The Cancer still continues to deny
that Banks demanded that candidates
for positions ON the republican ticket
should endorse his temperance resolu-
lions, and does it repeatedly against
made the demands personally. 1t is a
notorious fact that Banks did this
very. thing. 1t is not necessary to
produce proof of any such thing, be-
cause all the people knowitto be true.
Pretty soon the Cancer will deny there
is any such man as Banks, and after
election it will be in order for it to
deny that there are any such men as
Bloomfield and Daniels.

Because they controlled the conven-
ton which nominated many of the
county officers who have served Clarke
county, Bloomfield and Daniels fiatter
themselves into the belief that they
have elected them. They did not
cast the votes-it was the people of
Clarke county who did it. Bloomfield
and Daniels may nominate, but they
have found it another thing to elect,
As the result two years ago shows.
This year they have again given away
the nominations, but will again be
unable to deliver the goods Always
engaged in trading away one nomina-
ton to shut this mans mouth, trad
ing away another nomination to get
that mans influence, resorting to all
the tricks Of the machine to keep, the
party organization within their con-
troll, they have alienated the majority
Of the republicans from the ticket,
with most disastrous results, which
are shown by comparing the votes of
the last three elections. In 1876, when
they commenced to lead, all the re-
publican candidates were elected, for
the party was united. and working
harmsniously. In 1878 dissensions
commenced, and faction of the re-
publican party split of. One demo-
crat was elected that year. In 1880
these would-be leaders drew strong
rein, and prevented the nomination Of
men whom the people wanted. The
result was peoples ticket and the
loss Of six candidates on the republic
can ticket. This year by the bull-doz-
dozing and trickery Of Bloomfield and
Daniels the breach IL further widened,
and there is not the slightest doubt Of
the defeat Of the entire republican
ticket in this contest These men can

One of the curiosities of the political
situation in Clarke county, Washing
ton Territory, is seen in the triple al
lance of Bloomfield, Banks and Dam
iels, in forcing the temperance issue
upon the republican party as party
issue. A well sounding name is the
great moral reform firm of Bloomfield
and Banks. The two great temper
ance workers of the age have yoked
together for mutual advancement.
Banks character as portrayed both in
public apd private for the last two
years adds great strength to Mr.. Bloom
fields prospects. 1t is undoubtedly
just the support he was lacking and
must have. At the same time he finds
it convenient when talking to friend
of the saloon keepers to say that un-
less he has their support he will do all
he can against them if he Is elected.
Here we have it in his usual style,
water on both shoulders and a full
load.

The Cancer says "the average poll
tician does not deal in proper poll
tics" 1t thus very correctly defines
the exact status of its masters, Bloom
field, Banks and Daniels. They run
politics for themselves first and the
people last. They are always candi-
dates for something themselves, and
have a slate ready made up for the
people to endorse. They managed for
six years by machine work to get pos
session of the primaries and county
conventions, and yet they deny that
they have ever done any bossing when
it is we'll known they have run the re-
publican county conventions for six
years past, until they have finally sue
ceeded in running their party into the
ground.

N. H. Bloomfield's progress as an
office seeker is recorded in Clarke
county by the votes he received for
prosecuting attorney. In 1875 he had
66 majority, in 1878 he had 3s majority,
in 1880 the other man had 81 majority
and in 1882 the other man will proba-
bly, have $50 majority. The signifi-
canoe of the vote is seen in the fact
that in 1880 Brents had $50 majority
in this county, while Bloomfield was
short 81 votes of keeping even with his
opponent. For six years his vote has
been growing small by degrees and
beautifully less. 1t is impossible for
such men to lead any party to success.

Expressions come to us from the
people on all sides that the most con-
temptible trick of the political ma
chine run by Bloomfield and Daniels
yet brought to light was the foisting
of Bloomfield upon us as candidate
for the legislature, against the ex-
pressed wish of the Clarke county del
egates and against the wishes of nine
tenths of the people of Clarke county.
The men who set him up will have to
furnish the votes-Clarke county will
have none of it.

all sat down to table to enjoy the many
luxuries thereon, and one thing worthy of
special note was that two yellow boys"
came round to shake hands with the
preacher, which were thankfully received,
kindly treated and invited into the little
''parlor" which was lined with buckskin,
where there were not many friends to dis
turb their comfort. The presents were as

The bossing in the republican party
of Bloomfield and Daniels and their
tools was SO far reaching even two
years ago that half the session of the
Territorial republican convention was
taken up in an endeavor to heal the
division they had made in the party
ranks, and the convention got rid of
the affair without settling it, by the
making of trades for candidates. While
the matter was before the convention
somespeeches were made condemn
ing the political methods practised by
Bloomfield and men of his ilk. Speak
ing on this subject Gen. Sprague said
1.-THE committee ION credentials could
see unfairness in the Clarke county
convention, and in the secret caucus,
and that there was too much machine
management. 1 am not in favor Of
such methods, and would dsnounce
them in Clarke, in King, in Pierce, or
any other county. 1 would have q
free expression OF sentiment every
whore among republicans, denounc-
ing the secret caucus as anti-republi-
can in spirit. II the people want to
rebuke such machine work they must
apply the severe remedy, go to the
polls and vote down the work and
nominees Of the machine"
These were the words of General
Sprague, taken down as bespoke them,
and coming from such . high source
1t is not = fiattering endorsement Of
Bloomfield aud Daniels in their politi-
cal methods. The people Of Clarke Co.
will take the advice Of Gen. Sprague,
and they will 60 to the polls with the
avowed puIpsss Of voting down the
work and nominees Of the machine.
