DE. MITTES's ATTITUDE TOWARD
LABOR.

The fasionists' organ has been persistent
in Its efforts to injure DIR. Mitten's candi-
daey by incorporating bis attitude
toward labor.
Among other ways in which be has been
public spirited during his residence in
Seattle. DIR. Mitten took q prominent part
in building up the excellent system Of
street railroads. unrivaled in any city of
like size. which have done so much toward
establishing seattIe's proud position as
the leading city on PUGET sound.
Overlooking the great general advantage
arising from bis public spirit and COM
mendable enterprise in engaging in these
enterprises. the mouthpieces Of the croak-
ers and tearers-down have attempted
to find in the policy of the street rail-
road companies something Which might be
distorted into antagonism to the interests
OF the workingmen. The pitiful and pre-
posterous result OF this shabby effor. is the
charge that DIR. Mitten lis the author of a
contract which is unique in the fact that
il Is the greatest insult 10 labor ever
offered in free America" and the assertion
that he has declared that 81 so per day i.
enough pay for any workingman.
The purpose of these untruthful alega-
lions Is TO misIead workingmen into voting
against DIR. Mitten and for the uneducated
and unqualified old gentleman who is the
fusion candidate for county treasurer.
The public good Is not considered by the
authors Of the caumnies.
In this issue is published card from
DR.. Mitten. in which he nnqualifediy de-
nounces as false the assertion that he de-
ciared $50 per day to be pay enough tor
any workingman.

prepared by street railroad employees rela-
tive to the other charge against DIR. Nit

of the attempt to iniure q man who has

II is regrettable that the managers of the
fight against the Republican ticket should
have seen III TO place their main reliance
upon SANDER. After having gathered into
their ranks all manner Of rag. tag and
bobtali they stu show their lack of faith
in their strength by appealing to the
prejudiees and passions of men: and to
arouse these they set ahoat calumnies of
every sort that INSCRIPTIONS ingenuity
can devise.

Populists as Omciais.

From the amount of experience the
people of Ballard have been furnished
since the advent of certain Porulists into
office 1t would appear that their desire to
further trust their affairs into the keeping
of that party would be anything but
ardent. Experience is the greatest teacher,
and generally the most expensive. A
lesson from experience is impressive and
lasting. our people have taken il and are
now paying for IL dearly. Since the ad-
vent of Populists into Office in this city
there has been most fragrant disregard
of the peoples interests: there has been
trouble. turmoil and shameless waste of
public funds. The city has been made q
laughing stock of and its credit has been
lowered to such an extent that warrants
will not be accepted by brokers at half
their face value
There Is not a voter in Ballard who can
truthfully deny this statement. BY the
conglomerate ignorance and ridiculous
tomfoolery of edherents of the People,
party who have been accorded public con-
ndence, the interests of the city have suf-
Tered most damaging blow and hard
earned dollars OF the taxpayers money
have been shamefully squandered. IL is
time that the people should awake to a
realization of this state of affairs and
guard against a further inrosd of the evil.
What the result of the Popuiist county
administration would be there is no tell
ing; but If the past record of that party is
to oetaxen as criterion IL would be a
curse TO King county.

The dastardly attack upon the rsruta-
ton Of Mr.. Van de vanter is. happily,
recoiiing upon its instigasors and perpe-
traitors. On every side are being heard
denunciasions Of such . method of polit-
ical controversy, and many citizens who
were not determined as 10 their course
have been turned 10 Mr.. Van de vanter's
support by the futile and contemptle.e
effort to besmirch him.
The people of King county are not
minded TO punish any man for his mis-.
fortunes, or 10 visit upon lack of success
after earnest effort the penalty due wrong
doing. IL is not given TO any one 70 pros
per in every enterprise he undertakes. and
failure is not crime. That q man does
the best he can Is enough TO commend him
to his fellows. That he persists in paying
his debts and the debts of his partner.
even after the Law has declared them void.
marks him in the public estimation as
man of unusual merit.
Failure ia business is no ofense in law
or in morals. II every man who has failed
in some enterprise is TO be pilLoried as
rascal, any community will be in constant
terror of every blackmailer or unscrupu-
lous political boss who commands the
columns of any NANCY sheet.
The late day as which the assault upon
Mr.. Van de Vanter was made shows its
malicious purpose. It has never been a
secret that he failed in business in In
diana. That fact might have been an
nouneed by the fusion organ on the morn
ing succeeding his nomination. Instead.
the TRADE against him was prepared and
retained for use till the end OF the cam
paign was close az hand. The alleged
facts were lying in the Telegraph Office for
two weeks before they were permitted to
lie in the columns of that paper.
The mean purpose of this deliberate de-
lay in publishing the untruthful allega-
tions was apparent. The lateness of the
attack prevents the intended victim from
procuring from the East, by messenger or
mail. full and thorough rsfutation of the
ingeniously arranged pretenses of repro
duction of documents and reports of inter
views All that is possible is to be con-
tent with brief contradictions by tele-
graph.
Malice often overreaches itself. II has
done so in this instance The calumnies
have made no impression upon the pub
lie. except TO disgust many persons with
the cause which relies upon such methods.
Mr.. Van de Vanter has been helped rather
than hurt by the conspiracy. His cleo
ton is now doubly assured.

Spokane 0utburst.
The local political situation is improv-
ing for the Republicans, and 1t now looks
as though they would have a clean sweep
all along the line. Not only are the old
time Republicans falling into line, but
Democrats and Popuiists are joining tho
Republicans daily. 1t is safe to say that
the Democratic party has lost SO per cent
of its vote in the country and % per cent.
of its vote in the city since the vote of two
years ago. The prevailing hard times
naturally press hard upon Democratic
loyalty, and the result is that only the
dyed-in-the-wooi Democrats are staying
within the party's ranks Democracy is
only . name in Spokane county today.
and not a very conspicuous name at that.
All the efforts to stir IN party enthusiasm
here failed. They are weak and dis
heartened. They are without hope.
The Populist feeling is waning rapidly.
Three weeks ago il seemed as though the
Populists would be invincible- But q ter
ribie reaction has set in among them they
are getting heartily sick of 1t. All this is
as II should be. The only sensible thing
for sensible men to do this year Is TO vote
the Republican ticket. 1t Is the pro-
gresslve party of the nation compared
with Democracy, and 1t Is the conserva-
tive party of the nation compared with
Poputism. Democracy is too slow to full
fill the demands of the people. and Popu-
lism is too fast to give it stable govern
mens and wise laws. Democracy is not
IN touch with the people in the great de-
mand for American products and Ameri-
can labor. Populism IS not in touch with
the people in its lawlessness and its dis
honest ideas respecting the rights OF prop
erty. The Republican party is right upon
all of these questions. Ii is truly the
American party in its economic and
financial ideas and in its spirit Of respect
for law and for human rights
