The Truth Of 1t.
.,ymp.a NlIr- Transet;Ei.l

olympia Ne5r- Tr01scfpi.l
The democracy. ever true to It's
time-worn policy of misTepresenta-
tion, is now circulating a report that
Mr. Bradshaw was once impeached
by the territorial council: than which
nothing could be mere false. Mr.
Bradshaw was depO5cd as president
Of tlfe council. and his vacation of
that chair Is one Osthe brightest stars
in his political life, because it proved
at that early day that he was a clean
mar, and preferred to step aside
rather than do dirty work for vile
men.
The session of 1867 was the time
referred TO. In that council there
were four democrats. J. NJ. NanSyc-
kle, W. II. Newell, Z. A. Wilson, and
). Darlington; and four republicans,
4. G. Tripp, H. G. Strive, Marshall
Blinn. and G. NJ. Bradshaw. In the
district composed Of Lewis and Thur
stOn counties was a contested seat,
between VIM. McLane, republican,
and James LOngmire, democrat.
McLane held the certificate OF cleo
ton, hence took his seat and partici-.
pated in the proceedings two weeks.
when one or two republicans joined
the democrats, ousted AIcLane, and
declared the seat vacant. A special
election was called and McLane elect
ed by good majority; but in order
to carry out the bargain" be was
refused his seat, and the district re
maiIed unrepresented- 1t was in his
mastery minority fight on these cor
rupt acts that Bradshaw distinguish
I'd himself. As soon as McLaue was
5ilenced the combination demanded
the president, Bradshaw, to re organ
ize the committees, IN the interest of
jobbery. Again Bradshaw distin
guished himself by prompt refusal
TO lend himself to fraud. Then was
tue scheme of unseating him laid
Here, old Newell of Walla Walla, see
ing how much he had gained, de
nlanded that every republican in the
organization be depQSed along with
Bradshaw, which demand would have
been conceded but for Capt Barring
ton, democrat, but an honest man.
As it was, Bradshaw, president, and
". Is. Grenell, enrolling clerk, were
unseated, and all the others Were re-
tanned
The populace of Olympia, and the
entire district were thoroughly arous
ed by the dastardly treatment Brad
shaw had received, and held monster
Indignation meetings, at which Mr..
Bradshaw was heartily endorsed and
the council as roundly denounced.
Although removed from the presi-
dency, G. NJ Bradshaw came ont of
the fight with flying colors, bearing
the talisman. 4 clean man, one whom
demagogues cannot use for corrupt
work. We repeat, it is one of the
brightest stars in his life history.

A Deliberate Falsifier

At Ellensburg Voorhees, said, dur
ing his speech, Senators Dolph and
Mitchell said, we don't want any
partisan advantage, but we simply
don't propose to let you have any
democratic senators and a represen-
tative to offset the gain of two re
publican senators and representative
in Washington Territory"
This utterance of Voorhees, is a
deliberate, premeditated falsehood.
as citation from the Congressional
Record will show. On page 1929 Of
that paper, Senator Mitchell is re
ported as saying, during the debate
on the bill TO admit Washington:
Il am III favor as far as L am. con
cerned, of the admission of Dakota,
Montana and Washington. l believe
each and all of them should be ad-
mitted to all the rights and privi
leges and subject to all the RESPONSE
bilities of statehood, irrespective of
any question of polit cs. because, as
l said before, this is not a party
question, but one that rises above
party and should be decided upon
other principles than those of mere
partisan politics"
Senator Dolph, and in fact all the
republican senators, took a similar
view of the question, and expressing
their readiness to vote for an enabl-
ing act for the admission of Montana
when presented as an Independent
proposition, but not as rider to the
bill 70 admit Washington.

