The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN historical Society VOL. VII NO. 6 WILL'M MCKINLEY Lost His First Law Suit, but Won a Wife, Which Has Ever Since Been His Strong Right Bower—Visited Washington City on Her Bridal Trip and Predicted, "Some Day Her Husband Would Be President," and Has Ever Stuck to it—Happy Reminicences of His Early Career as an Attorney at Canton. President McKinley, as a young attorney, lost his first case in the Common court of Stark county, as shown by the records, but he won a bride. He also was elected prosecuting attorney during the trial. This case was first heard before Justice Philip Loew of Navarre, Stark county, in 1869 Loew is a rock-ribbed Democrat, but has much love for McKinley. Loew, strange as it may seem, is still a justice of the peace in the valley of Navarre, and has held the office in an unbroken line all these years. John Rostetter, a farmer of Bethlehem township, Stark county, brought action against Philip. Sheets, his tenant, to recover damages of $213.20. The farmers had a quarrel over some horses breaking into a wheat field. The plaintiff caused an attachment to be issued to satisfy his claim, should he win the suit. Summons was served on Sheets March 18, 1869. He demanded a jury trial. This was granted, and April 6 was fixed as the time to hear the case. The parties were not ready and the case did not come to trial until May 8. It took three days to hear the evidence and the arguments. The jury finally gave judgment for the defendant, Sheets, amounting to $136.85. McKinley's client was not satisfied with the issue of the case and took an appeal. During the trial of the case McKinley had become engaged to marry Ida Saxton, the belle of the town of Canton, and while the case was pending between Rostetter and Sheets, McKinley was getting ready for the wedding tour. He was married January, 1871. His interest in this important event of his life is shown in a letter written a short time before his marriage to Judge Ambler of Salem, Ohio, then Congressman from this district. The young Canton attorney sent a letter of inquiry to Congressman Ambler of Washington, asking about the hotels of Washington and informing Mr. Ambler of his approaching marriage. This letter is now in the possession of Attorney Ralph Ambler of this city, son of the former Congressman. Ralph Ambler, curiously enough, is now a Republican candidate for common pleas judge in this county. The visit of William McKinley and his bride to the national capital was an eventful occurrence in the young bridegroom's life. It is said that the bride was so pleased with the trip that she then declared her husband would some day be President of the United States. It is certain that such a statement was made by Mrs. McKinley early in her married life and that she always clung to this belief and repeatedly declared it to friends. Another important event in the life of McKinley that caused him to delay the case of Kostetter and Sheets was his canvass for prosecuting attorney of Stark county. He was nominated, as well known here, partly as a joke, for the county had been strongly Democratic. The opposing candidate was William A. Lynch. McKin- ley, probably inspired with the idea of distinguishing himself in the eyes of his prospective bride, turned out and made such a vigorous campaign that he won and when the ballots were counted in the fall of 1869 he was elected prosecuting attorney. Here is another strange thing clustering about this period of McKinley's experience. The opposing counsel in the Rostetter-Sheets case was also this same William A. Lynch. McKinley won the election and his bride; Lynch won the law case. Two years later McKinley and Lynch were again opposing candidates for prosecuting attorney. This was Lynch's turn and he easily defeated McKinley. Mr. Lynch is now a prominent business man and lawyer here and one of McKinley's strongest friends. He is a gold Democrat and in 1896 worked for McKinley. The presiding judge in the case, the parties to the suit, and most of the jurors are dead. The little house used as a court by Justice Loew still stands near his grocery store and serves as a small store-room. Frink and Labor. From White River Journal In the Journal a week or so ago reference was made to the charge that Frink, while in the legislature, had voted against the eight-hour law, and the lien-law. We have been to the trouble of looking up the record and find that so far from opposing those measures, Senator Frink has voted for them. In senate journal for 1891 there appear the following records. (House Dnr. 34, by Mr. Adams; An act declaring eight hours' labor shall constitute a legal day's work on all work done by and for the state, or any county or municipality therein. "Those voting in the affirmative were: (Frink and fourteen others)." The bill having failed to receive a majority did not pass, but later in the session it