Seattle Republican

THE COLORED VOTERS ARE STILL REPUBLICANS "16 TO 1" 16 to 1 VOL. VII NO. 20 THE Having heard much of a disaffection among colored voters from the Republican ranks, the Pie-maker has looked into the matter to some extent and does not find anything to warrant such statements. Below letters from the leading colored men of the state are published, showing very conclusively that there is absolutely nothing in the allegation. The Pie-maker has been very careful in getting these letters to select colored men, who have in the past affiliated with each of the two great factions in the Republican party of this state; men who have in the past opposed even the wishes of The Seattle Republican, and done so with a vengeance, and yet not one of them reports anything but a clean sweep for the Republican ticket among the colored voters. Talk is cheap, but it takes money, and a good deal of it, to buy colored voters into the Democratic party and keep them bought. The Pie-maker does not believe that G. S. Bailey, D. W. Griffin or any other colored man who has preached Democracy during the present campaign will vote against McKinley on election day. The scope of the letters herein printed will cover not less than 2,000 Negro votes, and no outward disaffection reported among them. The Pie-maker does not believe that 2,000 votes will be the balance of power in this state in the present campaign, but it will help to swell the majority for Frink and the Republican ticket in general. This paper has believed all along that the Negro vote would be safely Republican this year, and now it is verified by the leading colored men of this state. Long live Republicanism and McKinleyism. Just a word to the voters. The ticket at the next election will be over six feet long, and it will puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to fix up a ticket to vote properly. Two years ago and James Hamilton Lewis lost his vote by marking it improperly. Owing to the complications of the JOHN L. ROHINSON Roslyn, Wash. present ballot you may do the same thing. Avoid any danger on that point and mark your ballot opposite "Republican Ticket," and that votes for every Republican on the ticket and avoids any trouble or danger to the voter in the way of having his ticket thrown out. "In my opinion 90 per cent, of the colored voters of this city will stand for the Republican ticket at the polls the 6th of November next. I cannot conceive how a colored man could do other than vote the Republican ticket, knowing as he does that all that is done against the political rights of his race is done by the Democratic party. That party is the life-long enemy of the colored man. Let those colored men who declare they are going to vote for Bryan and the Democratic party consider well this fact before doing so foolish a thing. "JOHN E. CRAGWELL." "I trust every colored friend and acquaintance of mine will make but one cross on their ticket the 6th of next November, and that cross to be opposite 'Republican Ticket on the ballot. Cut no one and then you will be safe in having registered another vote against Democratic perfidy and sympathetic disfranchisers The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of black men. If the Negro ever intends showing himself a man this is the time. We know exactly what the Democratic party will do it it gets an opportunity, for it has demonstrated that fact within the past few months by its actions in North Carolina. Vote against your hereditary enemy, because your hereditary enemy continues doing its dirty work against you. "J. E. HAWKINS." "Let's stand for the Republican party, because the Republican party has stood for the black man and because the Democratic party has steadfastly stood against him. "C. C. HOLFORD." "I have no patience whatever with colored men who pretend to want to vote for the Democratic party and such Windy Moses as Bryan and Stevenson, the latter of whom shot Union soldiers in the back while they were fighting for the freedom of the Negro. If any Negro can show me wherein the Democratic party is any more friendly to the Negro now than it always has been, then I will consider the matter of voting for the nominees of that party. Let the Negro show the Democrats that he is against them, their free silver to the contrary notwithstanding. "W. H. HENDERSON" "A round-trip ticket to some of the Southern states to those leading colored men who are advocating Democracy might prove very good campaign literature for the Republican party. They would return doubly dyed Republicans. "There may be some reason in colored men splitting up in local politics, but the colored man that goes again-t the Republican party on national questions is simply cutting of his nose to spite his face. The Negroes of Seattle, for the most part will not do that, but will vote the Republican ticket next November. "I believe that I can say without fear of successful contradiction that all of my colored friends and associates will vote the straight Republican ticket the 6th of next November. I have met many of them, and I have not heard one word to the contrary from them. The colored man that will vote a Democratic ticket should hide his face in shame forever more. "JOHN T. GAYTON." "Show me the color of the black man's hair that's going to vote the Democratic ticket. If there be such a man I believe he is hairless. Its the same as voting away your own citizenship. "JOSEPH BENNET." "I am for the Republican party from top to bottom, simply because the Republican party is for the black man. No party has stood for the rights of the black man as has the Republican party, and it is but right and proper that the black man stand for the Republican party." "We are for the Republican ticket from one end to the other, and we do not care how far those ends are apart. We are against any party that makes no bones of doing everything in its power to abrogate our citizenship in this country. "THE COLORED REPUBLICAN CLUB OF SEATTLE." "The only reason that I am a Democrat is because the Republicans have never given me an office and have completely overlooked me in the party counsels of war. I have been dropped and another picked up, who not only comes from the slums, but who cannot handle his own vote. Were it not for those things I would still be a good Republican. I'll teach the Republican party to overlook ME, the greatest Negro ever in the Northwest, and take counsel from a plantation darkey. "G. S. BAILEY" "Some years ago I learned the acrobatic art, and I am of the opinion that there is not another man in the entire state that can wheel in and