King county Republicans did
the wisest thing possible,
when they decided to ask for the
Office of governor, and let the
other offices seek a man where
they will. All they have to do
now is to ask unitedly for one man
for this honor, and there is no
doubt at all but what that man
will be nominated and elected, but
the Republicans Of King county
must come as unit. The COVER
norship is conceded to King
county, and there is talk of a man
who lives there, who would be a
fitting candidate, one who COM
mands the respect and confidence
of all the people of Seattle, where
he has lived for twenty-five years.
lie King county presents the name
Of J. M. Frink for governor, he is
as sure Of being nominated and
elected as the sun will set this
evening, and we hope they will do
so.-Arlington Enterprise.

Abrogated.
That recent convention held at
Montgomery, Alabama, in which
only "white men" participated, to
discuss the American Negro both
pro and con, was remarkable for
wise men (?) uttering and dwelling
on some very unwise things.
Being composed of Southern men,
and ex-rebels at that, the repeal of
the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
was made prime thought of the
convention. In other words, it
wanted the world to understand.
because the Negro had not come
up to it's members fastidious ideas
of civilization after thirty-fve
years of freedom, he should now
be again forced into involuntary
serfdom, worse hundred times
over than the slavery that existed
in the South before Sherman's
famous "march to the Or Un-
conditional Surrender Grant visit
ed with Robert E. Lee at Appama-
tox Court House. The Fifteenth
Amendment was conceived in the
minds of those, who subsequently
put it into full force and effect in
the very midst of fire and flames,
shot and shell and death and
obstruction; it was written on the
faces of hundred thousand brave
boys of blue as their lifeless forms
lay bleaching on the ghostly battle
field by their surviving comrades,
and the liquid used for writing it
was the hearts blood of those, who
had given their lives, that it might
be, therefore. neither sickly senti-
ment, race color bugbear, nigger
dominacy scare crow nor any
kindred Negrophobia diseases
held up as the Mexican would a
red flag before fighting bull in
the arena, will have no right
about face on this question and
neither the men nor the sons of
those men, who wrote and voted
for it, will ever suffer to see their
work quietly undone, and, if it is
ever undone, it will be SO after
more men will have lost their
lives on the battle field than the
Great Civil war ever dreamed of.
Grant it, that the Negro has fallen
below the standard that has been
mapped out for him by even some
of his most ardent Northern sup
porters, he has, nevertheless, done
quite enough to more than justify
the North for freeing the United
States of one of the most brutal
institutions that ever existed
among supposed civilized people,
and, taking into consideration that
the Negro is but thirty-five years
from a 200 year oppression and
bondage, it does seem that there
is still much time for improve
ment. If in the next two thirty
five years the Negro improves as
he has in the past, century more
and he will exhibit far different
Negro than the Negro now so un-
mercifully criticised by men who
still rage on account of having lost
him as chattel.
AS the citizens all over the
country watched the battle Scared

fields of the Great Civil war last

McKin1eyism.
The following compilation Of
facts has been communicated to
The REPUBLICAN for publication:
Ninety-two per cent Of our i'm
ports and exports are carried in
foreign ships, which take $200,0OO,-
900 a year from the American
people in payment Of the freight
THE ship subsidy bill now pending
in Congress is designed to stop
this great annual drain, but,
strangely enough, it don't seem
likely to pass.
In April we exported $43, 49,
I765 more than we imported, and
we exported $3O,13O,OnO more of
American products and manu-
factures than in April, 1899. Ex-
pansion still continues.
During the ten months of the
current fiscal year ending with
April 80, our exports were $780,
948,857 greater in value than in
the corresponding months a year
ago.
Protection has built up the great
land industries of the United
States until they are able to make
the country unprecedentedly pros
porous. Free trade upon the sea
has SO decimated our shipping
during the same time, that we
have but One-third as much ton
mage under our flag to-day as we
had forty years ago, although our
commerce If four times as great
now as it was then. The shipping
bill, now pending in Congress,
would, if adopted, change all this.
While Interested in watching
the contest between the two Ger
man steamship lines as to which
ishall build the biggest and fastest
steamship for their trade with the
United States, the American
people should not forget that they
are paying the bills: If we did
our duty to our country we would
be building those ships in the
United States, and manning them
with our own citizens, as the ship
ping bill, still unacted upon in
Congress, provides.
The Kentucky Democrats are
clamoring for the election of
United States Senators by the
direct vote of the people. At the
same time they are committed to
the policy of electing governors
by the skullduggery of partisan
legislatures.
Democrats who are SO eager to
show their hostility to Great
Britain by trying to involve the
United States in war with that
country on account of the Beers
in South Africa, are at the same
time doing their utmost to secure
the passage of an at of Congress
that would permit British built
ships to be registered as Ameri-
can. Democratic preaching is
different from Democratic prac-
tice.
The wage-raising employers are
also raising Cain with the Demo-
cratic platform-makers.
A Republican platform will fit
any state in the Union. A Demo
cratic platform would be embar-
rassing it it were to stray over a
State line.