was called up again; as appears by page 359. Senator Frink, with sixteen others, voted for the bill, but it still failed of a majority. Among other labor measures voted for by Mr. Frink was one "relative to payment of employees" (page 522); also a bill (page 244) "declaring Labor day a legal holiday." A member of the legislature says that the only time Mr. Frink was ever called to order was on an occasion when a lien law was under consideration, and he said hotly, in answer to another member, that he would make a lien law strong enough to take the shirt off a man's back if he didn't pay his help. The Washington Iron Works, of which Senator Frink is manager, is the only strictly union labor shop of its kind in Seattle. SEATTLE BANQUET. The ovation tendered ex-Senator John L. Wilson was the most remarkable triumph in the political history of the state of Washington. It was not only an ovation but the cheering continued until it seemed that Senator Wilson's speech was to be cut out by the long continued applause. When he did take the stand and began speaking, he made the address of his life. It was a wonderful effort.—Everett Times. Kindly remember our advertisers when you buy. Also speak a good word for THE REPUBLICAN. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1900. GENER'L ROOSEVELT And His Negro Soldiers-He Told of Their Bravery in Capturing San Juan Hill-As Hospital Nurses the Negroes Became Double Heroes-But Governor Roosevelt Had a Different View of Them-They were Cowards, Scullions, Trators and Unfit for Army Promotion-His Nomination May Cost Republicans Many Negro Votes. Notwithstanding the personal popularity of the tail end of the National Republican ticket for the part he played at San Juan, yet trouble seems to be brewing for the ticket among Northern Negro voters, and for no other reason than that Theodore Roosevelt was nominated on it for the vice presidency. No military leader that ever led a charge in battle array ever spoke more commendatory of the gallantry a particular company played under fire than did General Roosevelt of the Twenty-fourth and fifth Infantry (colored), that came to the rescue of the famous Rough Riders just as they were about to be cut to pieces and driven pell mell from San Juan Hill by the Spaniards. In the rich of time came the famous black Indian fighters yelling and singing like demons and leaping over the heads of the crouching Rough Riders, who were hiding behind whatever they could to ward off the deadly Spanish bullets. On and upwards they pushed—in an instant a volley from the enemy black troopers is swept into eternity—instantly it is refilled, when again it is swept away and so on until more than half of the entire company are dead heroes on the battle field. Then it was that an English officer (a spectator) rode to the front and begged of the colored troops to desist from trying to scale that Hill, "for no living man can ever accomplish it," but the colored soldiers were not made of the desisting stuff, and, ere night fall, their shiny faces were to be seen resting in the Spanish block houses. The Rough Riders followed in their wake, but the laurels of the day belonged to the Negroes and any other country, save the United States would consider it an honor in the highest to have history so record it. It was then that General Roosevelt sent the news to the headquarters that soldiers in battle never displayed greater bravery than the colored boys, who led the charge at San Juan Hill. The Spanish war at that memorable battle came to a sudden end. There was no more fighting to be done, but there was still more gallentry tor the Negro soldiers to display, and they quickly laid aside their swords and muskets and with the tenderness of trained nurses went to the hospitals and nursed the wounded and fever stricken white soldiers that were sick unto death in that sun scorched climate. There were few Negro soldiers sick, for them to nurse, for, as to the fever, they were immunes, and they were not as a rule wounded in that fight, but simply killed. So grateful were the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of the white soldiers for the kind treatment their men folk received at the hands of the colored soldiers, that wherever the Negroes appeared after they had returned from Cuba their paths were strewn with flowers by those good ladies in every city, and General Roosevelt continued to speak in the highest praise of them. Home again and the hero of San Juan is nominated for the governorship of New York and during his entire campaign he never made a speech without saying nice things about the bravery of the black soldiers. But Governor Roosevelt was a different man from General Roosevelt. It suddenly occurred to Governor Roosevelt that the Negro soldier was a coward, a scullion and no more fit for army promotion than apes and monkeys. Not one of the Negro soldiers that drove the Spaniards from San