POLITICS IN SEATTLE
Fight on Humes for Mayoralty
Nomination.
ATTITUBJE OF THE WILSON FORCES
i
Candttate f Deweoratt, Populists
and KsrtIaBs, and Hew They
afiasr Figure In Contest.
BEATMJC. WasaC Feb. 3.-A tattle
royal Is heme fought between the Humes
And antl Hainan forces foe the mayor
alty iwnrinattou. It will reach its cli
max at the primaries Saturday evening.
The Humes forces are well organized,
aggressive and confluent, white the oppo
sition is no law active and determined,
but without a definite plan of campaign.
It looked a month agtulf there might
be no Tery serious contest against the
mayor for reomlnatJntt. There was lit
tle advantage to gain in his defeat and,
eo ter w the Wilson faction was con
cerned, amen to risk. Evidently the as
tute little es-eenater divined the situa
tion and was willing to keep hands oft.
His local organ pursued & course of em
inent impartiality, and a few of his wiser
friends Mr. Wilson's wise friends In
Seattle are conspicuous chiefly for
their scarcity counseled harmony.
Though they cried for peace, there Is no
peace. The price of peace was the nom
ination at some other person than Judge
Humes, and the teems were rejected by
the mayor's friends.
The uncontrollable activity of the
ii lends of Mr. Wtteea manifested itself
In an effort to bring out & candidate fer
mayor acceptable to the so-called church
element and to themselves. Their choice
fell on Controller Parry. Net that they
loved Parry mom. hut they did love
Humes less. Mr. Parry was a warm sup
porter of Humes for senator in the last
campaign, and many of his strongest
friends are included among Humes' par
tisans. He has been controller for six
years and has made an Ideal offloer. Re
cently he announced that he would not
be a candidate for re-election, and said
that he hod. withdrawn wholly from pol
itics. He has. It is understood, accepted
en important oonfldentlal position with
Moran Brokers, shipbuilders and lum
bermen. From his own standpoint, t Par
ry's nomination was impossible, and he
declined all invitations to enter the race,
going so far as to send Judge Humes
word that he would be in no sense a can
didate accept possibly on the unanimous
request of the republican convention, and
upon consent of Humes himself. The
anti-Humes plan of campaign had been
to encourage the candidacies of numer
ous aspirants, with the ultimate pur
pose of consolidating their several fol
lowers on Parry. This course gave a
great deal of offense to persons like Harry
trordon and Judge C. 6. Austin, who did
not like the idea of being used as stalk
ing horses. It was at one time reported
that they had declared their purpose of
withdrawal if they were t be put up
only to he knocked down, but, when the
Parry scheme failed, they were persuad
ed to stay in the field.
A third opposition candidate Is E. L.
Blaine, of the -eighth word, Mr. Blaine
Is maktae: his anneal- oepoetatty to the
ihurch element. He Is a gentleman ot
hiehly respectable character and connec
tions, but, although a more or less prom
inent factor in politics, has not been
especially successful as a politician. A
very sharp fight Is being made on him
in his own ward, with the probable re
Fuit that it will come to the convention
divided in its support between himself,
Humes and Austin, who is also a res
ident of the eighth. It te clear 11f
opposition to Humes is considerable in
numbers, hut at tuts time the chances
appear to be that it will not be able to
ftcsompttsh his defeat, The Parry idea
continues to linger, however, and that
some effort will he mode at the last mo
ment to stampede the convention for hkn
is probable.
The fuslontsts have made their nomina
tions. John CoUtns. who is suspected of
being a gold democrat, has been named
b the democracy, and George Cotterill
rv the populists and so-called non-par-4
'sans. The tatter Is a. mere popuUst slde

aspect on the shooting affray. La Wal

complained to her husband. Butler cam 6
out and started the affray by kicking La
Walton while he was bending over at his
work. La Wallen got the woTst of the
encounter'that followed. While he was on
bis lenees, he says, he pulled his revolver
and shot Butler through the hand. Be

struction Island, a distance of about 90
miles, was made in a few minutes over
four hours, and after that time It was
found necessary to slow her down. Cap

purchased a logging engine, and, with sev
eral of the residents of that section, will
engage in logging on their own property.
These people have worked at logging In
winter and fishing in summer for some
years, but the recent advance in the price
of timber has caused them to engage more
extensively in tne logging business.

