ELECTIoNEERING SToRY.-Mr. S. C.
Harris, Republican candidate for Auditor,
is, We are informed, engaged In privately
circulating the story that Judge Burke,
in his presence, raised his hand and made
oath that he would never, under any cir
cumstanccs, vote for a Republican. Those
whs personally know Judge Burke will
give no credence to this story. He has
been elected Judge Of Probate twice by
Republican votes, and at every election
in this county there has been large in
tcrchange of votes; Republicans voting
for Democratic candidates and Democrats
voting for Republican candidates. When
Judge Jacobs was first candidate, he
received over 200 Democratic votes in
this county; giving him 440 majority,
where Judge McFadden recsived 17S
majority two years before, At the same
election Capt. Hill was elected Treasurer
and Mr.. Wyckoff elected Sheriff by Dem>
ocratic votes, without which they would
both have been defeated. At the same
election Mr.. Bootk was elected Auditor
by Republican and Democratic votes
combined. Two years ago the same cam
didates were elected, together with Judge
Burke, the Democratic candidates by Re-
publican votes and the Republican candi-
dates by Democratic votes. Mr.. Brents,
at the same election, received the votes
of many Democrats, including the editor
of this paper, upon the question of plat
form. on which he now stands as the
candidate of the other side.
If "Vane" proposes to risk the chances
of his election by tying to Brents, he is
the last person who should urge his own
claims upon strictly party issue. 1t will
call public attention to the fact that two
years ago, after having been defeated for
nomination in convention, he announced
himself, in published card, as an ''inde.
pendent candidate and bolter, and had
to be propitiated. 1t was understood.
that he would have repeated that experi-
ment this year If Slorah had beer nomi>
mated. The young man has many per
sonal friends in both political parties.
but will not add to his friends b. agsail-
ing the personal integrity Of Judge Burke
n behalf of Brents,

abundantly satisfactory to the friends of
Judge Burke, and greatly exceeded their
anticipations both in numbers and results.

AN AsTuTE ATToRNEY-Mr. White
relates circumstance which occurred
in Court several years ago, between Mr..
Brents and himself, which illustrates the
astuteness OF Brents. A man of props
erty had been convicted Of manslaughter
and sentenced to the penitentiary. The
statutes of the Territory provided that
the family of the murdered man might be
awarded judgment against the murderer
in amount not exceeding five thousand
dollars. In this case Mr. Brents brought
suit in behalf of the widow and children
OF the murdered man against his slayer,
and employed Judge DenCison to assist
him in the prosecution. The defendant
sent for Mr.. White and proposed to re-
tain him tor his defence. After examin>
ing the testimony upon which the man
was convicted, Mr.. White advised him
not to waste any money in defending the
SUIT; his case was utterly hopeless. But
upon his urgent pleading, Mr.. White
undertook the case with only the bare
possibility of getting reduction of the
maximum damages. The facts wore all
admitted and the case submi ted to the
jury to award the amount of Judgment.
Judge Dennison made an eloquent appeal
in behalf of the widow and orphans which
drew tears from the jurymen and left
Mr.. White nothing to hope. But he was
bound to say something, and he told -
hat whatever judgment they aw

