It is evident that the old timers have q
warm feeling for Mr.. Bradshaw without
regard to party obligations. The
Olympia Standard, that staunch old
democratic wheel-borse, has the follow
ing to say under the caption. THE Re
publican Nominations" Mr.. G. NJ. Brad
shaw, the Republican nominee for con-
gress, is man OF ability and experience.
who, if elected, will make an efficient
representative at the national capital.
He has served several terms in the Leg.
islature, and was for two years ending
in 1865, prosecuting attorney OF the third
judicial district, positions which amply
demonstrate his mental power and force
Of character when brought intoclose
rivalry with leading men of both parties.
He is man of firm convictions, and as
consequence steadfast il every course
which he conceives to be the line OF
duty. AS do all individuals OF positive
organization, he possesses warm friends
and bitter enemies. He permits the
heart to arbitrate in his dealings with
friends, and the head when passing
jud dgment upon his enemies. This much
We affirm in simple justice to one whose
virtues we respect, and who under other
circumstances ond on different ptat-
form, it would be pleasure to support.

congress, on the ninth ballot, by the
territorial republican convention.
Mr.. Bradshaw is q lawyer, a man of

publican party in the territory

A new directory of the iron and
steel works of the United States has
been completed by the American Iron
and Steel Association. 1t shows the
present extent of these industries as
compared with two years ago. The
number of completed rolling mills
and steel works described in the di-
rectory for 1884 was 434, with four
building, but in the edition for
1886 only 423 are described. with 13
building. The slightly decreased
number of rolling mills and steel
works in 1886, Notwithstanding the
great increase since 1854 in the erec-
ton of steel plants, is accounted for
partly by the fact that number of
rolling mills which were built to roll
iron rails have been wholly aban-
doned. and partly by the fact that the
increasing use of steel rails tends to
diminish the demand for the products
OF iron rolling mills. The annual
capacity of the rolling wills in fin
ished iron and still is virtually the
same now as IN 1884, being 1900, 600
net ions in 1884 and 7,613,000 tons
in 1856.

BILE, and will bee elected. We will
simply say at this time that we ap-
prove of the nomination, fully, freely
and unreservedly. 1t will be our
pleasure as we'll as duty to work for
the election of Mr.. Bradshaw from
this issue until the last before the
day of election, and each and every
day and hour from this time until the
closing hour of the campaign. Mr..
Bradshaw is a true blue. stanch.
earnest, enthusiastic republican, and
should receive the suffrages of every
republican in the territory. He is
entirely free from all those quarrels
and alliances which have, for the
past two years, so seriously divided
the republicans of Puget Sound.
Seattle and Tacoma. Pierce and King,
join hands over his nomination. A
united party is irrisistable and will
be successful in November.

Mr.. Bradshaw is Q man who car
represent Washington Territory in
tefligently. He will command re
spect in body in which he is a peer
of his associates. His auspicious
nomination means a sweeping VIC
tory, and as a lifelong republican,
a man who had occasion and did dis
play his answering loyalty to his flag,
deserves the unfaltering support of
every man who has ever been allied
to that party. We believe Mr.. Brad
shaw aan stand before the people up
the platform that he endorses by ac-
cepting the nomination, and go into
the campaign unsullied by a shadow
against his public life. As a stand
ard bearer the convention has been
fortunate in its choice, and we have
not single doubt of the result when
the free and enlightened people, like
those OF the population of Washing
ton Territory, steps up and casts
their ballots on the % day of next
November.

The Nominee.

1t IS not necessary to launch into
e2travagans praise of Mr.. Bradshaw.
He will be elected without that, and
he IS already so thoroughly known in
the Territory that no such advertise
ment is required. The following
sketch of his life, as it appeared in
the Tacoma Ledger yesterday, will
not be out of place:
Charles NJ Bradshaw was born at
Bridgewater, Susquehannah county,
Pennsylvania At the age of he
removed with his parents, to New
York, residing there until 19 years of
age, when he came to Puget Sound,
settling III Clallam county, where he
engaged in farming and numbering.
Having made up his mind to take up
a profession, he commenced the study
of law and in 1864 he was admitted
to practice at the bar before the su.
preme court at Olympia. Two years
later, in 1866, Mr. Bradshaw removed
to Port Townsend. He first came
into public life in 1869, when he was
elected prosecuting attorney for the
Third judicial district. At the end
of his term he was reelected; and
served until 1873. In 1882 he was
again brought out as candidate fol-
the office of prosecuting attorney and
was elected; served one term. Dur
ing these years of his residence in
Port Townsend he enjoyed the full
confidence of the people in his chosen
home. He was member of the ter
ritorial Legislature for FIVE sessions
three times in the council and twice
il the house. At one session ne was
president of the council. Twice he
was mayor OF Port Townsend. In
1870 Mr. Bradshaw was united il
marriage with Miss Florence Holmes
daughter of the late Samuel Holmes
At present he is one of the directors
of the First National bank and q
school director in that city.
In every way Mr.. Bradshaw is
identified with the territory's inter
ests, and the honors bestowed upon
him by his own people speak more
for his worth and integrity of char
acter than volumes of written praise
He will be elected.