out of parties more rapidly than I. I am for the man and the party that can and will show me the 'free silver' in the largest chunks. Now you see and now you do not. I have made some great turns during the present year, but I have almost run my race, and I feel certain that I have 'done my race,' but what is that to me, just so I get the 'mon.' "D W GRIFFIN" "I am a Democrat because Harry Wilson made me so. He promised me a job and then refused to give it to me on account of my color, and from that time on I have been a Democratic worker. Perhaps it is not for the best interest of the race, but I want to teach Harry Wilson and his brother, John L. Wilson, that they cannot do me and get off with it. "JOHN H. RYAN." "I may not be a voter in this state, and for that reason I am a Democrat and for Bryan. I can get the 'free silver' just the same as if I was a voter, and that's all I want. I chase from first one place to another in this world and manage to live on my wits, and that's exactly what I am doing in Washington state at present. I use the ministry as a cloak to accomplish my designs, and I find it a splendid cloak to operate under. I care nothing about the welfare of the colored folk, just so I get the money. "B. J. PRINCE, D. D., M. D., L. L. D." [The Seattle Republican: While the national election draws near and the different political bosses are marshaling their forces together for the great battle of ballots, the shrewd politicians are scanning the political horizon to get a glimpse of the outcome of the great conflict. Heretofore during national campaign it has been very difficult to give with any degree of certainty a forecast of election, because of the division of the people on the different issues involved, but now it is different, and the shrewd cian with a degree of certainty forecast the results of the coming election, because the lines are drawn so closely that there is no middle ground for the voter to stand on, and he is either for McKinley or Bryan—the gold standard or 16 to 1, national honor or national dishonor, expansion or anti-expansion, law and order or disorder and mob violence, free speech and honest ballots or intimidation and tissue ballots. These are the great issues that are agitating the attention of the people of the nation, as they have not been engaged since the days of Lincoln, and all over the country men who have been strong party workers are shifting their positions and changing their allegiance from one party to the other as the issues involved meet their approval. Not only is this true among the white voters, but many Negroes in different parts of the country have left the party that gave them freedom, the ballot and protection to join the party that practices ballot box stuffing, the disfranchising of the Negroes of the South and permits mobs and the burning of innocent Negroes at the stakes. The reports of colored men in different parts of the country joining the Democratic party and the organization of Bryan clubs in Seattle, Spokane and Newcastle have not shaken the colored voters of Tacoma, who are not easily led astray by honeyed words and pretended friendship of this modern Absalom. The colored voters of Tacoma are taking more interest in politics this campaign than they usually do, and they stand as a unit for the Republican principles. It is not hard for them to decide between the men and the principles they represent which party to support, and no amount of argument and persuasion on the part SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1900. of the allied forces of the fusion managers can break their ranks, although it has been tried more than once by the fusion forces. The few colored men in this city who were identified with the People's party four years ago have returned to the ranks of the grand old party, and are enthusiastic in their support of McKinley and protection. The John Brown Republican Club, composed of prominent colored men of the city, are working with might and main for the success of the Republican ticket, and much credit is due them for the united stand and active part the colored voters are taking in this campaign. The true situation here among the colored voters is this: Not one pronounced Bryanite, one doubtful, and the remainder solid for McKinley and Roosevelt. The fusion forces have given up the idea of carrying the county, and are sacrificing part of the ticket in the hope of electing the sheriff, treasurer, auditor and carrying the county for Rogers. As the election draws neag it becomes more and more apparent to the shrewd politician that Pierce county will give a handsome majority for McKinley, Frank, Cushman and Jones and elect the entire Republican ticket. H. P. LAWHORN. Secretary John Brown Republican Club, Tacoma. Franklin, Washington. This camp will do to the Republican ticket the 6th of next November just what it has in the past, so far as I can observe. Franklin is solic for McKinley and Roosevelt, and it is likewise solid for Frank and Me Bride. In my opinion the entire Republican ticket, both nationally, state and locally, will win out with large majorities in this camp. All ready we send greetings to Seattle and bid Republican voters there to follow in the wake of Franklin and let her vote of many years standing be a criterion as to 'how it will vote this year. H. B. JONES. No man, whether black or white, stands better in the camp of Franklin than Mr. Jones. He has attended every county convention as a member thereof that has been held JAMES E. SHEPPERSON roslyn, Wash. in King county for the past eight years. Mr. Jones makes no pretention of handling the vote of Franklin, but he does make the pretention of knowing about how it is going after he has thoroughly canvassed it, and that he has done in this instance. Say for me that Roslyn will go for the Republican ticket like a flash. Many words and much discussion are all unnecessary, for Roslyn knows her duty and is going to do it. The colored voters are for the ticket. Perhaps the Republican party will lose one Negro vote, and then, perhaps, it will not, and I am free to confess that in my opinion it will not lose a single colored vote. Republican success is in the very air this year. J. E. SHEPPERSON HON. F. W. HASTINGS Candidate for Republican Elector To The Republican To The Republican; Mr. J. E. Shepperson has been instrumental in more colored miners going to live in Roslyn than any other man in the Northwest. In fact, it was he that first paved the way to induce the Roslyn mine operators to use colored miners on their works. Mr. Shepperson has never lost a political fight in that camp, and he is thoroughly in touch with the situation at present. To The Republican: I am glad to inform you that to the best of my knowledge the colored voters of this city and community are for General Prosperity, and will so cast their vote next November. Having taken a deep interest in both local and national political affairs, I am prepared to assert, without fear of successful contradiction, that the colored vote of Roslyn stands solid for the Republican party and William McKinley. Very truly. 