answer was: "rell your master tina,

The point he intended and made was
that he himself knew enough to hold his
tongue. There is fully as much in

spoke as follows:
The American people never settled
but one great question in Il single
presidential election. There may be
other issues, but there is always one
that leads, and in the end, absorbs
popular attention. The issue in 1884
is the question of a protective tariff
on the one side against free trade on
the other. Some republicans in the
state of New York have left us be-
cause they are free traders. They
have acted wisely. Laughter. If
they want free trade the proper thing
for them to do is to Join the demo.
cratic party; but for those who want
the protective tariff Continued, the
proper thing for them is to adhere t.
to the republican party. Any man
who has decided convictions on that
question should remain and abide with
the republican party. On the other
hand, any man who has decided views
in favor of free trade will better carry
out those views by joining the demo
cratic party.

The 7aoiitkcai Situation.

WE are on the eve of a great po'
litical battle, and it is important that
every voter should carefully weigh
his responsibility in the part he as
sumes in casting his vote for one or
the other of the presidential candi-
dates, The fight, this year. is one
of the people against corruption. 1t
is Cleveland and reform against Blaine
and monopoly. 1t is an effort for
lower taxes against a sentiment pro-
nouncedly in favor of the present in
iquitous high tariff. Blaine's letter
of acceptance dissipates all doubt on
this point, and, without entering at
all into the we'll established charges
of Blaine's personal corruption. we
say to the farmers of this county
that the republican presidential can
didate and the platform on which he
stands are both committed to inter
ests in no way identified with theirs.
A high protective tariff means wealth
for eastern manufacturers, with high
prices for the goods they manufac.
ture, and poverty for our farme.s,
with low prices for all their products.
Wheat has been falling lower and
lower, but the necessaries of life are
still sold to the farmers at nearly the
same high figures. The condition OF
their pocket books should tell them a
story that no amount of political
speech making could gainsay.
In regard to the congressional can.
didStes, we can recommend Hon. l..
l.. Baxter as man we'll worthy of Il
hearty support. not only of his own
party, but of those independent voters
who can rise above the matter of 4
mere formal party nomination. The
republicans of this district have ex.
pressed sentiment favorable to a
reduction of the tariff. Let them
now speak at the polls, and by their
ballots accomplish something for
themselves by electing Mr.. Baxter
who will be in sympathy with u free
trade congress.
To the voters of this legislative dis
trict we would urge that they cast theil
ballots for Messrs. Wells and Becker.
Both of these gentlemen are we'll and
favorably known, and will represent
the best interests of this district in a
manner that will be satisfactory to
all.
The county ticket requires but a
passing notice. The candidates on
the democratic ticket are men who
lave been tried and found faithful To
the trusts confided to them. The
candidate for sheriff, Mr.. Charles Z.
Maginnis, possesses all the qualiiica
tions necessary to make good sher,
iff, and in trying times like these
when the services of the sheriff are,
| unfortunately. too often called into
requisition, the people of Stevens
county, irrespective OF party, will be
inclined to endorse his past record a,
sheriff. and to say emphatically at the
polls next Tuesday, "Well done, good
and faithful servant"

questioned, nor have his qualification,
for the office to which he has beer
nominated. There is not well-in
formed man in Stevens county who
will dispute the fact that Henry
Baldwin, 10y reason of his experience
as clerk and Of his great knowledge OF
land Office matters, is better qualified
to fill this position than any other man
in the county. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Larson, who is opposing Mr..
| Baldwin, does not desire the office,
and, indeed, consented very reluct-
antly TO permit the use of lis name.
| In fact, il is our belief that he was
| placed upon the ticket simply to
strengthen the other candidates. who
are probably more ambitious than
discreet. However, unless we are
vastly mistaken, Mr. Larson will let
these gentlemen enjoy themselves in
pulling out their own chestnuts.
Mr.. Albert Reilly has long been
a resident of this county and is we'll
worthy the support Of The people for
the office Of Register of Deeds, the
duties of which are mainly clerical
and require the close attention of the
incumbent. No man should be elect
I'd who cannot give his entire time
to the office. Mr.. Wlington the op
posing candidate for this office has
large interests here and elsewhere
that demand his attention. and from
parties in the town of Scott we learn
that Mr.. Wellington has not filed
acceptably the duties If the office to
which he was elected in that town
but has in fact neglected them almost
altogether. Voters should and will
remember that no matter how hum
ble the trust. man who accepts
should execute it to the best of his
ability.
Mr.. Judd Thompson having been
defeated for the nomination has an
nounced himself as an independent
candidate for this office. presumably
for the purpose Of electing Mr.. We'll
lington. 1t is plain TO every sane
man in Stevens county that he has as
muck chance of election us Mrs. Bel
va Lockwood has of being elected
president.
We particularly desire to call the
attention of the voters in Hancock
and the southern part Of the county If
indeed there should be any one there so
unwary as to contemplate voting for
liim) to the fact that Nh. Thompson
candidacy looks directly to the eiec-
tion of Mr.. Wellington. We go into
this that tie public may be informed,
and not because we deem it impor.
tant. Mr, Thompson, in our opinion
will not poll one hundred votes in
the county. and Mr.. Reilly will be
elected.
The county will not suffer by the
election of DR.. S. II. Duley to the
office of Coroner. to which lie has
been nominated, and for which he
is ell qualified.
Of Mr.. C. l.. Brown and Mr.. D. t.
Wheaton it is useless to speak, as
these gentlemen have no opposition
any where.
Mr.. Riordan, candidate for Com
missioner in the fourth district, is
man much respected by all who know
him, and would serve the county
if elected.
In the fifth district Hon. Reuben
n. Richardson is the democratic cam
didate. Mr.. Richardson is an old
and honored citizen whom the people
in the past, have elevated to positions
of trust which he filed with honor
and credit, and the indications are
that he will soon again be honored in
the same way.
