The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN historical society VOL. VII NO. 3 PERTINENT POINTS Concerning the Machanism of our General Government—Republicans Take Democracy to Task about Much it Has Said and Done in the Recent Past—Some of the Good Results Brought About by Republicanism Having Charge of the Government—Bryanism Not Wanted. Tammany will probably be permitted to furnish the ice for the Kansas City convention. The Democratic party has twice been tried and twice been found wanting by the present generation of voters of the country. It should hardly hope to be trusted again. The foreign vessels sailing from the ports of the United States for Europe during last year carried 98.70 per cent of the exports of the United States. The railroads of the United States, the world's greatest commercial arteries, are expanding in touch with public sentiment These great organizations do not respond to false alarms. A Democratic candidate for the presidency one time remarked that the tariff was a local question, and a good many Democratic managers now feel that silver is also a local affair. The Democrats are more interested in finding a question that will serve their purpose during the campaign than in advancing any positive policy of government. With them it is "anything to get there." It is understood that the first measure to be considered by the Senate of the United States when it meets for the short session in December next, will be the Frye ship subsidy bill. Its passage is assured. Deposits in Kansas banks were as follows at the given dates: Sept. 1, 1892.....$20,143,884 Dec. 19, 1896.....14,553,533 Dec. 2, 1899.....26,044,086 No wonder Kansas is going Republican this year. It is gradually dawning on the Democratic platform makers that a shell tipped with present prosperity is able to pierce the heaviest piece of silverized armor plate ever forged in the furnace of adversity. The Democratic politician will not mind the prolongation of the war in South Africa as long as he thinks he can utilize it to party advantage by misrepresenting the real attitude of the president in the matter. Supplying our colonies with eggs is one of the benefits to farmers of the expansion policy. Last year we exported 3,700,000 dozen eggs, as compared with only 151,000 dozen in 1895. Lay on, O Hen! American woolen goods are beginning to reach the markets of the world, under a tariff that protects the farmer's wool clip. Last year we exported over a million dollars' worth of American woolens, and our imports of woolens were a mere trifle compared with those under the Wilson law. Gen. A. J. Warner, president of the bimetalic league, says: "There is sufficient reason for not making silver coinage the chief issue in this campaign." This is true. More gold has been mined since Bryan's defeat, in 1896, than was mined in the first half of the century just ending. Hogs sold in Nebraska at $2.85 per cwt. in 1896. This year they have sold at $4.95. Yet farmers there are to be asked to vote for a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress again, so as to get back to the old $2.85 price. New York bankers have loaned France $15,000,000, and would be pleased to do a little more accommodating in that particular line. There must be prosperity when our bankers are compelled to go away from home in order to find people to loan their money to. The opposition of the foreign shipping interests and their free trade allies to the American ship subsidy bill has had the effect of uniting all friends of American shipping, with the result that the passage of the bill is assured at the short session of the Fifty-sixth Congress. It was under the last Demo eratic Administration and the last free trade tariff that the farmer could exchange his pound of wool for a pound and a half of sugar. But under the McKinley Administration his wool was worth more, while sugar was cheaper, and the pound of wool brings four pounds of sugar. Democratic papers are making a great outcry about the Cuban postal frauds. But they forget to point out that the record of defalcations of government funds shows stealings of $5.17 in every $1,000 under Democratic Administrations, as compared with only 46 cents in every $1,000 under Republican Administrations. The statement has been going the rounds of the press that "Bryan has retired to his farm." This is all done for effect, and to make farmers believe he is one of themselves. As a matter of fact, Bryan's farm has but recently been purchased out of the proceeds acquired from his gas belt. He is green at the plow. Although $800,000,000 have been paid to foreign shipowners during the past four years for doing our foreign carrying, the next four years will be sure to see a great change in favor of American shipping, due to the passage next winter of the shipping bill now upon the Congressional calenders. The fact that but 2.15 per cent of our total trade with Europe is carried in American vessels is but little known throughout the United States. Nor is it known that of this 2.15 per cent 97 per cent is carried in the ships of the American line. No wonder that line has been singled out for the most unprecedented and persistent attack by the foreign steamship lines and their American free trade allies. It was only six months after President McKinley's inauguration that the New York Herald, on September 6, 1897, published a table showing "how the idle army is decreasing." It tabulated the trades to which 157,700 handicraftmen belonged, showing that 26,150 more men had found work within a year, and that 132,350 were employed in 1897, as compared with only 106,200 in 1896. It is safe to say that every one of the 157,700 is at work today, if he wants to be. THE REPUBLICAN, the best political paper in the state, sent anywhere from now until until next January for 50 cents. