cratic free trader in congress with q
following sufficiently large to afford
any hope Of success. Where does
the democratic party of Washington
Territory stand, with its boasted
friendship for laboring men? 1t was
too busy denouncing lawful authority
TO pay attention TO the real interests
of our laborers.
The ARGUS is panied to know that
its course in vigorously supporting
Hon. Charles NJ. Bradshaw for Dele
gate has not pleased all Of its local
readers. While it has labored in
season and out Of season to advance
Port TOwnsend's interests, to secure
a custom house here, 10 secure the
leading educational institution Of the
Pacific northwest for our beautiful
bay. and now labors to secure for the
town a delegate in congress-while 1t
has been doing and is doing all this
there are those who persist in doing
the opposite, in blocking the wheels
of progress as far as they are capable.
They are persons who would delib-
erately sit down and let the moss
grow all over them while our town
perishe5 by inches with the dry rot.
They are those who pose as the dog
in the manger. To have a delegate
in congress would be big feather in
Port Townsend's cap, yet these OBJ
structionists will not have it. There
are other citizens of our town-One or
two at least ON each side OF the polit-
ical fence-who had they been nom
mated for the delegateship would
have had strong claims upon their
fellow townspeople for support ir-
respective of party. We could name
a few, each of whom would have had
our hearty support had he been nom
mated. Citizens of Port Townsend,
republicans or democrats, who do not
support Mr.. Bradshaw in this cleo
ton, are foolishly blind to their own
interests. It may be that the ARGUS
has been wrong all these years while
it has been advocating Port Town
sends interests in season and out OF
season; it may be that the mossbacks,
the GROWERS who have soured ON the
world and who snarl at themselves
are the real aids to local growth and
prosperity; possibly these fossils are
the best exponents of progressive
ideas; if they are, then a community

Voorhees, Losing Ground.

Tacoma Ledg,rl
At the last election the character
and standing Of Voorhees, was but
little known. His party, being q
small minority in this territory, unan
imously supported him and he
gathered enough republican strength
in addition to elect him by a small
majority. Part of the republicans
who voted for him did SO in the hope
that he would secure forfeiture of the
Northern P cific land grant and
enable them to enter railroad lands
which it assumed would be by vir-
tUre of forfeiture revert to the pub
lie domain and become subject to
homestead aud pre- emption; and
other republicans gave him their
ballots in the hope that being a dem>
ocrat and having a democratic father
in the United States senate. he would
have and exert the influence to pro
cure an enactment by congress of an
enabling act to admit tie territory to
the Union as state. 1t was not
because they placed very high esti-
mate upon him for intellectual,
moral or social qualities. As to
these they were simply in ignorance
and were willing to overlook any
shortcomings and for the time be
ing subordinate all such considera
tions together with their party fealty
to the two objects of land acquisi-
ton and statehood, which they
priced more than party or the credit
able character of their representative.
They now find that they have paid a
high price for nothing; for when
they come to take inventory OF the
results of their bad investment, they
discover that the total residue of the
transaction is embraced within the
personality of the man who cheated
them out of their vote under promise
to do things which he knew could
not be done. They have given up
the false hopes by which they were
deluded and now that Voorhees,
comes again before them soliciting
their suffrages they are found atten-
lively regarding, not his promises, as
in the first instance, but his person,
his politics aud his hneal political
qntecedents. And they are putting
the tape measure to him and telling
the meagre results all over Washing
ton territory with an industry no less
remarkable than his general condem-
nation among republicans is certain
There is evident a very pronounced
reaction against him. The reports
from every section, coming through
exchanges and by letter indicate with
unerring decision his growing up-
popularity He is being ventilated
and understood. Such being the
state of the canvass at it's present
stage, the fact that when he was on
the very top of the wave there We're
only 146 more than one-half of the
voters of the territory in his favor,
is very significant. If under the
most favorable circumstances of his
political career IN this territory he
was not able to secure a majority of
more than LAG votes, what will be the
measure of his defeat November sec.

Editorial Notes.