Juan Hill, in Governor Roosevelt's estimation, merited the first promoito. In fact the Negroes only fought at all, because he, Roosevelt, drew his revolver and threatened to kill the first man that fled from his post of duty as they were doing. This was news to the world, and especially to all persons who witnessed that famous San Juan charge, and the statements were severely criticised by all manner of man. The Negroes in the North have an opportunity now to show their disapproval of Governor Roosevelt's utterances, it would not surprise the writer, if the Republican party did not lose many Negro votes on Roosevelt's account in such doubtful states as Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, Kansas and others where votes are most needed. Should they do so in any great numbers, as they could, it would mean defeat for the Republican presidential ticket, which would be a most deplorable occurrence. President McKinley should not be made to suffer for the sins of Governor Roosevelt and for the Negro voters to do any that very thing. Where Is'Oleson's. Clayson's body was first found several weeks since in the waters of the Yukon; Relf's body has been found not far from Clayson. Several steamers have arrived from the North since the finding of the body of Relf, but no news has as yet come to hand of the finding of the body of Oleson. It is generally supposed that all three of these were murdered together. Now Oleson was a lineman between Mink and Hootcheco, and it was in this immediate neighborhood where the murders occurred, and it was here where O'Bryan, the man who has been held for the past six months by the Canadian authorities upon suspicion of having committed the murders, was staying in a hut. Oleson knew O'Bryan, but no intimacy appears to have been shown to exist between them. Now, if Olesons body is not found before long, a suspicion will arise that he is not dead, but is implicated in the murder of the other two, in connection with O'Bryan. EDWARD CLAYSON, Sr. BETTLEMAN W. G. POTTS MINERS AT ROSLYN Spend Much Money for Drink and Gamble-Saloons Get Three Thousand Dollars Per Month from Colored Miners-In Twelve Years Time it Figures up to an Enormous Sum-Exceeds the Combined Wealth of the Negroes of California, Oregon. Washington and Idaho-More than All of the Negroes in the West. It is reported by a man that can speak authoritatively that, the colored citizens of Roslyn, this state, spend the snug sum of $3,000 every month in the saloons of that camp for drink and at cards, which, if true, demonstrates the assertion that has been frequently made in times past by persons, who have made a careful observation of the race that, "the colored folk are liberal spenders." What proportion this amount is of the whole amount that they draw each month in that camp the writer hereof is not prepared to say, but be it a large or a small proportion of it, there is no doubt but that it is an enormous sum to be squandered for articles from which no good in the world can be derived. That means in the course of a year an aggregate sum of $36,000 to say nothing of the interest that the amount would bring to any one having that much to invest one year with another. If no mistake is made the colored folk have been in Roslyn for twelve years, and at one time there is the present time and of course they must have spent more with the saloon keepers than they do now, but suppose they have only spent on an average $3,000 per year, then in twelve years the saloons of Roslyn have gotten from them in round numbers $432,000. What a vast sum of money to be paid out for drink and fun, both of which are exceedingly degrading to humanity. What an amount of business can be done on a capital of $432,000. With a capital of that much cash in hand, business enterprises worth almost four million dollars could be put under headway. That much money with the labor that those men could put behind it would be equal to almost ten million dollars in bonded transactions. With the labor that it took to make it in twelve years, if properly handled it would prove a power sufficient to all but clog the wheels of this government if it so desired. Should $432,000 in actual cash be withdrawn from the Northern Pacific Railway system it would come pretty near bankrupting it and again putting it in the hands of a receiver. That sum in hand would buy the whole Sunnyside irrigated territory and its improvements. To suddenly take that much from the Jim Hill railroad interest would cause the estate to tremble and quake less it go to pieces. That is more money than all of the colored citizens in California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho have in property. It is more money than all of the colored citizens West of the Missouri river have invested in business enterprises. If the amount was invested in land it would buy every colored man in the state a nice twenty acre home, and