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1900 BLOODY MURDER Reign King in the Southern States—Men are Lynched By Day and by Night Whether Guilty or Innocent—Lawless Chaos Prevails in Every State in the South—The Negro Confronts a Race in Which Barbarism is Its Principal Makeup.—Poor Example to Set. Last Saturday and Sunday were red letter days for the lynching of Negroes in the South. Chief among them were the shooting of a Negro by Governor Oates of Alabama. It seems that a crazy Negro had by some means gotten into the governor's house and wounded his cook, and when the governor appeared on the scene he deliberately pulled his revolver and shot the crazy Negro dead on the spot. "Served him right," the jury's verdict. A Negro in Hot Springs, Arkansas, was wounded last Saturday and will no doubts be lynched if ever caught. He had wounded a man with whom he had an altercation and when the officers tried to arrest him he led them a bloody chase. From behind trees and lamp posts he defended himself, though he was being pressed by a half dozen or more white men each sending deadly missels from their revolvers at him. Ere the Negro had gotten beyond the city limits and reached the fastness of the mountains he had killed the deputy sheriff and wounded two other men who were taking shots at him for the fun of the things. He finally escaped to the woods where he was being persued by an angry mob with the avowed intention of lynching him as soon as hands were laid on him. While an overseer was trying to chastise a plantation Negro in Louisiana last Friday the overseer lost his life, and as a result the Negro that did the killing was chased for miles into the swamps by an angry mob, with the avowed purpose of lynching him as soon as caught. So far as the report goes, he was not caught and so disconcerted was the mob over its failure to capture its prey, that it returned to the scene of the crime and lynched two other Negroes who did not even know of the transaction. Other Negroes were "regulated" on general principles and for a time pandemonium reigned in that immediate neighborhood. A Negro was found in the residence of a Georgia white farmer, doubtless for the purpose of robbing the house of its valuables, and an outcry was made and the man was caught in the house. He was started to prison, but a mob took him from the officers and lynched him. He was a mere boy and would have been a fit subject for the reform school in any state in this Union where civilization makes any pretense of being observed. Because a little thirteen year old girl was outraged and killed near Biloxi, Mississippi and because the one who committed the crime could not be detected, two innocent Negroes were taken out and lynched and their bodies buried by an intelligent white mob last Sunday. This was a clear case of one Negro, though innocent, having to suffer for the sins of some one else. A feeble attempt was made by the officers of the law to prevent the committing of so awful a crime, but they concluded that they were powerless and the deed was quickly done. The reign of terror that prevailed in St. Louis last Saturday and Sunday is characteristic of the country in which it was committed. Murder, arson and all manner of law breaking are every day occurrences all over the South and St. Louis is like unto New Orleans, Atlanta or any Southern community that kills humanity for a pass time. Perhaps the intelligent (?) white citizens of the South are thoroughly demonstrating to the world that the Negro is totally unfit to be a citizen of this Great Republic, but to persons, who are watching the situation from afar and with unbiased minds, the white citizens are demonstrating the fact that they themselves are more unfit to exercise control over the Negro than the Negro is to share control of the country with the white man. The condition of affairs in the South between the two races is a lamentable one. Evidently the Negro has firmly fixed it into his mind to be a part and parcel of the commonwealth in which he lives in the South, and, evidently, the whites have as firmly fixed it into their minds that the Negro shall not rise one whit bit higher in the scale of civilization than were he in antebellum days, and that if by chance he has made any progress and accidently got near enough to snatch some of the goods of civilization, that shall be taken from him by man force and violence. The bloody lyncher's limb is telling a horrible tale of Southern efforts to keep the "nigger down," and humanity all over the world is being shocked beyond measure at the outrages that are being perpetrated on the Negro, who is in the South in all but as helpless a condition as the missionary would be in