on or two instances. Charles is not
invulnerable by long shot, and as
retaliation is one Of the evils OF 6
campaign he will hear things very
unpleasant II that system is con
tlnued.
Arrangements will be made tC
give our people a dose of political
palaver before long, at which time
that gallant soldier and royal gentle.
man Maj. Armstrong will say some
thing to his townsmen and personal
friends.
1t has never been denied that
Spokane county is strongly republi.
can, and this year without split in
Its ranks It will have a surprise in
store for the democracy.
In looking over the republican
county ticket 1--WE can see no reason
why every man should not be elect
ed. We presume democrats study
their ticket and think the same way.
True they have good one and we
will be sorry to see the sacrifice.
Our city precinct committee should
commence shaking things up pretty
soon. Our citizens don't want to
forget that there is an election next
month.
Fem will make a tip-top legisla-
tor. He is a fine appearing gentle
man, and Is backed by intelligence
and more than ordinary good sense.
He would be a credit to the county.
Even those politically opposed to
Major Armstrong, residing in this
city, will vote for him from local
pride and from the fact that none
know him but to love him. A Spo-
kaneite would be unworthy Of a fur
ther residence in the city who would
vote against so worthy q townsman.
District Attorney Hyde will have
a chance to draw the salary of that
office for another two years. He has
noodles Of warm supporters in each
Of the four counties composing the
district.
The man who will be our next pro-
bate judge is not the fellow whom
Pocahontas saved, but he is a de-
scendent Of a family bearing the
same name. Smith will run like a
scared wolf and will get in ahead Of
the pursuers. His record in the Of
fee is such that he deserves a con-
tinuance.
Voorhees, will put In the butt end
Of the month working up Spokane
county. 1t will be loves labor lost.
A vote for DR.. Penfeld will have
the effect of locating the coroner in
this city, where he should reside
The doctor is gentleman high up
in the profession Of medicine, and
should he be elected he will prove
to be the right man in the right
place.
Runner will run into Office Of sur
veyor without any difficulty. He has
the inside track.
Next Tuesday state elections take
place in Ohio and WestVirginia, and
the leaders of both parties are on the
anxious-seat until the strain is over.
In spite OF the passive condition Of
the "only gnap(? paper on the
sound, Maj. Armstrong has a large
following In western Washington.
He will come over the Cascades with
good round majority that will be
swelled by the returns from the east
ern counties.
Those who thought Dillon had a
plain walk over for the Office Of
sheriff a month ago have changed
their views within the last week.
Whittier is now getting in his work,
and his chances are improving con-
stantly.
Our lawyers consider Judge Smith
one Of the best probate judges they
ever knew. When you have a good
man in that office q change is a mis-
take, so vote for Smith TO continue
him in the place.
Every man from the country with
whom we speak expresses himself
strongly in favor Of b. c. Van
Houten for county auditor. Van is
one Of these quiet, pleasant gentle
men, who treats every one alike,
whether he be blOa.ed millionaire or
poor laborer. This kindly disposition
is what attracts people to his support
and, although he is running against
very popular gentleman, yet we
are almost certain that his majority
will be as large as any other nominee
on the ticket
One Of the most fearfully mixed
lot of people in the territory are
those residing in Lincoln county.
The county seat question crowds out
politics, and three towns are strain
ing every point to carry the day.
The election will be red-hOt, and il
is impossible to guess the result at
this day.
Whittier yer soy to the republican
granger candidate for sheriff? Amt
he good one? The democrats have
commenced thinking so, anyhow.
II Grayis elected treasurer there
never will be any peculation in
county funds. He is a horse Of an.
other color.
Van Houten will be coming in In
the van for the race for county audi.
