The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-08-27

bia would allow wheat to be carried to
Portland, still such improvement would
directly or indirectly benefit Ia
oma, and benefit Seattle, because
1t would benefit the people in
Washington living along that river.
This sentiment was also cheered by the
audience. So also was the assertion, made
moment later. that all internal improve
ment in this state would directly or indi-
rectly benefit every other part of the state.
Doolittle's name was mentioned by the
speaker and called forth rafting applause.
Mr.. Burleigh admonished loyal support
for w. H. Doolittie for congress and the
audience responded enthusiastically.
ave will We will do itr'
Sand We of King" continued Mr. Burleigh.
twill meet yon on the banks OF the Puyallup
river the night Of the election with the biggest
maiorities for Doolittie and Price ever rolled
up in any county for any candidate in the
state"
The applause with which this was re-
ceived was equaled only by the continued
hand-clapping. stamping and cheering
which greeted the announcement of
Mr.. McGraw by Chairman Joah. Be-
fore Mr.. McGraw spoke, however. Colonel
Patrick Henry Winston made one of his
happiest efforts. He kept the audience in
Q continual uproar. He showed up what
had occurred since the formation of the
government down, and without sparing
the Democratic party. There were
some Democrats present. who spoke
out for Tom Carroll. This was
done when Colonel Winston was
talking about the Democrats who wished
to destroy the Union. CAROLS admirer
said Tom helped to fight.
YES" retorted Colonel Winston, land
some Of his Democratic friends in South
Carolina shot him."
The applause broke out again. Colonel
Winston continued at once to say:
And 1 hope if Mr.. Carroll becomes
feeble and impoverished Grover Cleveland
will not be in the presidential chair to
veto his application for pension"
Whewi How the audience cheered.
From that time on Colonel Winston was
applauded and cheered in rapid success
sion, and when he came out and SAID the
building of the Lake Washington canal is
in keeping with the policy of the Repub-
lican party in aiding the construction Of
works of internal improvement. and that
he had voted for that plank at the Repub-
hcan state convention, he was applauded
and cheered with a vim.
"The idea that the construction of this
canal at a distance of forty miles from Ia
coma" said he, would affect the progress
of this city or retard it, would, if persisted
in and circulated, do Tacoma more injury
than the building Of a hundred canals.
The building Of the canal, instead OF re-
tarding progress, would assist it, both di-
rectly and indirectly"
This sort of utterance might be expected
according to the lying Misrepresentation
referred to by Mr.. Burieigh, to be met
with q storm of Kisses. Instead it was
cheered, although when Colonel Winston
at the outset stated that he would say
something about the Lake Washington
water way some one in the gallery did
hiss. When he had spoken there were no
Kisses. but the applause was unbounded.
Applause lasting fully one minute
greeted Mr.. McGraw. Under his admins
tration as governor-he had no doubt
about leading the party to victrry-he
promised honesty in every department.
He also referred to the Lake Washington
canal. He believed in small internal i'm
p-ovement to the state, to which the gov
eminent owes money. He, too. was
heartily cheered.
"Hurrah for McGraw," exclrimed a
plain looking man in the audience. Hur-
rahs and cheers were the response. Later
on Mr.. McGraw said he would come to
Tacoma and speak more in detail upon
the issues before the Republicans of the
state and nation.
An ovation was rendered w. III. Doo-
little, who was q trihe sarcastic in his
opening remarks. He assured the audi.
ence that he had been nominated
for congress. "And," he said, II
was nominated without making any
pledges or promises, directly or
indirectly for any purpose in any part of
the state" But before he could finish the
sentence the audience was cheering him.
that the last words could not be heard in
the rear Of the hail
"When I returned from the Olympia
convention" he went on, Il went directly
to the Office of the Lcdrr [hissesl and told
the editor of that paper, that there might
not be any misunderstanding, that
had not made any pledges or prom
Uses in order to secure strength
in securing my nomination for congress.
This has been we'll understr cd all along.
l now tell it to you In confidence with the
understanding that you will not tell any
body else"
He made his references SO bald that all
seemed to und ,rstand and cheered en-
thuslasticslly. Colonel Do~itsle made
spirited speech on the tariff and the COM
mere of the nation This loquent diser-
tstiun spanked with b. ght, pungent
thr lists ct what was evid' ntly the source
of 'lying misrepresentation" alluded to
by Mr.. Burieigh. For instance, he said,
it was no time now, at this most impor-
tant and critical point, for any Repub-
lican to ''suik in his tent" because of this
or that little pickering. Again, he said,
"any blunderbuss could sit around
on the grass and find fault" And.
again: "Those who are grinding out their
tale of woe will have no share in Repub-
lican victory this fall or thereafter"
Mr. Dooiittle said he had just returned
from the Chehalis county convention, and
brought word that Chehalis would roll up
a bigger Republican majority than ever
before.
Each and every one of these thrusty
were taken up and applauded to the echo.
II. F. Smith, of New York city, was intro
duced as laboring man. He Is
en- engineer and moulder. and said
he could not understand how any
laboring man could vote for Grover Cleve-
land. His little speech turned upon an
exposure of the vOtoes of the stuffed
prophet while governor of New York
tate. There were thirteen of these, and
they included voices of tenant-house cigar
bills, scent car fare bills, lien law bills,
etc. all of which were in the interest of
