The Vancouver Register is quite
alarmed lest Hon. Jno B. Allen may
be tho nominee of the republican
party for Delegate, and its excuse
for aiding the democratic party by
supporting the prohibition nominee
would vanish into thin air. Desir-
ins to aid Voorhees, for reelection,
the Register evidently wants to
retain semblance of republican
fealty and prohibition usefulness.

TUE ELECTION.

As far as example goes every good
Democrat Should pocket his d~iSapPoint'
ment. if he suffers from any, and pre-
ware 10 vote for the nominees chosen IN
the primary election. This is absolutely
necessary to preserve the influence OF the
Democratic party, which is the INST
essential to our safety and our progress.
We do not detail the disastrous conse-
ouences of the Republican rule, for they
nre perfectly familiar to every citizen
and c~ounterbalanCe all personal sacrifices
In the form of personal preferences.
The motive power OF the Democratic
party. as far as our local affairs are CON
cerned. is the intelligent action on an
idea hat is as strong as the instinct OF
sclf-preseryation. The unprecedented
vote polled in the primary election shows
extraordinary interest in the contest. and
If The same interest is brought TO bear IN
the election the Republicans had Is well
bang their harps on the willows. The
vote was over 5000, which is a third
more than was ever polled before in a pri-
mary election. 1t only remains, therefore,
Tor all the voters who placed their ballots
on Thursday to stand by the party, and
the result is certain for the near future,
md equally SO in the remote future, so
,er as Rcpu5licanism is concerned. The
Democracy is at %presentthe growing idea
Of the country, as it represents the devel-
opment of logical principles. Tie De

duties, because sense shows that we want
more raw material free of duty and more
