Chehalis County Politics.

EDITOR Standard.
How the Republicans do howl
when any Democrats are around, but
when alone what a sad expression
there is their countenances, which
seems to voice the doleful query
"Are we going to get there" Last
week the editor of the Vidette had a
scared look upon his countenance
some looked at him and said he must
be weakminded. Others said he was
in his second childhood while the DEM
ocrats thought it an over taxation OF
the brain, in trying to down Hon. C. O.
Voorhees, but the first of this week
he showed every symptom of worms
But the most amusing thing in the
Vidette last week was that letter
that would make the voters OF
Chehalis County believe Hon. J. B.
Allen had heart in him as big as al,
elephant, because he was taxed to
build two school houses in districts
where he had land and paid it with
out kick. One of these tracts was
worth about 500 and the other $1S5.
But have not all other taxpayers done
the same thing? The law compelled
them to do SO and what was the use
of a kick? Mr.. Allen has been known
to complain OF his taxes being too high
in Chehal:s county more than once,
when the county was in her infancy,
but it is well known fact that the
rapid growth of w. B. d. Newman's,
(the writer of that letter,) brains,
caused dwarfage of his body and
that elephant heart of J. B. Allen will
only increase the Democratic vote Of
Chehalis county.
The general manager of the N. w.
Lumber Company, George H. Emer-
son, left this county the first of last
week, in company with his little tool,
John F. Soule, for Thurston county,
with copy Of the previous weeks

boasts that he would get the Hon. M.
z. Goodell up in good shape. Demo.

Goodell felt little alarmed, until the
arrival on Saturday evening of that
great sheet, called the Partisan, n pa
per published in Olympia by u man
calling himself Thomas Cavanaugh
who has long since worn out what lit.
tie brains he had in trying to get his
revenge on Democracy for kicking him
out of Office. They are a beautiful
team, Thomas Cavanaugh of the
Olympian Partisan and George H
Emerson Of the N. w. Lumber Com
pany, to attack any one, especially the
Hon. NJ. z. Goodell, who is 40 favor
ably known, with the idea of injuring
his chances to represent this Council
District in the next Legislature. The
Partisan says that the people of this
Council District are no fools. In this
you speak the truth, brother Tom
for they are not fools enough to gulph
down the conglomerating mess you
would like them to drink.
The Partisan says Hon. M. q. Good

ollie the Chehalis river, while q mem.
Der of the House in 1856, what fine
thing it is that brother Tom is toe
well known in this Council District to
gull the people with any such non
sense. He well knows that he nor any
one else can produce the record of any
such measure introduced by the Hon
NJ. q. Goodell in the Legislature al
that time or at any other time. He
made good record while in that body
and will if elected serve the people as
honOrably again, because he is the
peoples man and is not owned by any
incorporation of individuals, while John
F. Soule will be the little tool of Geo.
II. Emerson, general agent OF N. w.
Lumber Company and other incorpor-
atoms.
