with Shackleford. The delegate fin
ally came out in an open statement
denying any agreement with Shackle
ford.
In this situation the convention met
at Seward on April 1!). Before that
day messages had been sent to Judge
Wickersham at Washington by Mr.
Russell, and perhaps others, asking
him to state Ills attitude toward Mr.
Shackleford's demand for a monopoly
of federal office control in Alaska
For several days Mr. Shackleford had
publicly proclaimed in Cordova, Val
dez and Seward that Wickersham
could not have the nomination unless
lie would sign the office stipulation.
The convention adjourned several
times to await the answer of the dele
gate. No answer came.
At 10 p. m. tiie convention adjourn
ed sine die without a nomination for
delegate to congress, leaving that tri
vial matter in the nominal custody of
a committee of four, one from each
judicial division, to be determined
hereafter or left in the stock of un
finished business. It remains to he
seen whether any man can he found
beggared enough to accept such a no
mination.
Mr. Shackleford said repeatedly in
substance to anybody and everybody.
"I will not nominate Wickersham un
less he carries out his agreement on
federal patronage." This curious
phrase indicates clearly the entire
convention proceedings. It was Mr.
Shackleford's convention. it per
formed throughout whatever lie said
“I w ill do.”
