SEATTLE. THURSDAY. AUG. ..


Senator Watson C. Squire. Of the state
of washington. has boifed the Republican
ticket and viii support William J. Bryan
and free silver. His faith In the silver
cause. e. evidenced by his telegram read
at public mseting last night. Is presun-
ably dsep-ssatea. and II Is therefore some
what Surprising that he did not announce
his position before without waiting until
m estimate could be formed Of the
strength Of The Republican free silver dis
affection tn this state.
II win surprise Senator squires friends
20 know that he as a lifelong Republican
cannot support the splendid presidential
candidates nominated by The Republican
party and that che principles adopted By
the representatives of that party In con-
sentfon assembled are such as he cannot
approve. IL will surprise them that the

The Truth of It.
Pullman Herald.

II has been claimed BY such Demo-Pop-
ulistsc papers as the Spokane Review
and Chronicle that the Republican party
OF Eastern Washington has stampeded 10
the Democratic standard, and viii sup
port almost unanimously, this fall, Bryan
and Sewali This Ia not true. The pros
pect for Republican success in Whitman
county this fall is far better than 1t was
two years ago. and this is true OF most
OF the counties OF Eastern Washington.
The loyalty OF the Republicans and the
dissatisfaction In the ranks OF the Popu-
lists are continually frightening the lists
Of Mckinley clubs. II is true that soma
Republicans have become enamored Of
the idea OF the free silver Offering" as
the rank and file who favor free silver
conceive OF that ailuring term. and have
announced their intention OF voting with
the Democrats this fall. The whole
trouble lies in the universal ignorance of
this question. With campaign OF edu-
ton this fail, and men Studying this
question carefully. they will see where the
real evil lies, and vote for Mckinley and
protection.

did not have an equal place by the side

by gold. Silver was worth more as metal
than as coin. The only time in the his
tory of this nation when silver has had
an equal race by the side or gold has
been since 1878 when the government has
undertaken to maintain It's parity, its
equal place, by the side OF gold. II we
could have an international agreement as

the government to do Il on that basis.
II has failed utterly druing the whole his

done by the government alone by aban-
doing free coinage and limiting coinage.

rent has done since 1873 and Is now doing.

WEST YlRGINIANS MEET
Old State Society Revived for So
oial Purposes.
No Politics III It, the Members De
clare. but They May Come
Later.

The West Virginia Republicans resident
in Washington met ana had good old
fashioned love feast last night. They
also, incidentally, carried the State Tor
their party as mere matter of form.
The object of the meeting, which was
held at Monumental Hall, was 10 resus-
citate the organization, which died out
about two years ago Some of the States
Congressional delegation were expected,
but 1t was explained that the Legislators
would present themselves al meetings after
organization had been perfected.
Out of 125 West Virginia Republicans,
officehOlders and others, who live in Wash
ington, fit nine were present last night.
The meeting was called TO order by Mr..
Charles NJ. sbinn, who explained that the
object of reOrganizing was largely for So
cial causes, but there might possibly be
other considerations, and Tor various rca-
sons an organization was desirable.
1t subsequent meetings OngreSSmen
would make addresses and Mountain ; state
people would get better acquainted aud
cultivate a neighborly feeling.
For some peculiar reason no one wanted
to act as temporary secretary. and after
a big list of decIinations, A. NJ. SwitZer
/ was chosen
A motion t.rricd that the reOrganiZa-
ton of the society be effected. Mr.. 5 him
was made pres dent; John T. Harris,
first vice-president; second weep resi-
dent, Harry VAN, Mr.. SwitZer. secretary,
T. L. ROmp, assistant secretary; Samuel
Aler, treasurer; Capt. Mcbride, sergeant
alarms, and the reorganization was d
thing complete.
The old constitution was read, and a
committee. consisting OF Capt. Hart. John
T. Harris, and T. A. Gibson, was APP
pointed to revise il and report 1T the next
meeting, which is TO be in two weeks.
One OF the members d!ScIaimed The notion
that he society's formation is for political
purposes. He said the political part fig
ures only in that to be a member one must
be a West Virginiau and Il Republican,
