REPUBLICANS AVOID PERSONAL
FIGHTS; STICK TOHARMONY Plan
Leaders Decide Against Criticism of Governor Pnkhan
Outbreaks of Rice Kthio Rivalry Are Avoded-Conven
ton Declines to Get Into Scraps

Rival candidates. and the possible
renewal of ancient and modern scraps
within the Republican party were
thrust out of the way yesterday by
the Republican leaders of the terri
torial platform convention, but two or
three times it was only by wise fore
sight and political tact that danger
Gus situations were averted.
Nine-tenths of the delegates to the
convention were devoted to the in
terests of party harmony. Some of
the other tenth wanted to start
something" and some of the rest
merely didn't know what a political
and party blunder it would have been
to interject anything that looked like
personalities into the contention pro.
ceedings. ...
The friends of Governor Pinkham
may not yet know it, but the fact is
that a strong movement developed a
few days ago to have the Republican
platform sail into" the territorial ad-
ministration and score the governor
and his handling of affairs.
That would have been in line with
some of the accepted principles of
old-line politicians. A party platform
usually roasts somebody and to few
of the Republicans it looked as if the
time were ripe and the conditions
were right for roast on Governor
Pinkham -.
On the other hand, some of the
cooler heads in G. o. P. leadership
felt first that the governor is not to
be blamed for his lack of support in
some of the things he is trying to
do and second that it would be mis-
take to criticise him in the way the
more drastic counselors wished the
platform to criticise.

Fired with Anger Shelng of Defenseess Towns.

London, Dec. 10, 1885 D. nl.-FOr the first
time in centuries England has been struck by
foreign foe. A squadron Of swift German
cruisers crept through the fog last night to the
eastern coast and turned their guns against
the BritOns
When day broke they began the bonn
bardment of three important towns-Hartle-
pool at the mouth of the Tees; Whitby, thirty
five miles southwark, and Scarborough, noted
as pleasure resort, fifteen miles beyond.
HARTLEPOOL SUFFERS MOST.
Hartlepool suffered most. There two
battle cruisers and an armored cruiser were
engaged and at this place the greatest loss of
life occurred. The British war office fixed
the number of dead at Hartlepool as seven
soldiers and twenty-five civilians and the
wounded at fourteen soldiers and fifty
civilians.
At Scarborough, where battle cruiser
and an armOred cruiser shelled the town,
thirteen casualties are reported, while at
Whitby two were killed and two wounded.
STRUCK WITHOUT WARNING.
Men, women and children of the civilian
population were left dead or wounded struck
without warning while at breakfast or at
work In all the casualty list totals no. ac-
cOrdng to the official estimates, of whom 81
are known to be dead.
THREE CHURCHES DAMAGED.
Three churches were damaged: the gas
works and lumber yards at Hartlepool were
set afire and the abbey at Whitby was struck