still have a small bank account to lay up for a rainy day. It will thus be seen that it behooves the human family to look after the little things even more carefully than the big things. There are hundreds of communities in the South where equally as PRICE FIVE CENTS many colored men work just as hard as those at Roslyn, and yet do not spend $1,000, yea, not half of $1,000 for drink and gamble in a year to say nothing of each month. It appears that our Roslyn bretheren have come to the conclusion that, inasmuch as them that have must to lose, it shall be equally true that, them that make must spend, and spend foolishly at that. Were that amount of money now hoarded up among the colored miners of Roslyn either in cash or property, it would be a community the entire state would struggle to do homage to. The color of the persons having it would no longer be a barrier to prevent the Caucasians from granting them every recognition that any other American citizen gets regardless of his color or nationality. The time for any race or nationality to save money is when it is making money. The man or woman who does not take the advantage of an opportunity must expect to see himself become the slave, in a way at least, to that man or woman that never falls to take advantage of every opportunity to succeed that presents itself. This article is by no means intended as a tirade against those Roslyn men and women that do those things, for every man has a right to spend his money, after he has made it, as suits him best, but it is intended to show to the colored folk of the Northwest that, if they are not owners of valuable properties, splendid enterprises and successful business houses and blocks they themselves are to blame for it. You have known to now all of those things, but you preferred to spend it for drink and over the green cloth. To complain of the white men for not giving your children an opportunity to do any thing else but, be hewers of wood and drawers of water, should be the last thing you should kick about as a race. The opportunity has been presented to you and you simply unceremoniously turned it down and your children are the sufferers therefor. So promote it be. Charley Edmonds, who so miraculously escaped death, being dragged from the bottom of the mine by having one foot caught in one of the ascending coal cars, is able to hobble about and the doctor thinks by no means will he be a permanent cripple. Persons wishing to subscribe for THE REPUBLICAN can leave their orders with John L. Robinson at the barbershop, or Rev Bailey will also send in your order if you will make your wants known to him. A number of the well known miners of this city are preparing to leave for Seattle and the Sound country to spend the Fourth of July. They, for the most part, will take a week off. This section is being favored with some good weather now, which is very acceptable, owing to the continuous cool weather that has prevailed. The report of a rich strike in the mountains just above Roslyn has caused a good many of the coal diggers to suddenly turn gold diggers. Mr. J. L. Chisholm, the only colored census enumerator in the state of Washington or the entire Northwest for that matter, has finished up his work and has made his report to Superintendent Myers. Mr. Chisholm was the first colored man to hold a position in the legislature of this state, which was some ten or twelve years ago. Oregon's Harvey Scott has gone in his hole and pulled it in after him since the election in that state. Mitchelldom and not Scott-Corbettdom will rule the roost in the next legislature of Oregon. Fighting in China has assumed a war-like appearance. A state of war has not actually been declared by the United States authorities, but it amounts to the same thing. Kelley, the Bum, of Seattle, now has an opportunity to be Kelley, the gentleman, owing to the leniency of a sister. Now lets see if he is able to conquer himself, and be greater than the "Allied Forces." Despite the twelve statesmen twelve Hon. John L. Wilson received an ovation at the Armory hall last Friday night that must have made each of them feel that they succeeded in cutting a fat hog while members of the last legislature. Mr. Nat C. Goodwin assumed his former self over in Butte the other day for a few short hours, and old Nat Goodwin raised particular hellabus in the drink holes and places of vice in which that city abounds. When John Barleycorn goes after his man neither his social nor his professional prominence cuts any figure with him, but he gets him good and plenty. Had Mr. Humes been candidate for wreckmaster or constable to send out a pink circular to that effect might have been in good taste, but it looks bad for a gubernatorial candidate with senatorial ambitions. Would-be-Congressman Brigham H. Roberts of Utah is now a convict. A jury on which there were four Mormons found him guilty of living in polygamy, in