The Republicans Of the King county
delegation, with one or two notable ex-
ceptions, have every reason to feel proud
of the course they have pursued in the
senatorial contest. In spite of the most
insidious attempts to undermine their 10y
atty they have remained true to the end.
They have consistently and ably repre-
scented the wishes OF their constituents.
and have refused to be seduced from the
performance Of aplain duty. Repeated
attempts were made to encourage the
candidacy of some King county man, and
il is possible that the Turner faction in
their blind and unreasoning hostility TO
Senator Allen would have supported a
candidate from this county. They would
have done 1t, however. with the sinister
motive of inIuring King county with the
balance of the state.
The people of the state will now appre-
ciate more than ever that King county can
always be relied upon to do her duty.
The honor of the county has been at stake
in this contest. and the representatives of
the county have nobly vindica,ed il. All
honor TO them for having done so.

Tho United States senate. by the cleo
ton of William N. Roach, Democrat, to
be United States senator from North
Dakota, passed under Democratic control.
The senate is composed OF lightweight
members. and the election of Mr.. Roach
gave the Democrats clear half OF the whole
number possible, and that, with the vice
presidents vote in case of tie. puts the
Democratic party in control of the senate
for two years at least. This is a clear Demo-
cratic control without counting the votes
of the four Populists or silverite senators,
who have voted with the Democracy so
often that a Democratic friend Of ours
describes them as "Pagans with decided
leanings toward Christianity"
The legislatures of Wyoming, Montana
and Washington have adjourned without
choosing a senator. The Republican gov
ernor of Montana has appointed Repub-
lican to the vacancy; the Democratic
governor of Wyoming has appointed a
Democrat. and Gov. McGraw will doubt
less appoint John B. Allen.

Il 10 unfortunate that a man of the abil.
ity of Judge Turner should have 30 early
in his political career committed fatal
mistake. He has deliberately and wan
toniy betrayed his party and set at de-
fiance the will of the people. A man who
has once shown himself to be so entirely
devoid OF sound political principles can
never again hope for recognition at the
hands of the Republican party or Of any
other party. The men who have used him
as q figurehead in the senatorial contest
have succeeded in dragging him down to
their level.
Hereafter Judge Turner will occ my the