Democrats in the Senate don't file

The total amount of money in
circulation in the United States

The Seattle Republican., 1900-06-01

The Republican club of Seattle
did the proper thing at its meeting
last Saturday evening when it de-
cided that the proper thing to do
was for King county to make an
effort to secure the Republican
nomination for the governorship
and not interfere in the congress
sional nominations. When the
name of Senator Frink was men
toned it created a good deal Of
enthusiasm, which would seem to
indicate that the senator has the
backing of the business and con-
servative element of Seattle. If
Seattle and King county will bring
forward a good man for governor
the Times believes he can be
nominated by acclamation The
balance Of the state will concede
that position to King county.
The bare announcement that
Senator Frink has entered the race
has created good deal Of enthu-
siasm in different parts of the
state It looks as though he would
grow in political strength from
now until the meeting of the state
convention. Snohomish to King
county: "Name your pizen and
we will take t."-Everett Times.
Seattle has three candidates for
the governorship-E. EEL. Guie,
speaker of the house of represen-
tatives; Mayor T. J. Humes, and
ex-State Senator J. M. Frink.
OF the three the present indica-
tions are that "the first shall be
last and the last shall be first" as
respects local support. Mr.. Frink
is a business man, president of the
Washington Iron Works, and one
of the Queen City's most highly
respected citizens. Tt is signif-
cant Of his local popularity that
his candidacy was unanimously in
dorsed by the King county Re
publican club the day after Mayor
Humes' candidacy was formally
announced in the Post-Intelli-
gencer.-San Juan Islander.
We are glad to note the an
nouncement of the gubernatorial
candidacy Of ex-State Senator j.
M. Frink Of King county, for the
reason that if elected he will take
to the chief executive office of the
state fund of knowledge and ex-
perience cleaned from the farm,
workshop, factory and commercial
enterprises that this state stands

in peculiar and particular need of
at this time. The development Of
our state in the next four years will
be rapid and even phenomenal and
we need the guiding hand of a
man of large business experience
and one who will be free from en-
dangering political alliances =
Skagit County Times.
Among the Republican possibili-
ties for the Office of governor, none
seem to meet with more general
approval than J. M. Frink of Sc
attic. OF course the outcome will
entirely depend upon King county.
If that county sends up a divided
delegation as it did at the last two
conventions it will get nothing
But if it comes up united for a
strong candidate such as Frink is,
for governor, and the entire dele
cation work for their man, there is
no question but they can nominate
him. J. M. Frink is the only man
mentioned, SO far, that will meet
with no outside opposition and his
indorsement by the King county
delegation means his nomination
and triumphant election.-Mt.
Vernon News-Herald.
Interest in the contest in King
county for local support for the
Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton has been augmented the past
week by the formal announcement
OF the candidacy of Hon. J. M.
Frink, of Seattle. Mr.. Frink has
been citizen of that city since
1874, and is essentially a self
made man. His prominence in
business affairs in Seattle is due
solely to his perseverance and his
merits as an honest and upright
citizen. Mr.. Frink has seen much
of political life, having been
member of the state senate from
King county for eight consecutive
years. He is stalwart Republi-
can, and will doubtless make him.
self felt in the present contest.
In business life he is president of
the Washington Iron Works, one
of Seattle's prominent manufac
tories. He is held in high esteem
by all who have had social, politi-
cal or business relations with him.
-Deming Prospector.
Ii the King county Republicans
are wise they will give Hon. J. M.
Frink of Seattle an united delega-
ton to the Republican state con-
vention for the Office of governor.
With Mr.. Frink as the candidate
OF King county there will be no
doubt of the action of the conven-
ton. He will be nominated be-
yond question. Republicans from
various portions of the state are
inclined to concede that the COVER
ship should 60 to King county il
she presents an acceptable candi-
date. Mr.. Frink will be accept
able for various reasons. He is
successful business man; his char
acter is beyond reproach; he has
had successful experience as
state senator from King county
for eight years and left the leglsla-
ture with the confidence and re-
spect of his associates he is
thorough going Republican; he is
man who always had the courage
Of his convictions while in the
senate. A man with all these
qualifications, together with the
rare executive ability that has
enabled him to successfully
manage a large industry through
the panicky times Of the past ten
years would surely make a strong
candidate before the people. Mr..
Frink has never been profess
sional politician although he has
been sought out by his King county
friends on more than one occasion