the jungles of Africa, where wild beasts of prey and man eating savages hound his footsteps by day and by night. The law offers no more protection to the Negro in the South than were there no law at all. In fact, so far as he is concerned, there is no law, the country is chaos, and he being the weaker element of those living therein is made to bear the white man's burden in the fullest and freest sense of the word. If he protects himself from being lashed as were he when was a chattel, he is lynched by a howling mob; if he goes to law for being robbed by the white man he is given to understand that the Dred Scott decision is still in full force and effect; if he educates himself in spite of opposition on the part of the whites, to them, he at once becomes a dangerous Negro and is either driven out of the country or lynched on general principles. In fact if he aspires to become an American citizen with all the significance that the term bears, he is immediately pronounced to be a dangerous darkey and means to disabuse his mind of such ideas are at once put in operation. Where all this will end is beyond human conception, and, when the probable end is considered, one is compelled to shudder at what may happen even in this enlightened United States. This country has its Boxers, no less nefarious in their crimes as those that are now operating at present in China, and, some day, the world will inquire into the awfulness of the crimes of which the Southern Negro is being made to suffer at the hands of the Caucasian Boxers, just as they are now looking into the deadly work of the Chinese Boxers and preparing to dismember powerful China. MR. RIGGS WRITES From Dawson City and Tells of the Colored Colony in that Land of Ice-All are Doing Well Financially and Will Remain in the North Another Season-Brown of Seattle has Made Good Money-Braxton's Prospects Quite Promising-All Have Paying Positions. Dawson City, May 22, 1900. To THE REPUBLICAN: All of the people (colored) here are in good health except Mrs. L. I. Walker, who has been quite ill for the past six or eight months. Inasmuch as s.e does not improve I learn that she contemplates leaving for the outside at an early date. Mr. Walker is working on a lay with R. R. Brown, which is said to be quite rich. Mr. Brown told me not long since that he had sold his claim for $9,000 and that as soon as he had worked out his lay, which would be some time in September, he intended to come out. William Young, George Gooden (St. Paul) and a Mr. Allen all started for Nome over the ice some time ago. Mr. Burnett, the barber, Mrs. Jeunie Clark, E. J. Terrill, Tom Pierce and Robert Miles are all holding good positions as cooks for mining companies I heard from Joe Braxton and his sister, Mrs. Jones, a few days ago and they were well and expected to make a good clean up this spring, Richard Smallie and a Mr. Harris, who hails from New York, have a very rich claim on Hunker Creek, on which they are both working at present. Mr. Billie Birthright and a Mr. Edington are also doing well here as cooks in houses in this camp. George Smith is doing janitor work and a Mr. Williams, a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, is doing contract work. Billie Wilson is still doing porter work at a saloon. Joe Wilds is likewise doing saloon work. Mr. E. H. Walker will leave for Nome in a few days. Mrs. Daniels is cooking on one of the creeks and doing well. Mr. John Johnson is running the Cape Nome restaurant and doing well. Miss Lillie Taylor is working at a laundry. Thomas Waterford is slated to go to Nome on the first boat out. Mr. and Mrs. Harris, who hails from Seattle, are here and he has work as porter in a saloon. Besides these herein mentioned there are many other colored persons at work in this community that are doing well and will some day come out with considerable money. The colored colony regrets very much that the money made up for THE REPUBLICAN was swiped by the Allen Brothers' Nuggett Express concern, however, another attempt will be made this summer to remember it in a substantial way. Mr. Riggs will be remembered as the colored man, who for a number of years, ran a barbershop near the depot in this city, who went to Dawson City in the rush. For a long time he was quite sick in Dawson and was confined in the hospital for months. Since he got well he has done exceedingly well in the barber business. He writes that his hair has turned almost white since he has been in Dawson City. He does not think of coming out this year. He writes that there is quite a colony of colored folk in and about Dawson City, all of whom are PRICE FIVE CENTS doing quite well. The ice had broken up, when he wrote May 22nd, and the country was putting on its summer clothes. From the tone of his letter none of them save Mrs. Walker is expected to come out this season. There is a dearth of female help on the Pacific Slope at present and those persons, who use help, have been driven to such straits for it as to be compelled to employ Chinese and Japanese men in their households because women can not be had. In early days of the Northwest, that is, soon after the white men had begun to settle up this country and reclaim it from a waste of wilderness, there was a great lack of women for the men that