peculiar hairless edible dogs aboard for

these dogs home and offered it to butler in

Gyp and send him to the dog show. where
he won first prize for being the ugliest dog

Mrs. Fallon and Martin TIghe Can Ger
tify t" His Character.
GKAFToN, w. Va, Nov. 1.-TSpecial.]-
The PosT-INTELLIGENcER correspondent
today called on Martin Tighe. who is q
railroad laborer and an old and respected
citizen. He is one of H. J. Snively's vic.
tins in swindle scarcely less contempt
ible than that by which the Fallon chill
dren have lost over s., 900. asked Tighe
why Snively had not been prosecuted
crlnainally. He said:
There has been talk every year of having
snively arrested and brought back. 1t could be
done at state expense, aud have been advised
to make complaint and have it done. have
consulted others who were cheated by him, and
We have always deferred the prosecution, in the
hope that he would make up the money stolen
whes he became able. 1t might be satisfaction
to see him behind the bars. but would rather
have my money. If we Jailed him We would
stand no chance Of getting anything. l am dis
posed to wait q little longer
Tighe is good Democrat. The Posr-
1NrsLLIGENcER has published the nature
of the swindle perpetrated in this case.
Snively or the Democratic party has an
agent here who is working hard to pro-
cure contradictory evidence. 1t is sup
posed he is in the pay of the Democratic
state committee. He is making poor pro-
gress, but if the national Democratic COM
mittse request it the local leaders will fall
in ard give Snively a certificate Of char
acter.
When asked about this movement to-
days Mrs. Fallon said: "They can talk
and certify all they please. The facts are
on record, and the facts show Snively to
be thief"
Ithas been demonstrated that Snively
canrsot obtain help from his West Vir-
ginia acquaintances. Nine men out of
every ten here denounce him as a swindler
and hope to see him defeated. If he pre-
sents documents to show that citizens
have exonerated him they can be set
dowa as fraudulent Every honest man in
Grafton looks upon Sniveiy as a common
swinaler. While his infamous treatment
Of the Fallon orphans is the most heartless
thing charged against him, it is only one
case of hundred. Next to that is his
cheasing of the laboring men employed by
his firm and the accepting of money in
trust from poor people whom he has never
reimbursed. The main facts have already
been set forth in the Posr-INTELLIGENcER.
Citizens here say that he caunot shield
himself on the plea of business failure,
for his worst swindles were perpetrated
in his capacity as an attorney. He had
the confidence of the people, and he was
entrusted with the collection and invest
ment of money. If there had been no be-
traysi of trust, no MISREPRESENTATION. no
theft of money placed in his hands by
clients, the simple failure of the lumber
firm would not have been laid up against
him.. A political friend of Snively's said
today that the best use he could make of
his campaign fund would be to send three
or foisr thousand dollars of it to Grafton to
reimburse those that he defrauded there.

McGraw's Meeting 1T Aberdeen.
AbeYffeeD Rultetin

The Republican rally at Aberdeen may b
said to have been a bowling suecesa The COM
mittee Is to be congratulated on the perfection
and smooth workings Of its arrangements. Mr..
McGraw has personally greatly strengthened
his candidature in this region. His speech was
q revelation and disclosed that he is entitled to
rank in the highest grade as an administrator.
The manly stand he took on the ditch question
left no one in doubt and has determined many
who are opposed to that plank that In the hands
OF John McGraw no other neighborhood will
suffer on account of his advocacy OF that
scheme. His enemies would have us believe
that John McGraw as governor would think of
no place but Seattle. No man after hearing him
speak would believe such rot Hs has proven
him self an upright, honorable and sbrave man,
and we feel assured that when elected this great
young state will be honored in its governor and
that all parts of the state win receive their fair
share of attention.

THE sEATrLE-HATERs' CAMPAIGN.
Tacoma People Neglecting Business in
Their Fight Against This City.

TACOMA, Nov. L-fSpecial. Business is
being neglected by the Seattle-haters in
this city. They are throwing aside all
other work and devoting themselves to
one continuous denunciation of Seattle
and Mr. McGraw.
The Seattle Telegraph, the Tacoma Neies
and Tacoma Ledger constitute the fountain
of ideas OF these enemies OF Seattle. They
preach and rehash the falsehoods, ridicu-
lous and otherwise. of these anti-Seattle
papers. They swallow it all and ask no
questions.
For the balance of the campaign an
effort is to be made to stampede everybody
who has not already been dubbed into
line. Everything is done to prejudice
Tacomans against Seattle. The effort at
stampeding began last night at meeting
in the western part of the city, at which
both Democrats and Republicans Joined
in denouncing Seattle. II. c. Clement
and Others, who claim TO own the county
and state Democratic committees, were
there. together with Alexander Parker, of
80 per cent" tame, who was the Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor last spring.

Nelson Bennett's Hatred Of Seattle.

The Tacoma Ledger continues its assaults
upon Senator Allen, Seattle and the Lake Union
canal with persistency and zeal worthy of a
better undertaking SO unreasonable, intense
and deep-rooted is Tacoma's hatred for Seattle
and all that concerns her in any way, that she
cannot tolerate any influence that is disposed to
yield that place q proportionate consideration
with other cities and localities and 1t is there
fore not strange that she opposes Allen with all
the violence and bitterness so characteristic of
a selfish nature Her attitude towards Seattle
has ever been one of intolerance as reflected
through the columns of the Ledger, the organ OF
Nelson Bennett, who Is one of the largest
property owners in the city. and who has a
burning ambition to elevate himself into the
United States senate. The people are we'll satis-
fed with Mr.. Allen, and Mr.. Bennett and the
few OF his kind might as we'll learn first a. last
that they do not stand shadow OF q chance to
defeat him for denomination.

The Seattle haters say they have the DEM
ocratic organization of this county and
state under their thumb. ''They will do
just what We want them to do" are their
own exact words. the words of the Seattle
haters in speaking of the Democratic
county and state committees.

TACOMA, Nov. 1.-ESpecial. The few

city are surely making up in enthusiasm
what they lack in numbers. New and
comraodious quarters have been secured
for tie Harrison club in a large store
building on Pacific avenue, near the head
of Eighth street. The rooms have been
fitted up with benches and are we'll lighted.
Meetings will be held there during the bal
ance of the campaign. and permanent
headquarters will probably then be Sc
cured for the club, whose usefulness is not
to eng with the campaign of 1892 by any
manHer of means.
Tosight delegates from this club went
to Ofting and Steilacoom, the Flambeau
Club going to the latter place forty-five

KALAMA, Nov. Especial. l-One Of the
most enthusiastic political meetings of the
campaign was held here this evening by
the Republicans. 1t was addressed by J.
Will Lysons. of Port Townsend, and T. p.
Fiske, of Kelso. Mr.. Lysons spoke for an
hour, making an enthusiastic appeal
to the young men to stand by
the Republican party. Mr.. Fiske
followed in an able address, in which he
confined himself largely to the local Judge
ship fight, and poured hot shot into the
camp of George Bloomield's followers.
The meeting was held under the auspices
of the Lincoln Republican Club and was a
big success.
