The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-03-09

Will FL, Parry, who lacked but
about 29O of polling as many
votes as Frank Paul, is said to be
slated for the presidency of the
next council. He has already fit
ed up bis Office at Moran Brothers
shop and it is said to be furnished
in a most elaborate style. On
such a salary as Mr.. Parry is said
to be getting from the Moran
Company he can we'll afford such
comfortable quarters.
The Democrats, perhaps. had no
interest in the Union ticket be-
yond the election Of Meade Emery
and Leander Miller. 1t was
thought that Jim McElroy would
whip some Of the First ward into
line, but persons acquainted with
jim knew he was too much tied to
men, who drink and carouse, to
use his influence for Cotterill
1t was rumored and not without
some foundation that, the day
before the election George u
Piper received $1,000 from Levi
Ankeny for campaign purposes,
and that was put into the hole the
night before the election came off.
That's one thing that George can
do.
The saloons were all closed
during election day with one ex-
ception, and the scrape grace who
dared to open was promptly ar
rested, and, the Pie-maker trusts
he will be fined $1,000. Such
Smart Alex deserve being taught
good wholesome lesson by the
strong arm Of the law.
P. L. Runkle, candidate for
treasurer. issued a circular the
day before the election, which was
circulated at the polls, to the effect
that, he was the only German
American on any ticket, and, asked
that he be given a vote for that
reason. He was defeated and the
Pie-maker suspects that the voters
remembered Of another German
American that was elected treasur-
er of this city and to save Mr..
Runkle the trouble and anxiety of
the other fellow they thought it
best to not vote for him.
II Mayor Humes takes his cue
from the business men that went
for him the strongest as to how to
run this city, he will take it from
the thugs and bunco men Of the
First ward, for in that ward, and
that ward only, did His Honor run
ahead Of his ticket.
Ii Tommy Navin does not turn
black In the near future it wont be
because he did not have some
pretty dark political bedfellows in
the late campaign. The Pie
maker is told that 1876 Negroes
voted for Mr.. Navin simply be-
cause Mr.. Griffin told Mr.. Weir he
would deliver them to him, Weir.
70 promise is easy, but to deliver
is difficult
Some Republicans are pretty
bad Republicans" thought an old
time Republican one day this
week, "but any Of them are always
much better than Democrat"
This accounts for Mayor Humes
getting a number Of votes that he
otherwise would not have gotten.
The Kinnears did not defeat DIR.
Chrichton as they so much desired.
and now, there is weeping and
wailing i'll the Paris house as we'll
as the home Of the poor misguided
wretch, who wanted to open \
saloon in Kinnear Park, where SO
many families of the city 60 for
an outing IN the hot summer days.
The Social Democratic ticket
and the Social Labor ticket each
managed to get an average of 20
votes throughout the entire city in
the late election, showing that they
have to do considerable growing
before their ideas get to any extent
fastened on the ''dear people"
