SPIRIT OF THE CANVASS

The most encouraging reports came
from the river and Eastern counties.
Mr.. Judson has strengthened the fav-
orable opinion of his ability wherever
he has appeared, and the indications
are that he will be supported very gen.
orally by Republicans, as we'll as the
Independents and his own party, at the
ballot-box. Many of these supporters
have never voted a Democratic ticket,
but recognize the imperative necessity
of abandoning for time, not the ship
in which they have sailed, but the crew
that had driven her upon the shoals and
we'll nigh to destruction. The same
spirit which prevailed during the men,
orable canvass made by the lamented
Judge McFadden, appears to actuate
the people now, and that it may be
as productive of good results appears
to be the fervent wish of all.
The handwriting on the wall is too
plain to be concealed from public view.
Judge Jacobs has been weighed and
found wanting. He will discover that
the people have too much regard for
the interests of the Territory to allow
party zeal to blind them to their duty.
In this county the battle is already
conceded to Mr.. Judson by those whose
opinion is founded upon close obser-
servation and thorough knowledge
of the people and their sympathies.

DON'T BELONG TO OUR PARTY,

The old Knickerbocker Magazine, un
der the editorship of Lewis Gaylord
Clark, was famous, twenty or thirty
years ago, for its out-of-the-way anec
dotes. Among them was one concern
lug party which existed in one of tn,
Southern States, about the time of th,
first election of General Washington t.
the Presidency, called the "Johr
Jones' party"
The said Jones, after whom the party
took its name, was man of talent, q
plotting, shrewd fellow, with a good
deal Of Yankee cunniog;" in short
possessing all the requisites of sue
cessful politician, except personal popu
larity. To overcome this deficiency
of which he was we'll aware, especially
in contest with q popular candidate
for Congress-John Jones early avowed
himself as the peculiar and devoted
friend of General Washington; and on
this safe ground, as he thought, he en-
deavored to place his rival in opposition.
In order to carry this out more effect
ually, he called meetingin his county,
of call those friendly to the election
of General Washington"
On the day appointed, Mr.. John
Jones appeared, and was, on the cut
and-dried motion of friendly adherent,
made chairman of the meeting. He
opened the proceedings by high and
carefully-studied eulogium upon the
life and service of Washington, but
taking care only to speak of himself as
his early patron and most devoted
friend. He concluded his remarks by
q proposition to form a party, to be
called "The True and only Sons OF the
Father of his Country" and for that
object he submitted to the meeting q
resolution something like the following:
Resolved, That we are the friends of
General George Washington, and will
sustain him in the coming election
against all competitors.
Gentlemen, said Mr.. Jones, after
reading the resolution, the chair is now
about to put the question. The chair
hopes that every man will declare his
sentiment, either for or against the reso-
luton. All those in favor of the resolu-
ton will please to say Aye!'"
A laundering "Aye!" shook the very
walls of the building. The united
voices were like the "sound Of many
waters"
CHOW, gentlemen, for the oppose
ton, said John Jones. All those who
are contrary-minded will please to say
No. ="
Not solitary voice was heard. The

strings"
Those who read the Olympian since
itpassed under it's present management,
cannot fail to be struck with the cleri-
cal twang impaired to its editorials
by the inspired pens which now indite
its leaders. We would not complain
of this, if it had not become a con-
coded fact that when a preacher leaves
his pulpit to wallow in the filthy pool
that he can descend lower and grovel
deeper than ninety and nine sinners.
We have already picked several of
these clerical bubbles, and shown their
fragile nature but they rise in rapid
succession in response to the vigorous
blasts, and our space is too valuable to
continue the diversion. We have but
space now to allude to an article en-
titled "Union Soldiers to the Front, in
which it is claimed that the Kalama
Convention was composed of men who
During the late Democratic rebellion
were soldiers in the Union army, several
of them bearing about in their bodies
Democratic bullets and the sad effects
Of Democratic shells" What folly it is
for men in this enlightened age to at
tempt to hoodwink the people by such
falsehood and deception! And how
low such men postitute their sacred
calling by sophistry and special plead
ing! History proves that the flower of the
Union army-the brains which directed
its movements, and the muscle and
Drawn which carried it to successful
termination-was drawn largely from
the Democratic ranks; and the states
manship which originated the impor-
tant measures for restoring the national
honor emanated mainly from the same
source. The people are not fools, and
are as capable of passing judgment
upon matters of history as those who
claim to be imbued with the spirit of
righteousness while their acts prove
that the milk of "human kindness"
never flows through their veins.

OF Christian charity,

CO In all kindness we ask Bro. Murphy if
it is not about time for him to kick the rene
gade temperance editor out of the Democratic
party ?-Olynlpian.
The Republican daily paper is devo-
ting more attention to small subjects
than they deserve. The position of
anybody who sings the editorial " we'
as clumsily as the renegade temper
ance editor" is of little Importance on
any subject to men of common sense.

