There has never been an election
in this city where SO much money has
changed hands as that which took
place Monday Bets of 500 to $40
were freely offered and quickly taken.
The friends of each ticket were con.
fident of success. Men watched the
polls and little attention was paid TO
men who were believed to be staunch
Republicans. The strangers were
looked after by tho workers in the
Republican party, and the result was
that nealy all of them voted the
straight Republican ticket. Had the
same care and attention been paid to
the older citizans we might have been
to-day sitting on the top rail of the
fence Growing Our victory last
autumn made US, to certain extent,
careless. We went down the plank
then aud came out unscathed, but
to-day we realize that fellow cannot
slide down plank every time with
out getting splinter somewhere in
his anatomy. We got the splinters
yesterday Aye, verify most plenti-
full.
The chap had call from Mr.. II.
w. Bryant representing the New
York World, newspaper having the
largest circulation of any paper pub
lished in the English language-larg-
er even than the ARGUS. As to-day
it averages $4,000 copies daily. Mr..
Bryant has been deVoting the past

ber OF cities on this coast, not as they
have been written up by correspond
ents Of various papers in this part of
the country for in the World, prffs
and notices of individuals are ig-

| In detail of the resources; the advan-
tages TO be gained by eastern manu-
facturers, etc, IN settling here. The
articles the chap has read in the Sun
day World do not have The appear
ance of the ordinary paid ''write-up," /"
rather the contrary. They are made
interesting to the many thousands of
readers OF the World, not only in
New York. but all over the world.
The people In the east believe a CITY
will be built nearer deep water than
either Tacoma or Seattle As they
were built, history will repeat it
self in the future of Port Townsend.
The attention of eastern capitalists
should be brought to this city. It can
not be done through any other chan
mel than some one of the large New
York dailies, 1t is an advertisement
of course, and advertisers usually
select the papers having the largest
circulation; that paper is the
World So far MIR. Bryant has met
with considerable encouragement,
and the chap on the corner believes
that the men who have put money
into the scheme will be satisfied
with their investment. The articles
are not to be published until they
are inspected by some responsible
citizen.
Tom Cleary, the pngilist, came up
from Seattle yesterday looking as

ton for his coming contest with
Mike Brennan. While his condition
is such that he requires no active
training he Will go out in the country