fifteen minutes after retiring. Congress was right in expelling him. Is Teddy Piper a political hoodoo? His presence defeated Ankeny for the senate in this state and now, it is claimed that it was his coarse political work on the Oregonian that defeated Harvey Scott's candidate for the U. S. senate. "G. O. P." is translated by the Cheeney Sentinel as a "grip on prosperity." Whether or not the Republican party has a grip on prosperity remains to be seen, but one thing is certain. "Prosperity got on" the Republican band wagon four years ago and has been riding there ever since. Newspaper changes in Walla Walla's daily journalistic fields are quite numerous these days. Evidently the hot weather of that section melts the fat thrown into the hoppers altogether too rapidly. Ground ice mixed in might make it hold out longer, Uncle Levi. David Bennet Hill says he would under no circumstances accept the Democratic nomination for the vice presidency. Doubtless Davy has a delicacy in knifing a ticket on which he is a candidate. After all Davy Hill seems to still have one spark of the man left in him. Dick Crocker, the Tammany chief, is discussing national issues these days likeunto a Clay, Webling or any of the notable statesmen of the age. The more ignorant some men are the deeper they try to dive into the great questions of the day and Dick Crocker is a brilliant illustration. Suppose "Oregonian" Scott should support the Democratic presidential nominees the Republican party would win in Oregon just the same. And the late election there wherein Mr. Scott fought the Republican ticket, and yet it was elected, is offered in evidence to substantiate our allegations. Of course Tennessee will give Bryan a majority of 30,000 next November, and as many more if it will do him any good. Democratic majorities in Tennessee as well as all other Southern states can be counted now just as well as in November. The expense and trouble of holding elections there should be forthwith dispensed with. Seattle should have the state convention this year and we believe if it will but show a disposition to want it there is no doubt but that it will get it. A number of prominent members of the state central committee have already expressed themselves on that point and it is very favorable to Seattle. Now let the citizens put forth their hands and get what the committee is anxious to give them. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN says Wilson has for more than six months wanted the governor to go to King county, yet it is only six weeks ago that he asked Mr. Frink to come off the gubernatorial perch and let a King county man come out for congress. So much for the S. R's. ability to tell even a little bit of the truth. Northwest Republican. Prevaricating, we see, comes perfectly natural to you. --- JOHN H. McGRAW GEO. B.

Why, in Heaven's name, does Mr. Humes suppose the voters will be any more inclined to treat him unfairly now than they have for the past fifteen years? Has he not during all of that time fed at the public crib? Is he not at this very minute feeding on a $3,000 per year salary given to him by the voters of Seattle? Did he not publicly announce that, it was on account of the proposed increase of the mayor's salary why he wanted to be re-elected? Has not the increase been given? Why is he not then satisfied with the goods the gods have provided? Grant it that every newspaper in the city is opposing the nomination of Tom Humes for governor, then does not thus fact lie in the very reason that, he is never satisfied with what he gets? Support the man for one fat office and he is no sooner elected than he announces himself a candidate for another office. The ambitions of Tom Humes are further opposed at this particular time by the newspapers of Seattle for two other great reasons, the first because he is under the influence of such men as George U. Piper, whose Oregon record is not that of an angel's, and, secondly, because Piper has associated with him, one Tom Fisk, who seems to have been sent to King county by Levi Ankeny for the express purpose of running King county politics in the interest of Mr. Ankeny's senatorial candidacy. If Mr. Fisk as an attorney at law has earned enough to pay his office rent since he has been in Seattle then no one seems to be aware of the fact but Tom Fisk. In short, it is the concensus of opinion here that Tom Fisk has drawn a salary from Levi Ankeny ever since he has lived in Seattle just as regularly as the clerks in Mr. Ankeny's bank and, he is here to disrupt King county Republicans and see to it that a split delegation goes to the state convention, unless a pliant King county tool of Levi Ankeny is endorsed for the governorship. Should the men now directing the Humes campaign in this county live for a thousand years and do some good for the city and county every minute of that time they could not undo the wrong and injury Seattle