While the Nugget force. in
dividually and collectively, are
decidedly of Republican procliv-
tiles, we want it distinctly under
stood that we are uncompromis-
ingly free silver, at the ratio of
16 to 1, first, and we have no
hesitation in saying that we will
pocket our politics. for the time
being, and support any party
that will, unequivocally, declare
for free coinage. AS the marin
er trying to make port in a storm
lays aside all preference and
thinks only of safety, SO we, in
the present financial eruption
and disaster, seek the protection
of that party which will give the
country relief and prosperity by
declaring for free silver, be they
Republicans, Democrat or what
not, and there are thousands OF
otf ers in the same position

That is the right kind OF doc
trine, if practiced in good faith

CRowDING ONE ANOTHER OUT.

While Democrats Struggle for Post.
office Davies Holds On.
The many candidates for the success
sion to Griffith Davies as postmaster Of
Seattle are in much the same position
as the two men who tried to squeeze
through doorway large enough for
only one-they are preventing anyone
from getting through. and meanwhile.
although his term OF Office has expired.
Mr.. Davies continues to draw the salary
for which they are all so hungry. This
is the situation as it Is explained In the
following dispatch:
Washington City. Feb. 23.-Special.-
February II came and went and still no
appointment was made in the matter OF
the postoffice at Seattle. MIR. Davies,
whom some Democrats were SO anxious
to get lid OF a year ago. is therefore
holding over time. The trouble ID Just
the same as that at Portland last year
There are SO many good Democrats who
want the place, and some of them, al
though not all, are bitterly fighting each
other. This lack Of harmony is very
embarrassing to the postmaster general
and also to Mr.. Cleveland. It is quite
probable that some man will be named
who will be as much of a surprise to the
people OF Seattle as the appointment of
Postmaster Protzman was to those of
Portland.
Despite the fact that Senator SQUIRE
is a Republican. he will be Consulted to
some extent in this appointment, for II
Is one OF the unwritten laws OF the
White house not to appoint a man who
Is non persona prrafa 8o n Sarat rc- a.,
his home town. He has so far declined
TO make any recommendation, but 1T is
stated at the department that he is par
ticularly anxious that w. J. Colkett. the
present efficient deputy postmaster.
should be retained by the incoming
postmaster, whoever he may be. and IL
Is believed that before any appointment
is made this matter will be arranged To
accord with the senator's desires. Mr.
Coikett has been so long In the office
ana Is so far from being a partisan in
any sense Of the word, that he stands
very Well at the department here, where
IL Is Ielt that It makes little difference
VINO Is appointed. so far as the work OF
me Office Is concerned. 30 long as Mr..
Coikett Is retained. The Iatter's name
has been mentioned In connection with
the postmastership itself. but he has
made no application for the place. and
while no one doubts that he would make
good officer. the place is looked upon
IA the light of a. big political plum
when must be given to some active DO
nuca worker. as a reward either for
past services or what he may be expect
cd 20 accomplish in the future. or both"
