The Third is
always solid. but the activity of
both of those gentlemen will be
greatly missed by their associates. |

While belonging to no paaticu-
lar ward of this city at present,
yet equally as conspicuous as any |
politician that has gone North, |
was A. G. Mcbride, who is to be |
United States commissioner at |
Cape York. He sailed last We'd
nesday and remarked to the Pie
maker a few hours before going |
aboard that, Il am quite certain |
that l have at last struck good |
thing. [ have no idea when [ will |
be in Seattle again, but you can
rest assured that it will not be
until | can return in good fix"
No man in the city stood higher
than Mr.. Mcbride and his many |
friends will be pleased to hear
that he is so hopeful of having
something good in hands grasp.