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. /, 1876.


The Democracy have reason to feel
proud of the ability represented on their
judicial ticket. Mr.. Cation, late efficient
representative of Walla-walla county in
the Legislative Assembly, is too old a
resident and too we'll known to require
anv encomiums from us. The same is
true of that sturdy veteran in the cause
of right, Hon. Columbia Lancaster. In
the Third District, however, our candi-
date is not so we'll known. Mr.. W. H.
White while he is the peer of his associ-
ates just named in ability as we'll as intes-
ritv of character, has not been resi-
dent of the Territory long enough to
form that extended acquaintancesbip
possessed by them, and brief review
of the prominent incidents of his life is
required at this time. Mr.. White was
born in Brooke county, virginia, in
1912. In 1859, he commenced an
academic course at Vermillion 1nsti-
tute, Ashland county, Ohio. In 1862,
he enlisted as a private soldier in Com
pany B, 1920 Ohio Volunteer Infantry
and served in this regiment until the
close of the war. This regiment was
one of the celebrated Twentieth Army
Corps, (Jos Hooker's) and participated
in the campaign from the Ohio river to
the capture of Atlanta, and also in all
the operations against Hood in the
memorable Nashville campaign. II
September, 1864, Mr.. White while il
command of his company as First Ser
geant, in an engagement with Genera
Forests troops, at Athens, Alabama
was severely wounded and captured by
the enemy. He remained in theil
hands about two weeks, when he was
recaptured. In May, 1865, at Hunts
Vile, Alabama, Mr.. White, on account
of his wound, was mustered out of the
service. In 1865, he cast his first Dem
ocratic vote for General George H
Morgan for Governor of Ohio, anc
since that time has been an arden
Democrat. Previous to this, however
he was Republican and had voted TO,
John Brough and Abraham Lincoln
In 1867, he returned to his native
State, and finished his professional
studies. In 1871, he first came t.
Washington Territory and located a
Seattle. He remained there about two
years, and then returned to the East
In 1874, he returned, and is now per
manently located at Seattle. As {
lawyer Mr.. White stands at the head o.
his profession, and as an orator HI
ranks second to none in the Territory
These qualifications are essential for q
proper discharge of the duties of pub
lie prosecutor, and there is not shadow
Of doubt but that they will meet with
recognition at the polls.

The REASON WHIT has been OBJ
served the past few days that the
Olympian has manifested an unusually
strong antipathy towards Hon. N. T.
Cation, the Democratic candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney for the First Ju-
dicial District, but the reason for this
ill-will has not been apparent to the
public eye. We propose to lift cor
ner of the veil just far enough to dis
close the animus which prompts these
attacks. A few days ago the grand
Lodge of Masons met in this place,
and the financial interests of the pro-
prietor of the Olynapian were repre-
scented by Bagley pere, who insisted
that two or three hundred extra pages
should appear in the published pro-
ceedings, in order that Clarence and
his friend Gum might "turn an honest
penny in printing the annual volume.
Mr.. Cation exposed the object of this
proposition, and as consequence has
incurred the violent animosity of the
Bagleys and their immediate personal
adherents. Mr. Cation is entitled to
the thanks of the Order, and was hon
ored for his vigilance and promptitude
as the vote on the proposition amply
attests. The sooner the editor of the
Olympian realizes that lodges cannot
be run by the WORKOUT machinery
used in Republican conventions, the
less frequent will be his disappointment
over baf1ed plans and defeated expecta'
tons. The public should bear these
facts in mind whenever the Olympia,'
vents its spleen at Mr.. Cation.

the attitude of the Republican party
before the country are too obvious to
escape the observation of the most I'M
observant. They are at once the nee
essary results of its desperate fortunes
and the prophecies of its impending
disintregation and overthrow. It
proclaims itself in favor of reform of
the Public service; it denies that there
exists any necessity for such reform.
It persists that it is not responsible
for Grantism; its party platform
endorses Grantism in it's entirety,
and the candidates oppose the plat
form. 1t processes to favor economy
and retrenchment i'll public expendi-
lures; it has most strenuously with
stood every attempt to reduce extrava-
giant and needless appropriations. 1t
claims to be for hard money, and
specie resumption; for the past eleven
years it has done nothing but cheat the
country with broken promises and a
dishonored currency, while it has
squandered in fraud and corruption
the colossal revenues collected from
taxation. 1t has boosted for a decade
past that it had restored the Union and
reconstructed the South, its chief po-
litical capital of to-day is that the I'm
ion is not restored and that the South
is not reconstructed. 1t has professed
to be an especial guardian of American
honor; it has brought disgrace upon
the American name at every court i'll
Europe, by maintaining thereat incom-
petent and dishonest agents. While
the nation is rejoicing at the fraternal
reunion as seen at Boston, Charleston
and Philadelphia, this party is seen
going about like mousing bats and
hyenas amid the ashes and smolderinG
ruins of the late lamentable civil strife.
