VIII Thi. Never End.

Another wheelbarrow bet was paid yes
terday. Pat Gleason had the wrong
''hunch" on how the election was going.
and as result propelled the barrow
with Charles Schettler in II from Pike
street to Yesler way. Another bet was
worked on al the same time. A man
named Bemis had the long end of this.
and d. Mcnamara the short end. Bemis
walked ahead of the procession with a
Mckinley cane. Every time he raised the
cane into the air Mcnamara had to yell,
"Hurrah for Mckinley" and McNamara's
throat was sore from yelling last night.

to be Republican provided one can
have his own way, against the will
of nine-tenths of the people, about
some question of that sort. The
people need defense of their indus
tries, whether they get something
else or not. They need genuine
Republicans to make their laws, not
men who have gone so far in their
devotion to the silver interest or
some other that they are ready to
destroy national prosperity if their
pet theories or wishes are thwarted.
When the national convention
pledges the utmost efforts of the
Republican party to restore full pro-
lection to home industries, it does
not mean that Republican will do
this after he has done something else.
or provided he can do something
else, but will refuse if he cannot.
Men of that stamp need to be told
in the most emphatic manner by the
national convention that they must
either serve Republican principles
unconditionally and faithfully, or
cease to be reckoned with the great
party which has never yet paItered
with its pledges from the first elec-
ton of Abraham Lincoln in this
hour.
If man has the notion that labor
cannot be sufficiently protected with
out cheaper money, that is not an
honest reason for refusing to give
labor such protection as he can. If
he finds measure pending which is
not half what he wants, that is not
an honest reason for refusing to do
what he can in the direction of his
principles and pledges, Neither is
it an excuse for refusing to carry out
one pledge of the Republican party
that a man considers it has also
promised something else which nine
tenths of its members never meant
to promise. The national conven-
ton will need to be decidedly blunt
and explicit, and cannot speak too
plainly for the 2O,OOO,OOO of wage
e lrners.