PickIngs-

Bradshaw is greeted with old time
republican enthusiasm wherever he
appears, and the signs of the cam
paign are ominous for democracy.
Palouse Gazette: In addition TO
his services on the stump, Allen Weir,
editor of the Port Townsend ARGUS,
is doing some good work for tho re-
publican candidate for delegate
through tha medium of newspaper
correspondence.
The news with regard to Sedwiek's S
report was announced in the Boston
Post by the head line: "AIr. Bayard
Findieated-Entlrely Satisfied with
Sedgwick's Report" This is new
vindication which ought to be popu-
lar. When an official can be vindi-
Gated by his own satisfaction no one
need so unvindicated.
L4conner Mail: The voice of the
old time leaders of the democracy
will not be heard in favor of the pre-
sent campaign. About two years ago
this time the democrats were iubilant
and the republicans Respondent.
Now the reverse of this is true, and
the election of Bradshaw is assured
by majority that will run into the
thousands
The American people have one trait
for which they should be truly thank
fui, they are born humorists, they
can see the ridiculous side of any
thlGg-even calamity. The walls
OF Charleston had scarcely ceased to
totter when newspapers in various
parts Of the country had begun to

\ Few Queries.

For Hon. {. 5. Voorhees, to answer:
lst. Did you not promise two years
ago that in the event of your election
you would work for statehood for
Washington Territory, regardless CT
political affiliations? And have you
not violated your solemn pledge by
making our admission conditional
upon that Of Montana?
81. Why is the Washington Ter
rItory statehood bill held iii the hands
Of the committee of the mousse of con-
gress instead of beng reported for
action? If it Is held for political
purposes, what do We gain by elect
ing democratic delegate?
81. Elected upon forfeiture plat
form, what possible objection could you
have had TO the Do!ph Bill as a partial
measure, when it would have forfeited
two-aud-a-half million acres of lands in
Washington territory, and would have
made the \. p. right of way taxable
adding eighteen million dollars TO the
taxable wealth of the territory-and con-
tanned provision expressly avoiding
any bar 70 further forfeiture; and when
you knew that no measure more sweep
ing would pass the senate?
18th. Is not the railroad tax law,
which you propose in len of the gross
earnings law, sham and a delnsion?
If railroad lands were sold under it for
taxes, and afterwards forfeited, what
would the tax titles be worth?

the offensive through the entire cam.
paign. The situation is reversed
The supporters of Mr. Bradshaw
standing on popular platform and
confident of success are bold and ag-
Sressive, crowding the enemy at all
points. The Voorhees, party, on the
other hand, by the united and deter
mined action OF their opponents, now
assume the defensive and slowly and
sullenly seeks the last, ditch.

This is the language of a civil service

to know what he is talking about.
Palouse Gazette: Democratic man
ayers and medicine men, in their dis
tress and soreness of heart over the
polieal outlook, are resorting to the
most questionable and detestable
methods known to politics in their
endeavor to mould public opinion
favorable to their candidate for dele
gate. Their first effort, the filthy
who Is Hep circular, needed 10
answer and has proved to be a yerl-
table boomerang. Profting by the
experience thus dearly bought, they
propose to be more careful in the
future, and with that end in view
have now in preparation, in this city,
so We are reliably informed. for dis
trlbution on the eve of election, an
edition of thirty or forty thousand
copies of a circular containing charges
against the republican candidate,
which are calculated to lead the TN
wary astray. Knowing full well that
their charges cannot be substantiated
if submitted to investigation, they
are of necessity, in the hope that their
dirty work will accomplish the de-
sired result, compelled to resort to
practice of springing them upon an
unsuspecting public at the last mo,
ment, when they cannot be refuted
by indisputable proof, which would
be forthcoming if they dared to sub
ject them to the airing the people
will demand before accepting them
as truthful statements. The crea-
lures of Voorhees, creation who are
engineering this villairous scheme
are towards and dare not come be-
fore the people with their charges
until the eve of election.

PAG6NINI.
How the Great vioIinist Manipulated HIS
Instrument.

