The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VOL. VII NO. 2 BARKER - GARFIELD Combination That Won the Presidential Nomination In 1880- Wharton Barker Engineered the Scheme and Landed His Man-Garfield Knew of the Plans Though He Was Supporting John Sherman-Barker's Father Makes Trouble By Innocently Telling Sherman of the Plans. If reports be true Wharton Barker is no novice at politics, in other words, vulgarly speaking, he knows his business. He has been nominated for the vice presidency on the Middle-of-the-road Populist ticket and he says he is going to get a million and a half votes. He figured one time in Republican politics as may be seen from the following report of which Barker himself quite approves of: Wharton Barker of Pennsylvania, the Presidential candidate of the middle-of-the-road Populists, claims to have been the organizer of the campaign which made General Garfield the Republican candidate for president in 1880, and he says that the campaign began in 1879, a year before the convention, and that Garfield was a party to the movement from the beginning, notwithstanding his position in the convention as the manager of Senator John Sherman's campaign. Mr. Barker's account of Garfield's nomination, which he asserts is the true history of that remarkable convention and nomination, is given in the following interview: "I began work in the fall of 1879 on my plan to have General Garfield nominated by the Republicans at Chicago in 1880," he said. "I saw that the fight was going to be a terrible and fruitless one between the forces of General Grant and the late James G. Blaine, and that the convention would be overrun with favorite sons from different states. Thus anticipating a deadlock, I believed that a dark horse could win, and I communicated my belief to General Garfield. He thanked me for my interest and readily agreed to whatever plan I could put into operation for his benefit. I communicated with many men throughout the country and found considerable sympathy with my project. In the spring of 1880 the fight between the forces of Grant and Blaine had grown still more bitter, and everything had worked smoothly toward the selection of General Garfield. "Among those quietly in favor of General Garfield at that time was President Hayes himself. I have two letters from him showing this. I soon ascertained that there would be a break in the Pennsylvania delegation; that it would not regard as binding the unit rule instructions secured from the Pennsylvania state convention by Senator Cameron, and at the proper time there would also be a break in the New York delegation "One thing that bothered me a great deal was how to get the name of General Garfield before the convention. Among the delegates to the convention, however, were a banker named Greer, one of my correspondents in Pennsylvania, and Caleb Taylor, at that time a Representative from Pennsylvania. Greer agreed to quietly vote for Garfield on every ballot from the first one he cast, and Taylor to spasmodically vote for Garfield. This gives the history of the one vote, and at times two votes, received by General Garfield. "About the time that everything was satisfactorily arranged John Sherman, who was then Secretary of the Treasury, went to Philadelphia to make a speech before the stock exchange. He became the guest of my father, and inquired of my father if there was anything interesting in politics. My father, without thinking of the trouble that might be made, stated that everything had been arranged for springing the name of Garfield on the Chicago convention and securing the nomination. I happened to be in Washington that day. Early the next morning I received an imperative note from General Garfield to call at once at his home. I went there immediately, and was met at the door by General Garfield himself. 'The fat's in the fire,' was the first thing he said to me when the door was opened, and I knew at once that something unusual had happened. 'Sherman has heard the whole thing,' said Garfield, 'and came to my house at I o'clock this morning to ask me about it. He requested me to make the speech nominating him at the Chicago convention, and I promised that I would do so.' "I saw at once that there had been a blunder, and I told General Garfield to go ahead and loyally support Secretary Sherman. also informed him that I did not expect to speak to him again about the matter or to see him in any way, but that I would go ahead in my own fashion and carry out the programme I had outlined. From that day until the convention I did not speak to General Garfield, and he was not at all cognizant of the work that was done in his behalf. "When the convention rolled around it was apparent to all those present that neither Grant nor Blaine could be nominated and that a break would come sooner or later. I began work with the Wisconsin delegation, a member of which was Henry C. Payne, now the national commiteeman from that state. They agreed that when they saw that there was no chance for Blaine they would break on the end of a ballot and support Garfield. I next saw A. D. Straight of Indiana. He conferred with Benjamin Harrison and they agreed that at the proper time they would also break for Garfield. I was to let them know when the time