THE UNROPED ARENA.

General Tannatt, of Whitman county, says he
the Republican ticket
The contest in Okanogan county tor the seat
in the legislature will probably be between
Charley Laughton, the famous fiddler, and
Okanogan smith.
The OIympfdn says: whether to keep Hazard
in office or fire him out is burning question
with about five out of every six in Washington.
Hazard s lean and leathery countenance gives
no indication OF anger, but it is probable that
there are great many no;ches cut in his cane
just the same
The Aontesano vidette says: "The Seattle
Telegraph is inclined to poke fun at the Lewis
boom for governor. Yet, ii present indications
do not change, James Hamilton Lewis will be
the Democratic candidate for governor. Will
the Telegraph gracefully eat its dish of crow?"
The Spokane Reriep says: "The Democratic
Seattle Telegraph keeps pecking away at the
gubernatorial aspirations OF Dude Lewis. 1t
longs for farmer candidate from the bunch
grass realm, and as the highest type OF the sun.
burned farmer puts forth Warner, of Whitman.
Meanwhile, the dude seems to have the call
upon the enthusiasm of the Democracy"
Spokane, too, is having q taste of Democratic
economy. The Spokesman says: "spokanes de-
Gnquent tax list was published for the fifteenth
and last time yesterday afternoon. 1t occupied
thrty-three newspaper columns, and every pub.
LEGATION cost the city s13a6s. The charter re-
quires that it be published three times. The
total cost would then be s3g2.o4 1t has been
printed twelve times more than required by
law merely to give the Democracy q chance to
get some pin and beer money out of the city
treasury. They helped themselves this time to
just s., l6, for that is the which the city
must pay for having its delinquent tax list
printed twelve times unnecessarily ordered
by the city council. Beautiful and simple is
Democratic economy"
The Tacoma Ne,rs says: "The two elements
to consider chiefly in the carrying of this state
are the farmers and the laboring men, two
classes which are discontinued, and are keenly
alive TO the fact that they have the power in
their hands TO make or unmake any candidate
or any party. What man in this state has shown
most sympathy with these classes, has made
most persistent efforts their behalf and is as
sured most certainly their support? James
Hamilton Lewis. But Lewis is a dude, a man
OF fine clothes and of splendid whiskers. True,
Lewis does not go into society wearing jumper
and overalls, neither does he allow his beard to
become matted and like unto a BIRDS nest. But
did any man ever find that Iewis's fine raiInent
made him a snob? Does Lewis shrink from
grasping an honest hand because his trousers
fit and his coat hangs properly? Do Lewis
whiskers ever interfere with his seeing a friend
who 10 in trouble, and does the fit Of his coat
ever interfere with his extending his hand in
help?"

remonstraaces Of the anti-Hill Democracy
that really is the Democratic party in that
great doubtful state.
While the nomination Of Cleveland
would be welcomed by the Republicans, as
1t would obiige the Democracy to make
good the loss of New York by carrying
states hitherts Republican at the West,
like Illinois and Wisconsin or Iowa, the
Republicans do not expect that the enemy
viii arrange their order of battle to please
Us. The candidate whose strength might
trouble US both at the East and the West
would be man like Palmer, Morrison.
Gray or General Slocum. Cleveland We
do not fear; to defeat him will not be diff
cult, and assuming that the leaders of the
Democracy are of our opinion We do not
expect his nomination.

Tacoma Street Car Accident.

TACOMA, Sept Especial SHORTY before
o'clock this evening car No. l, of the Tacoma
Railway & Motor Company, started upthe Ninth
street hill for the Exposition building with IA
large crowd aboard. After an unsuccessful
trial on the wet rails the car made second start
from Pacific avenue and succeeded in reach
ing the corner of Ninth and C streets.
Before 1t could get under Roadway
to climb the next hill around the turn, it
started back, the front brake slip
ping. During the ensuing confusion
the trolley flew off and the car
dashed down the hill towards Point Defiance
car which was following closely behind Some
of the passengers jumped for safety. Both
brakes were unable to stop the car, but
checked it slightly as it closely chased
the other car down hill and around the curve
into Railroad street, where slight coils
ion occurred, doing no damage. The
Point Defiance motor man by his presence OF
mind in promptly throwing his lever completely
over, prevented a serious accident.