How the Great Violinist Manipulated HIS
Instrument.
How did Paganini play? Now like
an angel, now like a demon with his
tail in a closed door. He played like
the very devil himself-never like a.
mortal man. Such sounds assuredly
have never yet been drawn from a
violin. The only thing that sounded
like them was pulling a cat by the hind
leg from uuder an ash barrel In fact,
they were no real violin sounds; they
sounded like the roaring of the storm,
like the surging of the sea, like
chronic snorer with his nose congested,
like a brakeman on the Elevated Rail
road with cold in his head, like the
ringing of the trombone, like the thun-
der of fat man with q deep voice
whose suspender button flew off. like
the chimes of a dinner bell. or the
sound of bird, like the anguish and
despair of n man, like moaning, and
singing, and whining and weeping.
And when the G string walled. then
tears came through the eyes from the
listening hearts of men, tears of sad
ness and delight. real salt and water
tears as big as Texas pecan nnts-none
of your artificial tears gotten up to de-
ceive the public.
His performance had the effect of
flashes of lightning in dark night He
was as full of electricity as black cat
that is rubbed the wrong way of the
fur. While he played, nervous tremor
went through his whole frame,
shaking, thin and spectre-like as
it was, and from his gloomy eyes
there flashed deeply-seated, raging
fire, such as is sometimes seen in the
eyes of an editor on whom barkeeper
showed OF bad quarter. With the
last stroke of the bow the PLAYER sank
completely exhausted.
His technique was the purest chro-
matte roulades, his wonderfully clear
intonation. even in humorous bizarre
ries, excited the astonishment of peo-
pie who were engaged in the manufac-
ture of biZarreries and knew al! about
them His broken accords across all
the four strings, from the lowest depths
up to the giddiest heights, could not be
distinguished from the noise made by a
boy running q stick along picket fence.
His rapid octave playing upon the G
string, his silyery chime of bells. his

of the orchestra, followed Immediately
by the sweetest, most charming pianis-
simo, can only be compared to tie loud
voice of woman who is scold;rg her
boy for tearing his pants. and suddenly
hears the voice of her pastor ut the
door asking if she was in.
All this was inconceivable or incom-
prehensible. and, therefore. also inde-

Editorial Notes.

Mr.. Voorhees, has been telling the
people that those 272 republicans
who assembled in territorial conven
ton at Tacoma last month are
idiots" and "fools." These are the
identical expressions he has used at
several points. His pet terms for
those who oppose him are such as,
"slimy reptile" whining cur" etc,
etc. He evidently mistakes billings
gate for argument.

There is a reaction on the forfeit

Of Delegate Voorhees,. The people
generally say that the Dolph bill was
good as far as it went and that Mr..
Voorhees, should have accepted it
especially as there was positive proof
that no measure more radical would
or could pass the senate under any
circumstances.

er could pass the senate under any
circumstances.
The appointment Of Quincy \.
Brooks as Collector of Customs on
Puget Sound is a direct slap in the
face of Delegate Voorhees,. 1t shows
that his influence with the admins
tration is not of the mightiest, after
all. If he could have secured the
plum for Judge Kuhn or some other
worthy resident of the Territory there
would have been far more satisfac-
ton among those who thought the
administration was in earnest about
selecting of1ice-holders from resi-
dents. 1t would also have promoted
harmony in democratic ranks.
Here is 4 specimen of Mr. Voor-
hees' reasoning: He says he could
not support the Dolph bill because it
was a railroad measure; that Senator
Dolph is a railroad hireling, doing
the railroad company's bidding; yet
he shows farther on that the railroad
company moved heaven and earth to
compass the defeat OF the bill which
their servant Dolph had introduced
Mr.. Voorhees, then shows that when
the Dolph bill was sent 10 the lower
House, and when the railroad com
pany. was getting up bogus resolu-
tions purporting to be from the peo-
pie and asking for the defeat of the
bill, he was sharp enoUgh to see that
said resolutions did not represent the
true sentiments of the people-yet he
did just what the railroad company
through the bogus resolutions asked
him to do, viz: opposed the bill.
The CaH asserts that Mr. Garfield,
the republican candidate for joint
councilman for this district, is resi-
dent of Aurora, Illinois. This will
be something of surprise to our
friends IN Whateom county, where
Mr.. Garfield has been pretty prom
inent factor for the past four years,
as well as his large circle of sequain-
tances all over the Territory. The
information came to the can proba-
bly, from man by the name of Hub

peated deciSions in the courts to the
contrary. In this case. though all
there is of it, that because Of the i'll