had arrived. When this had all been arranged the question was to get Garfield before the convention to make a speech of some kind. I saw Garfield and told him that when a suitable opportunity arose for a speech I would arise and give him a certain signal that I desired him to respond to by making the best speech in his power. This opportunity came after Conkling's famous speech in the convention. Conkling had to be responded to by somebody and I had confidence that Garfield was the man who could do it. I gave him the signal. He was recognized by Senator Hoar, who was presiding, and made the speech which brought him still more popularity than he had before. His speech literally wiped Conkling off his feet. "The balloting continued from Wednesday until Saturday without change. The time had arrived to spring the final effort for Garfield. I got on the train and came to Washington at once, reaching here Sunday afternoon. I went immediately to President Hayes and told him that Secretary Sherman must withdraw his name from the convention. President Hayes said he did not know whether he could get Sherman to do so, but he would send for Car SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1900. Schurz, who could probably accomplish the work. Schurz went to see Secretary Sherman and before midnight Sherman had promised to withdraw his name "He did so by telegraph that night. I then telegraphed to all of Garfield's friends and sent word to the Ohio delegation that on the third or fourth ballot on Monday morning they should vote for Garfield right after Indiana had voted for him. The remainder is history. Wisconsin followed the plan I had made; so did Indiana. When Ohio cast its vote for Garfield the convention went to him with a rush. "In the summer I was called to Russia on business, and on my way back to this country stopped in Paris for a few days. There I met the late Senator Morrill. He told me that Hancock would beat Garfield sure; that he saw no way of preventing the defeat of the Republicans. He said that he had received news that Maine had just gone Democratic in the September election for the first time in many years, and that everything was in confusion. I hastened back to the United States as quickly as possible and went to Garfield's home in Mentor. I told him that he must at once put a stop to the bloody shirt campaign which was waging and that he must send for Conkleing, Blaine, and others and endeavor to have them fall heartily in line with the party. He did so, and from late in September until November the Republicans made the shortest and most victorious campaign ever known to any party." --- The eleventh anniversary of the great Seattle fire, which occurred June 6th, was observed by Seattle folk last Wednesday. This fire, which swept away sixty acres of well built city before it was finally subdued, was started from the overturning of a glue pot in a building in the heart of the city. Out of that fire came the sphinx that directed the destinies of the city in such a manner as to soon make it the leading city of the Northwest, and today Seattle is the center of the world's attraction. Herr Schmidt, the popular Hotel Butler proprietor, has ordered an automobile and is expecting the same to the city every day. Here is one Seattle man that fared well from the rush to the North. The Anti-Saloon League has held its annual state meeting in this city during the past week. Some of the ablest temperance workers in the Northwest were present and some very able discussions of the temperance questions were heard. The address of ex-Governor Knapp and Rev Randall were especially noteworthy. The old pioneers of the state held their annual re-union in this city last Tuesday, and reported a most pleasant meet. Many of their number had crossed the "dark river" since last they were assembled. The pleasantness of the meeting was to some extent marred by the report of W. H. Cowie, also an old pioneer, having dropped dead on a street car as he was going home in South Seattle the evening before they met. --- Preparations for the Fourth of July celebration is going steadily on, so reports Chairman Moore. Many new features over past years are promised for the coming celebration, one of which will be the representation of the new possessions the United States has come into by suitable characters. UPS AND DOWNS Of Life Hero and There-Cuba Loses Many Thousand Dollars Through Neeley-British in Pretoria-Texas Negro Giant-Big Price for Leung's Head-Oregon Rolls Up Republican Majority-Washington City Has a Social War-Paderewski Makes Money-Lady Lassoes Lion-Lady Lawyer Leads. Cuba's loss through the Neeley revenue frauds in the neighborhood of $400,000. It seems that Neeley appropriated half of everything that he collected to his own use. He is now in a New York prison and his lawyers are fighting his extradition to Cuba for trial. Texas' Negro Giant. Lewis Yett, a coal black Negro, is the most noted man in all Texas for manly strength and human endurance. He is 30 years of age and weighs 300 pounds. He can take a full kg of beer and throw it up in the air with one hand and catch it in the other. He can take up a barrel of whiskey and drink out of the bung. He can take up a railroad bar of iron in each hand and walk ten