A Last Word


Before the battle Of the ballots shall
have been fought ont and the moment
Gus issues. involved in this campaign
shall have been settled, The Gazette can
say no more. With this last word it
awaits the verdict at the polls, with
every confidence that republican nom
inees and republican principles will
emerge triumphant in nation, state and
county. 1t cannot believe otherwise
than that the drift OF public sentiment
is, and of right ought to be, toward the
republican standard of government. 1t
does not believe that the sunlight OF
prosperity can or will be obscured by the
smoked glasses of a shifty opposition,
which has taken up one burning issue
after another, only to drop them for
new ones when they became too warm to
hold. 1t does not fear the verdict OF
the people upon the calamitOus cries of
the deRpairing party which breaches woe
and disaster and wreck of the great re
public if republican principles are en-
dOrsed and continued in force. Since
the days Of the great Thomas Jefferson
these despairing walls have emanated
from the lusty lungs of democracy.
Each recurring presidential contest has
revived the democratic banshee. The
days of Lincoln heard more bitter invec-
tive and foolish predictions of ruin and
death to the great republic than even
the calamity crOakers of this campaign
could cOnluTe up. And yet the republic
i1ves-greater and grander, more pro-
gresslve and prosperous than in all the
previous years of it's history. The
bOgies Of democracy have not frightened
in the past; they will not frighten now.
The liberties OF the people have not
been abridged; they will not be.
With firm faith in the wisdom and past
experiences of the people, and q belief
that the future holds good and not evil
ID store for the nation, and for US all as
people, The Gazette awaits the outcome.
While success seems certain, every re-
publican is exhorted to do his duty as a
citizen and as a republican. Every re-
publican vote in Whitman county should
be cast, and cast right. The opposition
has nothing In common with a republi-
can that a vote should be wasted upon
any one of it's candidates. A republican
cannot believe in the doctrines promul-
gated by the democracy in this cam
gaign. Then why encourage with a vote
any man unfolding them, ana who
would put them in force and effect if
elected?
Cast your ballot; vote your ticket, and
glorious victory is ours all along the
line.
Do not stay away from the polls; do
not permit your neighbOr to do so, if he
is republican.

Chairman Drum of the democratic
campaign committee has made the pre-
posterous claim that Bryan and the
democratic state ticket will carry Wash
ington by from 10000 to $4,000. As a
principal basis for this crazy claim.
Chairman Drum asserts that the demo-
Gratis will take Whitman county by from
1900 to $500. Chairman Drum is talk
ing through his drum head. What he
meant to say, ii he has any regard for
the truth, is that the democrats will Doll
1900 votes in Whitman county. If his
state figures are no more reliable than
his Whitman county ones, he had better
revise them to 10000 republican. At
any rate, his boasts do not look well,
following SO closely the committees let
ters of instruction sent out the other
day to their speakers and party work
ers, announcing that salt will not save
the democratic state or congressional
tickets, and that they must put in all
their strength for the election of Rogers,
dallying with others on the ticket only
sufficient to keep up appearances.

THERE GAN BE NO EXTERNAL fRRsEA4SO
WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE.
Only a Few More DAYS,
If the blood is in a pure, healthy conditic

With the closing of the polls at 7
O'Clock next Tuesday evening will come
to an end one of the most momentous
campaigns in the history of the republic.
Its Importance lies in the future. ONLY
few DAYS remain for the completion OF
the canvass by the republican party,
and too much stress cannot be laid upon
the suggestion here made that during
the brief time left for organization every
honorable effort be made to present a
united, harmonious and aggressive front
to the opposition on election day.
Every republican genuinely believing
in the principles OF his party, and hav-
ing a desire to see them triumph over
the opposing principles which he belevea
are bad, should Constitute himself
self-appOinted committee of one to labor
in the political vineyard from now till
close OF the polls. He should see that
not only bis own vote is cast right, but
that rs many Others as possible to
obtain in legitimate ways find their way
into the ballot boxes marked with re
publican brands.
To every republican the Gazette would
say: Do your duty to country and to
party; give what assistance lies in your
power to the county and state organiza-
tiOns, TO the end that complete victory
for principles you love may be attained
GU will not regret it.

How is this for the valiant man who
so boldly talked silver until the cam,
paign opened? How does it set on the
silver champions of the west, who follow
Bryan because of silver? How do they
like his evasion and cOwardice when sill
yer is mentioned before an eastern audi
ence, while his speakers are sent west to
preach it? During a speech at Camden,
\. j., some one held up a silver dollar.
Bryan, who seems suddenly to have lost
all his "sOrdidness," said: Il notice a
gentleman over there held up a silver
dollar and he evidently wants to know
something about silver and will remind
him that bis desire TO hear something
about money and nothing about human
rights illustrates the sordid level upon
which the republican party is fighting
this campaign" This is refreshing, in
deed. Quite a change seems to have
come over the spirit of the dreams Of
the ''cross of gold" and "crown of
thorns" candidate.

The democrats, in their terrible anx-
iety to elect Governor Rogers, again are
making the most preposterous claims as
to his vote. In order to pull a few re-
publican votes for him east of the
mountains they are working hard with
falsely concocted reports to make it ap-
pear that Seattle and King county will
go heavily against Frink. This is their
last hOpe to bolster up a man badly
beaten; it is one OF desperation. La
Seattle and King county they are telling
the same thing about east of the noun
tains. The democrats know it is not
true, but by it they hope to whipsaw
both ways. No republican should be
fooled by so transparent trick, only to
be laughed at when the ballots are in
the boxes. Stay by your ticket and
