candidate was = popular young man
from WaIla WalIa. who explained TO the

while Washington herders were receiving

the Mills bill had reduced the tariff on lead
- per cent. and that under the construc-
ton OF the present tariff law by the
Democratic secretary of the treasury Mex
lean Lead ores had been admitted into the
United States absolutely Tree of duty, to
vast injury OF the lead mines at the Ceur

explained that the Mills bill had put hum

the United States the large outpourings OF
Canadian forests in competition with the
one great staple of Washington. These

Mr.. Voorhees, found himself defeated by
majority OF ISL. The fact shows where
Washington stands an the subject OF the
tariff. Just as the election OF Mr.. Carter in
Montana by more than 5000 majority, up
on the same issue, shows where Montana
stands.
Both parties are now in the field in
Washington, and the lines of battle are
Already drawn. Republican success is as
inevitable as the dawn of election day.
The action of the land department at
Washington in Fastening the issues OF land
patents and mining titles which had been
withheld by the much-hated Sparks upon
the trivial and generally fraudulent pre-
lenses that they had not been fully or fairly
earned, has been an important factor in
satisfying the people that the Republican
administration has their substantial inter-
ests at heart. They are not deceived,
either by the allegation, which has been
assiduously made, that President Harrison
does not intend to enforce the anti-Chinese
act The people of Washington have suf-
fered much from infiowing hordes of Mon
golians. and you touch them in tender
place when you represent that the govern
ment intends to permit this evil longer to be
felt. But they have seen no indications OF
weakness on the part of the administra-
ton, and Democratic misrepresentation
have entirely failed OF their designed effect
The people OF this Coast are ship-build-
ing people. They are constructing about
fifty vessels year, with gross tonnage Of
about 10000, and they understand how
vastly to their injury would be the success
of the Democratic free-ship scheme. To
sum up the situation, the Democracy is
hopelessly. irretrievably wrong upon every
Western question, and il has nothing in
its policy, in its traditions, in its past acts,
its present position or its future intentions
upon which it can possibly attract votes.
The only reason why people here vote for
it today is because they have been in the
habit OF voting for it before they came here
and the number of those who are persist
ing in Q mistaken habit grows rapidly and
constantly less.