steps with them. He can lift a dining table with a man sitting on it with his teeth. Yett is afraid of no living being save his 90 pound wife, who can boss him about like a private at a drill. He is a perfect specimen of humanity and is the idol of the entire community where he lives. Wants His Head. The Empress Dowager of China has offered the sum of $65,000 to any one who will deliver up to her Leung Chi-tso or give her definite proof of having killed him. Leung is a reformer and is now in Hawaii, where he keeps a heavy body guard for his protection at all times. He has sown the seeds of discord in the Chinese empire that will eventually ripen into a revolution, overturning the present form of government in China. He fled the country to save his life. Oregon Republican Still Last Tuesday mornings Associate Press dispatches brought glad tidings to the hearts of all Republicans, for it announced the fact that the first gun in the present presidential campaign had been fired, and Oregon was still in the Republican column of the land. The state of Oregon, which held its regular bienal election last Monday, has been singularly successful this year in the election of its Republican nominees. The state legislature, which elects a United States senator, is Republican by a good working majority. Both Republican congressmen were overwhelmingly re-elected. Truly is this Republican year. Official Social War A social war has broken out in Washington society between Mrs. Secretary John Hay and Mrs. David Jayne Hill, whose husband is the First Assistant Secretary. The two leading society ladies do not even exchange courtesies, and they have managed to enlist many of the leading society women of the city on one side or the other. The origin of the "society war" is that Mr. D. J. Hill is aspiring to be secretary of state in case President McKinley is re-elected. Most people, who read of this peculiar war, are much inclined to think both Mrs. Hay and likewise Mrs. Hill are social nuisances as well as political snobs, and the United States government could get along very well if both of them were lost in the battle. Paderewski's Piano Playing. Ignace J. Paderewski, the noted Polish pianist, has made four tours through this country and, it is conservatively estimated that he has taken a round million dollars of American money away with him to his home. His recent tour of this country netted him in round numbers $200,000. The gross earnings were $260,000. He is now in London and is resting for the most part from active playings, although he occasionally plays at a concert, for which he gets $60 per minute. He played two selections at a private concert at the home of William Waldorf Astor, for which he received as compensation $5,000. He is a hard worker and practices on his piano from four to five hours daily. He has been twice married and his last wife has no music in her. His chateau in Switzerland is a most exquisite home. Girl Lassoes a Lion. Recently, Norma Diorn, a young woman of Marble Falls, Texas, lassoed a full grown mountain lion, which she ran onto while riding around her fathers ranch, and dragged him home. It was a daring feat and one that many an old scar worn hunter would not have had the heart to have tried. She has been presented with a gold mounted revolver and the finest side saddle that could be found in the Mexican Capital by the Cattle Association for the daring deed. Lovely Lady Lawyer. Miss Nelle Peninah Sparks Noble of Des Moines, Iowa, carried off the honors at the commencement exercises of the Iowa College of Law, Drake University at Des Moines last week. Miss Noble has just completed the two years' course of the law school, and has been admitted to the bar, after passing examination by the Iowa Supreme court. Two years ago she received her bachelor's degree from Drake University. The law school each year presents as a prize for the best thesis of some member of the graduating class $225 worth of law books. The faculty submits the subject upon which the thesis are written. This year the students wrote on the defense of a purchaser from a trust, and whether the fact that a vendor is a member of a trust or illegal combination is a sufficient defense for the purchaser. Miss Noble was the winner of the prize this year. British in Pretoria. After many weary weeks and months, after the loss of many human lives and the expenditure and loss of many million dollars, and after many heartaches on the part of those at home, the English army has finally entered the Boer capital Pretoria, which practically ends the South African war. This war has, perhaps, cost England more in every respect than any war in which she has engaged for the past two centuries. In the harvest of 1899 there were 1,265,601,664 gallons of wine produced in France; 776,107,500 gallons produced in Italy; 594,393,750 gallons produced in Spain and 158,505,000 produced in Roumania. The total production of the old world is estimated at 3,388,101,704. Can't you spare two two bit pieces for THE REPUBLICAN until January? Put it in a letter and mail it to us.