1 JOHN L. ROHINSON. Mr. Robinson is one of the foremost young colored men of Roslyn, and is always very conservative in his views. He is a leading member of the A. M. E. church of Roslyn, and is also a leader of a number of the secret societies, which have regular and stated meetings at that point. He is doing a splendid business as a barber and solicitor for a large Eastern tailoring house, and therefore speaks from close observation as to the political situation. To The Seattle Republican: Permit me to say that the colored voters of this city and community intend to cast their vote at the next election for the straight Republican ticket. We have a club here with a membership of 200 voters, all of whom believe that the success of the race to which they belong, as well as the success of the nation at this time, is dependent on the re-election of Major McKinley, which is always certain when Republican supremacy is assured. The Republican party believes in freedom of speech, the right of suffrage to all citizens with out fear of intimidation or molestation at the polls on account of race color or previous conditions, and for an honest count of the votes honestly cast, and the colored voters of Spokane are for that party. All the rights as citizens of this country that the Afro-Americans are now enjoying are the outgrowth of Republican legislation, and whatever else they may get in the future they can only expect to come from the Republicans elected to office. J. P. CHEW. Mr. Chew is one of Spokane's wheel-horse politicians, and has the reputation of being a very shrewd politician. He has never wavered in his political affiliations with the Republicans, and he has been one of the leading members of the Colored Republican Club of Spokane for many years. Sunnyside, Washington. To The Editor; You can count on every black voter in this precinct and this end of the county supporting the McKinley ticket and the entire Republican state ticket. How can any black man consistently support a Democrat for office unless such black man wants to disfranchise his ownself as well as to help others to make laws that will deny himself[ the rights enjoyed by other citizens of this country]? The principles taught by Jefferson Davis to his Democratic followers to honor and revere the graves of those men who fought for the perpetuation of human slavery, and that he hoped the time would come when Northern Republicans would acknowledge that the Southern had a perfect right to enslave the Negro, are still being taught in a way, and as is much a part of the Democratic principles today as then. The history of the Democratic party is teeming with class legislation, and this is quite sufficient to drive every Negro voter in the North from its support. Let every white and black voter in the state of Washington support the party that is against such damnable and brutal practices. The M. B. Capt. Lamping, the daring and brave young soldier just back from the Philippine war, is a public ido, and will receive every Republican vote that is cast at the next election. He has no enemies and will there fore sweep the field. No man has aught to say against Capt. Lamping, and he will prove an ideal candidate. In another column hereof the picture of the young soldier may be seen. The fight has practically let up on Billy White, and it looks now as if he will not only poll his party vote, but for other reasons run ahead of his ticket. Little Bill is going to prove just as popular at the polls as he was at the convention. The P.-I. has had the opposition on the defensive to such an extent for the past ten days that it looks now as if Senator Frink would even get more votes in the state than McKinley. It is very certain that he will run ahead of the national ticket in King county. McConnaughey, the popular Republican candidate for county treasurer, is the only nominee on the Republican county ticket that is practically without opposition. Mc will beat his opponent at least two to one. What do you think of The Republican's 16 to 1 picture? It certainly is a splendid representation of that issue brought into existence by a political ass, who now hangs his head in shame because he did do so. If you are going to scratch your ticket on election day, be careful to place a mark after every man that you want to vote for. Take nothing for granted, but mark the names of the candidates you wish to vote for in a business-like way. No weekly paper is so generally read as The Seattle Republican, and an advertisement in it will always reach the people. Telephone Main 305 if you desire to do business with The Republican has received letters from some of the leading colored men of this state, which may be seen in another column. Read them and judge for yourself where the colored vote stands. It is currently reported that should Ed Cudiehe be elected sheriff of this county he would make ex-Sheriff Wm. H. Moyer his chief deputy. It strikes the Pie-maker that King county has had all of Moyer as sheriff that she needs. But why waste time on the matter? Cudiehe will never be elected to appoint any kind of a deputy. In the death of Hon. W. L. Wilson this country loses another of its most foremost men. The Democrats have most signally failed in their attempt to kick up a row among the King county Republican workers. King county is going to give a 2,500 Republican majority. Grant it that the Republican party has not done all it might have done for the Negro, albeit there is no denying the fact that it has done and is doing more for him than the Democratic party. The former enfranchises the Negro while the latter disfranchises him. Hon. Frederick R. Burch, candidate for the legislature from the Forty-second district, is one of the well and favorably known young attorneys of this city. No man in the city of Seattle is more generally liked than Mr. Burch, and certainly no man in the city would fill the office which he is seeking at the hands of the voters more acceptably than he, should they see fit to elect him. He will make an able and conscientious representative and he will be elected, for the fiat from the voters has so gone out. Last Wednesday was something of a red letter day for accidents in and CAPT. GEORGE B. LAMPING Republican Candidate for County Auditor Republican party is the party of Lincoln, Grant, Douglas, Garfield and McKinley, and all of those great men have stood up for the rights of all men without regard to party, color or nationality. SUNNYNIDE IS FOR McKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT AND ALSO FOR FRINK AND McBRIDE. Mr. Bedell is one of the prosperous farmers of the Sunnyside district situated in Yakima county. He is equally as popular among his white neighbors as among his colored neighbors, and speaks the sentiment of that community in the above few lines. Judge Whitney, one of the Republican speakers in this state, said at the headquarters one day this week that some of the colored men in that district drove forty miles to be at a meeting he held near there one evening last week, which showed more genuine patriotism and party loyalty than it had been his to meet before in the present campaign. Roslyn, Washington. To The Republic; There are about 300 colored voters in this city and community, and they will vote the Republican ticket, or that is my opinion, and I base my opinion on the theory that I have not heard any of them speak to the contrary. The miners here have enjoyed an abundance of prosperity during the four years of the McKinley administration, and they seem perfectly willing to let well enough alone. J. L. CHISHOLM Mr. Chisholm has been a resident of Roslyn for the past thirteenth years or more, and has always taken an active part in the political affairs of that city and county. He was the first colored man in the state to receive an appointment at the hands of the legislature of this state, and he was the only colored man in the entire Northwest that was counted among the census enumerators within the past summer. If any man in Roslyn will give a fair and impartial account of how matters stand politically that man is Jim Chisholm. To The Republican: Much is being said about the colored vote in this camp, and we hear on the streets of Seattle that, owing to the presence of "Dr. Prince" in this camp, who is working for Bryan and "free silver," more the latter than Bryan, the colored voters are going to vote for that party that has proved to be its worst and most dangerous enemy in the past, but I do not believe it, and when the general roll is called on theides of next November I believe that the colored voters of Newcastle will do just as the colored voters all over will do—vote for McKinley, prosperity and freedom. I shall not disclose my identity at this writing, but watch Newcastle and you will see it cast its old-time Republican majority next election day. A BLACK REPUBLICAN. This paper is kis to believe the colored voters in Newcastle propose to do what the Democrats of this city say they are going to do, vote for the Democratic nominees. Vote for Robertson and Ronald, who will go to congress, and vote with their Southern brethren to abrogate the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, is not in the prelegative of a Negro voter. Over $10,000 have been bet on the election of A. T. Van De Vanter during the past week, and it is said that fully that much more are in the hands of Vans friends, if the Cudihee men care to cover it. It does not matter where Van De Vanter got the money to bet on, he and his friends have it, and if the Cudihee men think that they have a snap to make a few thousand dollars at Van's expense let them sail right in, and they can get accommodated by the backers of A. T. Van De Vanter. Lieu Smith says he does not believe that he will be cut at any place in the county, the Bee, Griffin and Bailey to the contrary notwithstanding. PRICE FIVE CENTS 16 TO 1" P. H. FREDRICK R. BURCH Republican Candidate for Representative 42nd District. "Number 58." UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS about Seattle. On that day there were no less than four violent deaths in the immediate neighborhood of Seattle and accidents that will doubtless be the direct cause of as many more. The first reported on that fatal day was a desperate and deadly conflict between Eben Lucas and John Rogers. The men quarreled over money matters and Rogers left the tent (they were West Seattle fishermen and all living vengeance owing to his wishes having been opposed by Lucas. He returned later in the night and attacked Lucas with a knife, but the latter apprehended his attacks and emptied the entire contents of the six chambers of his revolver into Rogers' body and he fell dead on the spot. Lucas is now in the county jail, but he will doubtless prove a clear case of self-defense. Every load in the revolver took effect. About the middle of the day the report came over the wires that a Great Northern train had been wrecked near Edmonds and two men instantly killed, while three other persons were seriously, if not fatally, injured. Twelve freight cars and the engine pulling the same are a total wreck. This road has had a number of fatal accidents of late. The third fatality seems almost sure to follow in an early wake, and to cap the climax, the day the day had closed, a runaway team in Seattle swept down Second avenue about 5 o'clock and at an hour when the streets were crowded with men, women and children, and in the excitement three women were run over anew two of them trampled to death and the third badly injured. On this fatal day both James Hamilton Lewis and Jim Hill arrived in Seattle, just as though Seattle's cup of sorrow was not already bitter enough for one day. Had it J. L. CHISHOLM Roslyn, Wash. not been for the great Republican gathering at the Arroy hall the same evening, addressed by Gen. Carr, of Illinois, the day's proceedings would have certainly proven a "black Wednesday" for Seattle. EXCEPT IN NORTH CA'LINY. Bryan loves all men who toil (Except in North Caliny). It fairly makes his blood to boil (Except in North Caliny) To see how capital will entice Poor laboring men in a vise— But his love's as cold as Tammany ice (For those in North Caliny). "The constitution follows the flag" (NOT into North Caliny). And human rights can never lag (Except in North Caliny). He'd rather talk forever than See rights denied to any man, Or he heathen tribe or savage clan— (Except in North Caliny). For Filipino wrongs he'll weep (But not for North Caliny). And bondage from the earth he'll sweep (But not from North Caliiny). The Southern vote trust is his stay. All other trusts are warned away. Down with concerns that wages pay!

