THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION.
Considerable interest centers in the Republican territoria
convention, to be held at Seward on April 19, While it i?
generally conceded that Delegate \\ ickersham will receive tin
regular party nomination for re-election, his supporters seri
ously object to any Shackleford tag being tied to him. Then
are also a large number of Republicans throughout Alaska win
have no more love for Shackleford' than the delegate’s friend
have no more love for Shackleford than the delegate’s friends
and they believe that now is the time to eliminate the .luneat
Shackleford, realizing that his political influence was
practically nil, made a desperate play by giving out the in
formation that he and Wiekersham had formed an alliance, am
he was now rifling on the same wagon with the Delegate. By
this trick Shack made a combination with Wick’s supporter?
in the First division, and succeeded in having some of his lieu
tenants elected as delegates to the convention. Some of tin
papers in Southeastern Alaska were evidently taking order?
from Shack, and did some good publicity work .in his behalf
but after the smoke of tlm battle cleared away the .Linear
Dispatch announces in bold headlines: “Wiekersham in eon
trol of the First.’’ Of course lie is, and when his friends lean
the truth they will awaken to the fact that W ickersham can b<
nominated without any support from bis arch-enemy—L. P
Shackleford.
For the past month there have been rumors of an attempt
on the part of Shackleford to make some sort of a deal witl
"Wiekersham, and these reports were not received with favor by
the “Stick to Wick” men. Harry Thisted, who lias been ai
active and persistent supporter of the Delegate, wired him ai
"Washington in reference to these rumors, and he received tin
following reply, which should set it! rest any doubts as to hi?
feeling towards the Juneau boss:
“I have not, and will not, make any combination, politica
or otherwise, with Shackleford.”
Practically the entire delegation from the Third d’ivisioi
is anti-Shackleford. Wiekersham is in absolute control of tin
Fourth division, and has a great many, if not a majority, ol
the delegates from the First. It is believed that the Secom
division will also he anti-Shackleford.
Fader the caption of “He Could Not Hide,” the Ketchi
kan Progressive Miner sayrs:
“According to dispatches from Juneau, the Republican?
have had' a hard time to manage their primary election, dm
solely to the fact that Shackleford could not keep his hand?
off. Anybody can see that lie created the factions and causer
all the trouble. Mr. O’Connor bad a perfect right to act in tin
absence of the regular committeeman, and none knew tlial
better than Shackleford himself.
“As to his accusation of O’Connor and Rustgard of “at
tempting to ruin or rule the party in Alaska,” we are satisfied
that these men could not ruin it. Shackleford did that a lonfi
time since. As to the ‘ruling’ part of it, we can candidly say
that the people have more confidence in the integrity of tliesi
men than they ever will have in other men who have been
ruling the party the hist few years—that is what there wa?
left of it—because these men are jewels and shine like star?
in the political horizon in comparison.”
The Seward Gateway thus comments on Shacklefords
flop to Wiekersham:
j iiere is now, very cieariy, a uig iigm on over me ques
tion of making Mr. Wickersham the candidate of the regular
party. The delegate seems to have crossed the Rubicon and
burned his ships behind him. He has evidently cast in his lot
with the regular Republican party, to sink or swim, and,
mirabile dictu, as the Yukon natives say, his chief supporter
seems to be the man whom one would least expect of ever being
on the side of Wickersham— Louis I*. Shackleford. What are
we coming to, anyway. Taking this fact and the European
and Mexican and Chinese wars into account, we can well be
lieve that this old world has gone topsy turvy.”

There is great need of a modern, up-to-date apartment
house in Cordova, and the person who will erect one will rea
lize good returns on his investment.
It is estimated that more than five hundred people arrived
in Cordova on the steamers from the States during the past
month, and as a great many of them have found employment
here the business of tin* town has picked up considerably.
The Seward 1’ost has ordered a new printing plant, to
take the place of the one recently destroyed' by fire. While tin
loss was considerable, the owners feel that they are justified
in spending more money to protect the business already
built up.
( friend and statesman, John E. Bullaine, who divides
his t between Seward and Seattle, has announced that he
will 1)- candidate for Congress from Washington, on an anti
(ruggenheim platform, whatever that may mean. Bullaine has
frequently hud nightmares, and he is now indulging his great
est one. His candidacy for the House will, of course, not be
taken seriously by anyone but himself.