Governor Frink. The situation in China is rather serious. Oregon has glorious news for William Jennings Bryan. Oregon's congressional Tongue will wag right straight on. Piper-Humes combine is suffering from a bad Bee sting. There is no denying the fact but that the Bee was a bird. We beg to introduce Corporation Counsel Humphrey of Seattle, to Judge Gilbert F. Little of Hawaii. That Fifth ward Greenleaf suddenly changed to a very red leaf when things warmed up last Monday evening. Get you ready, honey, for the Fourth of July parade, for it promises to be a warm, warm baby. Seattle knows how to do things bang up. Finding Aguinaldo's diary may to some extent be an amusing find, but it is Aguinaldo's scalp and not his diary that Uncle Sam wants to find at this writing. "Cuba Libre" is having its second reading, and Maximo Gomez says it must be distinctly heard by that gentleman, who bears the euphonious title of "Uncle Sam." Oregon went Republican hell bent for lection in spite of Harvey Scott and his Oregonian. Republicans are not in the experimenting business this year, thank you, Mr. Scott. Scattering First ward bums throughout the Seattle voting precincts to carry the various primary elections in Tom Humes favor is a new idea for the Queen City. Who said George Piper was not a genius? This country may owe the Filipino a good deal, but, in our opinion, the paramount thing it owes him is a good sound thrashing. That paid and the other things would follow on without much delay. Sallie, the Egg-Woman, a story true to live, from the pen of the associate editor of THE REPUBLICAN, which appeared in the Post-Intelligence last Sunday morning, has been very favorable commented on during the past week. "I am disgusted with hearing sensible men and newspaper men at that, speak of Memorial Day as Decoration Day. The day is designated as a day tor memorial services to be held in honor of our distinguished dead, and most of us take advantage of the occasion and decorate on Memorial Day."—Judge Langley. According to the Inter Ocean the Methodist General Conference, after two days turmoil and argument, finally dodged the amusement question. The amusement question is a question that should not be dodged, and, if it is not right for the members of the Methodist church to attend theatres and the like, then those members that do attend should be dropped from the church rolls, though, we must admit, such would mean the dropping of quite a heavy per cent of the membership of the present day and time. The question should be settled one way or the other. --- Say, Mr. Country Town Man, notwithstanding the fact that your town is going to have something of a celebration, if you really want a jolly good time, such as you read about, come to Seattle and spend the Fourth with us and you will have a ton of fun. No one in Seattle doubts for a single minute but that this city has been infested during the past week with some of the most Odd Fellows that the city has seen during all the Dawson City and Nome rushes. They, however, have been made mighty welcome here, their odity to the contrary notwithstanding. It does begin to look as though General Harmony among politicians in King county has been sent out on a scouting tour and will not return before next December or even latter, but since the same is as true of the Democratic party as the Republican there is no use of feeling very bad over the matter. Candidate Bryan has bought him a country home three miles from Lincoln, Nebraska, on which to rest, so he gives it out. When he will have been defeated a second time for the presidency he will find the farm a very good thing on which to root for a living instead of rest from globe trottening for office. And the county central committee is a Piper-Humes-Ankeny machine is it? Not satisfied with buying the legislative delegation from King county the old banker, who is crazy to go to the United States senate, seems to have also bought a part of the members of the county central committee of King. Money makes the mare go. One reason why Seattle has already enumerated the Alaskians in her population is because all of the Alaskians claim Seattle as their home, while they are temporarily away in Alaska. For the most part their families are living here. Tacoma should not count a single one of them, for the Tacoma route to Alaska is quite an unknown one to the general public. It would appear th at Grafter Chadwick of the Seattle Argus has made up his mind to not even overlook the "niggers" of this city, and he proposes to blackmail those of them holding small offices, into giving him hush money just the same as though they were "white men." Evidently grafting has no respect of persons when it begins to operate for blood money. Greater New York's Democratic mayor is enough mixed up in a municipal scandal to be now threatened with removal from office by the governor of New York state. Yes, yes, all the same Democratic mayor of Seattle, and all other places where there happen to be a Democratic mayor Such is strange, yet as true as there is ever a Democratic mayor or any other kind of official elected. The reports from Spokane over the primary election held there would seem to indicate that Levi Ankeny has been badly beaten again, despite the thousands of dollars he put in the county for the purpose of having it endorse Judge Moore's gubernatorial candidacy. The Wilson forces won in every ward and precinct in the county and Spokane is wild