REpuBLICANs AND ROGERS.

Some OF the Populist papers are jeerins
the Republican papers for having treated
Rogers since the election with courtesy.
IL is a course few Populist papers can
comprehend They are not satisfied to
bow 10 the will OF the majority. They de-
nounce the majority as corrupt and assail
the peoples choice With unstinted vituper-
alton, anding nothing to praise and seek
ing 20 find occasion for condemnation in
everything.
John r. Rogers is no better man now as
governor-elect than when he was can
didate. But he has expressed his appre-
cation OF the difference in the position he
occupies now. Prior to election he spoke
only for himself and his party: now he is
the governor OF the state. with grave re-
sponsibiiities. and bearing upon his
shoulders the interests, not only OF the
Peoples party. but of all the people.
II Is the vital spirit of our institutions
that the majority shah rule. 1t is the es-
senee of our national character that al
men shall have fair play. Both OF these
propositions are involved in the treat
msnt which the Republican press is ac-
eording the man whom the people have
chosen as chief magistrate.
The same sense Of propriety which in
duces these newspapers TO treat the gov
ernor with respect and to give him credit
for good purpose in the Office until he
shows himself undeserving of either. will
also serve to make them impervious TO
the malicious comments of his supporters.
These uuwise friends OF his affect TO mis-
take courtesy for subserviency, and TO
regard the sheathing OF the campaign
sword after the battle is over as a sign
OF weakness. Yet If the fight were kept
up and the asperIties or the stump were
continued IN guerrilla warfare. those pa
pers would be ready enough to denounce
the bad taste and unmanliness Of Repub-
ucans

story Of Seattle's progress IS told. But
the P0st-Iuteiiigencer having for its con-
