CITY CLERK RUSSELL
MAKES A REVELATION.
Mayor Ingraham is Discouraged and
Will Retire.
DEMOCRATS MAY LET A NEW
ELECTION 90 BY DEFAULT.

Much Excitement Yesterday Over the
Ignominious Collapse Of the Scheme to
Steal the Democratic Holders of
Certificates Are Fastening to Resign
The Party Much Discouraged-Young
Democrats Despondent.
1t has been many years since there has
been in this town such tremendous polit-
ical excitement as reigned yesterday.
The bold Democratic attempt to steal
the city collapsed with suddenness and
completeness that stupefied the masses
of the party, and left the leaders without
hope or resource. The most prominent
leaders had known it since the night be-
fore. City Clerk John Russell, who was
knowing to the method by which the
Ward vote had been manipulated, de-
termined during Wednesday that he
should make clean breast of the whole
affair. The leading Democrats were
called together at the Office Of Strout
Gage d Strout, and there Mr.. RUSSELL
Mayor Ingraham and others of the City
hall officials discussed the situation with
others of their party.
The first sign that the scheme Eto steal
the city had broken down was the ap-
pearance of Mayor Ingraham's letter de-
clining to accept the Office on account of
the Ward 1svote. This letter was sent to
the PRESS Office about midnight. It was
in reality an unfailing sign that Mr.. In
graham had decided to desert the ship,
although the reasons which prompted
it were not then apparent. But about
noon they became apparent, when an ex-
ira edition of the PRESS appeared upon
the streets, detailing how City Clerk
Russell had revealed the whole plot. This
account, which will be found below, Gre
ated tremendous sensation.
Mr.. Russelrs revelations were fully
backed up by the examination of the
check lists. This examination was made
by Benjamin Thompson, Esq, and Mr..
v. Richard Foss. They examined also
the ballot box of Ward /, in which War
den Harper had returned an unburned
portion of the votes. The revelations of
this examination were remarkable.
There were found on the check list a
total of 1916 names. Of these
there were checked as voting 1853.
1t. will be remembered that Warden
Harper returned the entire vote of Ward
as 1247. It,will thus be seen that the
warden must have added just 81 votes to
make out enough to count Ingraham in.
d IL not probable that this addition is
the only fraud in Ward 1. Probably
some of Baxter's votes were counted for
Ingraham. But the most surprising rev
Citations were found when the ballot box
of Ward / was examined. Warden
sTom'' Harper did not burn all the bal
lots. He left 635 in the box, and these
1856 told an interesting story. In brief it
was found that five of them were blanks
leaving $50 that were votes. 1t was
found that on SO of these there were no
votes at all on the ward line question
Yet it will be remembered that Warden

He came out of the army with chronic di-
arrhea, liver trouble, rheumatism, and his
nervous system badly affected. The
swamps of the South had poisoned his sys-

Physicians and remedies without number
were tried, in vain hopes of finding some
relief from his complication of troubles,
but all without avail. Years passed away,
and he felt doomed to a life of agony.
Fortunately for Mr.. Wentworth his atten-

Democrats would probably make no

Gratis to vote for him. The Democracy
in this town is fearfully disheartened,

A dispatch from Portland under date
Of yesterday, in reference to the cut in
rates, says that Assistant General
Freight Agent Fulton, of the Northern
Pacific, said tonight that his company
had met the cut in rates made by the
Great Northern. The former COM
pany's new rates are the same as those
fits Northern rival. General West
ern Freight Agent Campbell, of the
Union Pacific, has not been advised
what course his company will pursue
but thinks it will also meet the cut.
He says the new rates will be perma-
nent, unless the Southern Pacific and
North American steamship come to an
an agreement and advance rates, in
which event Hill may also advance his
and the others may fall into line.

