Same Old Story.

Dickinson, Wooley & Co. are in trouble.
The sensible. intelligent Republicans have
tired of the leadership of the ring and are
today sending out notices for the organi-
zation of a new party machine. Thomas
McEwan is not in the new movement, but
ne will be. Republicans have gone over
the records and have found that on every
occasion of a Republican victory, Dickin-
son, Wooiley. Mitchell, Erwin Finck,
Higgins and one or two others have
scooped offices for themselves. Outside
Of those mentioned no Republican has
been able to get an office of the slightest
Importance. The voters are tired Of the
gang and want new party.

hope is entertained this spring but the
prime movers say they will have for

All Politicians Say Repub-

Is Cone.

The principal topic of conversation to-
| day in political circles is the ousting OF
| Aleck Watson from the City Prison Keep
ership and the seating of Jack Graham,

rational being in the city.
| 1t is we'll understood fact that Colonel
| Dickinson had nothing to do with Gra-
hams appointment. He has very frankly
admitted that has no use for a man
| of such calibre as Captain Jack. He
| despises him just as much as do the rank
and file of the Republican party Repub-
/ lican workers who really have the in
| terest of their party at heart do not
| hesitate to say that if any of their
nominees had the slightest chance of cleo
| ton the appointment of Jack Graham
ruins it.
The Ninth ward, where Graham resides
and which is strongly Republican, turned
Graham down for Freeholder, and if re-
ports be true every respectable voter of
that ward will show his contempt for the
man by turning the ward over to the
Democratic candidates again.

The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union Opens Its
National Convention
MRS. STEVENS ADDRESS
Reviews The History And
Progress Of The Union
Dig At Congress-
man Roberts.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 20.-Preceded
by well-attended prayer meetings in q
half dozen churches of different demo-
limitations, the twenty-sixth national
convention of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union was formally open
ed this morning with an attendance
surprising all expectations.
The scene of the gathering was the
first Presbyterian church, the interior
of which was tastefully decorated in
honor of the occasion. The rostrum
WAS neatly decorated with potted
plants ana bunting and at the rear of
the platform was displayed msgnifi-
cent portrait of the late Miss Frances
Willard.
Promptly at $50 o'clock the conven-
tion was raped to order by Mrs. L. M.
N. Stevens, sof Maine, president of the
union. The proceedings began with
the singing of the crusade hymn, ''Give
to the Winds Thy Fears.' from the
white ribbon hymnal, after
which Mrs. Emma Bourne,
president of the New Jersey
w. C. T. o., led in player.
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens prefaced her
annual presidential address with the
following eloquent tribut e to the me-
mory of Miss Willard.
'sShe made this world wider for
women and more homelike for human
ity.' This would have been true of
Frances E. Willard whatever walk of
life she had chosen. Her soul, illumin-
ed by the light of Gods love; her
great intellect, electric with the power
of truth and right;her heart full of ten
derness and sympathy, all aof the ma
tural characteristics of her life would.
in any sphere, have tended to lift
humanity out of selfishness and sin up
toward that highest heaven to which
the teachings of Christ evermore must
lead. She made an impress in the field
of education which will never be
effaced. Thousands today call her
them in their sschool or college life;
thousands more breathe forth prayers
of gratitude because Sin passing by her
life touched theirs, ennobling and
purifying.
"But more than all others, we, who
have been called her friend, comrade,
leader, have reason to give thanks for
her beautiful life with its lessons of
patience, fidelity, courage, love: and
did we not believe she still lives and
leads, we might this morning be faint
hearted and weary, instead of hopeful
and strong in our purpose to press on
and carry out the plans wrought by her
into the organization of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
In speaking of the work of the centu
ry in the line of temperance reform
Mrs. Stevens said:
"This is not alone the closing year
of the century, but of our quarter-cen-
tury's existence as society. 1 will
not undertake to enumerate the for
ward strides the temperance question
has taken during the last century, but
It may be well to take cursory
glimpse. Many of US will recall that
