The Negro Vote.

The assumption OF Northern dema-
gogues that the negro is deprived, by
force, OF his rights in the South, is but
a logical conclusion from the premises
laid by the Republican party when the
South was reconstructed with negro
suffrage a. a cornerstone that he
would at once step into full possession
OF his political rights with complete
knowledge OF their successful Use. 1t
was taken for granted that he was as
much opposed to slavery as his senti-
mental friends in the North, and at
he would los no tune in getting even
with "Old Massa,p by voting with his
scheKnhg allies and thus keep them
in power. The result has disappointed
expectation, and the only solution that
is sought OF the difficulty is that the
Southern people hold the negroes in
duress; that they are debarred from
voting, and that reign OF terror pre-
walls wherever the polls are opened in
those States. Nothing is further from
the truth, The white race rule sim.
ply through an intelligent use OF the
principles which support free govern.
ment. The ballot represents intellect
1t is simply the tangible evidence o.
an invisible force adjusting and di
recting the will-power which keeps il
motion the wheels of State.
In speaking on this subject to al
interviewer of the american, Il shor
time ago, Thomas ii. Watts, who wa
Attorney General of the late Confed
eracy says, in part: "The increase,
political power which the South &C
quired by the freedom OF negroes ough
never to be relinquished. There is N
policy OF the South which demands
or makes it desirable. If intelligenc
is superior to ignorance, or brain pow
er superior to mere muscle in the POI
icy of State, the South has nothing +
fear from the presence Of the negro
with an equal right to vote. TIL
Northern States being conquerors il
the war, unwittingly increased tn
political power of the conquered i

which the history of the Republican

He said: "Ycu can look out now for

got everything and they will make APP
propria tons right and left. Thoy will
pass the Civil Pension bill, which will
absorb about $75,OOO,OOO, the Direct
Tax bill, which will amount to nearly
$40, GOO, 900, and the Lord knows how
many other bills in the same line
They will probably run the expenses
OF our government up to over $780,

soon get rid of the surplus. That will
not long be standing menace to Gen.

u" We Rise to Explain"

Dear Sir--An old citizen and taxpayer who
has yearly paid into the City and County Treas
ury from two hundred and fifty to three hun
dred dollars, wishes to inquire through your
colmns why it 10 that when our city fathers
have positions of honor and profit to bestow on
comparative strangers, who have never paid a
cent a. tax here, are sought out as recipients,
why 10 1t that the common rule of inviting
competition 10 departed from and an exclusive
privilege granted or thrust upon an individual.
validity, passed for his special benefit.
To speak directly to the point, why is 1t that
old resident physicians, Of respectable standing
at least. are overlooked or totally ignored BY
A. an .Old Settler" and taxpayer, am 1 not
entitled to an answer?
Olympia, Dec. 4th, 1883.
On The SQUARE.
Certainly you are, and here it is. 1t
might be that the present Council is
following the precedent set it some
years ago, when the writer of the above
card to the Partisan was at the head
of the city government-the Mayor,
in point of fact. At that time such
"old resident physicians of respec-
table standing" as A. H. Steele, were
+" overlooked" and ignored" and DR..
Riley, comparative stranger" at
that time was appointed Health officer.
But that is not the reason. "To speak
directly and to the point" it is quite
probable that the choice fell upon DR..
Flanagan this time, because he was
instrumental in framing one of the
best health ordinances ever adopted
by any city. 1t may be true that he is
not an "old settler" nor a "tax-
payer" but he may become one, in the
course of time, if he is not crowded
out by those who have taken such a
deep root in the soil they obstruct the
growth OF the tender saplings that seek
to reach an altitude which will afford
them share of Gods sunshine. DR..
Flanagan comes well recommended.
He promises his best services to the
public now, and when he has amassed
q fortune to pay his taxes cheerfully,
and to aid and encourage the growth
on all occasions Of what will then be
a prosperous and thriving city.
Had the idea been suggested at the
proper time that the small slice of
pie" could have been let to compe-
ton with advantage to the city, it
would have probably received con-
sideration from the Council, but there
is a settled conviction on the part of
shrewd business men that tho cheap
est is not always the best.

The great Forepaugh show, with

Monday, Aug. 9th. 1t is safe to
say that no such gigantic and consum-

this year surpassed all his splendid
managerial achievements of the past.

the huge hippodrome tent, which
comfortable seats upwards Of 49,
600 people, has been crowded day

by the displays of thrilling and realis-
tic scenes of life on the frontier, en-
bracing representations of lasso-t throw
ing, buffalo hunting, riding bucking
horses, an attack on the Deadwood
mail-coach by real Sioux Indians, ex-
hibitions of shooting afoot and on
horseback by DR.. w. f. Carver, the
noted scout and dead shot; grand,
picturesque and startling portrayal
of "Custer's Last Rally" introduce

sensational and hitherto uninterrupted
features.

dogs-will also be seen here on the
occasion of the approaching visit, in
conjunction with over one hundred

stars, and the intensely exciting char

to make the Forepaugh show famous
