NE RErUsL1oAN CITY TICKET.

On another page will be found report
Of the Republican city convention which
was held last night. Mr.. Harry White was
nominated for mayor, Mr.. Thos. R. Shep-
herd for city attorney, and Mr.. Geo. Mon
roe for chief-of-police. The election of this
ticket viii insure . thorough business adj
ministration of city affairs.
As . member Of the city council Mr..
White has been distinguished for his oppo-
sition to the dominating power which has
of late been 90 severely and so justly criti-
cized. He has been an earnest protest
ant against the policy which has delayed
the development of our water system and
against the other jobberies which
have discredited and injured the
city. At all times he has been
open and straightforward in his demands
for conducting the city business upon busl-
ness principles. His position on the water
questionable paramount question of the
time-has been sound from the beginning,
and it is not his fault If he has been out
voted by those less capable of comprehend
ing the true public interest or too selfish to
what it needs-a business administration
of the mayors Office. His position and
standing as man of business af-
fairs, taken with his record as a
councilman, afford sufficient assurances of
integrity and energy. His thorough &C.
quaintance with the details of the city
government will be an immense practical
advantage. He will start equipped with
information which it would take a new
man months to acquire.
Mr.. Sheherd is most happy choice for
the city attorneyship. He is an expert
enced lawyer of fine capacity, and in all
respects man of high character and
standing.
Mr.. Monroe is an old citizen, man of
important property interests, one who has
the very best reasons, personal as well as
public. for promoting the good order of the
community. His administrative capacity
is of the best order, and he will, unuues-
tionably, make an efficient chief of police.
What is needed at this time is energy
and business method in the administration
of city affairs. Seattle does not want an
organization of ornamental and dignified
figure-heads, but working organization
capable and willing to take up the many
problems which confront US, and work
them to a practical solution. The ticket
named last night has been chosen with
this idea in mind.

cards all the claptrapism and melo-
dramatic adjuncts INDUCED in by men
who engaged in similar exhibitions Il
generation ago. Then the poor hons
were sent covering to their corners by
a wild leap into the stage amid the con-
tinuous discharging of noisy revolver
and the loud and rapid swapping OF Il
big whip. All the time the tanner was
in the cage his eyes never for an instant
left the animals, who were always kept
vigorously in the foreground. Professor
Darling enters the cage as he might a
