WELCOME.
Willi I lie arrival of the North
western came a number of the
delegates to the Democratic ter
ritorial convention, to convene in
this city on Friday nexl. Within
the next two or three clays, a del
egation from the Fourth judicial
division will reach hero from
Cordova, as will those from the
westward. This is the llrst ter
irlorial convention to be held in
Valdez, and I lie J>ros|)ector, to
gether with tin* citizens of tin;
metropolis of southwestern Alas
ka, extends to its membership a
hearty welcome, and bespeaks for
them a warm Alaskan reception.
We all rceognizc that at this
time, when so much is in the bal
ance. for our weal or woe, the
Kent leiiicu who compose the
membership of the convention,
will be writing a page in the his
tory of this Northland, which in
a few short months may entirely
change the political conditions
under which we now exist. Should
their deliberations bring forth
such a change, no matter what
it, may be, it will certainly prove
lor the better. Alaska cannoL go
"backward; its movement, musl be
a forward one. Our Democratic
friends are Alaskans, with the
welfare of Alaska at heart, and
no matter how we may differ from
them in our views as t<> what is
best for us all, wo cannot help
hut credit them with being ani
mated with a spirit of good and
a desire to do right as the light
is given them. Again, we say
to our Democratic brethren, you
are thrice welcome.
