behalf of his friend and former business


behalf of his friend and former business
associate, Saunders.
The impression has gone abroad that
the local Democracy is about evenly di-
vided in its allegiance to Tibba!s and
Saunders. Close investigation proves that
such is not the case. III. L. TibbaIs, ir..
presents something Of q paradox in that he
- politically popular while not personally
popular. As politician he is energetic
and aggressive and has speedily pushed
his way to the front. As chairman of the
democratic county committee during the
faIi campaign, he was particularly indus.
trious and noisy, and while his methods
may not at all times have been above
reproach. he certainly did good service for
his party. His present following is al
most entirely made up Of those who ex.
pect either direct or indirect returns from
the patronage which would be at his dis
posal as collector. and it thus lacks the
quality of fdisinterestedness.
On the other hand. the appointment Of
James {. Saunders is earnestly hoped for.
not only by great majority Of the local
Democrats. but by the most prominent
and influential citizens. regardless of polit.
ical faith, who cannot be actuated by
any other motives than the desire
for pure and honest administration Of
the customs service. During the first
three years of Cleveiand's previous term
Saunders acted as his personal secretary.
In 1SSS he was given an important mission
connected with the customs service of this
district, after the performance of which
he became . resident Of this city. Saun-
ders is recognized by everybody as . man
OF ability and integrity. Though of .
quiet and unpretentious disposition, the
recent unprecedented successes of the
Democracy in this county are chiefly at
tributable to his shrewd counsel and tireless
yet unostentatious work. As Q business
man, and in his social relations as well. he
has the confidence and esteem Of the en-
tire community.
1t 10 now generally conceded that the
influence upon which Tibbals places
greatest reliance to effect the fulfllment
of his aspirations will prove the most
potent factor in bringing about his defeat.
This is the Endorsement of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company, of which
Tibbals has been local agent for many
years.
There is . general feeling here that the
appointment to the Customs cellectorship
of one 80 closely identified with tho inter-
ests of the steamship corporations, - il
Tibbals, would be . stroke of very bad
policy on the part Of the administration.

This action was brought to compel the

ministrator of the estate of Sarah B. Yes
Ter, deceased. to tract Of ten acres prom
ised by Sarah B. Yesler on July 80, 1887, to

nus for the construction of Q cable road
from Elliot bay to Lake Washington, the
said ten acres having been Afterwards
granted to Carrie A. Rochester.
The court holds that the alleged contract
of July 80, 1887. does not constitute . writ
ten contract to convey any particular land
and that it falls within the statute Of
frauds and therefore cannot be enforced,
unless it is supported by possession prior
to the death of Mrs. Yesler. A review Of
tho testimony leads the court to the con-
cluslon that the construction of the road
was not commenced until the early part of
the year 1883. while Mrs. Yesler's death
occurred August %. 1887. and that it il
PLAIN that no possession of the land in dis
pute was taken until several months sub
sequent to her death. The lower court il
directed to dismiss the case.

Internationally is all that Is necessary
now 20 accomplish the end for which the
gold party have struggled from the begin
ming.
The Demo cratic party promised first OF
all reform # the tariff. Tariff reform is
no longer talked of, except in bated breath.
The east proposes to formulate tariff pol
icy on the lines of the original Chicago
platform brought forward by the protec-
ton element Of the Democratic party, and
not in harmony with the substitute finally
adopted by the convention. They now also
propose TO repeal the Sherman law without
granting the free coinage part of our plat
form. The est rode the Republican party
down TO disaster aud death: now they are
bestride the necks of the Democrats. The
east seem to have no use for the govern
ment-especially the west and southwest
portion of it except 10 wiring the last drop
OF sweat and blood from the people.
our eastern friends seem to regard the
Democratic p atfOrm and the silver queS
ton as mere see saw As the Sherman
law end goes down the free coinage end
must go up il mid air and remain sus-
pended there. 1t is plain to all now that
they played huge bunco game on the De-
mocracy of the south and west by Justify
preaching taft reform-a measure SO pop
ular here-bur at the same time intending
| to spring upon us after the election the
sole issue of silver decentralization. II the
representatives of the west and south are
true to themselves and the interests Of
their constituents this conspiracy Will not
succeed. If they are recre2nt the people

The repeal IF the Sherman law outright
and substitute nothing for it would pre-
cipitate silver panic throughout the
world and probably cause the universal
decentralization, a contamination devoutIy
wished by the gold party. 1t seems to me
no true friend of silver could advocate
such policy If we ever intend the free
coinage of silver in this country we must
war for it now-right now"

A synopsis of the letteris as follows: THE
war between gold monometallists and bj
metaIlists is now intensely fragrant. Men
and parties As well as public journals must
take the one side or the other; there is no
room for trimmers or doubters The
Sherman law must go, but its expiring
breath must breathe into life legislation
on the lines of true bimetallism. The timid
in our ranks have brought US TO the expe.
dent of the Sherman law and now insist
on further waiting,
Had we adopted the free coinage bill
that had passed through the house of
representatives in the last session of the
Forty-fourth congress all would have been
settled in favor of bimetallism. Had the
senate agreed to this bill or the subsequent
one that had passed in the Forthwith
congress, we would have no silver ques-
ton today. But no, we must wait: wait
till France and the Latin Union get i'm
patient with us and put further limits to
their silver coinage. During last congress
did all l could to pass free coinage bill
in the house the senate having already
passed it. But no, the tariff was the great
issue We must first reform the tariff
Now the tariff is brushed aside that
silver decentralization may be accom-
plished. Had we then passed free coin
age bill the question would have been
settled We would not have been con-
fronted with the British demonetizing
