LET THEM Go HOME.
The Presence of the Federal Bril-
xade at Olympia Is nm Insult.

olympia, Jan. AA, 1888.
To the Editor: The Federal otficvho,ders
who are absent from their offices in This
state in order TO be present IN
Olympia In the interest OF J. L. Wilson are
Doing themselves no credit and the nations
al administration no good They are do
ing harm to the party whose patronage
they ENJOY and are dlshonoring It in the
estimation Of the people whose votes gave
it the power to provide them Office.
Insofar as any OF them pretend that
their presence IL Wilson's fight indicates
the preference Of the president. they are
Insulting the man whose commission they
bear. The president takes no part in the
election OF senator from Washington and
his own appointees deserve rebuke for
placing him in q false position
Because these officehoiders are drawing
salaries and hold appointments Is no rea-
son why they should attempt to control
the senatorial choice Of the party and force
IL To do an unwise and harmful thing
The reelection of Wilson will infiict an
injury upon the Republican party in the
state OF Washington from which 1t will not
recover for years.
What right. than. have these men 20
strike down the hopes which Others have
invested in future party success BY an act
which makes such success for a long time
impossible.
Every Republican who has no wish for
public Office and every Republican who has
ambitions THAI can be realized Only BY
future party victories. should say 70 these
Federal officeholders that their presence in
Olympia on such an errani is an offense
an indecency. an affront TO the party and
an insult TO the state.
They should be ordered back 10 their
Offices to do the duty for which they are
paid and which they neglect to engage
IN while cutting their party's throat.
The administration s1ouid see 10 IL that
these offenses are not repeated and that
the Federal service Is not dragged In the
rnirs by such methods.
These cfficeholders got enough when
they got on the pay roll Let them keep
hands of she party and attend 10 the
duties for which they are paid