CANN For Constable, Seattle SAMUEL KAUFMAN Who in the deuce and Tom Walker is "Doctor Coe" anyway? Such ungodly lies has Alden J. Times been telling in the Daily Liar that they have driven Gov. Rogers to bed. Judge Estee has made another "paramount issue" for the Bryanites, and they are taking advantage of the opportunity. We agree with you, Mr. Ronald, "you talk too darn much," and for talking too much you will be defeated all the same too much. Can you reasonably explain why you should vote for Bryan and Democracy? If you can do so, you are the only person in this whole land of ours that can. McKinley and Roosevelt are certainly the only political pebbles on the beach just now, though there be waves of Bryan that temporarily sweep over them. Seattle's school election next Saturday, November 4, promises to be a warm number, in which the enemies of Prof. Barnard are going to come out second best. A twenty thousand majority for "McKinley and Prosperity" is the watchword from now until the election. Is it a bargain? Then let every fellow and his brother up to his duty. Admiral Sampson is said to be dying at his home on account of the unjust censure that he has been subjected to by the general public. What a pity that Schley is not in his place. Who can successfully deny that Prof. Frank J. Barnard has not made a most excellent city superintendent of public education, and that, too, despite the claquings of a few illiterate nondescripts? Whose friend are you? If ours, you will advertise in The Seattle Republican, if nothing more than a small card, for enough of those make a most excellent showing when summed up together. Do not overlook this point. There are but two registered Chinese voters in Seattle, and it is reported that they will vote the Democratic ticket. It's ever thus the off-sourings of humanity in the United States always vote the Democratic ticket. Poor old Calderhead—his party is paying no attention to him. If he should manage to get a baker's dozen votes the Democratic central committee should not be blamed for it, as the committee has not done anything in that direction. The name of Seattle is enrolled among the great cities of the United States, white sleepy, old Tacoma snaps and snarls incessantly at the progress being made by the other. She is fast becoming submerged in her own dotage. Early in November it is the intention of the management of The Republican to begin a series of articles on "The Depravity of Man After He Has Once Wrecked a Bank." It will be of much local interest, you can bet. Mr. Strut (wick) seems to be an awfully good strut (er), but he cannot strut well enough to strut on the legal bench of the King county courts, and simply because his strut has a Democratic North Carolina move to it. When Democrats say that Cudibee is popular in the country they are simply talking through their hats, as neither they nor Cudibee knows whether he is either popular or unpopular in the country. Van De Vanter will beat the man a thousand votes in King county. Figures never make liars, but liars do make figures, and they make them in a hurry at that, and no better example of this can be cited than the Daily Liar of this city. It makes figures so fast that it does not remember one day the set of figures it made the previous day. Jim Ham Lewis brings news from the east that Bryan will be elected. We seem to remember that the same gentleman said that Col. James rilamilton Lewis would be re-elected by 20,000 majority, but he was not, and the same fate awaits Mr. Bryan. It is claimed that the Parnellites in the English parliament have been united and have decided to fight everything that comes before that body which is anti-Irish. Perhaps those Irishmen may agree, but, if they do, we are inclined to believe the milennium is not very far away. Walter Fulton knows good and well that he is doing nothing but deceived colored voters when he declares he will give some one of their number a position in his office should he be elected prosecuting attorney of King county. He will do nothing of the kind, for he will have no position in his office to give them. Bryan's 16 to 1 issue was never more properly depicted than in the half-tone appearing on the front page of this issue. Mr. Bryan's paramount issue of many years' standing makes about the same impression on the American voters as the sixteen crazy-looking squaws huddled about one miserable-looking ass makes on civilization. --- Four years ago British Columbia mines were selling coal in the markets of Puget Sound cities, and the native coal was a drag on the market, there being absolutely no demand. It is quite different now, for all of the coal that the Washington mines can put on the market is sold before it gets to the city, and it is not being shipped to Alaska or sent to India either. While Hon. John Sherman has been slowly but surely passing away for better than a year, yet the announcement of his death last Monday caused a strong man to stop and consider, for one of the master minds of the present age was no more. No man of his day was more conspicuous in public affairs than he, and he left a history from which nations unborn will quote with authority. Because President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, does not assist the Tacoma people run down Seattle and "kick against the pricks," the Tacoma News is of the opinion that Mr. Mellen is "playing one town against the other." No, no, neighbor, Mr. Mellen is not playing one town against the other, but he is playing off no business in Tacoma against business push in Seattle. No one doubts for a single minute but that Nelson Bennett, of Tacoma, will vote against Mr. Frink for governor. Nelson Bennett voted against John H. McGraw for governor eight years ago, but McGraw was elected in spite of McGraw's opposition, just as Frink will be. Bennett is a visionary old creature that is a failure at everything except bumping his head against a stone wall. Besides being a miserable failure, Mr. Bennett is also a political nuisance. Mr. Eugene Harris, who but a few short months ago was in Tennessee without a vote, is so well pleased with the free exercise of the franchise right since he has been in this state that he has even