has already sustained at their hands. It is pretty nearly time that Seattle citizens were throwing off such a political nightmare. And still another circular has been sent out by the Piper-Humes-Ankeny combine, which clearly shows what a state of desperation the gang has been driven to. It is headed, "WHY HUMES WILL WIN," and it starts out, "If Judge Humes is put forward by the Republicans of King county as their candidate he will be nominated. If they choose to present another name, their success is questionable." Here is an implied threat direct from the Levi Ankeny forces to the effect that, if a man is not nominated for the governorship of this state by the Republicans of his liking and approval, he will defeat such candidate at the polls. There you are! those that can not be purchased are to be brow beaten into the support of the man who desires to rule the politics of the state of Washington, all the same Clark of Montana. In this tirade of political desperation there is one laughable paragraph, and, it is against professional office holders. Can Tom Humes afford to make such an atttack? As has already been said hereen, Tom Humes has held office ever since he has been in the state, and not content with holding one office he has wanted to hold two at the same time. So greedy has he been to get office since he has been in this city, that for a time he wore a Grand Army hat and went around posing as an "old soldier" to gain public sentiment. And many a man in King county has cast his vote for Tom Humes believing him to be a Union soldier veteran, and that he lost his arm in the army fighting for his country to latre learn the fact that he lost it in a threshing machine before he got office struck. His imposition on the public under a Grand Army hat could be no less despicable than his present imposition on the public as a Seattle benefactor, when he and his followers are today responsible for Seattle not having a United States senator in Congress, when he and his gang are responsible for the Republicans not nominating and electing from King county a supreme judge two years ago, when he and his gang have succeeded in sending divided delegations to the Republican state conventions, which so manipulated things as to keep any one from being nominated from King county, and, finally, when he and his gang of private and public looters have placed Seattle at the mercy of her rival Tacoma. Holding up John L. Wilson as a political scare-crow to drive Seattleites into the support of such political renegades is not strengthening the Piper-Humes-Ankeny combine very materially in King county, and, from reports from other sections, not very materially outside of King county. It occurs to the Pie-maker that the intelligent and refined citizens of this state will have reached a very low state of political degradation when they submit to be ruled by a "barrel" of money, placed at the free disposal of a few fellows for political corruption, which fellows seek as associates the lowest and vilest elements of humanity to be found in the slums of Seattle. As mayor of Seattle has Mr. Humes surrounded himself with the influence of the business men of the city as he promised he would do before he was re-elected? Not much, but it is the men, who hail from the slums, that say to him what must be done in running the affairs of the city. Is it not bad enough to have one city in this state run by the "slum element" besides trying to have the state house likewise placed under the same political gang? What a figure Tom Bevan, Dave Argyle, Boss Munroe, and the directors in general of the lower end hell holes of this city would make "at court," as they bowed and courtesied in the presence of His Excellency, Governor Thomas Humes, the chief Mogul of the tribe? A few more circular letters like- unto those recently sent out by the gang and it would seem to any reasonable man that Levi Ankeny, Tom Humes and George Piper would be the deadest ducks ever in the pond and all self inflicted. Give us political harmony in King county, but for God's sake give us a few grains of political decency along with it. Not content with trying to defeat the will of the people in King county the renegades have joined with B. S. Groscup of Tacoma and propose to defeat Cushman for renomination. It seems that a more unscrupulous gang of politicians never plotted the rule or ruin of a state Republican party than the one in this state at present headed by Levi Ankeny and backed by Senator Foster, B. S. Groscup and the renegades in King county, who work in harmony with them. Will you stand it? is the question for you and each of you to answer. If you love the Republican party you will not stand it. "Not for publication. If Tom Humes is responsible for that pink circular then he is politically mad." "Don't quote me, but the pink circular is the most bungling piece of politics that I have ever before met. Certainly