and the records show that 4 Demo
cratic board refused the outrageous
request.
Some Remarkable Facts.
Have you not observed that
Every candidate on the Republican
State ticket is taken from the profess
sion Of the law?
That the Republican speakers who
are now swinging around the circle"
attempting to enlighten the old-time
residents regarding their duty in local
matters, are all very new to the country
and fresh in their manners.
That the best places on the Republi-
can county ticket have been appor-
toned to candidates who pay little or
no tax, and whose sole mission in life
seems to be to hold oflicc-who are,
in the fullest sense of the term, alb
sorbers and not producers?
That the Sixty-Dollar Clerk" who
was so iacetious over the reduction OF
salaries and the number of the county
employees rs to direct people having
money to pay to the treasurer during
his temporary absence, to "throw it
over the transom," occupies front
seat in the Republican band.wagon.
That this same man has not drawn
breath in this city at any time he
was not sucking official sap, and that
he was imported from Seattle, with a
teat in his mouth?
That the Governors Sancho Panza,
one of the Republican candidates for
Representative, has done his level best
to down Union labor in all his business
transactions?
That Mr.. Fenton the other candi.
date for Representative is so incom-
petent that he cannot even take part
in the school-boy performance of
"speakin' piece" part which even
Leach thinks he is competent to per.
form?
That the Republican meetings are
devoid of enthusiasm; that despite the
exertions of the central committee to
galvanize the corpse of the party into
something like life, its chairman is
compelled to announce that all effort
has been unsuccessful.
That the Republican party in this
county has had ample opportunity to
have instituted an economic admins
tration of public affairs had it had the
inclination to do so, and that its pro-
fessions now are simply in response to
the demand for economic rulers. 1t is
"forced put" as the street gamin
would say.
That the board of County Com.
missioners have instituted class dis
tinctions whereby they decree that
certain mems property shall be ex-
empt from taxation because it re-
suits in public benefit, while your
property must pay toll to the last
farthing or be sold under the Sherif's
hammer.
That the order to cancel the Olympia
hotel tax Indebtedness does not ap-
pear upon the official record of the
Commissioner proceedings, but the
Treasurer had no hesitency in can
ceiling the debt on the delinquent tax
roll. The endorsement appears in red
ink, relieving the hotel from further
lien for taxes.
That the Commissioners were i'm
PEELED to falsify the record, to aid some
Of their friends to Office, knowing that
such a record if published would result
in muct odium; that acting upon this
assumption, the Republican candidate
for reelection to the Office of Com
missioner, Mr.. Osborne, over his sigma
ture explicitly denies that an order re-
hitting the taxes upon the Olympia
hotel was made by the board, when
Mr.. Israel says it was done, aud the
Treasurer's books declare it was done.
That Mr.. Osborne wilfully publishes
a falsehood in making the declaration
he does, for he was present when the
agreement was made, with the under
standing that the record should not
should that it was done till the next
regular meeting of the board. But
1.-THE best laid schemes of mice and men,
Aft gang aglee.'
And the little scheme has leaked
out. This is but sample OF the Re-
publican duplicity that has placed the
people on the brink of insolvency.