truly wanted wives. Then it was that one of the old pioneers became equal to the emergency and went East and returned with a boat load of women, each of whom found a husband in fairly good circumstances in a few minutes after she had left the river steamer on which she came into the country. Still there was not half enough women to supply the husband demand and so the next year the same old pioneer repeated his Eastern trip and was equally as successful in getting a large number of women to come to the far Northwest and supply the demand for wives. Unlike the Romans the Puget Sound pioneers did not actually steal wives from their neighbors, but they bought them at a very high price in paying the expenses of the man who went East and induced the women to come to the Northwest and marry such men who had tired of single blessedness. It was a rather romantic manner of getting a wife and yet it seems to have worked like a charm, for one could sit all night and listen to the pleasing stories some of those good ladies can now tell of their early experiences in this Northwest among the savages on the one hand and strange husbands on the other. Female Help Wanted. There is a terrible scarcity of women in this section of the country at present, not a scarcity of the kind mentioned above, but a scarcity of women as domestics. If the old pioneers found it profitable to import women into this country in its early history, why would it not be profitable for some man to go South and persuade a few hundred colored females to come to the Northwest and supply a long felt want for house girls. Two hundred, yes three hundred, colored women could find ready employment in Seattle and Tacoma tomorrow, were they here, at wages ranging from $16 to $30 per month. In most of the Southern cities the colored women are not getting over $10 per month for more work than they would be asked to do in any other place save in the South for the sum of $30 per month. Now here is an opportunity for those women to not only better their own condition, but relieve suffering humanity at the same time. Then, again, there are quite a number colored men in this country, who are living in single blessedness, who would willingly change their way of living, were there sufficient lamsels of their own race to choose from, hence more persons besides those wanting help would be benefitted. THE REPUBLICAN is of the opinion that if this matter was properly put before these colored working women they would gladly accept the offer and leave their happy homes for the far West, where big wages and, probably, husbands await them. Many Northern cities in times past have sent South for colored help and it proved quite a success, why not Seattle, Tacoma and the Puget Sound country in general do likewise? The subject is open for discussion so let us hear from you. The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 612 THIRD AVENUE H. R.

Spokane spoke. In your mind, Seattle's Fourth of July. Seattle enjoys Dawson City gold in $500,000 lump lots. King county's Republican factions have refused to fuse. Congress has fallen by the way-side and it is now all quiet along the Potomac. Gold bricks are no objects in Seattle at present, and especially in the assay office. Unless China does something radical instanter her Boxers will find that they are inter-nationally boxed. News in a nutshell is a characteristic of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, which we know you greatly appreciate. New York witnessed a miniature school race war not long since, which has been taken to the courts for adjudication. The worm has turned, for the Oregon blackmailer has been given an awful dose of his own medicine by a blackmale. Washington state Republicans have practically endorsed Hon. J. M. Frink, King county's choice for governor, for that honor. A "Building permit" is the article most sought for in Seattle at present, which has a close second in "building material." It would appear that Honest Tom Humes has honestly reached the end of his political rope. If so humanity must feel much relieved. It is estimated that the Transvaal mining machinery is worth $47,000,000. No wonder your Uncle Paul forged like grim death to hold on to it. Every newspaper in King county has deserted the Piper-Humes-Ankeny combine, and the voters are fast following in the wake of the newspapers. Speculators are doing considerable drilling for coal in Jefferson county at present. Drilling for office catches the speculators in Seattle at present. In the past, we must admit, William Jennings Bryan has been a hot political tomalie, but he seems to have been undergoing a great cooling off process. Sunnyside irrigation glories are to be revived and the dream of Paul Shultze's life is to be realized by a new company recently formed to perfect the old man's plans. Congratulations are in order for the Puyallup Chronicle, which has just issued a mid-summer industrial number concerning that thriving little city of the valley. It will take pretty nearly $200,000 to put the streets of Seattle in the heavy traveled districts in a durable condition, such as they are in other large and populous cities. Sunday's Post-Intelligencer contains a story from the pen of Susie Revels Cayton, associate editor of the SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. Mrs. Cayton is a writer of force and ability, and she is making a decidedly favorable impression on the readers of her contributions to the literature of the day.