LOST IN THE SHUTTLE

By the way, what became of the John Hays Hammond boom for the oGlae of vIce-presldent? asks the Anaconda Standard. The apnaIs of the recent convention are silent respecting it. Yet Hammond took 1t to Chicago, He cer- tainly was there; one newspaper sad that he started hio personal campaign by giving away iorty-cent cigars and that instantly he was served with formal notice that he must quit It "be- cause he was violating the rule of the Vice-Presidentlal Candidates Union, which provided that the BevoridGo per. iecto, six or quarter, should be the only brand put in circulation"
 There was a report-not in the rogu- lar press service, however-to the effect that after several days Of jealous cam. paigning MT. Hammond had made sure of the vote of one delegate from Alaska, or at least, of half interest in that vote. Evidently tbo Tatls took this away from him. There is absolutely DO Hammond in the record Of tue conven. tion's roll call. He will have to con. tent himself with keeping in the news papers the tale that his salary as a mining expert, is-either a hundred thousand 8 year or a hundred million; we forget which.

Advices received in the last mall snow that Governor Hoggatt was found lined up against the best interests Of Alaska, as usual, when the bill provld ing that appeals from tbe decision Of tbe district courts of Alaska might be heard iu either San Francisco, Portland or Seattle was brought before the judic. iary committee of the house Of repre- sentatives, That the bilI was passed was due entirely to the good work of Representatives Jones and Humphrey, ot Washington, who stood in advocacy ot 1t against th, governor and the en, tire congressional delegation Of the state Of California.
 Why Governor Hoggatt should have opposed a measure so obviously of bene. fit to Alaska litigants is not clear. IL seems co be without even the color Of a reasonable excuse.
 Why should Governor HOggatt wish to fierce citizens Of Alaska to go to San Francisco to try appeal cases when these cases may be heard in Seattle, which is l 1000 miles closer to them.- Fairbanks News.

THE STORY OF 4 POLITICAL DILEMMA OUT OF WHICH A GREAT VICTORY IS ID COME

Some months ago, and previous to the convention at Kerchikan, Thom"s Gale, then in Washington, declared tba, he did not desire a reelection 10 the office he holds. The Alaskan at that time wired to Judge wiOkersham asking whether he would become a candidate. Ills reply was that he would not. Later, Mir, Gale, who had qualified his earliest statements to the effect that he would run again if his friends insisted, but that he would not be 8 candidate before any party conven- tion, was nominated, notwithstanding by faction of the convention at Ketch- ikau. He accepted that nomination. Still be did not come to Alaska and his friends grew anxious as to the success Of their cause. The United Press, in response Co many Irquiries-one Of them from the AlasEan-as to what had become of him, went so far as to send over the entire district the report that he, MT, Gale, was Host" All this time Mir. Gale was suffering manifold anSi- cites which, DO doubt, he daily expected to see lifted aud release him to come and make bis fight. In this extremity Judge wickersham announced his can- didacy--the resul, of continued solicit atiou of friends.
 But those who would have been pleased to supper, Judge Wickersham had he announced himself earlier had now, many of them-committed them. selves to Mir. Gale and, so long as be was in the fight, were not inclined to renounce their alleg ince, ,once assumed. This was the case Of the Alaskan. This newsoapsr believed that Thomas Gale had fulfilled his promises 10 the people who elected him, that his efforts had been opposed by the appointed governor and that he had not had 8 square deal. Therefore the Alaskan was DO, disposed to deser. Thomas Gale just because he illness Of his wife and daughter had added to his dilemma.
