WASHINGTON REl'UHLICANH.
Everett, Wash., May IB. The Re
publican state convention today
adopted an emphatic gold plunk and
instructed tho eight delegates for-Mc-Klnlcy.
Tho convention was practic
ally unanimous for the Ohio man
The flnunclul plank consumed more
time than any other matter before
the convention. The gold men had an
overwhelming majority, but did not
choko oil debate, not wishing to
engender bitterness among silver del
egates. However, thcy refused to
compromise, and oven rejected tho
Ohio plunk, which McKlnley himself
Is said to have devised.
The delegates on tho slato formed
a week ago wero elected. A. F. Bur
leigh, receiver of the Northern Pucl
flc railroad and tho leader of the gold
standard forces of the state, will pro
bably bo spokesman of tho delegation

C. Sullivan, of Tacoma, will bo chosen
national committeeman at St. Louis.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the convention, and tho
result wus precisely as had been plan
ned by tho party leaders. Tho plat
form declares aguinst tho A. P. A. In

SAYS JURORS CURSED HIM.
X. N, Steeves Has Something More to
Say Qeforo Going Away,
X. N. Stcovcs has been removed to
Hlllsboro, Washington county, whoro
ho will remain until his second trial
for mauslaughtca will come up. Said
ho before leaving:
"I would much rather bo tried In
Multnomah county than over In
Washington. I would bo tried hero if
I could get u Jury of fair men to hear
the evidence. I would lx willing to
lako a jury or moo who will como to
tho Jury box with their minds fully
mado up against mo and let them
hear the evidence and then let them
decide whether I am guilty or not. I
tuiy their minds may lie mado up
against me, but they must not ho bit
terly prejudiced.
"On tho first trial tho Jury was
lutensley antagonistic to me. Thoro
wero men on that JiirV who siieiit part
or their time In tho Jury-room abusing
mo--actually cursing me, as certain
persons know, Was thut a fair
minded Jury? Could they try mo
fairly and Impartially under such cir
cumstances as tlioc? Jurors wero
overheard ut that trial abusing mo
roundly as if I had done them wuiic
personal Injury. That this feeling
manifested Itsolr was plain to a
spectator at tho trial. Therefore I
say It is Importable to find 12 men lu
this county who could honestly try
my case.