After evoking warm controversy In
the board of aldermen, the Great
Northern franchise, granting right-Of
way over certain streets in Seattle to its
depot grounds, passed the house of dele
gates and was signed by its president
with hardly a dissenting voice. AS a
simple business proposition Mr. Hill
merits the concessions granted TO him
by the official bodies of Seattle. In all
good faith he made expensive pur-
chases of depot grounds, and in order
to reach them with his trains needed
considerable right-of-way. Not to
grant this would have embarrassed the
Great Northern in its movements, and
this would have reacted on the city.
The presence of the Great Northern in
Seattle will enhance its property and
give employment to a large force of
workmen, so that the concessions are
not mere gifts, but investments on
which the city in common with the
railroad will realize large gains. This
statement will hold good for Fairhaven
when the Great Northern begins its
movements here.

Good Advice.

The late Uncle Rufus Hatch left some
thing more than few hundred thousand
of dollars to his children. He bequeathed
them some good advice which they
ought to remember. In his will he says
do not wish my boys to go to college, but to
receive a commercial education. Should any
of them, however, wish to become a lawyer
doctor or clergyman, then he may go to col.
lege, but much prefer that my sons should
learn a mechanical trade so that they will
always be sure of an honest livelihood.
most strongly warn my children not to use
tobacco in any shape or form, nor touch, taste
or use wine or liquor in any way.
Earnestly desire that my children shall not
gamble in any way for money, as their fd.her
has had experience sufficient 10 seTpe for oil pos
tertty.
The last words of the quotation are
italicized. They should be given as
much publicity as possible. The dark
est hour of young mans life is when he
imagines there is an easier way to get a
dollar than to work for it honestly.

GOVERNOR PENNoYER. governor is man
of powerful physique and is better fitted for
business than professional pursuits. At
least he 80 concluded in 1852, when he
abandoned the practice of law and peda-
gogy and embarked in the lumber business.
His subsequent ventures have been very
successful, and he is now the proprietor of
one Of the largest and most profitable saw
mills in the state.
In politics, too, Governor Pennoyer has
been fortunate. He was a Democrat when
he went to Portland in 1855, but not till 80
years later did he attain political promi-
hence He took conspicuous part in the an
ti-Chinese agitation Of 1856 and was NOM
mated for mayor, but was defeated. In 1886
he was elected governor by large plural
ity and was reelected on the Democratic
ticket in 1890. Immediately after the Oma-
ha convention Of July 4, 1892, Governor
Pennoyer came out for Weaver and Fields
and has since been recognized as one of the
leading spirits of the Peoples Party.
Governor Pennoyer first achieved ma
tional notoriety by asserting his guberna-
torial dignity in 1891, when President Har-
rison made his memorable tour of the coun-
try. During the trip the president was fire.

that our coinage be reconstructed ON that

edge of the situation, but definite plans for
the solution of the difficulties which en-
viron the red man. One of the dangers that
threaten the existence of poor 10 is the
rapid appropriation by white settlers of the
broad prairies which have for generations
furnished refuge and sustenance for the
Indian. The new organization proposes to
confront this dilemma and has been named
the National Indian Land Adjustment
league.
The league proposes to fight the en-
croachments on the Indians domain and
will take immediate steps to contest the
opening of the Cherokee strip. 1t will also
interest itself with the commission APP
pointed by the president to negotiate with
all the tribes in the southwest for the ex-
tinguishment of the tribal relations. The
league believes that once the land question
is settled the Indian problem will solve it
self
Miss Emma c. Sickels, the president of
the league, has lived for years among the
Indians and has the confidence and venera-
ton of all the tribes. She established the
boarding school for Indian youth at Pine
Ridge under the auspices Of the govern
ment eight years ago During her life on
the frontier Miss Sickels witnessed many
Indian outbreaks and frequently acted as d
peacemaker. The Indians call her 1.-THE
White Queen Who Leads All Her People

racy of education for the civilization of the
Indians, but believes that an immediate adj
justment of the land difficulty is an urgent
necessity.
Concerning one effect of placing Indian
children for a temporary term in eastern
schools Miss Sickels says; 1.-The eastern
schools are valuable for showing white peo-
pie the capability of Indian youth, but the
contrast is very painful when students re-
turn to their homes after an absence Of
three years. The look of desperation which
came over the faces of some girls who
amid the joy of home coming had forgotten
that they must go back to their life In the
ltepee, with all that meant for them, &C
counted to large degree for the fact that
those who do go back to barbarism sink to
lower depths. They are driven by a des-
peration born of knowledge Of better
things"
