and Lake Washington Canal.
Mr.. Snively made an honorable failure +,
assigned all his property without reserva-
ton, and has since been paying on the de-
ficit. A republican source claims that Mr..
McGraw's failure was dishonorable, and he
took advantage of the bankrupt law, and
has not paid dollar to the losers. Mr..
SnlvelY Is today poor man and unable to
meet his campaign assessment. Mr.. Nc
Graw is worth 5000, 900, is president of ma
tional bank, and is spending money like
water in the most low-lived and scandalous
campaign that was ever inaugurated by
party. Citizens, which of these two men
will you choose for your next goVernor2
THE OLYMPIA TRIBUNE, a republican
newspaper, has at last come to the rescue
of McGraw. 1t says all that an honest re-
publican paper can say for him as follows:
"There is one defense TO McGraw' conduct
in Maine which seems not to have occurred
to that gentleman, and which would be
perhaps more direct and certain answer
and defense than he has yet made, and
that is that the country in and
around DanfOrth, Maine, is so internally
poor that no man could make a living and
be honest.-Walla Walla Statesman.
Mr.. McGraw or his political friends and
managers made a great mistake when
they began the campaign of slander
against Mr.. Snively. They made another
mistake when they allowed their game to
begin so soon. Already the disgraceful
scheme is recoiling upon the heads of its
inventors-the promoters of Metcalfsm in
politics.-Spokane Chronicle.
OUR HEIFER.
Seattle plows with our heifer. Senator
Allen has proven himself the plant tool of
the Seattle ring. His cheif efforts have
been in their interests. He betrayed
Pierce county in the first election at the
rings behest, and assisted in the re-elec-
tion of Squire. He neglected the Column
ba river and devoted himself to 'the
ditch. ."-Walla Walla Spectator.
1t is very noticeable fact that those who
own property in the vicinity of Lake
Washington, back of Seattle, are afflicted
with the Allenphobia in a much more
malignant form than those whose whole
property interests are located in the coun-
try tributary to the Columbia river, and
that it usually attacks them most severely
in the region of the pocket nerve and
causes more profuse frothing at the mouth.
Fortunately it is not very prevalent in
Walla Walla; still, there are some cases.
With the coming of the early November
frosts and the quarantining of the worst
cases at the source of Salt river, it is be-
lieved the disease will entirely disappear.
-Walla Walla Spectator.
One fresh water ditch should not be dug
to the neglect of all other rivers and har-
bors in the state which need improvements
more than the harbor of Seattle. Senator
Allen is as much of ditch digger as SEN
ator Squire.-Tacoma Ledger.
The daily papers have been engaged this
week in resurrecting histories back East"
In regard to the McGraw and Snively
stories, so far it seems to be pretty evenly
divided case of the pot and the kettle. Mr..
McGraW's career in Washington would
probably make more interesting reading
than what he is charged with doing in