with rejoicings. What an amount of devil that dead man Wilson is continuing to turn up. And now the Boers threatened to worry England with guerrilla war such as the Filipinos are harassing the Americans with at present. Well, Uncle Paul, you would show your good sense by discouraging your followers from doing any such thing, for it only means death and final annihilation to them, while you will "trek" off to some other land and live in ease and happiness off the wealth you have accumulated from their labors. The University of Washington has had a great run during the past scholastic year, and the very quintessence of happiness could be seen on the faces of each of the students as they were preparing to leave for their respective homes. Good and successful work always bring happy hearts. Neely, of Cuban postoffice fame is a pretty well advertised man now, and should he escape punishment on the extradition dodge, then he is advertised quite well enough to go into either the show business or the dry goods business, where sympathetic women could call and leave their financial condolence for the trouble that has been forced upon him by the government authorities, "the nasty old mean men." From official sources it is learned that a bountiful harvest is at hand for the United States and especially the Northwest. With a bountiful harvest in hand, as will follow a bountiful harvest at hand, and with a demanding market for the ample disposal of that harvest, the farmers must be the happiest class of citizens in the United States. After all, it is the man who delves and digs the soil that is the real prince of the land. Fred H. Lysons flatly failed in his attempt to be the whole Republican party of King county, and, in spite of him, fair play was the order of the day during the sittings of the county central committee last Wednesday. South Carolina or Mississippi Democracy never made a bolder or more nefarious attempt to steal an election than did Secretary Lysons and Chairman Knickerbocker, but, they didn't, and thereby hangs a tale. What in the deuce and Tom Walker does Prof. F. C. Weed know about journalism that he can instruct others of it through the columns of the Tacoma News? As soon as some men succeed in making a failure in every thing else they undertake, then they take up journalism in some form or manner to further impose on the general public. Prof. Weed might make a darn sight better out in giving instructions in jingoism instead of journalism. President McKinley has recently named as fourth circuit judge of Hawaii Gilbert F. Little, a man well known in this city. Some of the men, who hounded Little out of the city and then followed him across the waters to Hawaii and there hounded him from pilar to post, even preventing for a time his acquiring a citizenship in Hawaii, must feel like dogs in the face when they see the man has succeeded in spite of their vile attacks. They pretended that they would go to Washington City and protest against his appointment, but that would cost them a dollar and they are never there when a dollar is to be paid out, but always on hand when old "shoot off" can be let out without cost. Side Issue Guie with his little club does not seem to be cutting very much ice in the gubernatorial situation in King county at present. The fight will be between Mr. Frink and Mr. Humes, and everything that Mr. Guie does along the gubernatorial line can only be looked upon as a side show to the Humes-Ankeny combine to run King county politics with the aid of George Piper and a few thousand dollars. It was hinted two years ago that Mr. Ankeny had Mr. Humes under salary to be a side issue to him in the senatorial fight, and it may be that he has now placed Mr. Guie under a similar salary to play side issue to both himself and Tom Humes, Mr. Ankeny footing the bills for both Humes and Guie. When Mr. Ankeny is wiser there is no doubts but that he will also be a good deal poorer, though he may still be able to keep the wolf from the door as to actual necessities, after he has been defeated at the last bridge, which he will be. ```markdown ``` The Seattle Republican Wants 5,000 New Subscribers for the Coming Political CAMPAIGN.

Also speak a good word for THE REPUBLICAN. Political Pot-Pie. “Say, landlord, what kind of game is that being played all over town, where one fellow hollos, keno and the other fellows says, ‘oh hell,’ innocently asked an Eastern tenderfoot in a Montana town, The tenderfoot afterwards himself learned how to say “hell” just the same as the other fel'ows, and in the very same spirit. Now there isa “thing” loose in this city, that is shouting on every street corner,, “Humes must be the next governor of this state,” and, invariably, when he says it toa crowd, he gets, “oh, hell.” oon “Tam for some Olympia man for governor of this state. Ido not care who that man is just so he is a thorough Republican,” came from Mr. Dexter Horton, the old millionaire pioneer of Seattle, one day this week. “Seattle wants: a member of congress, and, if she ean not get that, she does not need anything. Had it not been for “our present beloved mayor”, Seattle would now have a United States senator, but his greed for office has caused Seattle to lose many thousand dollars. Such men should be set