by leaving order at this office.
Mr.. L. Rostein boba up serenely
with price list in today's ARGUS.
He is determined to not be outdone
Call and examine his goods.
OregonidR; Voorhees, is going it
through Washington territory, fam
boyant, perfervid, irrepressiblei but
the weight of opinion inclines to the
conclusion that Bradshaw will be
elected.
Voorhees,, Junior, denounced Gov.
| Squire as yiolator of the cOnstitu
ton, in declaring martial law, just as
viciously as Voorhees,, Senior, did
Lincoln, for calling for troops to put
down the rebellion.-PdrtiSan.
| The newspaper writers in the ter
ritOry who are trying to convince the
people that Voorhees, is popular are
like the fellow who knocked both
heads out OF barrel and tried to fill
1t with water through the bung hole.
A representative citizen like Hon.
G. NJ. Bradshaw can accomplish far
more than a recognized demagOgue,
who seeks to delude the people by
| fair promises, without regard to the
possibility of ment.-Portland
| NeuS.
Davenport Times: Three weeks
ago we were willing to concede Voor-
ness slight majority in Lincoln
county, but now after careful re-
search we will bet new plug hat
that Bradshaw will poll a majority
in this county.
Waitsburg Times: About the thin
nest thing that has come to the sur
face during the present campaign, is
Voorhees, reply to Bradshaw regard
ing the latters proposition for joint
discussion at Tacoma and Seattle.
Verify, Voorhees,, thy name is "Craw
fish" and not "Chawles."
At the auction sale of the saw mill
property today, the mill with blocks
2, ., 46, 81, 81 and 80, was bid in by
A. A. Plummer for $4,000 Block
l42 was sold to VIM. Payne and G. G.
Gilbert for Sl,160 A strip of land
5l3x200 feet more or less was sold to
A. l. Smith for S2,700
Gazette: The people Of the inland
empire say amen to &. NJ. Bradshaw's
unequiyocal declaration that the gov
ernment should make the Colhmbia
river run unvexed to the ocean.
Later he will demonstrate by his act
ions that he is the representative Of
the whole people.
So many people went to Goldendale
to hear Bradshaw that the hall
would not hold them and so the
meeting was held on the campmset
ing ground. The Sentinel, which is
not indulging in politics this year,
said: Every available seat was
occupied, and quite an enthusiastic
meeting was had"
The Ritzville Record has this to
say of the republican standard bear
er: No taint of jobbery or trickery
has ever been laid at his door; he is
an honest, strong and logical man;
he is man that the farmer, mer-
chant and mechanic alike will be able
to endorse. His honest logic will
down the plaintive cry of the whipo'-
will of the Palouse.
All the republicans Of the territory
who do not toot Voorhees, horn, are
called by that worthy. thieves,
scoundrels, Shiny reptiles, collar
wearsrs, subservient tools, trampa
and many other such dovie, lambie,
piggis sweet names. ALL, includes
the lady republicans, of course.
Send him back-to Posey county
Yakima Republican.
Speaking of o. NJ. Bradshaw, the
Portland Ners says: There is moth
ing in his past record as public off
cial IN various capacities that re-
quires any explanation, defence or
apology. In this he has his appo-
nent at an immense disadvantage.
Mr.. Voorhees' canvass has been one
chiefly OF explanations, and of ex.
plantations, too, that leave matters
worse for him than before.
There is another Richmond in the
field" One Babjohns of Pierce
county is out as delegate to con
gress. He is being introduced
among democrats who do not wish to
vote for Voorhees,. Up in Pierce
county, whenever q fellow fails to
get the office he wants he at once
goes out and organizes new party.
This thing has happened four or five
times up there already-and the end
is not yet.
Three times elected prosecuting at
torhey of the judicial district in which
he resides, and the last time without
Opposition (no opposing candidate
being found who was willing to go to
the slaughter) is Puget Sounds en-
dorsement OF Bradshaw's legal abil-
| ity. Gould any citizen OF this terri
tory, in need of the services of an at
torney at Washington, ask for law
yer better recommended? The inter
ests of Mr. Bradshaw's clients, the
people of Washington Territory, will
ne well looked after by him as dele
gate Gazette.
Olympia Partisan: The Partisan
desires to repeat its assertion, that G.
S. Voorhees, opposed the Daph bill
in every way in his power. He spoke
against in the committee and before
the house. We do not say that the
result would have been any different
had he supported the bill, but we do
say, that to have been honest, and
true to those who elected him and
have carried or tried to carry ont his
promises in good faith, he should
have shown his willingness to have
forfeited nearly three million acres
of land wholly within "his own bail
wick"
In speaking Of republican ratii-
ton meeting last Saturday evening,
the Chehalis Bee says the re. ubli
cans feel very happy oV~r IT. For an
impromptu meeting on an hour 8 call
it was a decided success, and the
speeches were good and we'll re-
ceiyed Almost as many present and
the enthusiasm more hearty than at
the Voorhees, grand rally" Now we
think of it the outpouring enthusi-
asm at the Voorhees, meeting was
Voorhees,, for Voorhees, who seemed
to go into ecstasies over his own gim
cracks. Not gun fired, not cheer
given. not flag swung to the breeze.