fallen down at the feet of the very party, and in some instances the very men, that disfranchised him when he was in Tennessee. Our opinion of the man that licks the hand that smites him the hardest is not a very exalted one. That Auburn weekly paper that claims to be Republican in politics and then solicits the cuts of Democratic candidates for publication on the ground that it is business, is not the kind of Republican paper that should receive reward in case of party success in the way of public work. "To the victor belongs the spoils," and likewise to the men that stand by their party without pay or remuneration belong the public patronage. With no intention whatever of throwing bonquets at ourselves, we desire to say that there is not another weekly newspaper in the Northwest that shows more enterprise than The Seattle Republican. The superior presswork on The Republican over other weekly papers this state is very apparent. Compare The Republican with all other weekly papers and it will require but a mere glance to see what paper is due the honor of having the list. Bishop Ireland unqualifiedly announces his determination to support McKinley and Roosevelt. Even religion takes a business turn at times. Bishop Ireland recalls the fact how easy it has been for him to raise money from his followers during the past four years, and remembers how it was just the opposite four years before that, and he does not desire to go through another four years like into that brought on by Clevelandism. In other words, he found out the difference when he went to suck. The ballot for King county will be about six and a half feet long and will contain enough names and parties to be voted for to confuse a Philadelphia lawyer. Now, we suggest that Republicans avoid trouble and perhaps the loss of their vote by placing a cross after "Republican Ticket," which votes for every Republican nominee. That can be done in five minutes; whereas, if you begin "cutting" your ballot, it will take you not less than half an hour to fix it up just like it ought to be. Charles Dudley Warner, the noted New England scholar and journalist, has joined the silent hosts of the great beyond. The great man died while on his way to the home of a colored man in whom he was much interested from an educational standpoint. How remarkable that this great human benefactor should die while performing an act in which he had spent a great part of his life, trying to better the condition of the Negro race of this country. In the historic archives of this republic the name of Charles Dudley Warner has been emblazoned in flaming letters, which will live on and on until time itself ceases to be. Once more has the pugnacious South ventured to cross swords with the North at the polls, and should the South be successful next November, God only knows what it would next try to do, but as it most ignominiously failed in 1865, so will it fail in 1900, the eve of a new century. No, "there is no North, no South, no East and no West in this country at present, and only one country and one flag," but that is true because the North is strong enough to make it so. The South stands ready to raise the very devil at any minute the North would relent its grasp on public affairs and give them the reins. The South is always a dangerous animal and the North should ever keep a vigilant watch over it. With the constituents of F. C. Robertson blowing up mines to pave the way for him to go to congress on, and the constituents of his brother shooting and lynching Negroes in Louisiana by the wholesale to pave the way for him to go to congress on the brotherly brace, should they ever meet in the national capital, each representing different states in congress, would make the speaker of the house open his eyes when they wanted a hearing. It would be to Washington's everlasting disgrace to elect Southern fire-cating bill-dozers to congress like Robertson and Ronald over two patriotic citizens like Jones and Cushman. In our opinion, the "old soldier" or the Negro that will vote for either of the former Southern renegades is totally devoid of either manhood or political patriotism. J. II.

"FLANNELLE FRANÇAISE" THE NEW OFFICE ROOM IS AGENTS PERSISTENCY by Susie Revels Canton "I do not believe," said Mrs. Crosby, "that it is at all necessary to be so hard on agents. They have a living to make, and one might give them a civil answer to a civil question." "But, said Mrs. Blanton, who was going through one of the most trying ordeals of the feminine world paying her first call on a new neighbor, "you have just moved to this Western country, Mrs. Crosby. You cannot yet appreciate the difference between the Eastern and Western agent. Out here their persistence often runs into impertinence." The above remarks was the remnant of a conversation on "things in general," and were uttered by the ladies as they stood in Mrs. Crosby's front door just prior to Mrs. Blanton's departure. Then, in the way of a bit of friendly pleasantry, Mrs. Blanton continued: "Take yourself, for instance, Mrs. Crosby. You are a stranger here; the agents will find that out and you will be besieged. Now, it will be either to impossible for you not to either use a real severe tone with some or buy some article of one week in so shy, a time as one week from today, "We'll it then," replied Mrs. Crosby, "and I'll let you know what I think of it one week from today." And she closed the door after her caller, feeling quite confident that she could maintain the stand she had taken. "Yes," she soilquized, "on one week from today I shall return her call so as to inform that I have used all gentleness imaginable, have not been imposed upon nor made a single purchase." That was Tuesday. Wednesday passed and not an agent called; but Thursday morning, just as Mrs. Crosby was busy in her morning duties, her door bell rang. On the threshold stood a middle-aged woman, who, the minute the door was opened, began: "Good morning, madam. I am canvassing an article of my own make—a first-class, up-to-date, five-clasped, double-stitched corset; done in black or tan; canvas, satin or silk, to suit the purchaser's taste. I have traveled all the way from Mexico to Nome with these stays and