The Nominee.
WalIa WalIa TaioBl

The nomination Of Hon. G.. NJ.
Bradshaw, by the Tacoma convention
as the republican nominee for dele
gate to congress, is a strong one.
The result of course is surprising,
from the fact that it was generally
conceded the fight lay between
Squire, Meeker and Brents, and from
knowledge that the present nomi-
nee made no open canvass, for the
nomination. The fact of the Sound
delegations all going to Bradshaw,
shows eonclusiyely that the right
man has been chosen, AID that he, of
all others, is the one to heal the party
jealousies and rivalr1es that have so
long split the Sound republicans.
G. NJ. Bradshaw is an old pioneer
resident of the Territory with moth
ing of the carpet Bigger clinging to
his skirts. He mas long been identi-
fed in public life and is. and has
been free from all taints of jobbery.
He has twice previously aspIred for
the nomination-an honorable and
laudatory ambition-the right OF any
citizen, whose character is unim.
peachable. He always carried q
strong personal following in the con-
ventIons, but was defeated through
the inability of the Sound to concen
trate on Sound man." This time
the republicans centered upon c. Nj.
Bradshaw in no unmistal;able terms,
and on the second day OF November
will sweep the Sound by majority
of 1000, while those east of the
mountains will not lag behind in the
procession. Vale Voorhees,.

The Republican Nominee.

Olympia ', Tra.seriPt.l
The republican convention met at
Tacoma last Wednesday and, to the
surprise of some, and to the mortal
chagrin of the democratic party, har-
monized the last confictiag element
in the republican party and placed
before the people u candidate who is
absolutely unobiectiouable.
A number of candidates were pre-
sented, any of whom would have been
acceptable, and while each county had
personal preferences yet there was a
willingness manifested to sink indi-
yiduRl preferences for that which
promised to be best for the general
good. This was the most hopeful
feature or the meeting and which
augurs success.
The nominee, Hon. harles-M.
Bradshaw, of Jefferson county, is a
man who has lived among us for a
quarter of n century, and large DOR
ton of that time he has been actively
before the public; and the fact that
he has so fulfilled his duties as to
come forth without stain or blernish,
and be pushed to the front by those
who know him best is a euioev
grander and more to be cherished
than any that can be offered by
tongue or pen. Such man ia Char
ley Bradshaw. Able, true and hon
est Bradshaw is in the broadest
sense of the term n man of the peo-
pie. He came TO the Territory
beardless boy, and has by honest in
dustry and sound sense forced hIm-
self to the front As friend he is
true; "a a citizen he is above reproach.
In presenting Mr.. Bradshaw for
the suffrage of the republicans of this
Territory the convention IL not trying
an experiment. He is no novice.
Five times he las sat in the territor-
ial Legislature and every time has
proved imself the peer of any. As
a Legislator be Is success. Three
terms he served his district as prose
cutting attorney, and always proved q
successful prosecutor
In nominating Bradshaw the con
Scntion acted wisel y in that it har-
monies all elements of discord and
presents a solid front TO the already
badly demoralized democracy.
Two years ago Charley Bradshaw
should have been nominated aud had
be been We would not now be dis
graced by copperhead delegate, but
two years ago the corporations con-
troled the republican convention, and

The Hillsboro (Ogn.) Independent,
owned and edited by W. L. Jones
formerly of the ARGUS, has the follow
ing to say: G. NJ. Bradshaw, prom
inent attorney of Port Townsend, W.
T., has been nominated by the repub
lican party of Washington Territory,
as delegate to congress. MIR. Brad
shaw is an able lawyer and a man of
long residence in Washington Terri
tory and is closely identified with the
best interests of its people. At the
time Armstrong was nominated, MIR.
Bradshaw's name was prominently
before the convention, and had it not
been for the antagonism and jealous
ly of Seattle. he would have been the
choice of that convention as he was
of the people of Western Washington.
But, unlike most men, MIR. Bradshaw,
instead of becoming embittered at his
defeat, entered the canvass and work
ed hard to secure Armstrong; cleo
ton. The latter gentleman had a
big fight on his hands owing to the
hostility of Seattle, and the proclaim
ed anti railroad principles of young
Voorhees,. The result of that cleo
ton is too well known to need COM
ment here. But Mr.. Voorhees, now
has the biggest fight on his hands
possible. As an orator, Alr. Brad
shaw is his equal, and as a practical
man, far his superior Port Town
send has repeatedly elected MIR
Bradshaw mayor; and as prosecuting
attorney of a large district, including
several counties and the city of Seat
tie, that gentleman was always found
to be honest, just, quick to act an6
proficient.
