SION The EIiensburg convention, with
it's startling Joint platform. brought
home with crushing force To conserva-
tive Democrats and Populists the hu-
initiating position into which their lead
ers had forced them, for the sole pur-
pose of efecting fusion and securing
office
The Democrats found themselves ad-
vocating principles utterly at variance
with ali their party teachings. The
Popnlis;s had injected many Of their
cherished principles into the joint plat
form. but found they had been forced to
adopt the single tax propaganda. to
which the great mass OF their party is
unalterably opposed.
The result was both parties were dis
satisfied with themselves. with each
other and with their leaders. It natur-
ally followed that sufficient number
voted with the Republicans TO defeat
fusion. believing that the only way to
rebuke this most unprincipled and an
savory alliance was TO bury IL 80 deep
that 1t would not be worth any ones
time to resurrect il.

turned TO the party from which they

fact that a fusion majority of IL 900 has

congressional majority will be in this
state but il is certainly not less than
three thousand for the Republicans.
This does not seem a very large major
ity until it is remembered that two years
ago Lewis majority was ASA. SO that
at tha; time of 1858. and the vote this
year Is considerably less. 1t represents
a change OF between 1900 and ll.oo
votes.

The factious cha racter of the Popuists
was shown on election day by the attempt
to prevent Judge Strive from voting. He
has lived in Seattle for more than thirty
years. and because he had been on a visit
for a few days to one of his family in a
sides his vote was challenged. Nothing OF
this kind was ever attempted by Repub-
Leans in the days Of their greatest power.

Washington has gone Republican.
The result speaks for it, and the
causes leading to this tremendous re-
yersal of public opinion are clear The

!. competency and honesty. Many Of the
claims made by them were 40 palpahly
/. absurd that they aroused suspicion.
/. When an individual deems il necessary

neighbors praises OF his own honesty.
II soon aronses a suspicion that there
I may be some well-founded reason for
questioning the truth If the assertion.
The same fact holds true with poiiti-
cal parties. The fusionsts talked TOO
much. The people were tired Of the free
silver craze. They have learned in the
experience Of the past two years. that
the t6 To ! advocates were theoretical
alarmists and that their theories were
not well founded. Two years of un-
ceasing prosperity under the gold stand
ard was an object lesson. the effective
ness of which all the wheat charts and
all the theories in the world could not
destroy. Their prosperity gave them re.
newed faith in the tariff policy as well
as in the financial policy of the Repub-
lican party
Above all, the attacks upon presi-
dent Mckinley and his cabinet made
by congressman Lewis. and echoed
by other speakers. were resented
by the people. The policy of the
fusion orators and fusion press in
this respect shows pitlful ignorance OF
the character of the people they hoped
do influence. With "A blind faulty al

We are not called upon this year to
explain how ii happened. but In the re-
suit Of yesterdays election is to b.
found a very wholesome moral. We be-
iieve that under the apparently ca
PRECIOUS change in votes lies deep
honor in the American citizen which
cannot be trified with. We attribute the
defeat 81 MIR. Lewis partly To his un-
! warranted attacks upon the administra-
ton and partly to the proper resentment
with which his misstatements were re-
ceived.
Even from a Populist platform Mr..
Lewis read extracts from editorials in
the Post-Inteligencer criticising the ad
| ministration for some OF the faults of its
policy This is not merely a privilege.
but 1t may become duty; the mistake
MIR. Lewis made was in not combining
himself 70 similar criticism He was not
| content with legitimate criticism. He
| assailed the president personally; he
charged corruption and fraud on every
side. he saw nothing but Incompetence
and blunder. The people OF the nation
knew that mistakes had been made:
they saw that some Of the officers were
incompetent, but they saw also that
these were but triflIng defects as COM
pared with the magnificent triunphs
achieved. They were just enough to
realize that great war with a foreign
| foe. undertaken hastily. prosecuted Wig
orously terminated successfully. could
scarcely be without some of those mis-
carriages Of material and orders which
not only seem inevitable III every great
campaign. but are the daily experience

Patriotism, Not Party.

Our disposition has been, and still is,
to be more interested in the sue.
cess Of ones party than in the prosperi-
ty of our country. Party should be re-
garded as a means to an end. It is SIM
ply a combination of men seeking by
legitimate method the greatest good for
the greatest number. Whenever such
combination has, by its success, attract
ed to it the vampires of society in such
large numbers as to menace our insti-
buttons, it is then the duty of every man
who loves his country more than party,
to abandon the organization, and to
seek alliance with better men, employ
ing better methods and destined to Sc
cure better results. Many men belong
to their party in the same sense in which
a dog belongs to his master. They do
the bidding of the boss and get crust
of bread. Small majorities and frequent
changes minister to the welfare Of the
government.-Dr. Swallow in. speech
