There has always been a tendency
on the part Of saints, philosophers and
excitable people generally to feel sure
that what 10 wrong with the world is
ignorance-that II only people might
be induced to listen they could not
but incline their hearts to the attrac-
tons OF manifest righteousness.

Seward People Put All Their Eggs Into One Basket for Convention

The men elected as delegates to the Skagway convention from Seward have sent their proxies 70 Committe'- man Bunnell of Valdez who asked for them. There are two par''eS in the Democratic ranks in that cly and I, is feared in some quarters that the proxies may be used to further the interests of one of the part ,s to the detriment of the other. These two parties agreed in the primar' cleo tion but the breach has not bc.T heal ed although the Seward delegates can hardly be blamed for not owing that. It is hoped by some local De u- ocrats that the proxies WI be used for the general good of ths party however, in spite of the haste.
