IIARMONV PREVAILS Tho priniariaa are In the forgotton c past. Tho delegates to tho couuty cons vontlon have been named and unquee-f-tlohably harmony prevails in the ranks ' ofMarsbfiold Republicans. Tho fignt yesterday in this city wai a factional one, bnt was by no means a pcreonal controvereary. The Coke and Hume contigente exerted their every effort to elect delegations fa vol able to their in dividual leaders, but there existed no aunimosity, although tho contost waxed worm before the flahh had been reach ed. The Coapt Mail had stood for Mr. "Home from tho first. It ucd every honest means to secure representations i sin tho convention favorable to that "gentleman'iciudidAsy, bntatno timo did it resort to any thing of a personal 1 nature in its efforts to cseist Mr. Hume ch:nccs to become the senatorial nomi . xce. tit is a prerogative of the American pccple to chcote their party candidates aud this is done tv tbe selection of the delegates to thenominating convention. This -the MarsLileld R?publicana did but without personal malice. Who ever may bo the nominee of tbe con tention will be ardently supported by .the Marflbfield Republicans. Be the choice of the convention for joint ecna' lor either Home or Coke, the Coast Mail will eupport him as will every other Republican in this tenatoral dis , trict who is worthy the name. What a lot of fun there will bo at Coqullle next Thursday when the con .yent'oa meets. There are whole cor porul'fl.guards of aspirants for several of'thc different county offices, ovor each of which a fair vized fight is anticipated. The joint ceuator proposition will como up, which is expected to result in a close coulee t. The result of tha prim aries held ye terday, however, would eeem to indica'u that the precident of leaving two nomiuatlou of joint senator to Coos County will bo changed, which , means that Mr. Hume will bo the party candidate for that honor. t ., , . r Tho Mail wishe to acknowledge its appreciation of the Hue, work dono at 7 the primaries yesterday. There is more tban one wav totkin a cat, aud in poll- . tics, as eho is prncticed, tho main thing is, to 1 get tho cat eknn. Yesterday's skinning ws dono with ueatceea and 'in 1 dispatch. V ..... - , . ' Port Orfdfd Tribune Hon. R. D. II Vino arrived from San Francicco, via 0S?'n$y'M "laj-, aud spent a . couplo of dftyBi'iioi5(f' friends nt Fort '.JieaHI? rtd'&&$hm$pM .lor th Bpubllca nwalnfttioJa for Joint Senator, and considers hie prospects ex cellent, Mr. Hume has n legislative record which he may will bo proud of, and although Coos may havo goo J tim ber at home, eho cettalnly has nor.o more capable or who would bo a greater credit to Hindi ttlctthan Mr. Humo. i vilKFAIR The Rpubllcana of Uoos county should not for a. moment forget the pre ccpt of fairness and justice in tho com ing striipglo at t he county couveulion. Remember that soup judgements and trranical rulings belong to tho political scavengers of tho past and not to mod ern and decent Republicanism. It standi all honest Republicans in hand to meet nut treat each candidate con siderately. Honestly and tlrmly do your duty. Do not uec deceit j j oil will gain nothing thereby. if you defeat your adversary honestly and fairly, you will have bis support, but if ho ie robbed of bis rights by your unjust methods, you do not' deserve his support. ' HUME'S CHANCES GOOD Hnme'tf chances for the nomination for joint senator are better than any other candidate's in the field today, and 4 i he will be nominated if fair and cquaro methods count. Mr. Humo will not stoop to peanut politics (or any nomina tion, but he openly and above board an nounced his intention to become a can didate, providing tho convention approved of it. Mr. Home will meet his adversary only in tho light of day and there do him battle, but if he ia defeat ed he will take his medicine like a man. There nre some Republicans who nre lamenting tho fact that it Mr. Humo were nominated, ho would get tho full forco of Judge Hamilton's power as n Democratic judge. Such talk is worse ban rot. What do we, as Republican voters, owe to a Democratic judgo? Sorely no Democrat would voto for a Republican under liko circumstances. If R. D. Hume is named for joint sen ator! yon can count on ono of the most aggressive campaigns ever tnadd in Coos county. It should not be overlooked, either, that as he is a strong campaign er, his Democratic friends would only too gladly see him meet with defeat at the hands of tho convention. They concede him to bo the hardest man to beat on tbe entire ticket. TOMORROW TELLS IT Tomorrow tells the story for tho gen tlemen who would like to ece their names appear on tho Republican ticket for county offices. With the exception of the unmeasured abuse that has been heapod upon R. D. Humo, tho prelimi nary skirmieh seems to have been con ducted fairly, nnd whoevor get the nominations can bo supported by all, without taking back much that has bcon said. Bo far e Mr. Humo is concerned, it is an old story with him, td belled about, and he has rlien quite steadily in spito of it. If he get the nomination, bo will undoubtedly conduct an aggressive cam paign and will bo olected. Among the candidates, no ono ia more deeerving of tho honor which will undoubtedly como to him than fitovo Gallier, tho present efficient and accom odating sheriff.
