Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1886-08-20

rats Of the Territory would. if the
matter was presented to them indi-
vidually, refuse to favor such ell
dorsement. So much is written in
justification Of the position which
placed US in antagonism to Mr..
Voorhees, in the convention.
Now that the choice is made.
the STANDARD unhesitatingly places
the name Of the nominee at the
head of its columns. and announces
its determination to stand by him
in the ensuing campaign. He is
at least bold, active and consistent
in his course, and the same vigOr
that has marked his official career
in opposing corporation interests
will doubtless be given to other
matters in which the people have
an equal interest that is unclouded
by any doubts of propriety. The
platform is pronounced in its antag-
onism to the Chinese curse, and we
deem this to be an issue of far
greater Importance than all Others.
We want no uncertain advocate Of
the peoples will in this matter, and
we believe Mr.. Voorhees, to be in
full accord with that sentiment.
1t is impossible in this article to
state all the grounds which will be
likely to influence the party and the
people to support Mr.. VOORHEES, at
the polls in November. Sufficient
has been written to indicate the po-
iition of the STANDARD. True to
the party and its traditions as it
ever has been, it will always main
tain the right to comment from
an Independent standpoint. A
journal that has not the manlines>
20 do this does not merit confidence
or respect, and we do not propose
o cross our path on matters i'll
which conscience should rule.

Here is an extract from her recent
writings: "The western horizon

their heavy ichor on city spires and
domes and redden city windows where
the golden sun beats through wounds
that are not stanched till Venus

As there is some dispute between
the Partisan and the New Transcript
as to the right of the latter to use the
name it has chosen, Mr.. Cavanaugh
having bought the "good will of the
defunct Olympia Transcript, we sug'
gest the title of Hoprine as an exceed
ingly appropriate name for the new
venture.
Last Saturday the Chehalis mai
stage line, operated by Mr.. Richie, the
contractor, carried fourteen passen
gers to Montesano, and the daily aver
age, we are informed, is four passen
gers with a steadily increasing amount
of mail and freight. This indicates
the rapid settlement of our sistel
county.
THE editor of the Ncw transcript
strives to make show of his abjec
humility by saying that he never ha'
worn corporation collar, while HI
says never a word about the Fedora
collar he has worn for q term O
years.
THE Partisan can now congratulate
itself on the existence of three good
papers in Olympia. The grammatical
form of comparison, however, applies
and they may be classified as good
better and best.
