IN the state OF Washington the political game
is so made up that Seattle will vote one way
and Tacoma the other. in the state election.

will be a good deal of division throughout the

Seattles local scheme; the Democratic party
has declared against it. The further this issue
Is pushed, the more it will tend 70 array against

That the Democrats didn't quite know Just
what to do over the canal measure was very
evident from the way in which they founced
around first from one side TO the other in regard
to It That they finally condemned IL 10 prob
ably owing almost entirely to the fact that the
Republicans endorsed 1t, and there was posi-.
bility of making political capital in Pierce and
Spokane counties. The fight waxed exceed.
ingly bitter as it progressed, and whatever favor
was carried in these counties, was more than
overbalauced by the loss sustained in
others, and the upshot of the whole affair
was that they were compelled to sacrifice
for governor one of the best as well a. one Of
the most popular men in the party, J.
Hamilton Lewis, and take up with Snively, OF
North Yakima, who was not closely identified
with the factionai fght But like many COM
promise candidates, Mr.. Snively's availability
was due to the fact that he had not taken a
distinguished or even conspicuous part In any.
thing, and therefore had no strong enemies.

the laboring classes on the west side, and Is be-
aides . man of ability and courage, but he had
to so with tho canal DR.. Blalock. who was
strong with the farmers on the east side, and G.
II. Warner, who stood well with the third party
people, were both cody passed over
though both had counted on recognition In the
event OF Lewis withdrawal. Mayor Ronald, OF
Seattle, made a vigorous fight against the con.
demnatory resolution, and declared that he pro-
posed 10 stand by the people with whom he
lived If the convention read him out OF the
Democratic party. Lewis said: "Your conven.
ton adopted resolution eondemning the en-.
terprise OF my homo and censuring her friends

the convention were made. Tacoma scored an

John III. McGraw made a decided and
most favorable impression tonight at the

royal welcome and the city fairly went
wild with enthusiasm in its efforts TO
honor the next governor OF Washington.
His speech. together with Congressman
John l.. Wilson's. captured the people ana

The McGraw FIambean Club, accompanied
by 200 citizens, arrived from Seattle at
o'clock, and was met at the wharf by more
than loo voters in line. A strong south

venienced the arrangements. The pro-
cession formed on Taylor street wharf and
marched through the principal streets,
headed by bands Of music and the McGraw
Flambeau Club, followed by over loo
people in line. The city was brilliantly
illuminated by display of fireworks.
The opera house was overlooking with
people assembled to listen to the several
speakers. John II. McGraw received
grand ovation. He delivered brief and
impressive speech which made many
friends for the Republican ticket and he
paid glowing tribute to w. II. Doolittie.

recounted his stewardship of the peoples

national affairs were listened to with great
attention. A. +. Burieigh. of Seattle, was

fauit-fnding, without suggesting q remedy,
never. or rarely does good; and it IL one OF the

THE DISCOUNTED BOSS.
He Can't Take Pierce County Away
From the Republican Party.

Orting Oracle.
In June, 1892, Nelson Bennett, posing a.
leading Republican of Pierce county, asked and
received the unanimous support OF the Repub-
licans of Pierce county as a delegate to the IA.
tional convention at Minneapolis. Through
their efforts he was elected q delegate by every
vote in the state convention, and at Minneapolis
he was selected as a national committeeman for
this state. No sooner had all these occurred
than we find him attempting to dominate the
policy OF his party in this state; aud having
failed to dictate the party policy and nomlna.
tions to suit his personal use and preferences,
we now find him bolting the Re-
publican platform and ticket and hoist.
ing at the masthead OF the Ledger In
small type tho four presidential electors
named at that convention. This, to US, seems
to be q strange attitude In which to find q true
Republican, and We are of the opinion that It
is the duty OF the Republican state committee
and the Republican county committee to de-
mand of the national committee that his name
be stricken from its membership and that some
true, loyal and sensible Republican
of the state be substituted for him
as such national committeeman. As
Republican paper We deem it our
imperative duty to insist that this matter shall
not be overlooked by our committees. Nelson
Bennett must and shall either be q consistent
Republican or have no voice in the councils OF
our party. Let there be no uncertain sound
upon this important question. II we have
an enemy in our own house 1t 10 our duty
to cast him out and the sooner We cast him
out the less harm will be accomplished. We
have never been ashamed to stand by the Re-
publican party and its principles and to be loyal
to the will and wisdom OF It's chosen representa-.
tives When platform is adopted and ticket
is nominated by the Republican party it
Is done by the wisdom and consent
OF the Republicans OF the whole
state and an individual who sets himself
above the wisdom Of the whole state and at
tempts to convince through the columns of his
newspaper the Republicans of the state that
they should be disloyal to their party and its
principles is either an idiot or q knave, and we
do not desire 20 be classcd In either category.
What We have said IL meant, and meant seri.