—Sidney Independent. --- Ere we greet you again William McKinley will have been renominated for the presidency of the United States and again selected as the advance agent of continued prosperity. Coming: Convention of Republican Clubs of this state to Seattle June 22nd, at which time the McKinley ratification will be held, and a hot time in the old town can be looked for. The political orphanage of Grover Cleveland is rather pitiable, but who but Cleveland himself is responsible for his orphanage. Whatsoever you sow that will you reap. Everett has a few Democrats that are advocating the nomination of candidates for county offices at the primaries, but it is too raw for Northern Democrats, too much, "all the same Mississippi." We doubt the advisability of electing any man to the governorship of this or any other state, who boastingly announces from a public platform, that he had never seen inside of a church house. Last Friday the Seattle Times editorially denounced Piperdom just as has THE REPUBLICAN for the past two years, which indirectly endorsed everything this paper has said about the Oregon nightmares. Humes-Piper combination composed of men office hungry, are unwilling to be Republicans, hence they flatly refused the olive branch of harmony extended to them by the King County Republican Club. Spokane county is apparently still willing to remain weeded politically to the "has been" John L Wilson. Spokane Republicans know a good thing when they get hold of it and they hang on to it like grim death. An Indiana man wants to know what would you do, if one of a 300 lot of fine chickens had picked a $500 diamond from the ring on your finger and you did not know which one of the lot committed the act? The chickens are worth $3 a piece. English soldiers like United States soldiers propose to settle down on the lands they have won from their opponents in war. Transvaal is to be an English instead of a Dutch offspring, while the Philippines are to be American instead of Spanish offsprings. It appears that when the bunco men cease to dig up to the police force then the police begin to arrest them. These Alaska rushes are financial harvests for the easy fingered municipal blue coats, who in many instances wear rather shady records for honesty and sobriety. We are told that the Fusionists of the Northwest find room for consolation in the late Oregon election. Well, why not? they only lacked 8000 votes of carrying the state for their ticket, and to be beaten by so small a majority as that is a mere bagatelle for a Populist windmill. Southern Democrats are so kindly disposed toward the Southern Negro that their sympathy box, which is so full that it lops all over the sides, for the Cubans, Porto Ricans, Hawaiians and Filipinos can not be doubted for a minute. Charity should begin at home and spread abroad, but with the Democrats it begins abroad and never gets any further. Superintendent Barnard is still superintendent of the Seattle public schools, W. J. Mendeth to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Mendeth may be "all wool and a yard wide," but since he has been in the public's eye, he has been mixed up in entirely too many newspaper unpleasantness for a man at the head of the public school system of a county like King.

Before this city should go very extensively into the municipal ownership business it should show some signs of being able to put its thoroughfares in a passable condition for the coming winter season. "Write that the readers may know the truth," is a rule that the White River Journal says it intends to follow in the future. We can assure it, judging from the past, that it has ample room for improvement. Speaking about the local force of the police department it seems to be in a most rotten condition. Recently a man was pinched and no charge was placed against him, though ne was pinched as a bunco man. A gentleman, who knew the man went to the headquarters and demanded that he be released at once or there would be trouble, and this was forthwith done. But that was not all of the story, the officer that made the arrest wanted to know of the sponsor for the man who was arrested, "why it was that when he pinched a bunco out of whom he could get a piece some one always got him out and he had to lose the dough? "In the future," continued the officer, "I propose to pinch every suspect that comes along unless he digs up The papers say the police officers are in the business, and one had as well have the game as to bear the blame." From the above it would appear that the citizens are in as much danger from the police force as from the crooks that now roam at will over the city. Nothing could have been stronger or more explicit than the orders of Postmaster-General Smith, to his Fourth Assistant, Mr. Bristow, to unearth the frauds in the Cuban postoffice and use his utmost endeavor to bring the culprits to justice. The Administration is determined that the guilty shall THE REPUBLICAN. GEO. B. KITTINGER ESTATE --- om house, with bath, and electricity; every endid repair; cellar house.

