Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-09-26

TIE adlgc of the kettle calling the
DOT black seems exceedingly apropos
when we real the T'rihuac's objections
10 Col. Eddy for Il, preventative, based
IN the ground OF short residence.
This Office Of Representative relates
solely to Thurston county, and how
long pray has the Tribune gang
the word is borrowed from that Jour
nab been residents OF this district?
Not quite as long a. Col. Eddy. !
Scarcely long enough to gain lcgil
residence in the state. Barely long
enough 10 vote in the county. Still
these Tacoinaitca assume to dictate t. /
the people, and to read out o! its party
many Of its principal men. The
STANDARD j. Democratic, but it is not
so welded to party thai IL can witness
such un3lushing arrogance or sane
ton such palpable injustice, even
though il he matter in which the OPP
posing party is mainly interested.
Col. Eddy is man OF superior intel
lcctual ability, amply qualified to rep
resent us in the next Legislature, and
1t least as sincerely devoted to the in
terests of our people as the Tribune
gang" He is'a foeman worthy OF
the steel of any Democrat, and defeat
by him would be no dishonor.
An extra session OF Congress
whether obtained by the action OF Il
majority OF that body by voting to
take Il recess, or called by Mr.. Harri
son, will be an outrage upon the tax
payers OF the country. There is not
not the slightest excuse for an extra
session in the way Of legitimate public
business, and were it not for the des-
perate condition of the Republican
party it would never have been heard
of. It's only business will be 10 pass
the Force bill and other measures in
tended to assist the Republican party
in retaining control of the govern
ment, and the $4,000 day, which it
will cost, will have to be paid by the
people at large, majority of whom
have, at every Presidential election
since, and including 1876, voted
against the Republican party. A few
more years OF Republican rule and
popular government in America will
be thing of the past.
THE Congressional Apportionment
bill, prepared by R. P. Porter, Super
intendent OF the Census Bureau, and
introduced in the House by Represen-
tative Dunnell, Chairman of the Cen.
sus Committee, is as one-sided and
unjust measure as the tariff bill. In
it everything has been lost sight OF
but increasing the number of Repub-
lican votes in the House of Represen.
tatives and in the Electoral College
and to make it still more obnoxious
the main features of the McComas
so-called anti-gerrymandering, bill was
tackled on to it. This was done to
prevent the Democrats from redis-
tricting the States which the Repub-
licans have in the past gerrymandered.

SENATOR ingalls, should bear in
mind that abuse of the Democratic
party does not and cannot be made to
form q valid defense of Senator Quay
from the criminal charges which have
been made against him. These
charges have been made, and reiter-
ated, even by a member OF Mr.. Quay's
own party in speech on the floor OF
the House of Representatives, and yet
Mr.. Quay has never made the slightest
move to prove his innocence, il such a
thing is possible. Among lawyers
when counsel begins to abuse their
clients opponent it is always con-
sidered bad sign, indicating weak
ness. --,-.--- =
