The Seattle Athletic Club held an important
business meeting last night at the Northern
hotel at which action was taken which prom
ises to place the club in spleudid permanent
quarters by the early part OF the coming year.
The board of governors, which has had the
matter OF securing quarters in hand for some
time, reported that the proposed lease OF the
Citizens Market building, at the cor
ner of University and Second streets,
had fallen through owing to legal OBJ
stacles that could not be overcome
They presented proposition from John Parkin-
son for the lease OF the three basement stories
of the brick block which ne is TO erect at the
northwest corner of Front and Seneca streets
The plan is to have a natatorium on the nrst
story, and to make gymnasium OF the otner
two, with all the proper appendages OF recep-
ton, reading, billiard and instructors rooms.
If the lease is made, the building will be ready
Tor the club to move in as last as the Wofk eau
be completed. In this event the building Is 10

Several amendments to the constitution and
bylaws were also adopted. The term OF office
OF the members of the board OF governors Will
be two years instead of one, as originally pro-
vided for, but the term of half the members Will
expire each year at the annual meeting. The
president, who 10 ex-officio a member OF the
board of governors will be elected annually.
The provisions relating to membership were
amended as to permit OF athletic members be-
ing admitted without the payment of dues.
They must be non-prcfessional athletes, who
are to have only the privilege OF training with
any team OF the club or OF participating in the
tournaments and games of the club.
The club colors were changed from white and
red to white and blue. The uniform adopted
consists of a white cap, white shirt, with the

jealousies there was soma contention In the
ranks OF the Republican party in this county.
Republicans were more 90 blame than Demo-
Gratis. Republican newspapers had In quarrel
aroused the opposition auG furnished the cam
paign thunder of the Democrats. The county Is
the most northwestern ons OF any OF the states
OF the Union; it is, too, one OF the most unde-
veloped. Our county is nearly 100 miles long by
from thirty TO forty miles IN width. We have
but few wagon roads, and > large part OF can
vass must be made on foos, on horseback and
by water transportation. Much OF the county.
while II abounds in very fertile lands, mex
haustable timcers and ma;chless resources, yet
Is very mountainous and exceedingly hard 10
make q campaign in. Under all these circum-
stances it seems quite remarkable that Repub-
licans have such splendid prospects OF success.
II il accounted for wholly upon the ground OF
their most excellent countF Republican central
committee 1t has teen uncer the management OF
Hon. w. K. Gay, chairman. who Is practical
politician, most popular AID to whom more is
due than all else. Mr.. Gag is a warm friend OF
McGraw, Wilson ard Alles, and he entered into
bis work with enthusiasm: No man in CIallam
county has more personal friends. During this
entire canvass not a wost OF criticism or re-
proach has been uttered against him by any
speaker, paper or loafer politician. Everybody
regards him as their friene-one who absolutely
keeps his word in poiitica. In this campaign
in buggies 1000 miles; he has made forty
speeches, sent out over 5000 letters and given
seven weeks of his time ard much of his money
for the success of the Republican ticket.
In this he has been sustained by the
entire committee. Secretary White has been
most valuable assistant IL him. Never before
in the history of this county was it organized,
or anything like systematic work done. 1t
seems to be fact that mest speakers fail to do
any good for the cause thsy champion. but it is
not so with our county csairman- Mr.. Gay is
popular orator, most pleasing. convincing, and
one who always makes voees. In all of his work
in this canvass he has been so entirely unselfsh
as to have the absolute support OF the entire
committee aud avoid the jealousy of any of the
candidates 1t is to such influence that we owe
our prospect of success In this county, too,
the Republicans will succeed, not only with
national and state tickets. but with the county
ticket well. Let the resE of the counties do
as well.

SMALLPOX PATIENTS TRIBUTE.
Praise for DR.. Sparkling After Twenty
Four Days at the Pest House.

HoUGHToN. Wash, Nov. 1, 1892.
To THE EDITOR: was discharged from the
pest house on October ., and ask space in your
columns to say a few wor3s about that in stitu
ton end the treatment received by the patients
while there.
I was taken sick on Oct5ber l. but had no idea
that had the smallpox until the 9Th, when an
eruption broke out upon me, which the health
officer, DR.. Sparkling, pronounced TO be that fear
full and much dreaded disease. When / called
at the health office to fna out the nature of my
trouble, friend on the street a few minutes be-
fore having suggested that it might be
the smallpox, DR.. Sparkling was not in,
but the gentleman in charge OF the
Office, seeing that l was very ill, kindly
prepared a nice place for s1e to lie down, and
did all he could for my comfort, and l wish to
thank him thus publicly for his thoughtful con-
sideration. The doctor pronounced my trouble
the small ox, and was sent TO the pest house
the same afternoon.
feel deeply grateful to- those in authority for
the kind treatment and Gre that received at
their hands from the tsme l arrived at the
health office on october 5-uutil was discharged
on the 18th. Dr. Sparlinw is a model man for
the position he occupied sas health officer and
that he now occupies as resident physician at
the pest house, and whea l say this I say
great DEAL especially as to his qualifications for
resident physician, of which am better quail
fed to speak.
Although it ia a very grying position to fill,
Dr. Sparkling is universally kind. gentle, consid-
crate and looks close aster the condition of his
patients and their comfGrts we'll. Every dis
charged patient will resegve warm place in his
heart for him. They wiz also remember with
gratitude Mr.. Mccormick and Miss Rosie. the
nurses who were as kind AS they could be to me,
as well as TO all of the other inmates. Last, but
not least feel very greesful to the city of Seat
tie that not only provides literally what is
necessary for the support of the unfortunate
sufferers, but sees that 4hev are made as COM
Portable as is possible unaer the circumstances.
Very respectfully, E. II. GowRAN.

QUALIFICATIONS OF AN HECTOR.

SEATTLE, Nov. s. 1892
To THE EDITOR: Congress in organizing the
territory of Washington limited the righ: of the
Legislature thereof 20 confer The suffrage on
only such aliens as had declared their inten-
lions of becoming citizsns Of the United States,
and who, in addition thereto, had taken m oath
to support the constitution Of the United States
and the organic act Of the territory. Therefore,
in my opinion, IL necessarily follows that all
aliens who have not complied with the forego-
ing requirements were not qualified electors in
the territory at the time of the adoption Of the
state constitution, and consequently are not
now qualified electors under the laws OF the
state and will not be entitled to vote at the
coming election. Tho act OF the legislature,
approved January IS, 1sss, emitting the words