down on, and, I am willing to see them set down on, even though Seattle does not get the governorship of this state.” me “There was a time when I was for Tom Humes for most any old thing he wanted,” said Mr. Angus W. Young, “but I am now un- equivically in favor of King county endorsing the candidacy of Hon. J.M. Frink for the governorship of the Evergreen state. If he does not carry the Eighth ward it will be no fault of mine, and, I'am of the opinion, that there are a good many others, who in the past have supported Tom Humes, that are of like opinion regarding the candidacy of J. M. Frink. oon “I am not. in Seattle to discuss politics nor anytning bearing on polities,” remarked Hon. 8. G. Cosgrove of Pomeroy one day this week, who isa delegate to the annual Odd Fellows conclave that is being held in the city this week. However, I learn from the Pie- maker that King county is not very unanimous in its choice for a gubernatorial nominee, which fact does not give me very much inward pain, since there are others besides those m King county, who are likewise candidates for the higher honor that Mr. Frink, Mr. Humes and Mr. Guie aspire to capture.” ane “““Let not your heart be troubled,” came from a Fifth ward politician, who is quite next to himself as to the county situation on the guber- natorial question, “for J. M. Frink will carry the next primaries of King county over Tom Humes by not less than two to one, and things are continuing to come Frink’s way. In my opinion Tom Humes will draw out of the race before another month more, but, if he does not, he is all the same beat now. King county wants a busi- ness man to represent her and not a professional politician that has done nanght else since he has been in the state but ask for first one offige and then another. I repeat, never fear, for Frink’s candidacy is a winner.” ome It is said that the Piper-Humes factions are advocating that King county hold its convention some time during the present month or early in July. What either side would gain by such amove is more than the Pie-maker is able a ah en a a ee September, and, it will not be, if the better judgement of the Re- pulse party is considered. |Later tho central committee set the convention for about August 27th. mm Dame Rumor has it that John Wooding is to retire from the shriveslity contest, being thoroughly convinced that his hope of getting the nomination is a forlorn one, The Pie-maker knows nothing of the truthfulness of the allegation, but, it is cer- tainly common street talk at pres- ent, and, in some instances, it is coming from men that have decided to support Mr. Wooding. If, however, he has not withdrawn and does not contemplate doing so he had better make that fact known through the columns of the public press, or he will find that he will be out of it, oom “Let it be distinctly understood that the Review is for simon pure Democracy without any kind of “isms whatever attached” thereto asarider, said Editor Church of the Seattle Review. “I did not go into the Hart fight for any per- sonal reason or revenge, but because the opposition to Hart in the Democratic party in this county was loaded down with single taxism, which is not Demo- cracy. My paper 1s supported by my own individual push and pul- and by no means by any one’s personal contributions whether such person be Democrat or Re- publican.” me When the McKinley Club will have had its ratification and the bill for the same reaches Banker Ankeny in his Walla Walla sanctum, he will declare that George Piper is the hottest finan- cial tamollie that has ever come his way. “The extra expenses that George has incurred to prevent the King county Republican Club from ratifying the nomination of Mr. McKinley in the Armory hall, in due season will make Mrs. Ankeny wish that she had never started out to make her husband United States senator, for, if it keeps up at. that rate, by the time the real contest comes off it will have cost Mrs. Ankeny fully a million dollars, and then she may lose the game. me It is claimed that Spokane is the banner Republican county in the state, owing to the fact that within the past sixteen years, it has always given a large Republi- can majority with the bare ex- ceptions of 1896, when the “free silver” craze comple'cly swamped the entire West. Spokane county is to hold its next Republican con- vention June 8th, which will be the first gun of the state campaign to be fired. In most instances perfect harmony reigns supreme in the party and the most of the offices will be nominated by accla- mation. Judge Moore hopes to be endorsed by the county conyen- tion for the governorship of the state, but, itis thought, that the convention will take no such steps which will blast Judge Moore's gubernatorial ambitions. ae Billy Potts withdrew from the clerkship fight, but declared that he wanted the central committee- manship of the Fifth ward made vacant by the death of Mr. Am- brose, providing the Fifth ward would endorse him. A secret meeting was called for that pur- pose last Saturday evening, but there were others in the ward who did not take kindly to Billy’s Oaae Rumor has it that there is a certain newspaper proposition published not more than sixteen miles from Seattle, that is rapidly drifting off into the “grafting game.” “Its alright,” said a prom- inent politician one day this week, “for a newspaper to do legitimate grafting, but, when the newspaper gets its price, it ought to stay bought. A few weeks ago tha paper was a red hot Frink propo sition and was whooping it up fo: the King County Republican Clat like a house of fire, now itis straight Humes proposition an¢ fighting the very man that it help ed to bring out for the governor ship. Its apology for first sup porting Senator Frink and like wise its apology for being in the Humes camp may both be expected in the coming issue this week. I some one whistles the Pie-make will name the paper. . ae “Poor Bob Nash,” has beer frequently repeated, since his recent unexpected death. For many years Bob Nash has been @ prominent Republican worker in the Fifth ward and he had a host of friends there. He suddenly dieda few days ago and his old comrades turned out in mass t pay a last respect to his memory and labors. The fourth precinet delegation of the Fifth ward for a number of years has invariably contained the name of Rober Nash, and had he not died so early in life it is more than likely that it would have endorsed him for still higher honors. ao “T do not want to line up on the gubernatorial question. I do not see what the county offices have to do with the gubernatorial fight, and it is not fair to make the fellows desiring county nomina- tions break with their friends in many instances, because they do not line up on the gubernatorial situation,” is frequently heard among the aspiring county politi cians these days. It is, to say the least, an unfortunate as well as awkward situation, yet it. is true, and, in the opinion of the Pie maker, from the largest and most influential county office to the smallest and most insignificant Misy will havolts line up for the governorship before a nominatior will be secured. Ome Are you a candidate? Then, who knows that besides your dear little self? If you have a light the Good Book has taught you to not hide it under a half bushel, but put it ona hill top where all may see it, oo Tue Rervsiican will be sent to your address until next Janu- ary for the small sum of fifty cents. Being the most reliable source from which to get your political information it would be greatly to your advantage to send the price of a subscription to the office at once. noo “Circumstances of which I need now repeat forced me into the Humes camp for the past few years, but, in the coming cam- paign, Iam for the endorsement of J. M. Frink by the King county convention for the governorship,” came from Mr. W. T. Willis, one of the heavy property holders of the Fifth ward. “The man who can work himself up to the top in business as hus Mr. Frink, start- ing, as I know, from practically nothing, is deserving of the sup- port of every good citizen. Mr Humes may be a good man, but he is a professional politician and knows nothing about practical business, and, it is very apparent that should he ever be elected governor of this state he would run the office as a political ma: chine, overlooking the business side of it entirely. I am fot Frink first, last and all the time.’ ooo Pa Aierannbal Seeekene a tha ‘The disgraceful meeting in the Fifth ward to endorse a man for the consideration of the county central committee to fill the vacancy made by the death of A. 'T. Ambrose, was the most dis- graceful affair that has occurred in King county for a good long time. The Humes people made up largely of imported First ward bums were out in large numbers toendorse Mullen, regardless of what the Fifth warders them- selves actually wanted. Those Fifth ward bums were aided by Fifth ward blatant mouth clap- trap)” politicians whose. political Sense seem to run outof their bodies at the wrong end, and these boldly announced “un- less the Fifth ward endorsed some man that was favorable to the candidacy of Tom Humes the present county central committee would not seat him.” Pandemo- nium reigned supreme from the time the meeting was called to order until it broke up when the First ward bums and their Fifth ward claquers declared that Mul- Jen has been endorsed over Eames by one majority. me The Republicans of King county are pretty thoroughly aroused over the proposition that they are tobe dictated to by the likes of George Piper, backed with thou- sands of dollars sent in by the Walla Walla banker. The feeling is simply intense aud it seems pretty well understood that they do not propose to submit to any such high handedness, even if they have to take the bull by the horns to prevent it. Political harmony between the two factions in the city is simply out of the question, and only a straight out fair and square fight will settle the matter. moo The Fifth ward meeting last Monday evening isa fair sample of how the Piper-Humes combine have decided upon to control the next county convention. Bums from the First ward are to be sta- tioned all over the city to defeat the will of the voters in the various precincts. In other words, those bums are to be colonized here and there for the express purpose of carrying the various primaries in the interest of Tom Humes. it is reported and re- ported on very good authority that already the Piper-Humes- Ankeny combination has began