Ere the county central committee had decided to hold a late county convention the supporters of the Humes-Piper-Ankeny combination were rather inclined to exhibit the bragadocia spirit, so certain were they, that Humes had the county by the tail politically speaking, but things have taken an awful slump on the market since the meeting of the central committee, and they now admit that J. M. Frink has a fighting show for the King county endorsement. No sooner had the storm kicked up by the county central committee subsided then at once a "spirit" began to make its appearance above the political horizon, which had inscribed on it in large letters; "Consolidation of the various Republican clubs in King county into one organization." The proposition at once met favor with the members of the King County Republican Club as well as with the McKinley Club, and ere another week will have passed the two clubs will doubtless be one. This in a nut shell means that the followers of Honest (?) Tom Humes realizes that theirs is a lost cause and they desire to get in the Frink band wagon. Later. While the rank and file of the McKinley Club favored consolidation the Holy Trinity of that sanctum refused to give it the necessary sanction, and so the proposition will not be accepted. --- "I want to see the two leading Republican clubs of the county consolidated against the common enemy, Demo-Popism," said Dr. J. J. Smith of Franklin one day this week. "In my opinion Mayor Humes should serve out his full term. The men who elected him mayor last spring did so believing that he would do so and he should not deceive them. All factions of the Republican party in the city supported him, after he had been nominated, most loyally, and, it is due to the Republican party of Seattle and the county in general, that he serve his time out as mayor of Seattle before asking for another office. I have decided to support J. M. Frink for governor and Senator John Wooding for sheriff. 1 have supported the present sheriff every time he has been a candidate and I am certain it was an agreement that Mr. Wooding be the candidate this year and I therefore propose to support him." News comes from Dr. Sparling of Newcastle that he too is endorsing the candidacy of Hon. J. M. Frink for the governorship. Newcastle it seems is quite unanimous in the support of Mr. Frink, and no other candidate will get a corporal's guard of votes from that berg in the next primary election. This is one of the heavy country voting places and it means much toward the successful candidacy of Mr. Frink when those large voting precincts in the country began to wheel in line for him. --- "I am certain," said a prominent politician from the country one day this week, "that Senator Frink will get the entire eastern part of the county to say nothing of the votes he will pick up in other parts of the county. I am told that he will quite split the southern half of the county and will more than hold his own in the north part of the county. Issaquah is reported dead in line with the Frink move. Ex-Dairy Commissioner P. J. Smith, like his name sake, Dr. Smith, is out supporting Frink for governor, but wants to see John Wooding nominated for sheriff. Such may be tenable political grounds, but the Piemaker hardly sees it that way. The contest has been made on the governor and sheriff and it looks almost impossible for a man to support the one without supporting the other. Ballard, it is believed, will send a solid Frink delegation. The News of that city, independent in politics, is supporting the candidacy of Senator Frink, while the Union, a heretofore Humes organ, is rather inclined to Frink at this time, which warrants the statement that Ballard will be a Frink stronghold in the next primary contest. --- Speaking about outside aid for King county there seems to be no doubt whatever but that if Mr. Frink gets King county's endorsement he will finally get the bulk of the southwest combination as well as a heavy following from the northwest. Pierce county can not do other than support King county's choice for governor, providing always that King county herself is united, and she will be. From eastern Washington Senator Frink can reasonably expect Spokane's co-operation for the governorship, now that Judge Moore has been completely silenced. A reasonable support from the sections herein enumerated simply means the nomination of J. M. Frink beyond a question. Mr. Ankeny may get some following in the southwest for his choice for governor and some in the northwest, but by no means enough to offset the heavy vote that will go to King county's choice for governor, providing that choice is J. M. Frink. --- The local papers have had much to say about an "important conference" that Levi Ankeny and E. C. Neufelder are to hold in the East, which may result in Mr. Ankeny withdrawing his support from Honest Tom Humes and throwing it to Little Guie, who made himself famous in state politics by bolting the regular Republican caucus because that caucus did not select a man for the United States senate suitable to his wishes. The Pie-maker attaches very little importance to the supposed conference, even though it is an actuality, for what has Mr. Neufelder to deliver up to Mr. Ankeny from a political point of view? Perhaps the precinct that Mr. Neufelder lives in might be influenced one way or the other by his change of fronts, but not another precinct in the whole county would give his opinion a sober second political thought regardless of what candidate he endorsed. No one, save a few immediate friends and admirers, know E. C. Neufelder from Adams off ox, (this is said in all friendliness,) and his personel in a campaign would be of no more consequence, save among one or two banker politicians, and would cut no more