Were thi- a certainty .here would be little to be said; but ou the seemingly remote chance that there may be devel opments in the convention which Uo not now appear, thete are a f-w thiugs that ought to be made plain. There is no blinking the fact tfiat Coos Bay has but little to ;hank Mr. Tongue for. While he has not entirely ignored us, he has not brought the r suits which we might reasonably expect. There is a widespread belief here that Mr. Touguli is too closely iusympath) with Portland Portland's. gplcy is to reta:n her ascendancy mainly by beatinij other places down.

Portland has a pet feet right to take his view it it pleases her, mid, Mr, Tongue has ntt equal right to cater to Portland. At the same time it may as well be undetstood that Coos Hay people recognize the fact that this section has been getting the chilly shoulder, aud that it does not feel particularly grateful to Mr. Tougtie. These are things to be kept in mind by the dele gates elected tomorrow. Even though Mr. Tongue be nominated and elected without difncultv, it will do no harm if he be given to uuderMand that thisscct'on of the state expects something more front him in the way of tangible results.
