FALSE AFFIDAvITs.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found q
number of affidavits published yesterday
by the Tacoma Neus. The Ne,cs is virtu-
ally Mr.. Nelson Benefits evening organ,
and he uses 1t for the publication of mat
ter which he does not desire to have ap-
pear in the columns of the Ledger, think
ing thus to avoid responsibility.
Through the columns of the Ne,es, there
fore, Mr.. Bennett publishes these at6da-
Wits, which he purchased from men who
have by their own confession obtained
money under false pretenses, and who are
in addition blackma;lsrs. In one Of these
affidavits is included an alleged letter
from Mr.. F. J. Grant. This letter is not
published as written, but has been changed.
either by the makers of the affidavit or by
Mr.. Bennett, who purchased it of them,
or by the editor of the News, to whom he
gave it for publication. A letter from Mr..
Grant setting forth these facts will also be
found in another column.
The purchase of these false affidavits
from such men and the changing of this
letter indicate how far Mr.. Bennett and
his co-laborers are willing to go to secure
Democratic success.

FALSE CHARGES TO BE MADE

The revelations made Yesterday by the
Posr-IsTELLIeEScER regarding the past
career of Mr. Henry ]. Snively fell with
crushing force upon the Democracy OF
Washington. The impossibility OF refut-
ing them or explaining them away was at
once apparent TO all.
In the hope OF breaking the force OF
these disclosures the Democratic papers in
various parts of the state are preparing to
make united onslaught upon Mr.. John
Fl. McGraw, Republican candidate for
governor. They have already descended
so far in their campaign of vituperation
and mud-slinging that they are prepared
to hesitate at nothing. Their only hope
of saving Mr.. Snively is by assailIng Mr..
McGraw.
Mr.. McGraw has lived in thi. city for
fifteen years or more and is known to
every business man in Seattle. He is not
fugitive from justice, an absconder or an
embezzler. If anybody has just claim
against him it would be easy to recover,
for Mr.. McGraw's property is in his own
name. 1t has never been necessary for
him to conceal the ownership of anything
that was his.
As has been said, Mr.. McGraw is resi-
dent of this city. He is honored and re-
spected; he is known to all. These facts
are in themselves refutation Of any
charge of wrong-doing that is liable to be
brought against him. From now until
the end of the canvass falsehood and even
perjury will be resorted to to make it appear
that Mr. McGraw is as unfit for governor
as is Mr.. Snively.
No intelligent man should be misled by
these falsehoods. Mr.. McGraw is per-
fect!y willing to be judged by his past
record. 1t is one of uprightness and

Here again Mr.. Snively Is wrong. No
body went to him with these atfidavits,
nor did the PosT-IrrELLIGFyc purchase
them of anybody. Mr.. Snively Will notice
that the oldest affidavit published was
made on October s, just two weeks ago,
and that it came from Yves. Virginia since
that time. The man who visited Mr..
snively with affidavits several weeks
ago" mus: have been in possession OF

IL COSTSglOU NOTHING.

We are pleas to announce that we

our subscribers years subscription
to that we'll known home and farm
monthly journal, the American Farm
er, published at Springfield and Cleve-
land, Ohio. We make this offer to

The American Farmer is strictly ma

tertaining and instructive reading
matter. containing each month much
information that is invaluable to agri-
culturalists and of special interest to
each member of every home. It's not
a class publication and is suited to all

up and character, thus meeting with

is carefully edited. The various de-
partments of Farm. Horticulture,
Sheep and Swine, The Home, The
Horse, and the Dairy, are filled with
bright and useful matter. The read

with it in every true mans breast the
great Importance of the rightful use
OF it. Every privilege carries with it
grave responsibilities which cannot he
laid upon the shoulders of any other.
We must meet them or be unloyal TO
our country and untrue to ourselves.
Let each Democrat awake to these re-
sponsibilities, and let us so completely
bury the opposition this fall that in
future it will never arise again. Let
us place our disapproval so significant
~ upon 1t this time that they will at
least never again present a Read and
Burn" candidate to the people for
their votes.
No man who is true to his country.
true to his family, true to his neigh
| boris interest, and true to himself, can
afford to stay away from the ballotbox
in this election. There is no place on
the fence" for single man in this
contest. Silence in this fight would
amount almost to a crime.
! L1i tn Q camp-iires of D. m ocracy be
ablaze in every county and bailiwicl1
in this district until Cleveland, Steven
son and Allen shall have received every
single Democratic vote in the District
on Nov. s, next.
| call attention to the fact that the
great mass of the people of this Dis
trict do not know who the Dem ocratic
Electors for this State are Let every
Democratic newspaper in the District
exert itself to thoroughly publish these
names, and lot me urge upon the diff
lerent county executive committees
the great Importance of devising some
means whereby every voter in this
county shall know the name of each
democratic elector
The Importance of this matter grows
out of the fact that under; the present
| system of voting, the electors of all
the different political parties will all
be on one ticket and not designated by
the party by which they have been
nominated. Therefore knowledge up.
on this question is absolutely essential
to intelligent voting.
Permit me to predict that success to
the democracy this fall means a long
lease of power to that nartv occompo
MED with prosperity 10 the country
| and a just and economical administra-
| ton of governmental affairs.
Democracy expects every man to
do his duty" in this contest.
Respectfully,
