DIR. \. ID. Hill, who was severely

on the new wharf extension IN front of

1t IS understood that Judge L. ID.
Warbass of Friday HaEbor Will probably
succeed Hon. J. NJ. Izett as deputy col
Iector Of customs at Roche Harbor. If
4 change is to take place there, We feel
quite sure that no better selection could
e made.
We have met lie new collector, Hon.
-tuiIcy \. Brooks, and Lis deputy, Mr..
Waters. They are both vely pleasant
gentlemen. Mr. Brooks is quite venera-
bic, but looks wsll preserved and level
beaded He will doubtless make good
record in his new position.
The editor Of the Vancouver Register
has come out since election with 4 long
double-twisted denial that lie was

presses TIE hope that Mr.. VOORHEES,

to put forth denial enough to convince
the people He says the editor Of the
ARGUS made "insinuations" about the
register on Il certain occasion recently
when a republican meeting was held at
Vancouver. We never once mentioned
the register nor its editor. Some people
are very quick at putting on coatg when
they fit SO nicely In the meantime If
Mr Voorhees, las fat Office handy he
would 90 we'll to bestow it on the dan
iels famIl. They have earned their
thirty pieces OF silver. BY turning trait
or to the republican cause after partici-
pa:ing in the deliberations of its terri
torial convention and expressing salts
faction with the choice made, they have
substantially toward demo-
cratic success. j. NJ. Adaws was reward
ed for similar treachery, the precedent
has been set, and il there is stray land
office to be filled the daniels family will
furnish an incumbent too quick. II no
Office is handy, then there should be a
reward in some way, or else the boys
vii be liable to return to the repub l. |
can party. We simply call our delegates
attention 10 this, in order that he may
know what is necessary to keep these |
proselytes after having secured them.

The Seattle Press is colicky because it

This paper did what seemed to be right