no one but a George Piper or a Tom Fisk could have designed it." "Why in the deuce did not Tom Humes come out and sign that circular, and that would have at least entitled it to a certain amount of consideration, owing to it having the name of a mayor of a great city attached to it, but as an anonymous circular it is the most miserable muddle a politician ever made." "Believing as most people do that Tom Humes and George Piper know all about the Pink circular, it makes one smile to hear it speak about "professional office holding" and "grafters," for Humes as the former and Piper as the latter are princes." "I remember that George U. Piper issued a circular once before announcing that the Post-Intelligence, with which he was then connected, would be an independent newspaper in politics, and then got afraid of it after it had been exposed by THE REPUBLICAN, and had it suppressed. It is thought that he has now issued another circular." Pink Circular: "I, Tom Humes, want an office, and an office I must have, if money will buy it. I am really desperate for an office, notwithstanding the fact I have one office now. I am not interested for a minute in King county's best interest nor are my managers, but what we want is office." "Lets continue to hold John L Wilson up as a political scare crow before the voters of King county, and I believe that, me and you will get more offis, Mr. Piper.' "All the Republican, Democratic and Populist papers in the city are against me for the governorship nomination, because I am such a good man, and, I therefore, appeal to the good Christian people through this circular to not let the cause of Righteousness suffer on account of the opposition of the "trust press." "Have not Me, Dave Argyle, Billie the Mug, John Cort, Monroe, the Fraternal Order of Eagles and all of us done all we could for the cause of Christ and the civilizing of this great city? Then, why would any one oppose me for the governorship? Humanity does not seem to know when it has a good thing." "What the Allied Forces are doing for China, on a smaller scale, me and my friends are doing for Seattle and Washington state. My missionaries (bunco men) must be protected from the deadly attacks these Christians are preparing to make on them. Call out t police." "Dear Charlie, can you tell why the voters have rebelled against me? Have I not given them even more than they asked for? They clamored for liberty and they have not only got liberty but death along with it, and yet they murmer. Send for a few more bunco men." "Honest Tom Humes has been mistreated. Other men have been given offices and money galore from the public crib, but he has been turned down on every occasion that he has applied for it, and now he shall have it or a revolution will be the result." "Send for Crooked Tom and Bunco Jack and say to them that I command them to issue a pink circular and the people will know, from its color, that it is my Royal Edict, and have it say, that they will elect me or they will not elect any one. If they do not want to elect me no elections will be held in King county. "Dems my words." --- Seattle decided to have a ratification of the nomination of the Republican presidential ticket and she had it. Now, Seattle never does things by halves, and in this instance it simply out did its ownself. The banquet and ratification was undoubtedly the most brilliant affair that Seattle has ever before seen of its kind. The colation to start in with was a most choice spread of all the delicacies of the season and in great profusion. Fully as much was left as was eaten and that too regardless of the fact that about one thousand guests partook of the repast. It was under the able management of John T. Gayton, steward of the Ranier Club, and I. S. Blackshire, a professional caterer. It was the first time that young colored men in this section of the country ever drew off so responsible a banquet, but it evidently will not be the last, if the compliments passed by the guests of that occasion, count for anything. --- The Republicans' case was very clearly stated by the speakers on that occasion, and those who listened thereto know exactly along what line the next state campaign will be fought so far as the Republicans are concerned. Chairman Root, who is largely responsible for the brilliant success of the entire blow out, read letters of regret from many leading Republicans from different sections of the state, who were unable to attend, but outlined their ideas of the coming campaign. The speakers, beginning with the brilliant young Walla Walla orator to the last man that spoke, exhibited a spirit which foreshadowed certain success at the polls next November. The orator of the occasion was Hon. John L. Wilson, who was tendered a most flattering ovation when his name was called by Toastmaster Claypool. His effort on that occasion was an outpour of logic, eloquence and statesmanship. His subject, "Expansion," he did not depart from during one minute while he was before the audience, and, when he had finished, many there were present that knew more about the expansion of our country from time to time during its existence than they ever knew before. The Young Men's Republican Club is to be congratulated on its selection as a representative to speak on that occasion in the person of Mr. E. C Ellis. His every word was full and over flowing with meat for thought and he made many votes for the cause before he had finished.

