A CYCLONE COMING.

There's cyclone coming in the demo-
cratic ranks, and in the ranks of the old
soldiers and the workingmen throughout
the country lisa cyclone that will per-
haps hatten Mr.. Cleveland's party before
his term of Office is half through. The
president elect does not seem to have any
sympathy with the common people in
either their aims or means. He is in touch
with the great monopolies rather than the
harCy ons Of toll. His record shows this,
and he will make it still palmer during his
second term. His latest reported act was
an attempt to forward the senatorial am
bition Of w. G. Whitney, the representa-
tive OF the millionaire and trust element
OF the country. Mr.. Whitney is the man
Of all others the monopolists want in the
senate, and so Mr.. Cleveland is his especi.
al champion. Senator Hill is already re-
ferring to Cleveland with much sarcasm.
He speaks of the ELUSIVE fawning of the
rich men who have been identified with
the trusts around Cleveland and asks what
kind of an idea the masses of the demo-
cratic party are going to get of the men
whom they have elected, when they see
him entertained with princely luxuriance
by number of men whose possessions
aggregate many millions of dollars, every
one of whom is interested in some of those
corporations and trusts which the demo-
cratic party profess to regard as unhealthy
groWths. Mr.. Hill expects to return to the
senate waving no flag of truce, but as
Vigilant, patient and possibly vindictiye
opponent of Cleveland in that body. The
criticisms which Senator Hill is making
upon the recent extraordinary banquet are
endorsed by a great many of the demo-
cratic leaders. Some of the latter have
privately had courage enough to suggest
that the Henry Willard banquet is to be
compared with that ofthe famous Belshaz-
zar feast which did so great an injury
to the republican cause eight wears
ago. Hill wants for his colleague
in the senate Edward Murphy, Jr., of Troy.
He is a good deal of a sport. When Paddy
Ryan fought Goss, and later John L. SulH-
van, it was the same Murphy who put up
the money. Cock-fghting is equally in his
line. New York City demands that a typi-
cal New Yorker, Whitney preferred. should
be the successor of Senator Hiscock, but
Tammany has a sovereign and well-ground-
ed contempt for the eminently respectable
gentlemen who allow themselves to play
tail to the tiger. In the meantime the
democrats are getting ready to scale the
pensions. This will hit the old soldiers.
They are also thinking about issuing more
bonds or fixing up graded income tax to
raise revenue in place of the tariff, which
they propose to take off imported goods.
1t will take whole heap of brains to run
the country successfully in the next four
years. There's a cyclone coming.

NON-PARTIsAN.

1t is believed that large majority of
the citizens of Olympia are in favor of a
non-partisan citizens ticket at the muni-
cipal election next Tuesday, and to that
end convention has been called to meet
tomorrow night for the purpose of nomi-
mating city officers. If this convention
shall nominate well known, able and honest
taxpayers for the offices of mayor, treas
urer, assessor and health officer, on plat
form of retrenchment and reform, there is
no doubt of their election. Partisanship in
city affairs is not wanted, but good, square
business principles are necessary to bring
Olympia out of debt and put it on the
road to progress.

cause and principles for which Benjamin
Harrison fought from the arena of politi-
cal controversy, it barred him from any
claim of preference or esteem for having
supported that cause. When it refused to
maintain the rights of the colored citizen
of the United States against violence and
usurpatiOn, which were the natural prod
uct Of the very sentiment which sought
the dissolution of the Union, it admitted
that no man was entitled to credit for haV-
ing saved the Union, or made the colored
man citizen. The apOtheosis of the Cop
