The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-08-22

The presidential election is but eleven
weeks distant The situation as it stands
today is decidedly in favor of the Repub-
licans; there is every reason to believe
that President Harrison will carry every
state in the North that gave him its cleo
toral vote in 1885, Connecticut is considered
as sure for Harrison, and the leading
party organs in the East are confident
that at least two states in the South
will break away and give their electoral
vote to the Republicans.
The present prospect is that Harrison
will carry New York and Indiana by in
creased pluralities over 1888. The failure
of fusion between the Democrats and the
Peoples party has robbed the Democracy
Of all chance to carry Iowa. Nebraska,
Minnesota, Washington or Oregon. In
Wisconsin there is hard and doubtful
fight before US, but Iowa and Illinois are
reported as sure for Harrison. Unless the
next month develops some unlooked-for
change in public sentiment Mr.. Harrison
will be the next president.
The results of the Alabama election
have startled the Democracy. They see
very plainly that in order to carry Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Del
aware and even Maryland, they will need
to exert all their energies between now
and November.

AWAY PROM HOME.

The editor of the Sprague Advertiser has
evidently been away from home and some
incompetent person has been attempting
to conduct his paper during his absence.
Here is a sample of the matter that has
appeared in the Adrertiscr during its
editors absence:
It is weil-knowh fact that while all appro.
priations for state improvements. such as the
improvement OF harbors, etc, come from the
national treasury, it is also true that every dol
state in the Union for public improvements is
charged up 20 that state. and that In the due
course OF time, through a systematic course OF
taxation, the state thus charged pays the debt
70 the general governpent All moneys re-
ccived by the states from the general govern
nient must DO paid back by the said state re-
ness. II this plan was not adopted the general
government could not exist.
OF course, the editor of the Advertiser
knows better than this, and he doubtless
regrets that such arrant nonsense should
have been published in his paper during
his absence. He should discharge the in
competent ass who wrote it. It is posi-
BILE, however. that the poor fellow is not
TO blame, and that some designing person
has made him believe a lot of absurd
stuff which will both get him into trouble
with the editor and make the Advertiser
ridiculous.

whose reputation smells loud enough to
drive hog out of tau yard" The Clay
Center Dispatch calls the Republican cam
didate for governor ''great big chump,"
and the Peoples Defender, of Cheyenne
county. says ''the Republican ticket is
made up of dagos, defaulters and gam
blers." The BeIlevilIe Freeman, the lead
ing Peoples party paper of Northwest
Kansas, refers to the Republican candi-
date for governor as ''cowardly blather-
skite and blatant demagogue," and speaks
Of slot of cowardly skunks like A. W.

None OF these invectives. however. are
particularly original in expression; none
OF them impresses Us as so new and strange
as the application of the epithet of New
England satyr" to a man because he
differs with you in his judgment OF public
men and measures. If an editor out in
this country should really be guilty of in
famous conduct, what would these vituper-
alive artists in black and white call him2
There is nothing left; they have e1-
hausted the dictionary; they have fired all
their solid shot of ribaldry in the air;
what would they do if the enemy were
really in sight?

and there is no doubt but that it will win. Tho
idea that there was any trade between Doolittle
and King county is ridiculous Pierce county
voted solidly against McGraw, solidly against
the amendment to the platform, and almost in
variably solidly against King. Doolittle was
nominated because he came from Pierce, and
the Republicans of the state demanded
that Tacoma should be recognized.
The nominations are strong. Wilson
has record that the Democrats cannot success
fully attack. No one can say he has done moth
ing; that he is lazy or inefficient He deserves
to be honored because he has been good and
faithful servant, aud Spokane county will give
him a handsome majority. Doolittle and Price,
the candidates for congress and secretary OF
state, will prove vote-getters in Pierce, and Nc
Graw's nomination leaves no doubt that King

told by some OF my Democratic friends that the

them leave an Endorsement OF public improve

money. OF course the federal govern
ment cannot tissue legal tenders direct TO
the people" of Washington, except by gift
or loan. and the federal government can
not constitutionally give or loan the
money of the treasury to the people or the
state of Washington in order to own and
operate coal mines and furnish coal at
cost to the people.
The deIusion that the government can
create money, and furnish money ad
hbitum to the people, is the bee that never
stops buzzing in the Peoples party bon
net; and this bee begins Its buzzing filled
with the false notion that it is the BUSH
ness of the government to support the
people, instead of the people the govern
ment. The only wonder is that the
trainers of these resolutions did not
resolve that the state of Washington
furnish every member Of the Peoples
party with ''forty acres and a mule" at
cost, and that the federal government
make ian issue of legal tender notes
direct to the people for this purpose.
The Peoples party might divide the
burden by letting the state of Washington
furnish the forty acres" while the federal
government benevolently tissues" the
mule 'direct to the people"

vITUPEEATION As FINE ART,

There is kind of journalism not yete x-
tinct in either Washington or Oregon
which leans tor its support not on logic or
fact. or legitimate satire or humor, but
solely on the stupidest and coarset kind OF
mud-slinging. To illustrate: When the

that the late Henry W. Grady. of Atlanta,
Ga, was n very gifted orator, who always
made his music box play the favorite airs