have fit women of every size and shape in the world, and I know I can give you a fit that will make you just the shape you ought to be." Mrs. Crosby felt inwardly wounded and not a little indignant at the doubtful compliment, but used gentleness, and finally got rid of her first agent. About an hour later and there was a timid tap upon her inner door, followed immediately by a woman's head, then her shoulders and next her entire body. Mrs. Crosby threw a hasty glance at the woman's hands. Yes, there it was—the little leather satchel—agent No. 2. "I thought you might not hear me, you know," she began, "so I made bold to just walk in to the inner door. What extracts do you generally use?" she asked, as she placed her open satchel upon the table, disclosing several rows of bottles filled with perfumes. Then without waiting for Mrs. Crosby to answer, she snatched up first one and then another of the bottles and, using the atomizers already attached, puffed the various extracts in Mrs. Crosby's face, on her hair and over her dress in rapid succession. When Mrs. Crosby got her breath and a chance to speak she said: "Don't dear. I never use perfumes and the various orients make me quite dizzy—in fact, sick on the stomach." Nor had she by any means recovered her equilibrium, although it was much later in the day, when an elderly man, a package resembling a book rucked under one arm, stopped at her door. Respect for his gray hairs and memories of her father back East, whose hair was also quite silvery, prompted her to more kindly receive him. Encouraged by her manner he entered the sitting room, took a to take up a few moments of her time, just to show her the prospectus of a book, a beautiful work on the late war in Cuba, which he was selling. Mrs. Crosby took a seat, the agent got out his glasses, rubbed them for several moments and then, adjusting them on the end of his nose, began at the first illustration in his book and slowly and carefully read the description printed underneath it, and so on through the entire book. "Remember, this is only a prospectus," he would occasionally pause to remark, as he looked at her over the rim of his glasses. "The real work contains many more pages." Mrs. Crosby inwardly rejoiced that she was being shown the prospectus only. So it went on through the entire week, but although she had been at times severely tried she neither had given a hasty answer nor made a single purchase. Tuesday, the last day of the week of trial dawned bright and clear, and Mrs. Crosby in great haste to complete her morning duties so as to go that afternoon in triumph to return Mrs. Blanton's call, when quite forcibly her door bell rang. The little woman who this time stood at her door, satchel in hand, was quite below the average height. She wore a neat, business skirt and a jaundy walking hat, while her early fall wrap fit her with great exactness. "Could you spare me three minutes of your time, madam?" she began. "Not this morning," replied Mrs. Crosey. "If you will call some other time—I am very busy. "Dear me," said the little woman quickly, "you are not the only 'busy woman' I've found this morning—just lots of them, but the ladies are always glad to see what I have. Madam," she continued, as she stepped into the hallway and lowered her voice to a stage whisper, "are you the only lady in the house?" "Yes, the only one," said Mrs. Crosey in a tone which the agent knew that she might enter, and she forthwith made a bee line for the sitting room. Where is the woman who does not want to see what all ladies like to see?—a some thing which concerns ladies alone Certainly she was not to be found in Mrs. Crosby. For curiosity had driven the tiny frowns from her forehead and she followed the agent into the sitting room. "I'll not detain you but a few minutes," said she, as she placed a small, black satchel upon the table. Taking from its depths a long, pink circular she asked, "Do you ever use any kind of face salve or skin tonic?" Then without waiting a reply, she went on, "I have here a salve that will do more in three nights than any other will in three weeks. Others may do good, but this is a quicker and shorter route to the same results." "I never use anything soap and water on my face," said Mrs. Crosby. "No? You but you, my dear woman. Don't you kno what after one reaches the twieses the tissues in the face begin to die and so need stimulating. This article I have here is just the thing to do with. This piece of paper I hold in my hand costs one dollar. If you have not got it you can get the paper, for on it is the recipe, which will clean up any face, remove wrinkles, crow's feet and premature lines on the human countenance—now baffles it is the way you use it. You take a seat and just dip the end of your fingers into the salve, place your elbows on a table so, suiting her action to the words, "and massage your face so" and she punched first here and then on her face with seeming great enjoyment. "I do this every night of my life," said she, smiling sweetly at Mrs. Crosby. "My, I don't think I could find that much time every night to spend in massaging my face," remarked Mrs. Crosby. "Indeed you could, my dear woman, when once you saw the results of a few night's treatment. There is nothing like it, and we owe it to our fellow men to look just as young as can, as long as we can. But if you are going to be too lazy to use it, madam, take my advice, don't buy it. Let some other woman who wants to get rid of her crow's feet have it. But let me show you the touch," and she made such a sudden leap over to where Mrs. Crosby sat that lady could not resist a smile, even if her face was being forbibly pinched, squeezed, patted and punched. "You see, one cannot have a glove for the face as for the hand, and little wonder it is that the tissue, always exposed to heat and cold, sun or storm, harden and make the face look old," chirped the rapid manipulator. "Let me tell you," she continued, as she took a seat in a rocker and complacently began to sway to and fro with a most homelike air, "of a woman I met yesterday; she is quite elderly, has a face full of wrinkles, took this recipe and sample box at once, and thanked me, too, for bringing it to