THE Seattle Times in commenting
upon the candidacy of Gov. McGraw
for the senate, announces with all
gravity that Watson G. Squire will be
the only other candidate for the high
position. Just how the Times arrives
at this conclusion is difficult to de-
termine unless it be the assumption in
common with the Seattle politicians
that the Office belongs to to them as
an heritage, and no other portion of
Western Washington has the right to
look with longing eyes on this coveted
position. Either Northwest or South
west Washington could furnish can
|didate that would be the peer of either
of the distinguished gentleman from
the Queen City, and there can be no
good reason why the remainder of the
state should bow in humble homage
to the commands of gang of back
room politicians that infest the me-
tropolis of the state. It is just pos
ible that either of the gentlemen
named will have to keep their fences
in good repair, or they may find an
outsider will step in and gather the
plum.-Mt. Vernon News.

Political Speculations.

There is considerable speculation
IN the state about the coming fight
for senator, representatives and the
state ticket. The late convention
knocked into cooked hat some fellows
who were figuring on the silver craze
to boost them into Office.
Bro. Scoby of the Olympian, is one
whom some think got moved back on
the political chess board. Now Mr..
Scoby is silver man, but he is honest
in his belief, and he is no trimmer.
The republican party is large enough
to allow its members to do their own
thinking. While we do not hold Mr..
Scoby's views on the silver question,
we do not think the time has come
for the republican party of the state to
read out of its party man who honest
ly believes in the free silver doctrine.
The most disgusted men of the
state. however, must be our represen-
tatives. They must have felt small
indeed when they saw The result of the
convention. 1t looks as though the
Burleigh-McGraw people boosted that
money plank as much to hit Squire
body blow as for any other purpose.
They used to make a great deal of
fun of Senator Squire because he liked
good things to eat and drink. Be that
as it may, his record during this ses-
sion is a record to be proud of. His
bill on Coast Defenses, and his work
on Naval Appropriation bill, the
Nicaragua bill and last but not least
the Grays harbor appropriation bill is
among the best in Congress. He de-
serves reelection but if King coun ty
presents another candidate, he will
have rocky road to travel. Wilson
won without Spokane, can Squire win
without King?-Hoquiam Washing
tonian.

Oppose 4 Geld Platform.

ST. LOUIS, June GAS yet none o
the leaders who are to take part in tn
republican national convention hav
arrived. Local politicians say tha,
Marcus A. Hanna, the leader of tn,
Mckinley forces, will reach here mex
Tuesday, and T. c. Platt, who ha,
charge of Levi p. Morton's campaign
will come two days after. Perry Heath
formerly managing editor oi the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, who will
be the chief Mckinley spokesman un-
til the arrival Of Hanna, has come and
is keeping the special correspondents
supplied with Mckinley news. The
Republic in the morning will print a
lengthy interview with Mr.. Heath, in
which he gives what he purports to be
Mr.. McKinley's position on the finan-
cial question. It will read as follows !:
Mr.. Heath did net attempt to deny
that the Mckinley program was to
force the tariff issue to the front in
1896. "Wall street." said Mr.. Heath,
has attempted to run every national
convention held since 1 have known
anything about national conventions.
1t will try to run the republican con-
vention this year, aud it will, as usual,
fail. Major Mckinley is ono of those
men who does not believe his judg-
ment should be taken against the
combined wisdom Of his party. No
body has spoken for him authoritative
ly on the currency plank, and nobody
will be able to do 80, because he is
willing to trust the convention and
stand by it. The best judgment of the
whole party must prevail in this mat
ter.
"There are not to exceed four states
which will insist on an unequivocal
declaration for the gold standard.
These states are New York, Maine,
Massachusetts and probably New Jer-
sey. In the same way there are
about half dozen silver states which
demand q 16 to / declaration.
"In great majority Of the states
the one issue in the campaign is pro-
lection. You cannot talk the cur
rency question to republicans in Ohio,
Indiana or Illinois. This is the great
issue and whatever the republican con-
vention adopts as its platform will be
the Mckinley platform"
Having disposed Of the Mckinley
currency attitude, Mr.. Heath, at the
request of the reporter, addressed him
self for few minutes to Thomas c..
Platt, with the following result: Eyes,
Mr.. Platt is preparing some kind of a
coup. lam informed it is to be sprung
either before the national convention
or on the floor of the convention. He
has served notice repeatedly during
the past few days that he would not
give up his fight until the nomination
was announced and there was no long
er any opportunity to enter his protest
against the Ohio candidate. Just
what he intends to do is not clearly
manifest at this time, but l have let
ters from at least one member of the
national committee to whom Mr..
Platt has written, in which one of his
moves is named. He intends, if
possible, to control the preliminary
roll in the convention and to use the
advantage he might obtain by that
success against Mckinley"

New York, Aug. 17.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 7 to 9 points, on the eontisued
strength of Liverpool, which rose
about Ga points, and on the unfavora-
HE crop advices. There was active buy
ING which carried prices up rapidly.
Shorts bought freely. In the afternoon
there was considerable selling, owing
to estimates of liberal receipts of new
cotton Port receipts for the week
were estimated at 10000 to 22,0t0 bales
against only 2,400 last year. There
was a rally in the last hour, and the
close was steady at IS to ~ po,n's net
advance.
HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER.
New York, Aug. 17.-(Special) -Liv-
erpool received to-day the NAL aiyices
containing crop reports of week ago.
and our cable advices state that they
are of such a character as to cause a
liquidation of the remaining outstand-
ing short interest. Manchester, how
ever. still refuses to credit the report
of damage, and remains out of the mar
ket, and believe they will be able TO
obtain their cotton more cheaply when
receipts increase. Locally the temper
has become bullish, no one caring to
be short of cotton in the face of the
crop accounts coming to hand through
many sources which are convincing.
At the same time. it is noticeable that
outside speculation does not increase,
in fact, it is prominent by ITS absence,
the market in this respect not differ
ing from the condition of the demand
for other staple commodities. The
market closed firm at the best prices
of the day, on buying for local account
and the execution of orders to buy on
The close for European account. To-
DAYS advance seems to have eliminated
the short interest created last week.
