The papers-of .Southeastern Alas
ka, since they succeeded in hound
ing Governor Brady into resigning,
ciaiming'lbwt he way unprogres
sive because be was opposed to ter
ritorial government at this time,
have, with one exception,- been
singularly silent on the question
since Governor Hoggatt has taken
the rmrre stand. It is to he pre
sumed therefore that in securing
both the capital and the governor
Juneau considers the best interests
of thedistrict fully server). If the
lUirst division ia also successful in
August in sendind Marshal Shoup
as delegate to Congress the march
of progress will no doubt be swift
and uninterrupted. The people of
Skagwav, however, and the Alas*
IrtiH of that place, are unalterably
pd edged to a non-partisan conven
tion, territorial government and
Sx-Governor Swineford, and have
opened the campaign by designat
ing all who disagree with them as
tories-and renegades. As-the popu
lation of the district is-, by a- very
lArge majority, of this* class it is
probable tl«U on sober second
thought Skagway will conclude
that tl.e government of a territory
could not be safely trusted in their
bands
^-slde-zdias always had the name
of'dreiirg s wideawake, progressive
ttrmf, b>et it is the only one- of any
importance- in Alaska which has
put forward iro delegate to Oon
gress. Prom the activity displayed
it look as though our politicians
!rad forgotten tin- election in
August.
