PARTY HARMONY IS REFLECTED AT CON vENT|ON
Connors Returns from Fairbanks-Finds Demo-
 cratic Hopes Are High

Democrats throughout Alaska are jubilant over the prospects for party success in the Territory in the November election, and are equally confident of national vic- tory, declared J. J. Connors, Ma tional Committeeman for Alaska, who returned Saturday after att tending the Territorial Convention at Fairbanks
 The conviction is widespread that 1882 is certain to be a Demo- cratic Year, the party followers in all sections are organizing to carry Alaska along with the rest of the country"
 Convention Is Harmonious
 The convention was marked by unusual harmony, and the plat form wsa adopted by a unanimous vote. The Delegates to the con- vention were unanimous in their feeling that Senator A. J. Dimond, Valdez, was the most desirable can- didate for Delegate to Congress and were strongly inclined to en- dorse his candidacy. However, Sen- ator Dimond, who addressed the gathering on the subject, persuaded them to abandon the resolution of endorsement and leave the matter entirely in the hands of the voters in the April primary.
 The Committee on Resolutions had brought in a report endorsing the Senator. On the floor of the convention he moved to amend the report substituting for it's endorse ment a request that all three pros pective candidates-Dimond, Rep- resentative A. H. ziegler and George B. Grigsby-to file for the ncmin- ation. Sentiment of the convention, said MT. Connors, was not favor able to this.
 Makes Strong Plea
 In the face of this unfavorable attitude, Senator Dimond made a great speech which overcame the opposition and his amendment was adopted under which all three men were urged to file.
 According to all of the signs as interpreted by men more skilled in political matters than am, this is a Democratic Year in the nation and in Alaska" he declared. "The people are tired of the old shib- boleths which have brought noth- ing but disaster, and are looking for new leadership It certainly would be impolitic at this time to do or say anything which would