Mrs. Hughes of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is in the city enroute to Nome. Mrs. Jackson and daughter of Portland, Oregon, arrived here, Tuesday.

Blackshire has opened up a restaurant in the stand once owned by Mrs. Thorne. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Wells has been brightened by the presence of a happy, and healthy baby boy. Mrs. Will Johnson has returned from a four week's visit in Portland. She reports a most pleasant stay, but glad to be home again. Her husband runs into Portland now. There were fully fifty colored persons employed at the banquet last Friday evening. Messrs. Gayton & Blackshire are deserving of much credit for the manner they served it. There is to be an out-pour of eloquence at the A. M. A. church next Thursday evening as Judge G. S. Bailey and Editor D. W. Griffin are all to let go their long pent up eloquence on that occasion. "What Part has the Negro played in the foundation of this government," is the subject they are to talk on. Roslyn News Rev, J. P. Brown, who was selected as a delegate to the Baptist Missionary convention to be held in Virginia in September, is making preparations to be ready to start East in August. At present he is engaged in erecting him a nice home. Some efforts must be made by the Roslyn folk to entertain the next A. M. E. Puget Sound conference. During the sitting of that conference it is contemplated by those in authority to vary the usual program by having prominent church men and workers from different parts of the state deliver lectures to it. According to the grape vine telegraph a few hundred more good colored miners could find employment in this community at present and for the next year to come and perhaps permanent. Wages here are very good and it is an excellent opportunity for men looking for steady work at good wages. The monuments for the graves, which were ordered last fall, have at last arrived and most of them have been put in place. They would look much nicer if the cemetery was only kept in a little better condition. It is too bad that the colored folk do not meet together and devise some plan whereby their cemetery could be kept as other cemeteries are. The following very complimentary notice was clipped from the Cascade Miner published in this city by the Randall Brothers: "H. R. Cayton, editor and proprietor of the SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, spent several days in the city this week in the interest of his valuable journal. Mr. Cayton is always a welcome visitor at this office. Our collector will call on you next month. SEATTLE THEATER. Magician Kellar is justly entitled to rank as the greatest magician the world has yet produced, for in his entertainments, as they are given this season, he so far outranks all competitors, as to stand absolutely alone. His methods are his own, and disdaining all the flagrant and apparent subterfuges usually resorted to by unskilled performers, he apparently has but to command the JOHN HENRY most unheard of things to happen, and his word is obeyed. Everything he does, is presented upon a fully lighted stage and he never uses screens, or coverings, to hide any part of his work. Long years of practice have made him the greatest adept in pure sleight of hand, and in this portion of his entertainment, he will offer some startling novelties. He is announced to appear in this city at the Seattle Theatre next Friday, July 6th for three nights. THIRD AVENUE THEATER. The production of "Monte Christo" at the Third Avenue Theatre next week will witness the closing of the present season. It is the most successful season the Third Avenue Theatre has ever known and deservedly so as the class of attractions have been far above the average with one or two exceptions. The theatre will remain closed for six weeks when it will again open with a list of bookings which will be even superior to those that have been offered the present season. "Monte Cristo" is a play that is world famous and it is unnecessary to go into details to describe it, as it is so well known and always proves a pleasing attraction to the public. It is now over three years since it has been seen in Seattle and with the efficient company that will present it and the special scenery that will be used it should prove a good drawing card for the closing of the season of the popular Third Avenue.
