SO SAYS MAYOR SHEA ANENT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Mayor Shea returned from Ketkhikan on the Humboldt
this morning. He gives anything but an enthusiastic des
cription of the work of that gathering. Mayor Shea says
the whole proceeding lookedlike a job ? start to finish ? and
as a result no one came out of the engagement with much
credit. As for himself, Mayor Shea declares he was Jobbed.
He was induced to give up his credentials at a time he
thought there was to be harmony and when he discovered
there was to be a split, found himself bound by this action.
He had declared to the local convention that sent him, he
says, that he would not bolt. When the bolt ensued he
announced his intention of remaining and was the only one
of thu disaffected who remained. He stated his case to the
convention and was applauded.
