! 1t is said that Ramsey and ST. Louis
county Republicans have formed a COM
bination. What did Ramsey get out
of it2
| The depths of DISCRIMINATION to which

]. w Goodwin, OF Seattle, came in on
the Great Northern yesterday afternoon
en- route to the Kansas City convention.
The rest Of the Democratic delegates,
with the delegates to the silver
Republican convention, took the short
cut southwark from Billings. Mr..
Goodwin is very confident that the Kansas
City convention will nominate the next
president, and says his confidence is
shared by the Washington Democracy
generally. He said:
"Washington will be for Bryan this fall.
The Democrats in 1898, when the state
went Republican by 3,000 were not Or
gained, but they are now getting in
shape to begin an aggressive crusade
and intend to surpass the 1900 majority
they gave Bryan in 1896. AS to the vice
presidency sentiment in Washington in
general, / believe, is for Towne, but the
delegation is not instructed further than
to cast a complimentary vote for James
Hamilton Lewis, of our state.
Seattle people believe the Alaskan gold
deposits Will hold out for long time
yet, and the city Is enjoying much
country than ever. My firm-we are in
the fruit and commission line-can de-
liver goods in Dawson In about seven
days now, and freightS are reasonable.
This summer we are sending all kinds of
fruits up there, and the gold hunter can
have about every thing that is for sale on
the coast.
The electors In each state meet at the
capitol the second Wednesday in Janu-
airy; and, after reporting to the governor,
give their votes for one or the other of
the candidates, whichever received enough
votes in any state to entitle them to con-
sideration. The result of the vote is then
made out in trplieate. One copy is sent
to the president of the senate by mail
enc copy is sent to him by messenger, and
one copy is sent to a judge of the district
in which the electors assemble. To these
copies will be annexed lists of the electors
prepared by the executive of each state
according to the official returns
The reason for taking three copies of
the vote of the electors is the possibility
that one or two may go astray, and the
precaution has been found wise in more
than one instance. At the time of Mr.
Harrison's election it was necessary to
go to the district Judge to obtain the
vote of one of the states, the messenger
having gone astray somewhere, and the
vote by mail having been lost In tran
sit.
The messengers have one month in
which to reach the capitol. If the return
has not been received by that time, the
president of the senate sends a special
messenger to get the returns from the
district judge.
