How it Was Received.

Tacoma Netcs: That the nomina-
ton of Charles s. Voorhees, as
democratic candidate to congress does
not meet the hearty appreciation of
leading democrats of King county is
apparent to any one who will take
the pains to keep his ears open while
spending a day in Seattle.
The objection seems not so much to
be against the man as it is against
the platform upon which he stands,
and certain resolution which was
passed by the convention which
nominated him, and might be and is
considered a portion of his principles.
We do not wish to oyerdraw or
exaggerate in our statements, but we
speak advisedly' when we say that
leading democrats of King county
are most outspoken against Mr..
voorhees, and his platform, and the
probability is that Mr.. Voorhees, will
be showed Anyway under in King
county this fall.
The gist of it is this: The democra-
tic convention figured that it would
gain more votes by inserting plank
in its platform catering to the votes
of the peoples party than it would
lose by so doing, and Immediately
after Mr. Voorhees, went to Seattle he
held a conclave with the leaders of
the peoples party to perfect the
coalition, Respectable, intelligent,
law-abiding and law-supporting
democrats who were invited to this
meeting left it indignantly when it
became evident to them that MIR.
Voorhees, and his supporters were
catering to an element with which
under no circumstances they could
assimilate. To such political prosti-
tuition they would not give their
approval.
The democrats have made q mis-
take. The leaders in the party will
find it out this fall if they indeed do
not know it already Duplicity won't
win in this transaction.

Why did not the democratic terri
torial convention ''resolve" on the
question OF protecting the lumber.
coal and iron interests Of the Terri
tory? While it was hunting some
thing to strengthen itself before the
people. here is live question upon
which the public is interested. It
gave the officers of the law a slap for
doing their sworn duty and maintain
ing the dignity and honor of the gov
ernment; it saddled the sins of all
mankind upon the railroad company
for breaking up the o. r. 4 n mono
poly on the Columbia river and
cheapeninS freights and fares; but
it said never word about one of the
most important interests today affect
ing our people. Was this omission
because Morrison, the tariff reform
er," is democrat? That statesman
~ proposes to take coal and lumber
and iron from among our protected
manufactures and place them on the
free list. Every board of trade in
the northwest has protested in the
name of our laborers who would have
to work for reduced wages, if the
tariff were removed. Why did not
the democratic party, the boasted
friend of labor, protest also? While
they We're kicking Governor Squire
and Judge Greene for doing duty as
officers of the law, why did they not
also ceusure President Cleveland
under whose instructions these off
GERS We're acting? These are but &
few of the questions Mr.. VOORHEES,
will have to answer before the cam
paign is over.

What Has He Done?

The Colfax Gazette says: Nov
let some of the Voorhees, shriekers
who claim he has been true to his
pledges, tell the people what single
promise he kept or performed during
the late session of congress. Admis
sion, annexation, absolute forfeiture
where are they!"
The questions propounded are
specially pertinent. Take the for
feiture question for instance, the
leading issue that elected Voorhees,
He could have secured the passage
of the Dolph bill through the House.
but he preferred to advocate an i'm.
possible, impractical measure that he
knew would not become law. And
all this for buncombe, with which to
gull the dear public!

August Spies, the leader of the
Chicago anarchists, was born in Ger.
many. and is now about 80 years of
age. He went to Chicago when he
was II, and learned the trade OF
saddle maker, but threw up this oc
cupation after two years and went on
q tramp through the west aud south.
In 1875 he returned to Chicago,
where the socialistic party was very
strong at that time. He became q
convert to their ideas, and soon was
among the leaders. AS an agitator
it was easy for him to obtain en-
ployment il the Office Of the daily
organ of the socialists. While work
ing for the paper he began to study
the science side of socialism and
otherwise to improve his education
One year later he was business man
ager Of the paper. and in 1878 he
obtained the editorial control. When
Jahann Most went to Chicago the
first time he found in Spies an only
too willing follower. Spies gradually
changed the politics and the tone of
the pal er, until it became the mouth
piece of dynamiters and the most
dangerous classes. Later he pub
iished newspapers both in German
and English. Two years ago one of
his brothers, William Spies, was shot
and killed by a policeman, and he
then vowed vengeance on the preser-
vers Of the peace. William Spies
was dangerous character. Three
months before his death lie was one
of gang of tougbs who, it was al
legged, killed farmer named Lowell,
living near Chicago. The farmer
had refused them admittance to his
house, and was killed accordingly by
stones thrown at him. William Spies
was tried for the murder, but acquit
ted upon technicalities and on ac
count of the influence of his brothers
papers. lie could not, however,
enjoy life and liberty long. In
drunken 6ght he lesisled arrest and
was killed by an officer before he
could kill him. SPECS is gentle
manly III appearance. He is a single
man and supports his mother.

The position taken by the republi
an party two years ago with refer
ence to the Cascade branch railroad
means a competing line against the
the O. II. q \. monopoly down the
Columbia river. 1t means a CONNER
eial link to unite the two sections of
the Territory, cementing them in the
bands of unity and common interest.
1t means four dollars saved to the
farmers east of tho mountains On
zach and every ton of produce mar
keted by them. 1t means railroad
wholly within the limits Of our Ter
ritory, SO that we may regulate its
freights and fares by law. 1t means
just the facilities of travel and trans
portation that are needed for public
good. The position taken by the
democratic party upon the same
question-eould they have done what
they started to do-woald have meant
q continuation of the o. II. & y. Co.
monopoly, aud the retarding of the
development of Washington Terri
tory for many years. The people be-
gin TO see this as they never saw it
before. Especially is this the case
east of the mountains. We of Puget
Sound could have stood the inconyen-
fence. because We have water trans
pOrtation; but the poor farmers in
eastern Washington, hemmed in with
but one outlet and that by a circuit
ous and expensive line under the
control OF Z Srasping monopoly
those farmers see and realize as they
never d:d before; and they will be
heard from at the polls in November.
The democracy did not succeed in
preventing the construction of the
Cascade branch railroad; but they
tried Ia hamper and retard It. Their
delegate favored an impractical bun
cJmbe measure, and now he will
parade himself as the great am who
has accomplished wonders and will
set the world on fire II they will auIv
return bin 10 congress. He viii be
elected to return To his law r.-;r,ice

Col. T. j. Parker, OF the Walla
Walla Statesman, didn't succeed in
defeating Voorhees, for denomination,
and he has gone to Yaquina Bay,
Oregon, to cool his feverish brow
with the sea breeZes. His paper
comes sweetly and coyly to the front
with Voorhees, for Congress hoisted
at its mast head; but it is safe to say
that Mr.. Parker will not strain his
spine in the campaign this year.
The territorial democratic conven-
ton did not make any nominations
for militia oflicers-showing plainly
that the party does not expect sue
cess as a party in November. 1t has
virtually abandoned the old demoera-
cy in everything but name. 1t con-
eedes that, as between republicanism
and democracy, the latter are in a
hopeless minority. Now let the
republican party come up TO the full
measure of its duty and response
bility as representative party of the
people, and it will be victorious as Of
yore, and by a majority running into
the thousands.