IIeENcss ventured 20 argue that the free
silver coinage was not only q disastrous
financial policy. but Was dishonest, in
stinct with fraud, the answer Of the Poo

King County Politics.
Slaughter Sun.


The average Democrat. when in the seclusiou
of his own room, makes up q wry face when
ever he thinks of the county ticket nominated
by the Democrats. We did think the Slaughter
delegation would go to the convention at Seattle
and select a ticket of men with some business
capabilities, but it seems they were like q flock
of sheep following q bell wether.
Oh, what picnic we'n have this fall In the
county election. True and tried men, with
intelligence depicted on every lineament; men
who are among the most Trustworthy in the
county, pitted against individuals who have
never been heard OF outside of their own i'm
mediate localities. We actually will feel sorry
for them this fall.
From all portions OF the county come reports
OF dissatisfaction among Democrats over the
nominations at the late county convention, and
seriously, with possibly an exception or two.

Mr.. Benefits Untonable Position.
The Olympian.

The very cordial reception that was accorded
Hon. W. H. Dooiittle, OF Tacoma, at Seattle Sat-
urday, demonstrated that 80 far as King county
Is concerned there is not the slightest feeling
existing against Tacoma and Pierce county. Mr..
Doolittle was given an enthusiastic welcome by
the Seattle clubs and citizens, and made to feel
that there were no county boundaries between
the two great cities of Puget sound.
The course taken by the Ledger In ito out
spoken opposition to the nomination for gov
ernOr made BY the Republicans of this state
must be- regarded as extending to the whole
ticket 1t cannot escape the Ledger that Its con-
nnued attacks upon Mr.. McGraw must react
upon the whole ticket, and particularly against
the candidates chosen from its own town. This
must in the very nature of things be true. 1t
cannot be expected that the friends of Mr.. Nc
Graw who live in King county would not feel
like resenting the persistent attacks that are
being daily made by the Ledger.
The position takeIHby Mr.. Bennett il unten-
able, illogical and springs from personal piQue
and defeated ambition. His paper urges the
defeat of Mr.. McGraw and the turning down OF
every man on the legislative ticket who is not
sworn enemy OF John B. Allen. He forgets in
his desire to be avenged upon those whom he
hates that he ts in licting an injury to his own
town by weakening his party ticket II this be
not apparent there can be but one solution for
the fight that is made by the Ledger, further
than its blind effort to cripple and defeat the
candidate OF its own party. 1t may feel con.
fdent that Tom Carroll, of Tacoma, will b.
nominated by the Democrats, and that its op-
position will result in his election. Such
treason to its party is not at all unlikely. But
1t may quite as we'll be understood now that
Mr.. Bennett can bid goodbye to his hope of
political success in this state. He never can
expect to DO forgiven for Reputation of the Re
publican convention and his evident desire to
bring defeat to his own party. All the more In
defensible is his course when 1t is remem bered
that he represents this state upon the Repub-
lcan national executive committee.

Asa whole the Republican ticket, we think,

and endorsement of the Republicans of the

Graw. is a magnificent organizer, . Republican
of Republicans, and q man who has been faith
full to the best interests of his party. What the
people IN this state demand at this time is a
governor of positive convictions whose allegi.
ance to his party principles has never been
doubted and who will maintain and defend the
peace and dignity of the state with firm and
vigorous hand. It may be that the ire.
pressible conflict between the two
great commercial twins, seattle and
Tacoma, may lead some OF the Republicans
OF the latter city TO not consider, at first
blush, this nomination q wise one But Ia
comas political interests have been well cared
for, aud as the governor Is elected for the state
the Republican party hiss a right to insist and
demand that all Republicans shall vote for the
ticket and give 1t loyal support. We believe
the Republican ticket will be elected, and the
state Of Washington will have the benefit OF
those qualities which have enabled John H. Nc.

containing nearly 100000 acres of the best