political ice than would a street laborer's, and not near so much as some of them, who take an active interest in ward politics. Let Mr. Neufelder boost either Candidate Humes or Bolter Guie and it will not hurt Mr. Frink's candidacy a single particle, aside from his own personal vote. ```markdown ``` The candidacy of Frank W. Cushman has had no more ardent advocate, even in Pierce county, than THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN has given it, and it is laughable in the extreme to read the following excerpt from the Northwest Republican: It is the anti Wilson men that all along have been the friends of Cushman and Jones, for if the Wilson element could have done so there would have been a congressional candidate from King county. The conclusion such organs as the SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and the Chehalis Bee-Nuggett has come to was literally a forced conclusion—rammed down their throats, so to speak. Either you have not read the columns of this paper from time to time or you lie for the pleasure of lying. For the past six months or more Mr. John L. Wilson has advocated that King county should ask for the governorship, and for the past two years this paper has advocated the re-nomination of Frank W. Cushman, to which fact the Tacoma papers will bear a swift witness and which fact Mr. Cushman himself has more than once acknowledged to this paper over his own signature, and the attempt of the above miserable little sheet to pervert the truth shows the rotten stuff its editor is made out of. --- "Politics is a rather hot tomalie in Seattle," jocularly remarked Senator Sargent of Buckley one day this week as he shook hands with the Pie-maker. Well, yes, I am informed that the law firm of Crowley & Groscup is supporting the candidacy of E. Heister Gule, as he is pleased to term himself, but the rank and file of the voters of Pierce county favor the candidacy of Hon. J. M. Frink, and, if he is endorsed by the Republican county convention of King, he will get the support of the Pierce county delegation. Mr. Frink's candidacy is very popular among the voters of my section and we sincerely trust that he will receive the endorsement of King. The candidacy of Mr. Humes is generally considered that of a greedy politician who is never satisfied at what he is given by his constituents. "Yes it is true that I am a candidate for sheriff of Pierce county and I feel absolutely certain of getting the nomination. J. C. Taylor is also a candidate for the same office and he hails from the same district as I do, but I do not fear but that I will get a majority of the delegates and that will settle it so far as he is concerned. I will be nominated and if nominated I am certain of election." ```markdown ``` Frink headquarters have been fitted up in the Star-Boyd building, room 331, where you are welcome to visit at any time through the day. Mr. Frank H. Paul spends the most of the afternoons there consulting with friends. --- Apropos the announcement of ex-State Senator Sargent to the effect that, "the Northern Pacific of Tacoma is backing the candidacy of E. Heister Guie," comes the report from another source that the law firm of Crowley & Groscup, Northern Pacific attorneys, have sent word over to a number of leading Seattle politicians to the effect that, unless King county endorsed Guie for governor King county would get nothing at the hands of the next Republican state convention. That is putting it pretty strong and it was news to the Republicans of King county to learn that Crowley & Groscup owned the Republican party of this state to the extent as to say who it would nominate for this or that office. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that the state of Washington has no two other men within her confines, who have less political influence, save among a few Pierce county politicians, than Crowley & Groscup, and there seems to be no doubt but that the state never had two men with less political gratitude in them than those two men. Hon. Edward B. Palmer and Dr. R. M. Eames, who made it possible for the election of Blundering Foster to the United States senate, were told by Groscup the next day after the election, that Guie and his followers, after all, were the men from King county to be thanked for the election of Foster. It is useless to add that Mr. Palmer pronounced Mr. Grosenp the most contemptable ingrate that ever lived in language far more forcible than modest. Mr. Groscup apologized for the break, but the subsequent actions of his man Friday proves that he meant exactly what he said, and that he is not to be trusted by any man. No one objects to the Northern Pacific having its "friend at court" the same as any other private individual, but they do object to that friend being under the influence of such a man as Attorney Groscup of Tacoma. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that "honest Chet Beldin" prevaricated most outrageously, when he declared to Pap Bruce that Samuel H. Piles told him that he, Piles, intended to support John Wooding for sheriff, and the reason the Pie-maker is of that opinion is because Col. Scott told "honest Chet" that he was g—d l—r if he said Piles told him that he was going to support Wooding. "I know Mr. Piles better that most any one else in Seattle, and when he gives a man his word that he will do a thing it is the same as his check, and he considers a political obligation just as sacred as he does a moral one. Mr. Piles had told me that he was for Van De Vanter and he had likewise told Mr. Van De Vanter that he would be for him, and I knew that Mr. Beldin or Mr. Any One else lied when he or they accused Sam Piles of political infidelity," said Col. Scott one day this week. --- The Holy Trinity of the McKinley Club point