WHY is it that the Republican is
so silent in regard to the increase
in our county debt. Until quite
recently the auditor has been parad-
ing his statement at every political
gathering and pointing out his
sworn statement that the indebted
ness of San Juan county had been
decreased s67S.43 during the past
year, but when the ISLANDER prints
a sworn statement proving that the
county's liabilities has increased
5000 during the past year they are
as silent as the tomb. The facts
are that the auditor used his state
ment for campaign document and
only let the public have glimpse
at it at a few political gatherings
where he was surrounded by few
admiring friends, and it would new
er have been given to the public
had not the mandate of the court
compelled him to do so.

He who seeks to injure Mr.. Tullock's
chances of election by cowardly insinu-
ations about graveyards, etc., must be
a fool indeed. We have seen statements
from nearly all of the participants on
both sides of the case and they are loud
in their praise of Mr.. Tullock's course
i'm the matter. Mr.. Tullock appeared
in court without council, and everyone
was much impressed with the straight
forward manner in which he told his
story and the court decided the case in
his favor in every particular The
more said about this matter the better
for Mr.. TullOck.

HOW REPUBLICANS ARE MAZE.
Tactics Employed by the Republican
Boss of San Juan.

Roche Harbor, Oct. 12-Special-As John
S. Mcmillan has been busy Of late pub
fishing report in his subsidized sheet at
Friday Harbor and also in the P.-I., that
seven lifelong democrats had renowned
their allegiance to the democratic party
over their sign lures. The Telegraph
correspondent has Investigated the matter
and finds that j. P. Rasmussen, one of the
signers, has not had his first papers one
year, having declared his intention to
become citizen December 9th, 1898; also
that Charles Bergstom, who recently came
from Minnesota, took out his final papers
September 18th, 1894, and consequently
does not become a voter this fall. The
man Anderson has always been arepubli-
can since he became citizen and would
sign any paper the grand duke" would
ask him to. Northam, one of the signers,
formerly was a democrat, and not being
able to make a living on his place, applied
for work at Roche Harbor four or five
times, but with no success. Finally one
of McMillin's tools informed him if he
would come out over his signature declar-
ing himself republican that he North
mani could bc foreman of the lime quarry
at the highly protected salary of $l.50 per
day; sequel, Mr.. Northman is foreman
to-day of the Roche Harbor lime quarry.
William McCrary and Mr.. McCallick.
the other two who were supposed to have
signed the paper, claim they did not read
it and that they were urged to sign it, the
paper being represented to them as some
thing entirely different than what came
out in print, and were very indignant
when they had seen how they had been
duped, and claim that they are as good
democrats as they ever were.
The ''grand duke" is very much wor-
ried this fall, especially for the joint sena-
torship and the legislative nominees from
this county, whom he will control if
elected, but their chances are very slim
Notwithstanding that he is trying to work
up enthusiasm by giving his Faithful
at this place free excursion on the COM
pany's steamer, Harry Lynn, and is also
using that boat to carry the delegates
gratis to friday Harbor and later on to
Anacortes, while prominent democratic
stockholders, at Tacoma. in the Roche
Harbor lime company foot the bill and
are lead to believe that the steamer is
working for the company's good instead
of carrying the Republican machine of
San Juan county around in the interest of
the dear working people" whom the
grand duke" employs at the magnificent
salaries of from 81 to so per day.
Great is the apostle of protection of San
Juan county, but, like the Mckinley bin.
he will soon be relegated to the past and
become forgotten nonentity. Telegraph.

LAST weeks issue of Murray's
campaign poster is filled up with
insinuations about the various can
didates On the Citizens Ticket. Not
an article is signed and not spe-
cific charge made but by insinua-

about a graveyard lawsuit, which
was settled by the court months
ago, will have no weight with the
people simply because a partici-
pants name appears on each of our

LYNCHED BY A MOB
DOUBLE HANGING BEE IN A IsAN.
SAS TOWN.
A Father a.a So. whs Induced q
Younger Son and Brother to kill
the Old MANS Son.in.Law Are
Taken Oat Of jail aad Hanged.

Sharon Springs, Kan, May 10.-One of
the most determined mobs that ever con-
gregated In this portion of the state
l:rcEed William Mckinley and bis son,
Lewis, for the murder of Charles Carley,
eeEnitted one week ago. About week
ago Charles Carley. son-in-lsw of Will
IN Mckinley, was murdered. An in
vettigation revealed the fact that Fred,
q seventeen-year-old son of Mckinley;
ST.. committed the crime. The boy was
arrested, made confession, stating that
he had been induced to kill Carley by
his father and his elder brother Lewis.
The motive for tue murder seemed prin-
cipally revenge and hatred. The mur-
dered n an had only few weeks before
malried Mckinley's daughter. 1t had
been stiplated before the marriage that
the groom was to pay the brides father
500 for the privilege of marrying her.
The groom refused to pay this money
after he was married, and thus incurred
the enmity of the wife's father and BROTH
els. The boy surprised Carley while
asleep, cutting him horribly with garden
Loe. He was found dead.
On Monday the three men were ar
raigLed in court, where Fred pleaded
guilty us charged, but lis father and
Lewis pleaded not guilty, waived trial
and were placed in the county Jail. Last
night o mob of several hundred men took
the father and son to bridge about half
a mile west Of town and lyIched them.
They both begged piteously for mercy.
Fred would probably have been hanged
but instead of taking him to the Jail hs
was kept under guard in the hotel.

was the reading of the supreme presi-

There is conservative faction, which
cot nsels moderation. The address, on

was appointed to draft a declaration Of
