Boss Way Is an enterprising individual.
He can see farther ahead than the ordi-
nary First ward politician. According to
report he is already figuring on fixing
matters for the fall campaign. From
statements which he is reliably reported
TO have made during the past forty-eighs
hours he cherishes the fond hope that no

An unusual condition OF affairs con-
fronts the boss In the First ward. From
the beginning of the campaign. he has be-
iieved that he could handle the voters Of
that district abous as he pleased. The
boss simply regarded the electors OF the

and those who feared the mighty man
have encouraged him in the belief.
The Dull Thmd.
Since last Saturday. the boss has had
different idea CT matters in the First.
On that day. II is understood, he experi-
enced rude awakening. The dull thud
came with the reports made 10 him by
his confidential agents sent along the
highways and hyways TO find out how
sentiment was drifting. The reports TO the
boss were that the FRS. ward was In
state OF mutiny quite desperate 10 con-

Some have expressed surprise that with
these facts still fresh in the memory or
the people, Mr.. Lyons name could find a
place on any party ticket; but when II Is

Mayor Humes armory speech was a bomshell on which
they had counted. While its painness and candor
antagonzed few extremists, its manly tone made
hundreds of people throughout the city who up TO that
time had been wavering and hating between two
opinions say, THAT is just the man want for mayor
of Seattle"
Since the Republican convention the sentiment
has grown stronger and stronger in favor of Humes
and the ticket. Yesterday the feeling still more
confident among Republicans while the fusioniss had
grown positively panicky and were making frantic eff
forts TO recoup themselves in the First ward, which
for week their campaign managers had asserted

Humes They began to recall the fact that in the

hundred votes With the grand demonstrations of

men with assurances that their interests would be
safe in his hands, did to scatter and dssipate
the threatened opposition of the church people to the
straight Republican ticket than volumes of argument
or entreaty could have done
Dsafection in the ranks of the fusionists them
selves has also helped the cause of the Republicans
The Republicans had no steerers out to promote this
dsafection. 1t grew out of the very conditions by
which each of the three separate conventions of the
fusionsts found themselves surrounded. There was
the long and bitter struggle for the head of the ticket
terminated, but not buried by the arbitrary and die
tatora domination of the Pops, who insisted rule
ruin policy, and who got what they wanted in man,
ing Mr. Caderhead. There also the dissatisfac
ton among the Democrats and Silver Republicans at
having to give up their respective party names and
march under the banner of the peoples party
Then came the Republican convention When its
platform took ground which upon the surface ap-
peared to be opposed to the policy which Mayor
Humes had pursued mayor and then the convention
nominated him for the head of the ticket the usioniss
laughed and crowed in gleeful belief that they had
Mayor Humes and the Republicans nicely trapped.

"HE city campaign which closed last night, could
hardly have been better planned on the part of
Il the Republicans, even if they had had the alb
solute disposing of events which were absolute
~ beyond their control.
Chief among the things that have played into the
hands of the Republicans the policy of double
dealing adopted the part of those who had control
of the fusonist campaign They set out to catch two
widely different classes of voters Unfortunately for
them they made their appeal to these two different
classes not business grounds but just precisely
the ground upon which the two classes differed most
widely, viz that of moral conviction and practice
The result has been just what any far-sighted man
might have from the first that it would be- dis
astrous failure BY their assurances that gambling
would be prohibited and vice in the city absolutely
suppressed they have alarmed the sporting classes in
the city into dread of Puritanieal admins

Calderhead, who at first held up model of
purity and virtue, had been down among the saloon