Mr.. Bradshaw states squarely in
his campaign speeches that he is in
favor of forfeiting every acre of rail
rood land that can be forfeited by
legislation How much more can Mr..
Voorhees, do? The fact is that Mr..
Bradshaw recognizes some good in
the railroad corporation along with
all its evils and injustice, while Mr..
Voorhees, for political effect would
tear mp its track and set fire to its
depots if he could. Mr.. Bradshaw
believes it is best to get a railroad
first and fight it afterwards. The
difference between a reasonable man
and bowling demagogue
Gr. Voorhees, received many repub-
lesn votes two years ago on the
strength of having a father in the Q.
S. senate. 1t was natural to suppose
that the father would aid the son in
ashieving distinction in connection
with our statehood bill. The young
man told his audience at Port Town
asna that his papa was called home
by illness in the family when our
statehood bill was passed in the SEN
ate. Several democratic senators
nade able speeches in favor of our
admission-but Senator Voorhees, was
aot among them. So much for the
VOORHEES, family on the statehood
question.
Ne are more than gratlfied over
the perusal of territorial exchanges.
So many telling points are being
IRsde in favor of Mr.. Bradshaw and
against Delegate Voorhees, that it is
Impossible for us to reproduce one
Aalt OF them. Our exchange list is
replete with the strongest kind OF
campaign material, and the only
thing that troubles US is in selecting
from the great mass of excellent hits
On the republican side the campaign
is noticeable for its unparalleled en-
thusiasm, while ON the democratic
side there is division, dissension
desertion and at best but half hearted
support. Old line democrats, true
asd tried, are supporting Bradshaw
because they are disgusted with the
plainly insincere and unreliable char
aeter of their own standard bearer.
and because they know Mr.. Brad
shaH to be just what he processes,
The mugwumps this year ara mainly
nom the democratic side, and in
elude many leaders of that party
hoth east and west of the mountains
The two leading democratic newspa
pers in the Territory are giving their
party such negative support as is
resulting strongly in favor of the re-
publican side. Democrats are now
conceding King and Klickitat coun-
ties to republieans-where Voorhees,
had large majorities last election. Ii
anything more IS needed to insure
victory for Bradshaw we would like
t) know it.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
TEN to all Post Ohices and all Mail
able Matter, October 1, 1880.
PosT OFFICE DEPARrArnS1,

PosT OFFICE DEPART1rnSr,
WASHINGTON, ID. C., August 10, 1886.
The attention of the public is invited to the
fact that under a recent act of Congress the
Special Delivery System, heretofore in effect
in cities and towns having population of
1900 and upwards, has been extended to all
post Offices in the United States, to take eff
feet on and after October l, 1886. The privil-
eges of this system have also been extended
to all classes of mail matter instead of being
confined to letters or frst-class matter as at
present. Accordingly, every article of malta
BILE matter to which is affixed ten-cent spe-
cial-delivery stamp, in addition to the post
age required by law, will, upon its arrival by
mail, have immediate delivery by a special
messenger within the carrier limits of any
free-deIivery post office, or within one mile
of any other post Office in the United States
to which it may be addressed.
Drop letters and other mailable matter de-
posted for local delivery, and bearing spe-
cial-delivery stamps in addition to the post
age, will be entitled to immediate delivery in
the same manner as matter received at the
post Office by mail.
Registered letters or parcels will also be en-
titled to immediate delivery, the same as
ordinary letters or parcels, when bearing spe-
cial-delivery stamps in addition to the full
postage and the registry fee required by the
law and regulations.
The hours within which special delivery
L IL ho Go
at Free-Delivery offices, and from a. m. as
late as p. m. at all other post offices.
Special-delivery stamps will be sold at all
post offices in the United States; they may be
used only to secure immediate delivery, and
are not good for any other purpose, and the
article must have the postage thereon also
prepaid by postage stamps. Under no cir
cumstances will special-delivery stamps be
recognized in payment of postage or of the
registry fee, nor can any other stamp be en-
ployed to secure special delivery except the
special delivery stamp.
Mailable matter intended for special deliv-
cry may be mailed at any post Office in the
United States.
The Department cannot require, as a con-
dition upon which immediate delivery will be
made, that special-delivery matter shall be
addressed to street and number, even when
intended for delivery at free-delivery office;
but the practice of fully and accurately ad-
dressing special-delivery matter, not at letter
carrier Offices only, but at all Offices, and by
street and number wherever practicable, is
in every way desirable. 1t will serve to pre-
vent mistakes, as we'll as to facilitate deliv-
cry.
Postmasters and other postal employees will
spare no effort to expedite the mailing of
matter intended for special delivery.
All available means will be taken by the
Department to promote the success of the
Special Delivery System.
WILLIAM F. Villas.
Postmaster General.
