PROTECTION FOR THE BALLOT BOX

The bill repeating the Federal election
law had hardly been signed by President
Cleveland when Tammany Democratic
Inspector of Elections Dunphy was con-
victed of frauds upon the ballot In New
York city. This conviction and the ex-
posure and conviction of McKane, Demo-
cratic boss OF Gravesend, n Y, for frauds
upon the ballot box are convincing proofs
that it cannot be surrounded with too
much protection. The frauds committed
by Mckane might easily have changed the
vote of New York state, and if perpetrated
in presidential election might have
placed defeated candidate in the White
House. Democratic frauds upon the ballot
box in New York city in 1874 made James
X. Polk president. and Tammany Halls
manipulation of the vote of New York city
in 1884 defeated James G.. Blaine and
elected Grover Cleveland.
The Democratic Times, of Richmond.
Va, is today exposing the frauds of its
own party in that state. The so-cslled
Anderson Mccormick law of Virginia
places the entire control of the ballot
boxes in the hands of the Democratic
party. The frauds perpetrated under this
law have been outrageous, but the Repub-
hcans had no remedy. The Democrats did
as they chose, but these frauds have be-
come so fragrant that the Democratic
Richmond Times refuses to condone them
any longer, and recently 1t covered one
page of its Issue with proof of the frauds
psrpetrated in Henrico county, and for
two months past it has had daily leading
article making direct charges of fraud.
From the days when Aaron Burr was its
corrupt leader in New York state, the
Democratic party has been the perperrator
and defender of fraud on the ballot box.
and it signalizes its return to full national
power after an absence of thirty-two years
ey repeating the best Federal law ever
passed to make the ballot free and fair.

OF no less Importance than voting for
the best men on election day is the duty of
voting at the primaries for delegates who
will see that the best men are nominated
at the convention. One of the most ssri-
Gus difficulties with which the people have
TO contend is the apathy of Republicans
who claim to desire good government, but
who ignore party machinery.
At the primaries men are voted for to
act as delegates 20 the party convention
who shall agree upon the most available,
and should agree upon the best, men to
nominate. If the delegates are not good
citizens they cannot be expected to make
good nominations.
1t is the duty, Therefore, very seriou.
and responsible duty-of every Republican
to attend his ward meetings and by talk
ing and acting insure that his influence
may be felt. He should scan his ticket at
the primary election and do his best to
give a decisive vote for reputable and
forcibIe delegates.
There never was in this city a municipal
election when the voters generally were so
we'll informed as to the issues, SO deeply
interested in the result and 80 free from
influences except those which combine to
insure good government as against those
who seek Office for merely selfish ends.
Ii the citizens of Seattle do not succeed
this year in electing to Office men who can
be depended upon to bring about the best
results they will be themselves to blame.
If there 10 any man who thinks that the
ward organization is not all he desires it
TO be, he is free 10 stand up and express
himself aud join his neighbors in over
coming any inimical force. There are
surely enough good Republicans in the
city to oyermaster those who are suspected
OF sinister designs. The ward clubs and
the primaries are the places 10 effect thls.
/. can be done there within party lines.

Senator Dolph Not Indicted.

WASHINGTON CRY. Feb. 1S.-[Special.l-
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, has been
having great deal of iun lately with his
colleague, Senator Dolph. Dispatches
published In the Washington City Post re-
porting the arraignment in the United
States circuit court at Portland of Whit
ney L. Boise. chairman of the Republican
state central committee for Oregon, also
stated that the same indictment included
the names of 1.-TWO prominent senator's"
which the district attorney refused to
make public at the present time, on the
ground that it would be detr mental to
the prosecution of the cases now under
way. Mitchell pointed this out to
polph and said: II don't see how the
Democrats have been able to trump up a
charge against me, but / am afraid they
are after you, senator. Here is Gearin,
the deputy United States district sttor-
ney, in the city, and Coleman, the chief
deputy United States marshal, and all in
all it looks pretty bad" Senator Dolph
is q man who isn't given very much to
joking himself, and therefore doesn't par
ticularly enjoy 1t on the part of others.
Besides, the fact that c. ]. Mulkey,
ex-Chinese inspector at Portland and
the couHu, VINO was convicted OF aiding
and abetsing the illegal landing of
many Mongolians. is Senator Dolph's
brother-in-law, brought the matter too
near home to be enjoyed by anybody.
Deputy United States District Attorney
Gearin was asked about the matter and
stated that no senator's. not even state
senators. had been implicated in the
smuggling of either Chinese or opium.
When ii was suggested that the telegraph
operator might have made mistake in
the transmission of the message, and that
two prominent citizens" were meant in
stead of senators" Mr.. Gearin said even
were that the case the real mistake was
made by the person in Portland who wrote
the dispatch, since no prominent citi-
zens" and no one at ali had been indicted
in connection with Boise, or separately.

transport the miners supplies on their
way to the Yukon. According to his
statements he will leave with the first
party for Dyea. having his wire cable
and all the necessary outfit. He
will use sleds made out of the
hides OF hair seal, for the first season, and
il the plant pays. he will build a more
permanent tramway next year. lie figures
that he can handle between 200 and 800
pounds of freight in each skin sled On
Wednesday, January Il, he made an ex-

He raised up the hillside for q distance of
