More About the Seattle Canal and
Candidates.

Republican and Democratic Opin-
ions as to the strength of the
Ticket and Candidates From all
Parts of the state.
The Advertiser believes that the opening
of the Columbia river to the sea is Of greater
commercial importance to the state Of
Washington than the digging ola Seattle
ditch, connecting that city with Lake
Washington, at an expense Of 100000. 1t
is well known fact that while all appro-
priatons for state improvements, such as
the improvement of harbors, ETC., come
from the national treasury it is also true
that every dollar advanced by the national
treasury to any state in the Union for pub
lie Improvements is charged up to that
state and that in the due course Of time,
through systematic course of taxation,
the state thus charged pays the debt TO the
general government. All moneys received
by states from the general government
must be paid back by The state receiving
the money in the due course Of business.
If this plan was not adopted the general
government could not exist.-sprague Ad-
yertiser.
OTHER OPINIONS.
Before making up your minds to vote for
governor inquire Of Mr. McGmw's history
from Illinois to the present time. If his
record is honorable, all right; if not, your
duty is plain. We cannot afford TO place
such a man as he in the chair Of chief exec
utive of this great state. We here and now
ayoW that if the democrats make no better
selection for governor, we shall vote, if at
all, for some other candidate for that high
office Washington Independent, of Pome-
roy.
Nelson Bennett is the member of the
national republican committee for the
state of Washington. Along with a host of
other republicans he is disgusted with the
proceedings of the late alleged convention
at Olympia, which nominated small ward
politician, of Seattle, for governor. Now,
some Of the feeble, piping organs are call
ing on Mr.. Bennett TO resign. Perhaps he
will; but the chances are that he won't.
He isn't of the resigning sort. But what
If he does Or what If he doesn't2 The
ward politicians of Seattle are already dis
covering that they do not own the repub-
lican yeomanry Of this state.--Spokane
Chronicle.
The acts Of the republican state conyen-
ton constitute q hard dose for Pierce coun-
ty republicans to swallow, Pierce county's
modest delegates are not sufficiently
trained In political trickery to cope with
the King county wheel horses.-Sumner
Herald.
Above all. the party will rejoice that
Pierce and King have buried the hatchet,
and that the two greatest counties Of the
state will stand by Spokane as one Of the
speakers Of the convention remarked, as
the pillars of Hercules, supporting, encour-
aging and maintaining the strength, pros
perty and glory of the commonwealth and
an rnnnhIfnort
Union.
The man who runs for an Office and gets
left is the greatest fool on earth TO Kick
against the pricks. far more dangerous
man is he who quietly pockets his chagrin
and bides his time TO knife his enemies
when they will have forgotten his exist
ence and the public will wonder why he
did it.-BrankfOrt Chronicle.
"If tits true, as claimed. that can carry
King county-and l think / can-I will,
therefore, disturb the majority which Hon.
j. III. McGraw will otherwise get. l am
willing to stand on my strength In Pierce
county. have no doubt but what / will
carry eastern Washington. / am, there
fore, virtually an elected man if i pet the
nomination. Otherwise the plan Of my
foes, as few as they are in number, would
result in giving Mr.. J. II. MoGraw de-
cided advantage in this county, barely Off
set at best by Pierce, and with all the rest
OF the counties With republican maiorities
having nothing Of vigOr or strength TO
combat. This Is as / view the situation.
There are, Of course, gentlemen in the
party whose judgment is equall 30 mine,
and IN many instances superor"-Col. j.
Hamilton Lewis.
Experience is a dear teacher, but the
Pierce county politicians seem disinclined
TO learn, even In that expensive school.
Seattle with selfsacriicing pulling to-
gether always gets there. Tacoma, with a
multiplicity Of candidates and different
factions pulling for personal ends, always
gets left. The lesson is plain, but the Ia
coma politicians are apparently as far as
ever from needing it's mport.-Egerett
Herald.
The Perce County Bar Association has
selected W. ii. Pritchard and Emmett NJ
Parker, republicans. and j. @. Stallcup,
democrat, candidates for superior court
judge, for approval by both political parties.
The delegates 10 the democratic state con-
vention from Island county are @. p. Eaton,
j. Antilles, n. S. Hancock and j s. Metzle.
They are solid for Lewis for governor.
The ticket just nominated at the Olym-
pia convention is good ticket and a strong
one, composed Of intelligent, brainy men,
and is satisfactory TO the republicans
throughout the state. The convention
made good selections and are to be con
graduated for their excellent work.-SnO-
homish Tribune.
The ticket nominated lisa strong one, and
will have my active, hearty, enthusiastic
support from now until election day. It
deserves the loyal support Of every repub-
lican in the state, and will surely be victO-
riOus by a rOusing majority y-Allen Weir,
in the Port Townsend Leader.
The state convention has done it's work
well, as will be seen by reference 10 the
ticket at the head Of these columns. Pa
