The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-10-19

Gov. Roosevelt and Secretary
Meiklejohn have driven Mr.. Bryan
off his daredevil braggadocia cam
paign pinnacle, and put him on the
defensive, and that, too, at a serious
disadvantage.
Seattle's Daily Liar must have the
largest and most complete lying
mandatory this side of Greater
New York, and, we can assure our
readers, that the lies it turns out are
of the most superior quality.
That Seattle Hawk that died the
other day doubtless found it no seri-
Gus inconvenience to adjust himself
to his angelic wings, as he must have
accustomed himself to wings while
doing the hawk act in this world.
Just as is the Democratic party
vilifying Mckinley today, so did the
same old Democratic prostitute viii
fly Lincoln when he was a candidate
for reelection; but he was elected
in spite Of it, and likewise will Nc
Kinley be elected in spite Of it.
Do not lose sight Of the fact, dear
reader, that Seattle is not only a
Lippy city, but it is likewise large
and lovely city. 1t took millions OF
Dawson gold to make it such, but it
is such, the opposition of Tacoma,
Portland and San Francisco to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Newspapers published by colored
men in this state periodically come
and 90. but The Seattle Republican
stands like a stone wall and is as
regular as the weeks come round.
At present it is without a competition
in that line in the state, though two
Democratic Negro newspaper spasms
were recently attempted in the
Queen City The Bee buzzed the
Exponent over to Tacoma, and then
the Bee, falling to find the neces-
sary sweets to keep it alive, passed
quietly to the great beyond.
If the farmers of this state are not
doing most extremely well in the
selling Of their produce at big
profits, then why is it more profit
able for the United States govern
ment to buy oats in the East, trans
port them across the continent an6
then ship them to Manila and the
Orient from this point than to buy
in this state? Oats in this state sell
at an enormous price, and that, too
despite the fact that Washington il
one Of the great oat-producing
states.
The Exponent, a Democratic
weekly published by colored man
declares that it is going to delive
the coIOred vote Of this state owe
to the Democratic party. 1t ma.
be so, but if it does the Southern
Democrats that belong to that part,
will take steps to have them dis
franchised no sooner than it has de
| livered them over. The colored vOt
ers had better not take any chance
with Southern Democracy, whethe
it be in Washington, North Carolina
Mississippi or Louisiana.
Senator Turner makes no bone
now of announcing that the Demo
Gratis of this state must save the GOV
ernor though they lose the balanc
Of the ticket. Certainly Senate
Turner wants the governor saved
if all else is lost, because it mean
that the governor will help Turne
get back to the United States sen
ate. Self-preservatiOn is the frs
law of nature, and is but natural tina
Turner look out for Turner. Tina
spirit accounts for him having beer
a member of every political part,
that has been organized in this state
President NIitchell's head is al

that all other labor leaders that hay,
been at the head Of great strikes go
in, most awfully swelled and dis
torted condition. They all permit
their heads to swell and swell, unit
they burst for lack Of more swelling
capacity on account of their self
assumed Importance. Like the great
railroad strike in 1895, the present
great coal strike in Pennsylvania i;
going to end in a most miserable fail
IRE for the laboring men, and make
a millionaire out Of Mitchell. Debs
