tariff reform, and touches upon local
affairs in the following language:
I'VE condemn the unjust discrimination
of both the city and county Republicans

washing the county commissioners IN
relation TO the almshouse steal and IN the
divulgiDg OF the secrets of that body by
certain members thereof who now seek
political preferment.

bic for the burdensome increase of taxa
tion due to general extrayagance in the
administration of county alters. 10 fraud
ulent practices in the letting OF public
contracts and the appointment and reten-
ton OF needless officials.
1--WE charge the Republican ring of King
county with endangering the lives and lib
erfy OF ali citizens, and the gross violation
of law in connection with the Republican

interference of the Seattle police force on
that occasion with the constitutional rights
of citizens.
ave charge the Republican administra-

ton of public funds by using the county

eating their own misconduct.

In emitting TO thoroughly investigate the
cause of the recent lamentable disaster at
the Franklin mine, and especially his
omission 10 ascertain the condition OF the
mine previous to the accident IN
view Of The fact that fire
had been burning in one OF the
lel @ 5 for over year and half, and we
condemn the holding of such investiga-
tons under the influence OF the corpora
tons or individuals whose responsibility
is the subject after of inquiry.
ave declare II to be our belief that q
thorough investigation into the manner in
which the accounts of the several county
departments have been kept is absolutely
necessary, in view of the fact that
nothing approaching to thorough
auditing of these accounts has been
made in many years. or full and
detailed statement of receipts and
expenditures published, and We pledge
ourselves that such investigation shall be
made and the taxpayers shall be fully
informed of the actual condition OF their
