How they Voted.

AoW luey SOIeO.
1t is no surprise that Allen and
Squire should he the first Senators
from the State Of Washington. Allen
had wrested the Territory from the
Democratic party, after it had tri-
umphed IN two general campaigns,
and there is always feeling of safety
in standing by successful leaders.
Nothing promotes success like sue
cess" was Napoleon's favorite maxim,
and it is sustained by human nature
the world over
Squire succeeded because he was a
Seattle 1ian. The same policy which
caused Seattle to blow hot for extern
sion OF time to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co. in one breath and to
blow cold for forfeiture in the next, a
few years ago, influenced them in the
election of Squire as Senator. 1t mat
tiers Tut little to them who a candidate
is, if he favOrs Seattle, and hence we
found that element in the Queen City
represented by the Post InteUigencer
complacently making satisfactory re-
past on their own words, when it came
to making combine Cor trust, as it
were,) against Pierce, which has lately
scored Il point or two in wealth and
population that makes the average
Kingcountian fairly green with jealous
rage. Squire's election was "needed
in their business" and with Pierce,
divided against herself, it is not sur
prising the result is as it was. King
now has the Governor, a Senator,
Supreme Judge, and innumerable can
didates for the offices that Squire will
dispense according to Seattle's needs
and desires. AS a matter of interest
we give the vote in the two houses:
