Work Of the Republicans.


The American presents 70 its readers the results
of the deliberations OF tie Republican state con-
vention, clean and ssrong ticket, deserving
the undivided support and the vote OF every
true Republican, and manly platform that
cannot fail to command the respect OF all who
read it.
The ticket throughout il composed Of men
well fitted for the positions to which they as
pire, and the candidates are distributed abous
the state in q manner that leaves no room for
local jealousieo or dissatisfaction. 1t 10 true
that eksgit county was disappointed-
very sorely dissppoiHted. for every Re-
publican in the county had cherished
in his heart desire to see Dr.. g. v. Calhoun
the standard bearer Of bis party during this
crest contest They know him well and respect
him a man among men, and one who would
fill the of1cs OF governor with dignity
and credit to himkslf and those who
elected him. Yet this disappointment,
great - it may be. will not prevent
skagit county Republicans from rolling
up handsome majority for the man who de-
feated their favorite and for the ticket that was
nominated by the assistance OF our county del.
egation. There 10 satisfaction even in defeat;
for to be conquered in political battle BY .
man of the high standing and popularity OF
John H McGraw does not cause the disappoint-
ment that might otherwise have resulted.
should James Hamilton Lewis raceive the
nomination on the Democratic ticket, - now
seems probable, thus throwing the contest be-
tween two King county men, there will Be no
question about the result OF the slectton-Mr.
McGraw will be elected BY handsome ma
1ority: and It 10 generally conceded that Mr..
Lewis 10 the strongest man In the Democratic
party.
The platform 10 clear cut and leaves no room
to doubt the position OF the party. With one
exception. the Lake Washington canal clause,
the platform was adorsed witout opposition.
The opposition to this clause was the
outgrowth Of local jealousy. There are
but few people living outside OF Tacoma
who question the wisdon1 OF governmental con-
strucrion of the canal II will benefit Seattle
doubtless more than any other section of the
state, but the influence ef it, benefits would Be
widespreading and would b felt BY every sec
ton of our state.

and overthrow by the convention.
The spirit thus displayed is TO be COM
mended. 1t will win for Mr.. Lewis, Mr..
Ronald and for the delegates the good
opinion of their fellow-citizens. But
the real test of the loyalty Of these
gentlemen to Seattle ana to King
county is to come. If they cannot with
loyalty stand on a platform founded on
hostility to their home, neither can they
with loyalty support the candidates
who do stand on that platform. If they
cannot themselves become responsible for
the doctrines set forth by the convention.
they cannot ask their feiiow-citizens to
support the men who do.
The real test Of loyalty is to come. II
Mr.. Ronald, Mr.. Lewis and the King
county delegates come home asking their
fellow-citizens to support platform hos
tile to their home, to vote for the candi-
dates who stand On that platform, we may
conclude that the heroic self-abnegation
and declination of nominations was but
. mummery and a by-play. gone through
with for the edification of the galleries.
But one honorable and consistent course
is open to the men Of King county, and
Mr.. Lewis, Mr.. Ronald and the delegates
know what that course Is.
The real test of ioyalty.is to come. We
shall see how the representatives Of King
county meet IL.

Imbued with the patriotic dash aud discipline

characterized by the sction Of the Pierce county
delegation--the Mugwunip Ledger to the con.
trary notwithstanding.
More was done at this convention to make
harmony between the c6unties OF Pierce and
King than the Ledger can disentregrate by its
present dog-in the manger course.
Pierce county asked sor Congressman and

ton thereto. got tho ohairmanship Of tho
state central comntsse, president and
secretary OF the Republican league. "She got
all she wantcd-but she didn't" She didn't
want the canal Endorsement. and she didn't
want Aliens indorsement. either-Mr. Nelson

Those papers in this state that oppose the

Every Intelligent person knows that the fsasi-

whose acquaintance with tho history OF this
question is respectable. knows that every Of
fetal report, made BY entirely disinterested and
capable committees, has unQualifedly Endorsed
the building OF the "ditch, az il is sarcastcally
designated by its present opposera. These re-
ports have not only heartily favored the con-
struction of the canal, but have brought for.
ward unanswerable arguments in it, support.
The claim, then, that the canal would not be

unanimous memorials of territorial and state

officers OF the navy and congressman. This il

paid one dollars taxes in the state.
The charge made upon the canal is proved BY
the testimony OF an undisputed record to be
false. The real marrow of the attack lies alone
in tho hope that sectional feeling may be
aroused, that 1t may obtain sufficient mo.

sEATTLE. FRIDAY. AUG. 20.


The Democratic party has arrayed itself
deliberately, distinctly, unequivocally.
against the people of King county and
their interests. 1t has said in effect that
no government money should be expended
on public improvements within the borders
of King county. Such Improvements are
all right so long as they are within the
borders Of Pierce county, Of Thurston
county, of any other county of the state,
but King county must understand that it
is to receive no favors Of any kind SO long
az it is within the power of the Democratic
party to prevent 1t.
The CLEAN OF sense and fairness which
induced the convention to vote down the
anti-canai plank and accept the COM
promise on Wednesday evening flickered
and was soon obscured. The convention
assembled yesterday afternoon deter
mined to insult and humiliate King
county, to heap upon its delegation every
indignity that ingenuity could devise.
When in the face of the final conflict
the King county delegation behaved
nobly. 1t assumed at last the position
which it should have taken in the begin
ming. 1t flung aside oil thought of COM
promise. and made gallant fight for the
interests of the people whom It repre-
scented. The rally, however, came too
late. The effort was fruitless. The mis-
chief had been done, and could not be
undone. The convention refused to hear
the appeals of King county's delegation.
and adopted platform pledging the party
TO continuous and unending opposition to
the Lake Washington canal.
This action cannot easily be explained
on any ground other than that Of unreal
soning hostility to King county. It was
not due to hostility to public improve
ments in general, for of all the improve.
ments actual or proposed within the state,
the Lake Washington canal alone was
singled out for condemnation. 1t was not
due to fear that appropriations for the
canal would interfere with those for the
Columbia river improvement, for the same
argument would hold against every other
proposed i'm Improvement. Against the Coos
bav improvement, costing more than four
millions, for instance. no protest was
raised. The convention had insults for
King county alone.
We doubt if there has ever before in tho
Urited States been an instance in which
the convention Of q political party
adopted resolutions opposing appropria-
tons for n public improvement within
the borders OF its own state. This SUI.
preme act Of hatred and contempt was re-
served for the Democracy of Washington
to perform with King county as its OBJ
made the issue. The people will have
their say in November, and their voice
will be raised in manner which will not
be misunderstood.

declares for tariff. for revenue only, the
Washington state Democracy declares for
q scheme of tariff reform that could not be
realized under the Chicago plank. The
Chicago platform declares against free sil-
yer coinage and against dishonest
dollar, while the Washington state plat

of American silver, which means . dis
