Testimony Regarding His Do
ings of the Past.
When Abraham Lincoln was president
he used sometimes to say that he thought
Thurlow Weed was one of the shrewdest
politicians whom he had ever met, and
that part of his shrewdness was due to
the training which he received in early
life when he was poor boy. Almost all
the famous men who were senators or
governors or presidents from the time that
John Quincy Adams was president until
General Grant was president knew Mr..
Weed, and had very much the same opin-
ion of him which Mr.. Lincoln did So
great politician was he that, although he
has been dead nearly fourteen years, yet
the politicians of today talk about him as
though he did wonders when alive and per-
haps has not his equal nowadays.
Mr.. Weed once said that he should ad-
wise all young men who are ambitious to
gain distinction in political life to do three
things: One, always to keep promises, no
matter at what sacrifice; another, never to
make bargain to secure a nomination for
office; third, to cultivate the widest &C
quaintance, and having made friends, to
stand by them through thick and thin.
'By observing these three rules" he said,
"any young man of fair abilities and good
habits can look forward to distinguished
honors in public life"
The charges against Mr.. SniveIy are the

McGraw, the record of the legislature and
state officials, and the burden of the Seattle
ditch, were too much for the voters to
swallow, and the republican managers
recognizing this fact with the failure of the
campaign prominently before them, de-
termined to resort to the most reckless and
despicable methods. Their folly now con-
fronts them, and they know not which
way to turn. They are condemned bv the
people for inaugurating a campaign of
slander and slums, while confidence has
been re-established in Mr.. Snively by his
manly statement backed by evidence of
the strongest character from his old home.
The name of the next governor of the state
OF Washington will be Henry J. SniVely.-

Mr.. McGraw has his own peculiar views
about honor. During the last session of
the legislature he ADVISED Mr.. Metealfe
that it would be perfectly honorable" to
accept bribe, and that the people of this
state would not think any less Of him for
doing so.
This suggests a number of interesting
questions as to what Mr.. McGraw con-
siders honorable.
Does he consider it honorable to violate
bis oath of Office and permit criminals un-
der his charge to escape2
Does he consider it honorable to shoot
dow 1nnffnngiVp ritiZanq arifx 4
ing the expulsion Of the Chinese
Does he consider it honorable to per
suade his most intimate friends to indorse
his notes and then leave them to pay the
notes when he failed?
Does he consider it honorable to turn
over property to which he has no title as
security" for his indebtedness
Does he consider it honorable to treat
the bankruptcy proceedings as a release
from the repayment of these accommoda-
ton loans2
Does he consider it honorable to consort
with the Whitechapel magnates, Clancy
and Burns.-Tacoma News.
EThere is something quite picturesque
about this rise of a man from a keeper of
a disreputable gambling den to the posi-
ton of candidate fer governor asking re-
spectacle men to vote for him. There is
an unblushing etfrOntery about it that
sometimes surprises men into supporting

plenty of time for every one to admire the
etfrOntery without being carried away by
it.-Tacoma News.
McGraw says he paid Emeline Hilton her
500 after some years, but he hasn't said
yet that he ever paid Mary Cove, sewing
girl, of whom he or his firm borrowed $500
which had been left her by her mother.

You will notice how, as an old political
master workman, Mr.. Blaine treats those
points which have been too much neglect
ed by the republican newspapers of this
city. He emphasizes the fact that New
York is manufacturing town producing

Irish voters to support the American policy
of free trade, and mot to aid the demo-
cratic party in lowering the wages of labor
in America by their potential votes - Dol

Adlai E. Stevenson, the democratic can

ranks of the calamity howlers. He made
a speech in Brooklyn on Wednesday even
ing in which he declared that bankruptcy
threatens the national treasury, and that
it results, first from the Mckinley tariff
law, and second, from the lavish appropri-
ations of the fifty first congress.
