Next tuesday there we'll be cleo
tons IL nearly all the states. The
political status of both branches of
congress, after the 4th of March next,
will be q fixed result.
1t is announced that Col. X. j.
Ingersoll Is afflicted with a cancer
resembling that which caused the
death of Gen. Grant; and it is devel-
oping so rapidly as to give indica-
tions that he cannot live beyond a
few months.
The republican leaders are for
protection TO American industries.
These are the principles enunciated
by Mr.. Bradshaw James G. Blaine
is urging protection in ell his
speeches in Pennsylvania, but the
London Times, the democratic lead
ers and little Charley Voorhees, are
for free trade. The workingmen of
the territory will know who to fol-
low.
The latest scheme of MIR. Voorhees,
to catch the laborer's vote is his an
nouncement that he belongs to the
knights OF Labor. If he ever be-
came a member of that order it must
have been that his admission was eff
fectsd under a suspension of the
rules. He was never known to do a
days work at manual labor in his
hfe. Let us see: Knight of Labor
and Good Templar, anti-women suf
fragist and an out and out democrat
What kind of mixture for consis
tency is that? He will blossom out
as something else soon. His politics
bear all the hues and shades of 4
ch meleon. He could not have taken
Il surer course to invite the Opposi-
ton of the Knights of Labor than by
attempting to pose as member Of
that body. 1t is an insult to their
intelligence.
When Mr.. Voorhees, declares he is
a democrat and is in favor of the
national democratic policy. he is II
effect opposed to the admission Of
Washington Territory, unless Mon-
tana should be admitted also, and at
the same time. The democrats in
congress make no concealment Of tho
fact that the reason why they op-
posed tho admission of Washington
was because it was q republican
territory. None of The democratic
papers can deny it. They want to
keep Dakota with its half million of
people ont also, because it is a repub
lcan territory. Mr.. voorhees, favors
that piece of injustice also. He is
heart and soul IN sympathy with the
obstructive policy of his party and
was during his lime in congress.
This statement Is made clearly and
explicitly so as to not mislead any
of our democratic contemporaries,
one OF whom Is the Yakima hignGL.
Democratic speakers and news
papers are disposed to underrate and
undeTvalue the lands which would
have been restored to the public do
main by the passage OF the Dolph
bill. This Is mere child's play.
Every we'll informed democrat or re
publican knows, If he understands
the subject at all, that the lands
which would have been restored 10
the government had the Dolph bill

empire in extent-2,100,000 acres in
this territory, and almost as much in
the state of Oregon would have been
open to settlement today had the
Dolph bill become a law. The land
would have been restored in this Ter.
ritory alone would have covered an
area of almost five times the size of
the state of Rhode Island. Certain
iy our democratic friends must be
men Of large ideas # they consider

4 meaningless circular is being cir
eulated throughout the Territory,
signed By one 8. E. Dennison, of
Vancouver, which, il it has any mean
ing at all, is a series cf cowardly
lhuendoes designed to reflect upon
the private character of c. NJ. Brad
shaw Who is this man Dennison
that he should riso up and exclaim,

necessary TO tell old residents OF
Thurston County what his private
character used to be, nor is it neces-
sary to point cut TO them that his
opposition IL more TO be sought for