blankly refused to entertain the proposition of the Republicans of King county without regard to former political factions, to unite in one common Republican club to oppose Democracy and Populism combined in the coming fall campaign, giving the world to understand that, it is not the Republican party that the Trinity of the McKinley Club wishes to succeed, but the individual interest of a few mercinary politicians, who have lived for the past two years or more by pulling the political leg of would-be Senator Levi Ankeny. The Holy Trinity of the McKinley Club is a queer combination of humanity and one that is quite deserving of segregation at the hands of the Pie-maker. George U. Piper, Dr. Samuel Burdett and Thomas Bevan are the members thereof. A Western gold brick man, a highly educated Kentucky Negro and the worst type of bunco politician from Slumdom. George Piper has been heard from before in Oregon, and, you know the rest. Dr. Samuel Burdett was once the leader of the A. P. As. in this city, and, if current reports be true, he led him a merry chase. All know him in a political way. Tommy Bevan, well he is a cuckoo from cuckoosville and this tells his whole tale. He has fought in all parties and has been for all factions, some times for them alternately, and, at other times, for all of them at the same time. Such a triumvirate of politicians, you and each of you will admit without hesitancy, are eminently befitting leaders to conduct a campaign in which "long green" is the chief argument of convincing voters. --- And now a new candidate from the Northwest has shyed his castor into the political arena and will ask for the nomination of lieutenant governor, and it is none other than ex-Judge Henry McBride of Mt. Vernon. If he can get the northwest to back his aspirations as a unit and will go to the next state convention with the view of getting the place, combinations can be made which will land him in the chair. --- A few days more and the delegates to the Democratic National convention will be off for Kansas City where they will have the pleasure of paying $5 per day for hotel accommodations and then sleep five deep. But the most unkindest cut of all, the boys will have to pay $1 per drink for rotgut whiskey. Lee Hart with Judge White's proxy will be among the first on the grounds to do what he can against the candidacy of James Hamilton Lewis, who has vice presidential aspirations.

WHALLEY & STURTEVANT 5 AND 6 COLMAN BLDG. Local and Personal. Mr. B. F. Bush, general manager of the Roslyn coal mines, was a visitor to the city last Tuesday and expected to be on the Sound the most of the week. "Our mines were never doing better," said he, "and the men never seemed better pleased." Mr. S. P. Freeman, an old Northwest pioneer, died in this city last Friday. Mr. Freeman was one of the first colored men that ever settled in Seattle and he has done some kind of business the greater part of the time he has been living in the city. His only son, Al, was at one time quite prominent in political affairs of the city, but lost his foothold and finally drifted away. He came up from Portland last Saturday to attend the funeral, which was held from the Episcopal church last Sunday, of which Mr. Freeman and his entire family were members. Wanted: By a colored man and woman a place to do work in a private family. Woman good cook and man an all around handy man about the house. Apply at this office for further information. Mr. L. C. Copeland of Tacoma was attending to business in the Queen City last Monday. A letter from J. W. Riggs from Dawson City can be found in another column hereof. Quite a few of the Afro-Americans of the city picniced at West Seattle last Tuesday and report a most enjoyable time. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. B.F. Tutt, Mr. and Mrs. William Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. John Robison, Mrs. J. T. Gayton and others SEATTLE THEATER. The coming three weeks' engagement of the two popular stars, Clay Clement and L. R. Stockwell, commencing next Sunday evening at the Seattle theater, will be one fraught with much interest to local play-goers, both on account of the excellence of the plays to be submitted and the all-round excellence of the company. "The New Dominion," Mr. Clement's romantic comedy-drama, will be the opening play, with Mr. Clement in his incomparable portrayal of the Baron Von Hohenstauffen, and Mr. Stockwell as Napoleon Lafayette Randolph, an old colored retainer. Mrs. Clement will also be in the cast. Summer prices during this engagement; 300 seats lower floor, 50 cents; balcony 25 cents and 50 cents; gallery 15 cents. THIRD AVENUE THEATER. Unlooked for complications frequently arise when people fired with love's young dream seek a congenial partner through the medium of the matrimonial papers. This is what happens in the case of "The Real Widow Brown," a clean, farcial play bubbling over with jollity, which will be seen at the Third Avenue Theatre next week. In most plays the characters are made to bring about situations which are strained and unnatural, but in Mr. A. Q. Scammon's latest bid for public recognition old lines have been ignored. The real widow is impersonated by an audacious young man while another gay young man "makes up" an assumes to be an old deacon who believes he has found his affinity through the "Matrimonial Times," and with whom he has been in correspondence. The mistaken identities furnish excellent opportunities for fun and merriment. The situations and climaxes are irresistibly funny, and the combined efforts of a clever company of farceurs to amuse and create a vast deal of laughter is crowned with success. The music is bright and up to date, the costumes artistic, and the singing and dancing specialties uncommonly good.