to place men in the various lodging houses here aud there and all over thecity to be ready for the pri- maries. This man Mallen, who it is claimed was endorsed for the central committeemanship, usually keeps -his house filled up with voting cattle during primary election times, who vote as he directs, and he always directs them to the man who has the most money. oes “Realizing the power of the “press” most of the leading poli- tisians of the state, who aspire for high honors are either buying a newspaper plant outright or get- ting the controlling interest in one. Levi Ankeny now controls the destinies of the Walla Walla Union, the Spokesman-Review, the Tacoma Ledger and the Olym- pian, all daily propositions besides numerous weekly papers through- out the state. Senator John L. Wilson controls the destinies of the Post-Intelligencer. _ Gover. nor John Rogers now directs the. destinies of the Walla Walla Statesman, the Seattle Daily Times (politically) and perhaps the Tacoma News. It will be readily seen from the above that the politicians are beginning to give the saloon gang up and seek the newspapers for political influ- ence and success.

From the Bee it is learned that Mrs. Con A. Rideout had quite a time in her travels from South Africa. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Sheets of Roslyn a bouncing ten pound boy. Mrs. Sheets is in Tacoma with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John N. Conna. Colored barbers are much in demand in the city at present. The scarcity in barbers arises from the fact that many of them have gone to Nome. Mrs. Jessie Moore Brown of Newcastle spent a few days in the city this week, returning home last Wednesday. She had her little sister with her. "This is the only Afro-American paper published on the Sound."—Seattle Bee. Is that true? Well, my dear sir, we labored under the opinion that you were publishing a newspaper. Mrs. Smith, the lady whom the daily papers had considerable to say about last week, is much improved in health and is now staying with a friend until she is able to leave for the North. The Seattle Bee published a full account of the forming of a Baptist association among the colored Baptists of the state at Newcastle, which was very commendable to all concerned. Politics are warming up pretty rapidly these days, but not many of the Afro-Americans of the city are doing anything along that line. They hate Humes, and will do all they can to defeat him. Quite a colored colony has sailed for Nome this year, and before the season will have closed not less than 500 Negroes will be in Nome with equally as many in Dawson City. The icebergs of the North no longer have terrors for the black man. Many of the boys on the school ship Adams are deserting. The ship life has become irksome to many of them and, it is reported, that they contemplate deserting in wholesale lots. It was on the Adams that Chester Dixon of this city enlisted. Ex-Governor John H. McGraw sailed for Nome last Sunday, where he will act as U. S. court commissioner. Owing to the numerous litigations that will take place over the claims at Nome Mr. McGraw should manage to make the best salary for the next two years that he ever made in his life. Mr. John H Ryan, one of Spokan's well known Afro-Americans, who has been more or less prominent in political affairs of Spokane county, at one time holding a deputyship in the county treasurer's office, is visiting in the Queen City with an eye sing'e to locating here. Mr. Ryan's brother was twice selected as door keeper of the state senate. The A. F. and A. Ms. are to be congratulated on the way they laid to rest one of their number, Mr. Booker Jones, who recently died at Newcastle after a long protracted illness. Mr. Jones has been at either Franklin or Newcastle every since the colored miners were first brought out to this country by T. B Corey, and he was considered one of the reliable men of the camp. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. The interest being evidenced in the engagement of Mr. N. C. Goodwin and Miss Maxine Elliott at the Seattle Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday is unprecedented, and the desire to witness their delightful play, "When We Were Twenty One" appears unanimous. The engagement of these two brilliant artists will unquestionably prove the event of the season. Their latest success tells a story that wins immediate sympathy, and introduces characters and situations that besides being original, are new to the stage. THIRD AVENUE THEATER. "A Spring Chicken," a sparkling farce comedy under the able management of Messrs. Jordan and Mahara, will be presented at Third Avenue Theatre on Sunday June 10th. Those that are in search of a good laugh have only got to see the above farce and they will have plenty of cause to laugh and laugh heartily during the progress of the play. The lines are said to be exceedingly clever, and up-to-date specialties and catchy music are introduced in great profusion. The names of a lot of the merrymakers are well known to the theatre-going public, and include those of Rose Sutherland, Bert Flatt Mabel, Casedy and a lot of others. The piece is of a rollicking order and those that wish to enjoy a pleasant evening should not miss this opportunity.
