Spokane Spok<smra- 1.-THE Cslkfns local organ
says that gray haired gentleman who opposed
the tide lands bill IL low getting II in the
neck from the supporters Of that infamous
measure III the fellows are lying about Judge
Houghton the Spokeemda win calamity thrust
Its little knife betwixt their ribz But, surely,
the friends OF CAlkins are not turning against
the honest judge after all he has done for
them He manfulIy made a clean breast
OF his connection with the Clarke-Net-
caife dirty job and nobody in this city
doubts thst he told the truth about It
He.didlnot bribe anybody, for II appears that
nobody at Olympia cared much about federal
offlces or votes for an agricultural college which
were the only inducements that the judge would
handle. Are the Tacoma tidelsnders angry at
the honest judge because he explained that

Tacoma Ledger: "John McGraw, of Seattle,
MI Squire's manager and groomer in the late
senatorial campaign. has been wined and diued
by his friends and admirers, and presented with
goo solid silver dinner set, compliment 70
bis success. In the midst OF their gaiety Mr.
McGraw and his friends did not forget Pierce
county. Mr.. McGraw grew especially eloquent
when recalling the Loyalty of Pierce county Re-
publicans and the victories they had won, and
urged that her conduct should not be forgotten,
and that her acquiescence In the recent result
must be met by reciprocity In the enthusi-
asm OF the moment toasts TO Pierce. the loyal
Republican county, and TO Hon. W II. Caik-
ms, Republican, tried and true were drank
and cheered TO the echo. II is gratifying 10
have these expressions Of confidence and afTee-
ton at this time"
The Spokane Falls Reriee was Calkins advo-
cate during the senatorial campaign, and then
after Squire was elected denied that il had op
posed him. The PosT-INTELLIsEScKg found no
fault with the Reriep for favoring Calkins, in
deed, the Reriesc was always decent, while the
other Ocosta papers were not, and we are not
surprised that the Reries is ashamed of the had
company in which IL found itself. But nobody
has had harsh word for the Reriew, which is
now trying TO make people believe that 1t 10
being prosecuted for its late course Don't cry.
Tacoma Globe: "Field Marshal MeGraw was
given banquet at Seattle, on Wednesday even
ing, by number of enthusiastic seattleites and
presented with magnificent cabinet of silver,
in recognition of his services in securing the
election Of Senator Squire. Mr.. McGraw was
largely instrumental in securing that victory,
and il was eminently proper that men who were
pleased with the result, and who approved the
methods employed, should show their appre-
ciation.n
Tacoma Eetes: "This talk to the effect that the
Indians have not rood title TO their Puyallup
lands seems very singular coming from an In
dian agent. If the Indians have good title they
can transfer their lands If they have not, the
sooner ii is known the better. There should be
no jobbing in this matter.

home of Mr.. Calkins, is to have q paper, the