her. She said she was soon to be married to a rich Klondiker—a young man at that. Just think of it! And she wanted to clean her face up. Now, I don't approve of May and January marrying, but I can vouch for one thing, she will marry with a clean, healthy face if she uses that salve." Then followed many other experiences, laughable and varied. "You seem to get quite a bit of enjoyment out of your business," finally remarked Mrs. Crosby. "Don't I thought," she answer. "Human nature is a study—a revelation. the nine years I spent canvassing in Chicago would fill books, and I would not erase the memory of them from my mind, not for gold." And once again she began to pour forth the praises of her face salve. Mrs. Crosby had never met her equal. True, during this week of trial, she had suffered from daily visits from the life insurance man, the machine agent had called several times to convince her that her machine was not up to date, while the various stove polish men had tall of the stoves in the house spotted in every conceivable degree of black, and yet she had gotten rid of them all, but this woman with her face tonic was utterly too much for Mrs. Crosby. "You can't imagine how soon what few lines you have on your face would disappear, madam, under this treatment. Won't you try it? My word for it, you will never regret it." urged the persuasive voice of the agent. Mrs. Crosby glanced at the clock—twenty minutes to twelve. She remembered that Mr. Crosby was a very patient man, almost an ideal husband, yet he had one great weakness—he liked to have his luncheon on time. Mrs. Crosby had to take some final step, and that, too, in a few moments. When Mr. Crosby had come home and eaten his luncheon he stood for a moment in the doorway, putting a speedy end to a third toothpick. "Still thinking of going over to call on Mrs. Blanton, wife?" he casually remarked. "No, I shan't be in any great hurry to return Mrs. Blanton's call," replied Mrs. Crosby, as she threw a hasty glance to a side table on which lay a long pink paper containing a recipe and a small white sample jar of a face tonic. And all the way back to his office Mr. Crosby was trying to figure out what could have changed Mrs. Crosby's mind about calling on Mrs. Blanton so completely since morning. Rogers has dropped "Robertson, Ronald and Record" and is striking boldly out for Rogers and Republicanism.

Both Tacoma and Spokane and even Everett are away ahead of Seattle in that particular. There is not even a restaurant or a lunch counter in all Seattle run by a colored person.

Bailey has been doing a bit of quiet Republican missionary work for the past ten days or more. Mr. Frank Abrahams is still very sick on account of the injuries he received in the street car wreck some ten days ago. The members of "The Hottest Coon in Dixie" have been well entertained by their many friends in the city during the past week. Mr. D. W. Griffin was doing Spokane the first of the week. He went over to make a few Democratic votes, but found his task a very difficult one, and soon returned to Seattle. Thanksgiving day is slowly but surely coming this way, and the number of new dresses that's being made for the occasion among the Afro-American ladies of the city is something wonderful. Mr. Fritz Keeble, of Tacoma, has opened a first-class barber shop, 233 Morrison street, corner Fifth. Mr. Keeble has for years past conducted one of the finest barber shops in Tacoma. On his arrival in our city he saw a fine chance and has taken the advantage of opening at once. We wish him success—New (Portland) Age. "A YOUNG WIFE." "A Young Wife," which was such a success in New York last season, will be seen here at the Grand Opera House the week commencing Sunday, October 28. The play is by J. K. Tillotson, an author of much repute, who has several successful plays to his credit. "A Young Wife" is a play that is clean and wholesome, with no hint of horseplay. There is pathos enough to touch tender sentiments and enough of the tragic side of life to interest those A YOUNG WIFE BY J.K. TILLOTSON "You haven't a husband—have you?" that enjoy this sort of thing. The plot is laid in the two extremes of New York life. The opening and closing scenes being in a beautiful suburban residence and the intermediate action taking place in the slums of New York. Miss Ethelyn Palmer, who takes the character of Ethel Douglas, the young wife, is a young actress of decided beauty and great talent. There is an elaborate setting of the various scenes, and all the stage effects employed in the New York production of the piece will be given on this occasion. Hoyt's A Stranger in New York. When many of Hoyt's amusing farce-comedies are forgotten, his laughable satire on a stranger's life in New York City, entitled "A Stranger in New York," which comes to the Seattle theater for four days, starting next Sunday night, will continue to delight theater-goers. It is one of the best efforts of the popular playwright, and those who see "A Stranger in New York" once always want to see it again. The humor of the piece is of such a broad character that it is no exaggeration to say that it is one continuous laugh from beginning to end. The company this season is considered the best ever seen in the play, and includes a number of people who created the parts they are still playing. Sunday, October 28, and three nights following. Gordon's Minstrels Are the attraction at the Third Avenue theater next week, opening Sunday, and a great attraction they are. There is not a better troupe of artists in America today than those Mr. Larkin has gathered together this season. You will not listen to a collection of more popular songs, "past plantation" jokes than those of these artists. However, songs and jokes do not compose the programme. There are stories to tell, speeches on the "issues of the times," which are given in an inimitable way, always calling forth roars of rippling laughter; the great Crescent City Quartette, in its melodies and imitations, has no equal; musical artists and absurdities, athletic and acrobatic specialities, dancing by white and colored folks and all executed in a way that is eminently Nice desk room can be had at this office, 712 Third Avenue.
