Tacoma Eears: aHad some foreigner. unac-
ouainted with the politics OF this country.
dropped in upon the Democrats at their banquet
last night, he would probably have been most
forcibly impressed with two facts. The number
OF young men present and the intense enthusi-
axn aroused by the mention OF the name of
Grover Cleveland Serenty-five per cent. OF
these present were under IS years Of age More
than one half of the speeches were delivered By
men who were not over 50 years old. That party
certainly docs not give evidence of dec-epitude
and decline which can draw to il so Large pro-
portion Of the young men OF the country"
The Port Townsend Leader, which has not for
gotten Judge Sachs, says: 1.-The Tacoma Ledger
says that Auditor Hollis has ruined his own po-
liticai future and disgraced the party that had
honored him, and the fact that he 10 permitted
TO retain his place does not speak well for the
moral sentiment of the Northwest Quite true,
Mr.. Ledger, but Office holders in the Northwest
are not engaged in the business of resigning
nowadays simply because they have ruined
their own political future, brought disgrace
upon the party that honored them, and out
ragged public sentiment by hanging on to an
Office that they have disgraeed"
The Globe says that the Jeffersonian ban
queters at Tacoma were q harmonious and
reasonably orderly body" and adds: Judging
from this letter and from the expression Of sun
dry Democrats of more or less prominence and
activity In local politics, the harmony which Is
claimed TO augur Democratic victory in 1892 is
all in the fond Imagination of select little
coterie, the members of which seem to have for
gotten where they get their votes on election
day
spokane Spokesman: ssJudge Gresham is now
put forward as possible Farmers Alliance can
didate for the presidency. Gresham knows
something about farming. and Is unquestionably
q friend of the farmer His popularity, how
ever, is mainly due to his famous decision in the
Wabash case, which was the first real hard
thump that Jay Gould ever got in court. But
ii Gresham is ever a presidential candidate
his name will be on the Republican ticket
Olympia Tribune: 1.-The lynching of the elder
Rose and Edwards in Oystervillc on Saturday
night was the worst kind of contempt OF court
il was contempt of the supreme court Of the
state, which had set aside the trial and ordered
q new one. There does not appear to be
any doubt, however, that Rose and Edwards
were guilty: but the manner in which they were
shot TO death was as bad as the methods they
used with Fredericksen and his WIFE,
walla Walla Spectator: ..some of the state pa
pers are advocating the converting of an extra
session of the legislature to give Governor
IAughton another chance to exercise his vetoing
power. Take every cent in the state treasury,
sell the furniture in the capitol building. take
the seal and other appurtenances belonging to
the state and pawn them, locate the agricultural

hold an extra session"
Referring to the lynching at sealand, Pacific
county, the Snohomish Sum says: 1.-The name of
this state has been dragged into the dust more
than once since it, admission into the Union,
but let not the name be further smirched by
reputation that the mandates of the highest
judicial authority of the state are made an ex
cuse for murder
Uwaco Adrance: perhaps we may be wrong,
but we have an idea that the fewer ex-coEgress-
men Mr.. Harrison appoints to Office the better it
will be for him. II we were president we should
not feel inclined to reward the men who had
been turned down by those who knew them
best"
Tacoma Ne,1s: president Harrison is presi-
dent OF Democrats and Republicans alike, and
no slight which may be put upon our party
should in any way lessen the cordiality of our
reception"
Washington Herald: You viii no longer
have to wait for Barnum. He win in future
wait for you"
Ruby Miner: "Acting-Governor Laughton is
being shamefully bounded
