Of passing events, it affords a most

enthusiastic partisans to hear show

their versions of the outcome of the

too, are to be found the candidates,
who are carewOrn from labor and
worry, and on their faces are depict
ed the mental anxiety as to the out
come. These spellbinders may
crack their jokes, tell Of their ludic-
rous experiences in the rural dis
tricts which may evoke roars Of
laughter from the assembled crowd,
but all this is as salt without SAVIOR
to the candidate, for he knows that
the spellbinder has been fully paid
for all he has done and for all that
he is saying, and paid at his (the
candidates. expense. The election
eve means a great deal more to the
candidate than a final round up po-
litical rally The various candidates
are very anxious over the successful
outcome of their particular. case, for,

The campaign Of 1900 is now
over, and King county, which has
been seething cauldron every dav
since the first Of the year, can now
take a long, long rest. The county
ticket which was named by the Re
publican convention was for the
most part successful, but the Pie
maker exceedingly regrets the de
feat of two of the leading county
candidates on the ticket, viz: Sher-
if A. T. Van De Vanter, who was a
candidate for reelection, and w. HI.
White, candidate for prosecuting
attorney Both Of these gentlemen
are the most loyal of loyal Republi-
cans, and if any one on the ticket
deserved success, it was certainly
Mr.. Van De Vanter and Mr.. White.
However, the fates of the gods seem
to have been against them from the
very outset, and the concentrated
efforts of the opposition party were
thrown against them as soon as they
had been declared the Republican
nominees, and it was very apparent
that they would 90 down to defeat,
owing to the fact largely that both
Mr.. Van De Vanter and Mr.. White
were leaders in the late Republican
fractional fight in King county. For
this they were never forgiven by the
defeated faction, and that faction
seems to have taken special delight
in knitting both of them during the
entire day. The defeat of Mr..
White was certainly a calamity to
both he and his family, at least APP
parently so, for on the eve Of cleo
ton message flashed over the wires
from Mr. Whites old home in Penn
sylvania announcing the death Of
his father.

Seattle witnessed another serious
runaway last Monday, in which a
vegetable wagon and soda water
wagon cOllided with serious if not
fatal results. It seems that the team
driven by n. S. Pecardo, an italian
gardener, made a dash down the hill
on Yesler way, and before the team
driven by George T. Maginnis, from
the bottling works, could get out OF
the way the runaways smashed into
it and the two men on the wagons
were dangerously wounded. One OF
the horses driven by George Magin-
mis- was so badly injured that it was
necessary to have him shot. Many
serious runaways have been reported
this season, and so numerous are
they that Chief Reed has issue an
order for his men to arrest all team
sters who leave their teams not well
fastened to either a weight or a post
As result Of this order, already
some fifteen or twenty teamster,
have been arrested, and each day tn,
officers are sending new men to the
headquarters for violating this order

1t Is quite plain to be seen FROM
the returns, which are slowly but
surely coming in, and from those
that are already in, that the Repub-
icans cut their ticket worse in the
late election than was ever before
reported, while on the other hand
the Democrats voted their ticket
straight. From the very outset it
was evident that the friends Of May
or Humes, who had been defeated
in the Republican primaries early
III the year, had resolved to knife
the leading candidates OH the coun-
ty ticket and the head Of the state
ticket, apparently to play even for
having been defeated in the pri-
maries. In King county Senator
Frink, Sheriff Van De Vanter and
W. H. White were made the targets
for their concentrated fire, and as a
result Mr.. Frink lost the county by
three hundred and over votes, while
Mr.. Van De Vanter lost it by fully
two thousand and Mr.. White by Il
less number. Each Of these candi-
dates was foremost in the primary
fight and succeeded in sending to
the state convention an anti-Humes
delegation, which so incensed the
friends Of Mr.. Humes that they
knitted the Republican ticket as a
revenge, or such would appear to be
the facts.

Early in January the Puget Sound

Horn to participate in the Spanish

tiago, and rendered valuable service
in sinking the Spanish men-of-war.
More recently the Oregon was in

on to a rocky shoal. She was So

a time that she would be a total

would be done by the police, the

pressed before another issue made its
appearance upon our streets.

In King county the state and coun-
ty committees were located in the
same building and with rooms on
the same floor, their relations being
very, very reciprocal, both of the
committees resolved themselves into
one great headquarters, with the two
chairmen giving their orders as two

Every chairman is fully given his
final instructions. The election Of
fcers are being carefully instructed
on the various points Of law con-
nected with the voting. The chal-
lengers are named and are armed
with poll books, showing how every
man in the precinct will doubtless
cast his vote, and is started to his
post of duty. He and all Of them
are previously well paid for their
days work, and, in most instances,
they give value received for the
money they have been paid. From
the rural districts the election Of
.fcers have come in for the ballot
box, for the official books and few
words Of good cheer from their
partisan leaders. Last, but nowise
least, are to be found the political
bilkers and grafters, who, not only
make life miserable for the chair
man of the central committee, but
likewise every candidate that they
can get close enough to talk to. Il
have so and so many votes in my
vest pocket, and if you do not show
me something substantial, they will
turn you down on tomorrow" is his
tale Of Woe It is generally too late
for such tricks to be turned, but
they are occasionally turned. The
CRATER of all men is the man the
candidate breads most. Strange to
say, he is the last man that the office
seeker dares to turn down or refuse
his requests.
