a marked improvement. The director.
Mr.. Darling, has been most fortunate in
securing the services of In orchestra COM
posed OF excellent performers and of fine
instrumental balance.

acoustics and grand music, an entertain
ment Will be given that will mark a new
era in the musical history of Seattle.
II Know That My Redeemer Liveth"
and other airs of this oratorio are known
to thousands merely as solos and not as
essential parts of the Messiah This is
because these beautiful but simple melo-
lies can be sung by any one who has any
knowledge of music. but the choruses are
much more intricate. requiring concerted
action, a number of performers, snd above
all. an able director.
Tonight's performance will be- the first
rendering of the Messiah" i'm Seattle.
and will be an event long to be remem-
bered by all lovers of classic MUSIC.

He said he did not want to have anv

point out the men who did the job. Officer
w. a. johnson was detailed to go with

FIRST they went to Washington and
South Fourth, but after looking around
he concluded he had found the wron.
place. Then they went to Jackson street.
ana Nash felt sure the Never Touched Me
saloon was the place, but on due consider
alton came to the conclusion that he had
made another mistake.
FINALLY they came to the Mug saloon and
Nash frightened up. He had found the
place. there was no mistake this time. Int
when he got inside his sudden hone
evaporated, and he remarked sometime
about being mixed up. The officer thought
he was, too, and just then Capt. Hogle
came along.
Officer Johnson told the captain that his
man dld not seem to know what he
wanted, and Nash at once commenced to
explain. he raised the size of the check
by $40, and when reminded that he had
SAID IL was $40 a few moments before, he
explained by saying he borrowed SO on
the check from some saloon keeper, in

other man.
Capt. Hogle took a long look at Nash
and told him: Young man, l think Won
lost your check gambling. and that is whv
you don't want any arrests made, We
Will drop your case here" Nash has not

WHO FREED THE sLAvEP
Republican Authority Saws Dem o
Gratis Did It.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
In his speech at Boston, Whitelaw
Reid said of the Republican party; "lt
freed the slave" This statement is
however, not historically correct. In
the History of American Politics" bv
Thomas V Cooper OF Philadel phia, one
Of the most stalwart of Republicans,
we are told tn the 18th amendment
to the Constitution 1.-THE emancipa
tion Amendment) was first introduc, d
in the House in December, 1868. by
James M. Ashley, of Ohio; that Ar
mold, of Illinois, was the first to Sc.
cure the adoption in the House on Feb
ruary IS. 1864, Oft resolution t. abol'
ish slavery; but the constitutional
amendment required two-thirds vote.
and this it was difficult to Obtain, though
all the force of the administration was
bent to that purpose.
THE DISCUSSION began May 81, the
vote was reached June 15, but it ther
tailed Of the two thrds-93 tor to 65
against. % not voting. At the
next session it was passed, receiving
every Republican and sixteen Democratic
votes, eight Democrats pur'osey re-
framing 20 that il would surely pass v
1t appears from the histoical record.
therefore, az made by dved in-thc'
wool Republican. that the negro is in
fact, indebted to the Democrats for his
freedom. and not to the Republican party
as claimed by Mr.. Reid, who is hunting
for colored votes.

+. Nj. Simmons. chairman Ot the State

issued a review Of the campaign 10 date,
with this conclusion, This is to be

dgnce predict " hen the roll is called on

len bv tie influence of this tidal wave,
will take her accustomed place i'll the
front rank Of the victorS her banners

Democracy. This is not the vaporlng OF
mere fancy nor VAIN and idle prediction,
but plain, unvarnished statement OF
the facts and results already enyolved;
what has already been accomplished and
Shat will inevitably follow is but the
logical outcome Of the influences ard
forces now operating in the entire coun-
try in favor OF our pa ty."
The Durham Democrats are very indig-
naut At the action of some Third party
men in that county. Messrs, {. b..
Green and 1uniNS Parker were billed to
sneak at place where the Third party
is strong. The Third party people de-
clared that Green and Parker should not
speak. A Democrat named Donnell asked
that they be given a hearing. Donnell
was then set upon, choked and kicked
and thrown out OF the building. Green
and Parker at once left The Third party
people say the reason they so treated
Donnell was that the Democrats had in
suited their patty in Georgia,
At Fayetteville thee came very near
being a collision btwcen Democrats and
Third party men. Marion Butler, Third
party nomir ce for elector, was badly
worstcd bv K Glenn, the Democratic
nominee, and said he had been treated
with discourtesy by the latter Glenn
said he was an internal liar" Third
party men and Democrats rushed toward
the stand Butler presently apologized
and Glenn withdrew his remarks.

WEAVER AT Pulaski.

Weaver has been to Pulaski and gone
away and his skin is whole, 1t is a great
qualification to make this statement
An assault on him would have gwen the
Third party thousands of votes; besides
it was right that Weaver should be
peaceably heard so long as he conducted
himself in manner to which no cxcep-
tion could rightly taken. Something
over three hundred persons heard him
and his tender, Mrs. Leach, speak and
both were allowed to depart in peace.
The selt-restrain OF the people of l'u.
laski was all the more creditable to
them tor the reason that Weaver, in his
speech there Saturday, denied all the
charges of cruelty made against him.
and, it must be believed lied in SO doing
Under such circumstances. TO keep their
hands off proves toat the people of the
town have more selt-respect than Weaver
himself was ever suspected Of
During Weaver's STAY prominent cit-
zens OF the town gathered in the cour,
house and adopted resolutions rcatF IN
ing the charges OF cruelty against him
They will be generally bcl'cvcG Weaver
will 60 down into history as ore of the
most cruel natures developed by the civil
war.