1 Rousing Meeting.

By far the largest politicl meeting ever
held in Seattle assembled at Yesler's Hall
on last Monday evening. The hall and
stage were packed to their utmost cspac
lty and the windows removed so that the
hundreds upon the outside who were
unable to gain admission could hear the
speakers. The meeting was presided
over by A. NJ. Snyder, Esq, backed by a
large number Of Vice Presidents. con-
siderable portion of whom were seme Of
the most respectable and in anentiai Re-
pubicans IN the county, ~"ted
to have their names public
supporters OF Judge Bur
to Congress.
William r. Andrews, -.
Prosecuting Attorney, first addres-
meeting, explaining forcibly and logical
ly his rcas ons for voting for Democratic
candidates Tor the first time in his .ife,
and why his Republican friends, who had
the real interests Of the Territory more
at heart than = mere party triumph,
should do the same. The speaker is one
of our own boys, of home growth and
culture, and his remarks were listened to
with manifest surprise and satisfaction
by many who had known him from child
hood and had not before learned to up
preclate his manly qualities and vigorous
intellect. He discussed, in we'll chosen
words and flushed sentences, general
issues entirely free from offensive person.
alities, not once alluding to the fact OF
his own candidacy. Those who appreci-
ate true worth and manly dignity will
not forget it on election day.
Judge Burke followed in q speech of
an hour and half in duration, which
fully sustained his reputation as pro-
found thinker and accomplished orator,
and was listened to with wrapped atten-
tion by the crowded audience, uninter-
rupted by anything but the occasional
spontaneous applause which testified to
his power to interest and convince. He
spoke only of those matters which were
OF common interest to all, entirely free
from party bias, and only alluded to his
opponent in the most corteous terms
All who listened to the speech free from
party prejudice could but be impressed
with the conviction that in sending Judge
Burke to Washington as our agent we
would have = man whose ability and
department would command respect and
influence with men Of all parties. We
need not repeat any of the arguments
which nearly all of our readers have
either heard or will have opportunity
of hearing during the canvass.
w. H. White, Esq, addressed the meet
ing in one of his happiest moods, in that
lnimitable style for which he is famous.
The manner in which he showed up poor
Brents and his hackers brought down the
house sgnin and again in roars of ap-
plause. The contrast between the two
candidates which he presented was very
damaging to the pretensions of Brente.
The meeting was in every respect

Don'i Forget 1t.

For the ordinary purposes of Dele
gate in Congress-who has NO vote upon
any measurc-it is of little consequence
what his political sentiments or party af>
filiations are at home, if he has the abili-
ty OF a statesman and the address of =
gentleman, which qualifications are =
guarantee that he will not make himself
offensive by meddling with party matters
in which he has no voice or vote. But
upon the question of the admission of q
State INTO the Union, under the discre-
tionary power of Congress, at a time
when the admission Of Representative
and two Senators additional may posi-
bly, change the political complexion Of
either branch of Congress, it is matter
of the first importance that the Delegate
should not only he in political affiliation
with the dominant party in Congress, but
that majority Of his constituents should
be in like position. That is the common
sense of the thing. The election of a
Democratic D Iegate Is not conclusive OF
n Democratic majority in the Territory
without a Democratic majority in the
Territorial Legislature to back him. The
two together would present an indispu-
table case one Democratic and the other
Republican divides the issue. Do not
forget this when casting your votes for
Delegate and members Of the Legisla-
ture. The admission of State with a
less population than would entitle it tn
Representative is discretionary with
Congress. Though a majority of the
States, since the first thirteen, were adj
mitted on less population than that ol
Washington, no party majority in Cons
gress has ever admitted State OF adj
verse politics on such terms. II, there
fore, the people OF Washington desire tc
throw off their colonial vassalage and
carpet-bag rule and become free citizens
of an Independent State, their only pre-
sen; hope rests in the election of Dem
ocratic Delegate and Territorial Legisla-
ture. The Democrats hold the Senat,

They become by practice adopts in polit-
ical intrigue and skilled in the art Of
playing upon the popular sentiment and
arrousing popular sympathy, and can
only be dislodged by persistent and vig-
orous action. We have such combina-
ii n to meet in this county--tireless and
unscrupulous, fruitful in expedients, ex-
pert in sophistry and amply supplied
with the resources which control the
mercenary and indifferent, OF which every
community has an abundant supply. It
is not enough that the better sentiment
of the people condemns the machine poll

trolled ia our public affairs. 1t is not
enough that We present ticket of un-
sxceptionable character, acknowledged by
the candid and Intelligent portion of all
parties to be the best ever presented TO
the people of'King county. We have
yet to meet earnest, persistent snd un>
scrupulous efforts, backed by unbounded
means of corruption. If We rely upon
the spontaneous action of the people to
overcome these, We may as well give up
the fight first as last. The capacity of
the people for self government is theo>
retically true. but it needs to be supple-
mentcl with recognition of the fact that
" eternal vigilance IS the price of liberty"
AT present our people seem to take it for

and the machine ticket rejected simply

long, and screws into the breech. The
uaRa zines have the excellencert that they
can be- charged as easily when on the
gun as when of, and when in moderate
use the charges in the magazines can be
held In reserve for emergencies. The
great gun is competent to throw shot,
shell and grape, changing from one TO