Thomas Howard, Inspector of rural mall

Old tin cans, ooveriass board boxes, or
merely the whole front yard, In some cases,
are the receptacles for mail commonly

people along the routes comply wHh the
regulations, he will recommend that the
routes be discontinued. Still, he was not
so hopeless concerning rural delivery la

Against Fusion Slim Attendance.
SALEM, Or.. Eeb. 16, After a four-
hour session in this city this afternoon, I
the Marlon county populistcentral com
mittee declared against fusion, and In
dorsed Barker and Donnelly as the na
tional candidates of the people's party.
Only nine of the 40 precincts were repre
sented. "Middle-of-the-roaders" had six
of the nine members of the committee,
and had everything their own way. George
W. Weeks, who was chairman under the
fusion movement, presided today, and no
effort was made to remove him, although
G. W. Vedder, the middle-of-the-road-
chairman, was present and participated
In the discussions.
The meeting was a warm one. No per
sonalities were resorted to and every one
was in good humor, but the speakers
wasted no time hunting for soft words to
express their opinions. Bryan, In particu
lar, and republicans and democrats in gen
eral were severely handled. The almost
unanimous opinion was that the people's
party must work primarily and without
concession for the initiative and referen
dum.
The resolutions adopted Include a reaf
firmance of the Omaha platform and the
platform and rules of organization adopted
at Cincinnati, September 6, 1S98.
After the adjournment tonight It was
said that only one of the six middle-of-the-roaders
present was a regular members of
the committee, and that only t three of the
nine present had authority to serve on
the committee.
State Populist Meeting.
It was announced in Salem today that
the state central committee of the peo
ple's party would meet in Portland Febru
ary ,22. This will be a meeting of the
fusion populists.
John M. Payne, secretary of the Marion
county populist central committee, illus
trated his v"ew of the proper position of
his party on the fusion question by teHIng
a story aoout a man wno joinea me
church. The new member and one of the
old pillars of the church had been bitter
enemies for years, and had persistently
avoided speaking to each other. On the
day the new member was formally re
ceived Into the fold the pastor and his
flosk gave him a warm handshake by way
of welcome. When the new member and
h'-s enemy met the latter said, haughtily:
k"I suppose you don't want to shake hands
with me. The new memDer, witn aown
cast looks, held out his hand, and replied:
"I feel humble enough to shake hands
with a dog."
A somewhat similar view was expressed
by H. S. Jory,. once a candidate on, the
populist ticket for the office of superin
tendent of public Instruction. He skid
today: "Our Que contact with the rotten
cerpse of the democratic party nearly
wrought our destruction."
Transfer of n Priest.
Rev. D. P. Curley, who has been serving
as assistant pastor in St Joseph s Catholic
church, in this city, has been transferred
to a similar position In St Francis'
church, at Portland. He left today for
his new field. Rev. Mr. Curley came to
Salem last year from Ireland, and during
his- stay here made many warm menus.
Supreme Court Business.
Owing to the fact that the supreme court
has been trying cases faster than they
could be decided. Clerk Murphy did not
set any cases for trial tills week. If Is
probable, also, that no cases will be set
next wek.
Marion County Circuit Court.
In the circuit court today a number of
small cases were disposed of. In the
case of Amos Strong vs. W. G. Westa
cott an action to recover about $400, al
leged to be due for rent, the jury re
turned a verdict for the plaintiff for ?20.
The defendant had tendered the sum of
3.
In two cases brought by Captain S. B.
Ormsby against George Howe and Percy
Brown to recover less than $20, a nonsuit
was granted. The costs of the suits will
amount to several hundred dollars.
