Ellensburg Register: "The people of this state
will be surprised to learn that the State Demo
cratic convention, which has just been in ses-
sion at Tacoma, has seen at to publicly snub
and insult its honored and invited guest. the
Hon. JEFF Chandler, OF st. Louis. Mr.. Chandler
is brilliant speaker. and holds to the Sam
Randall wing OF the party, and believes in the
old time Democratic doctrine OF free speech and
free thought. He does not admire Cleveland.
because the principles which the ex-president
advocates and which opinions he has never
modified would put coal, lumber. iron and
wool on the free list. Another strong tenet OF
Mr.. Cleveland is that he is anti-silver to the
core. which principle meets with no favor from
the western man. Again, Mr.. Cleveand's
stolid and stubborn policy against pensioning
the Union soldiers has made for him many
bitter enemies. For these reasons Mr.. Chandler
dared TO express his views, that some other
great Democratic chief might lead the party to
victory, and for this ,eeson, on the occasion OF
the great event OF the convention. he was
snubbed by being obliged to talk to empty
benches"
Waila Wslla Union: Census Superintendent
Mech, OF Portland. is hereby informed that
there are number of people in Walla Walla
year, and perhaps it would be good idea to
have them enumerated as part OF Portlands
population. This is merely suggestion. An
other opportunity for Mr.. Mech would he in as
pertaining the names of all persons who bought
tickets In the East for Portland during the past
six months and have them added to the popula-
ton. OF course most of them did not go to the
city-on-the-creek but their names will help to
uwo1l fbax 1f.1
fde settlers. From the manner in which the
recount is conducted, it is evident that Oregon
will be crowded to contain Portland's popula-
ton"
Tacoma Globe: "That was briilians speech
Candidate Tom Carroll made when he accepted
the nomination for congress, aud it furnished
watchword for the campaign. The nomina-
tion OF poor me for congress is not likely to be
forgotten. There is something highly effective
about that self-applied title, poor me- some
thing that appeals sadly to the sympathetic
heart. 1t win be poor me- when the votes are
counted next fall, sure enough. Possibly appre-
citation Of this had something to do with Mr..
CAROLS speech"
Spokane Reuieu: "Here in the Pacific North
west where every infant industry is protected
by the Mckinley tariff bill, the liyeliest interest
will be felt in the fight in the Sixteenth Ohio
district Mckinley stands as the champion of
the miner. the wool-grower. the herdsman and
the fruit-grs wer, and the sympathies of thous-
ands OF voters in Washington aud Idaho will be
with him in his daring fight. If he succeeds,
with all the ODDS so terribly against him. the
victory will probably put an end to the gerry
Wandering efforts of the Ohio Democracy"
Spokane Review: 1.-THE right of labor to or
ganize and fix price upon its usefulness is not
modern assertion. Two thousand years ago
the artisans and mechanics of Rome marched
through the streets of the imperial city, bearing
banners and wearing the insignia of their
trades, just as the workingmen of Spokane Falls
paraded on Labor day yesterday. AS matter
of fact the history OF the race can hardly carry
us back to period antedating the organization
of labor"
The Walla Walla Journal says of the recent
scrap" in the House of Representatives: "such
things add no credit to an American congress,
yet Mr.. Wilson cannot be blamed"
The Whatcom Bulletin declares that the Re
publicans of Whatcom county have no organi-
cation and fare Just trusting to luck"
