Democratic primaries for the election
of delegates TO the county convention IN
this city on Saturday will be held through
out the city of Seattle and the county VI
King this afternoon and evening Inc
primaries in the city will be held between
the hours of 1880 and p m. In the coun-
trv the primaries will be conducted De-
tween such hours as best SUITS the coii-~
venience of the party voters.
In addition to the political fortunes OF Lee
r Hart and j. W. Goodwin, contestants
for Endorsement by the King county De
mocracy for national delegate, todays
primaries will mark the beginning OF a Dit
ter fractional fight between two distinct Oh
visions of the King county Democracy,
with manifestations extending 10 every par
of the state.
The indications are that many Populists
will vote in the primaries this evening.
The call for the primary elections ana
county convention issued by the Demo-
cratic county committee was couched IN
language calculated to draw Populist vot-
ers into the ranks of the Democracy. For
example, the first requirement of voter
at the primary as laid down in the official
call. is that he shall be a Democrat. Not
withstanding this fact, it is plain that
many Populists, especially in the First
ward, are taking a hand in the contest.
Two sets of primaries will doubtless he
ed in the Review gives the location of the
ward primaries as Teater's barn. on
Fourth avenue south and Washington
street. Committeeman Booth, from the
First ward. declares that the regular pri-
mary will be held at No. 5l3 Main street.
A call for the convention and pri-
mary elections printed in the Times last
evening and regularly signed by the chair
man and secretary of the Democratic
county committee gives No 5l3 Main
street as the place of holding the election.
Indications are not wanting that the
fight in the First will be duplicated in
other wards in the city, notably the Sixth,
where the Hart workers have, 1t is
claimed. secured the advantage. The pri-
mary in the Sixth will be held in a store
room owned by John Meagher, a pro-
nounced Hart man. The Goodwin man
ayers, however, claim that this fact will
not prevent hot contest in the Sixth.
The Goodwin men claim that they have
clear Walkaway in the Ninth ward.
Judge f. A. Mcdonald and A. b. Ernst
are handling the Ninth for Mr.. Goodwin.
Mr.. Ernst said last night that the Ninth
would go solidly for Goodwin At the same
time the Hart workers declare that they
will break even or better in the Ninth.
The silver Republicans will not. it is
said, participate in the primaries. Col.
G.. G. Lyon, one of the recognized leaders
of the Silver Republicans. said last night:
THE fight between Goodwin and Hart is
matter which does not concern the Silver
Republicans. We propose to maintain our
party organization intact. We have no
place in any Democratic dispute. Let the
Democrats settle their own controversies"

PRESIDENTS STEWARD
Responsible for All White House Pro-
 perty, and Gets Salary off 1900

From the Evening Post.
 The President of the United States has no advantage over any ordinary citizen when it comes to hiring a cook or settling grocery bills. There is no official chef con- nected with the White House, or any ap- propriation to buy oatmeal and beef steak MT Mckinley gets his house rent free, and he has the use of the china and silVerware, as well the furniture which he finds on the premises; the rest he must provide out of his salary of s50,0e0 a year. There is an office force of clerks in the Executive Man sion and half dozen doorkeepers and a fireman, all of whom are paid by the gov- ernment but the only government employe connected with the presidents private establishment is the steward who receives a yearly salary of $500. The position is a rather responsible one, and the incumbent Is under a heavy bond; he is held account able for all the movable property connected with the Presidents official residence, and at the end of every year must give a writ ten account of each article This includes china, brac-a-brac, and even the common crockery and tin plates used in the kitch- en. If any of the tableware is broken the pieces must be produced; and it is the cus- tom to send them to an auction shop, in their damaged condition and sell them to the highest bidder Worn-out carpets. win dow curtains and similar furnishings are disposed of in the same way.
 The present steward is a colored man, William T. Sinclair, who was brought to Washington by President Cleveland, and who has proved himself so efficient that he has been retained in office He is said to be as "canny" as a Scotchman, and he looks after things with an eye of exceeding thrift
 It Is Sinclair who does the marketing for the presidents table. He owns a horse and light wagon, and every morning be- fore sun is up he climbs into his rig and drives to one of the markets and to the various green-grocer and butcher shops He feels the bones in the chickens breasts, thumps the watermelons to test their ripe

Dr. Fitzsimmons, who has been with them for the past three years. The ladies have been giving sre-. suppers and entertainments until they have not only finished paying off the debt, but have just finished considerable new work in addition The grading of the avenue called for the raising and moving of the building, which had to be plastered.
