WHAT ARE THE ISSUEs2
There is great deal more in
yoved In the results of this
campaign in Washington than the
mere local issues or the aspira-
tions of individuals or localities. The
mission of the republican party, from a
national standpoint, is not yet accom-
plished nor will 1t be so long as the fall
lacious dogmas of the democratic party
have lodging place to an extent suiii-
cicnt to menace the interests of the poo
pie or to impcril tho institutions for the
establishing and maintenance of which
the republican party came into exist
ence.
1t Is the duty of the republi-
can party to fully carry out the
provisions OF constitutional law which
entities every voter, in whatsoever see
ton of the Union he may happen to
dwell to cast his ballot conscicntionsly
and with the assurance that 1t will be
honestly and fnirly counted Fer the
fultlment of this obligation TO the
freedmen, especially in the Southern
states, the republican party has given its
solemn and irrevocable pledge and Is sn-
credly bound This is one OF the issues
involved In the pending campaign
1t Is the duty of the republican party
to accord the fullest sfheasure of justice
to the brave men who in the hour of the
country's peril made sacrifices the
enumeration of which, in dol
lars and cents, would bafllo
the science of mathmctics. Let demo
Gratis jeer as they may about 1.-THE sol
dicr racket" and the propriety of for
getting the past--the republican party
is pledged 10 fulfill the n"tion's prom
isos toward the defenders of the flag
and their widows and orphans. This is
an issue that enters into the campaign
in Washington.
II Is the duty of the republican party
to prevent, at any cost, the repeal OF the
tariff laws or the further modification of
their construction, the effect of which
would be the admission 10 the markets
of this conntry of the products of the
pnupcr labor Of Europe In competition
with those of American artisans, and
upon an equal busis, This issue is ut
stake in Washington.
1t is the duty of the republican party
to maintain its policy of restriction of
paupcr immigration and contract labor
from alien lands, and to extend such re-
striction to all classes of foreigners
whose coming may impcril the interests
of American labor. This issue is voted
upon at every election, directly or indi-
rcotly, and will be in Washington on
the first day OF October, next.
II is the duty of tho republican party
to maintain the public school system,
and to judiciously manage the lands and
the funds set apart for that purpose, to the
end that the youth of the state may de-
rive the fullest benefit thcrefrom. This
is one of the immediate and paramount
issues involved in this election in Wash
! ington.
1t is the duty Of tho republican party
to continue its policy of filling the fed
eral offices In all the states and torrltor-
| les with bona tide residents thereof.
This issue Is prominently before the peo-
plc of Washington at this time.
| II is the duty of the people of Wash
/ inglon tn manifest their appreciation o
7 the efforts of the republican party to Sc
/ cure the admission of this territory to the
| Union, ,aud to rcbukcthe democratic party
| for so pcrsistcntly antagonizing this just
measure until forced by an overwholm-
| ing republican triumph to recedc from
their wrongful attitude. The republic
ans IN congrrss did not force the atlmis-
ion of the territories with the view OF
strengthening the republican ma
jority in that body, but be
cause the principle was right. II
would, however show an utter lack ol
appreciation on the part of the people
and II total disregard OF their own in.
terests, should any one of the new states
choose for its representatives in congress
men who are identified with that party
which antagonized statehood for sc
many years solely because the leader,
believed they would be republican states
This would be q calamity from tho

cover in many years, and consequently
1t constitutes an issue in the present
campaign.
In view of all these considerations II
is the duty of every republican in Wash
ington to cast his vote mt this election
for the principles of the party and its
chosen candidates, just the same as IL u
general election for president was Al
hand.
