The campaign closes on behalf of the
Democrats with frantic and desperate
appeal to the slums Of the two great cities
of America-New York and Chicago.
There Is the last stand OF the Democratic
party: and the last faint, glimmering hope
Of success is in the carrying enough OF
the vote OF crime. vice and ignorance there
to overcome the heavy Republican ma
jorities in New York and Illinois. out
side OF those cities. Every thug, crimi-
nal dive-keeper, panderer to vice and
Stun leader is enrolled under the Bryan
banner. and working desperately to over
come the normal Republican majority in
these states. Every appeal is directed to
arouse the passions Of the criminal mob:
to bring out all Of the forces which are
in chronic antagonism to law and order;
and to array them against the decent. the
law-abiding and the property owning peo-
Pile.
Desperate Democratic politicians have
openly counseled violence and destruction
OF polling places. and the mobblng Of vot.
ers who oppose the criminal propaganda.
This is the last stage Of campaign
which opened with lofty appeal to the
highest sentiments OF liberty-loving peo-
Pile. on behalf OF the alleged oppressed
inhabitants OF the Philippine islands. IT
10 the closing chanter In tho Instrumentation
of Brsanism, which has become on ap-
pea. to passions OF the lowest class and
banks it's last remaining hope on the
vices. the votes and the violence Of
slums inhabited by the ignorant and de.
based Of all nationalities What have the
people OF The state Of washington IN
common with the people to whom this last
appeal Of Piyanism is now addressed!

Seattie's Opportunity.

No dispassionate observer has the
ley Few Democrats, not blinded by par
tisanship. seriously question the result ip
the nation as a whole In the language
Of the street. 'ft is all over but the shout
ing" For the first time since Seattle was
founded, it's citizens have an opportunity
to cast their votes In approval of a ma
tional administration which has found out
that there is a Pacific coast to this con-
tinent. and a Pacific ocean trade to be
cultivated and expanded: and whose poll
cies include what it has done and what 1t
expects to do toward advancing the In
terests and the trade OF the Pacific coas.
cities.
On such a showing as this-with such
issues presented to its citjzens--there II
no doubt as to the result here. Every
loyal citizen of seattie-every man who
has become possessed OF the true Seattle
spirit"--should give his vote to the ad-
ministration, the reelection OF which
means so much to the material inter-
ests OF the town; and against the reac-
tionaries who wish to wipe out the record
made in the last three years.
In all sober sincerity. 1t is not too much
to say that on the issues OF this cam
pagn. particularly regarding their bear
ing on the welfare and the future pros
perity and growth OF Seattle. the vote Of
this city ought to be absolutely unani-
nous for the reelection OF Mckinley and
two Republican congressman.

to a lost cause ahead OF their true inter-
ests and ahead OF their loyalty to the

say that many who cast their votes for
Bryan will nevertheless be exceedingly
grateful for the election OF Mckinley. the
insured continuance of present conditions
and the putting into effect OF the outlined
policies Of the Republican party. That
means the expansion of the trade OF the
Pacific and the building up Of great
commercial city in Seattle.

In only support Of the Democratic con-
tention that all OF the Asiatios in the

A Last Word.

battle VIII be on. The Post-Intelligencer
has endeavored TO set forth with fair
ness. with candor and with unvarying
ndeiity 10 fact the issues that are in
volved in II. II has no more to say to
the people than Its last word OF solicit
tation. to vote as intelligence and con-
science direct. The country can survive
honest mistakes 1t can survive any,
thing but the decay Of manhood and a
falling away from duty. And IL intelii-
gence and conscience prevail. we feel that
our cause is won.
IT II an impressive, solemn thought
that the government OF the greatest ma
ton on earth, the bestowai OF the Hottest
Office and the highest power. will be de-
termined today by the freely expressed
will Of free people. From ocean to
ocean millions OF men are marching stead
IVY to the polling booths, and the rust
ling OF the ballot IL heard from shore to
shore Of the continent. There has been
no such spectacle in all the history OF
the world. He is OF mean spirit who
does not thrill with the pride OF citizen
ship. with the sense OF momentous issues
Ringing upon his simple act.
We have not the slightest doubt Of the
issue. because we trust the people. The
dividing line has been drawn broad and
plain. Weeks OF discussion have winnow-
only tn wheat remains. The American
people are to choose between continued
prosperity and a business condition which
the most moderate view calls temporary
cessation Of progress and the most ex-
treme names panic and ruin: between
fhe maintenance Of financial stability
and long period of doubt and distrust
between a proud place at the head of the
world powers and station at the rear:
between order under the law and the
Revolutionary system OF the asitator: be-
tween territorial expansion and the with
drawal Of the nag from territory that IL
ours by every title known to the law Of
nations; between the discharge OF .
great duty and IgnominIous refusal to
assume our legitimate responsibilities:
between progress and retrogression.
Reduced 10 the last analysis. stripped
OF all the accessories that come with q

to be passed upon by our people today:
these the issues that will win or lose with
the setting OF the sun. We believe that
