ont waiting to see what the regular parties
would DO believe il has simply given aid
and encouragement to the perpetuation OF
the present rotten administration OF city
affairs. am glad to say that was one
of the twelve, who. at the meeting last
Saturday night voted against the precipi-
tate action of nominating
ticket, and thus dividing the moral
forces of the city. i believe that the citi.
zens' action will defeat the very object of
the honest members of the league and that
the only ones who will be benefited are ne
tricksters and boodlers who have disgraeed
our city by their Encouragement during
the past two years. | am no politician
and l want no Office. | am a property
owner and want 10 see this city managed
as business enterprise and upon an hoh-
orabIe basis. That is my only interest in
this matter. For that reason do not pro-
pose TO lend aid or supper; to a movement
that will divide .he honest, moral forces
of the city and give the scaiawags q chance
to slip into power again"
Although John Y. Terry was appointed
three weeks ago to succeed Col. George G.
Lyon as receiver of the local land office,
he has received no Official notice of his
appointment and confirmation. He has
arranged for bondsmen and will be ready
10 qualify as soon as the notice comes. 81

said Mr.. Terry last evening. "and was
confirmed two weeks ago today. w. p.
Watson, who was appointed surveyor
general of this state at the same time that
/ received my appointment, is in the same
fix. 1t is all right, though, and we ought
10 hear from Washington City most any
time now. I'm expecting a letter every
day. | suppose my appointment will
come up In the regular routine order of
business, and be disposed of when its
turn comes Henry Blaekman, of Hepp-
ner. Or, who was appointed collector of
internal revenue for this district, went
through the same experience. He was APP
pointed on the Sth, confirmed on the 18th,
but did not receive his commission until

Lyon is ready 10 turn the office over TO
Mr.. Terry rs soon as the latter qualities.

A general mass meeting will
be called for some evening the latter part
of the week, which will probably be held
at the armory. The Seven Wise Men con-
shutting the nominating committee of the
league are still seeking light in regard to

men and delegates. If the present wave
of enthusiasm for the ticket does not stop

SEATTLE, Feb. 10. 1894.
To THE EDITOR: Please allow me through ,
the Posr-lNTEILIsEScER TO saw few
words to my Repu olican friends who think
OF voting the citizens ticket. Be not de-
ceived by the Seven Wise Men nor the loo
select committee. Thereh evidence that
it is shrewd Democratic trick to divide
aud defeat the Republican ticket. The
leaders know well that it
would be useless to try TO induce Rspub- |
Leans to vote for another Democratic re-
orm administration, SO they started the |
boom for the Citizens party. Remember |
that every Republican vote for that ticket |
IS half vote for the regular Democratic |
ticket. Remember, siso. that every Dem |
ocrat on the Citizens ticket is Democrat |
still. and will act in the intsreet of the /
Democratic party. l.. W. kEEsE.
J. :. Goldsmith will not run on the ciii-
zens' ticket for fire commissioner. He was |
nominated without being consulted, aud |
" hen ne heard of the action of the Seven |
Wise Men ct once wrote 10 Hon. A. 4. |
Denny declining the place on the ticket. /
MIR. Goldsmith is one OF the leading buss-
ness men of the city, MS time Is fully /
occupied, and g political office would be
burden rather than an honor. Moreover, /
Mr. Goldsmith Is of Ehe opinion that the
Citizens League has gone aDout getting |
good government in an unfortunate way,
and that 1t will defeat its own object b. its
pfceipitate action.
