The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-10-05

by Republicans? How many OF that
number, Mr.. Bee, were lynched i'll
states that 60 Republican? Is it not
fact, Mr.. Bee, that every Negro that
has been lynched in this country has
been lynched by Democrats, and
that, too, in the South? Talk about
kissing the hand that smites you the
hardest, but if, when colored men
support such a party is not a true
case of it, then please excuse the Pie
maker What have you to say for
! yourself, Mr.. Bee?
In roundabout way it has come
to the Pie-maker that the former
editor of the Bee, and who now owns
controlling interest in it, has been
most literally helped in his newspa-
per efforts by Judge Cam, and yet
that paper came out this week and
gave him a most unkind cut. Worse
could not have been said against a
man that had been a lifelong enemy
than what the Bee had to say against
its old friend Judge Cam.

The coal miners of this state have
reason to remember what the Nc
Kinley administration has done for
chem in the way Of giving them
steady employment Four years ago
the mines were running but from
two to three days in a week, and the
coal taken out in that time was a
drug on the market, so little was the
demand. How is it today? Every
mine in the state is calling for more
men at wages hundred per cent.
better than four years ago, and for
the citizens to get coal in any
amount they are compelled to order
it a week ahead. 1t is said by the
mine operators that they could sell
every pound of coal they take out to
California if they would do so. They
also declare that they could sell
every pound Of coal mined in this
state in the state, if they could give
up their outside contracts. Men are
wanted at the mines, is the daily cry.
Bryan said four years ago that such
a state Of affairs could never exist
unless he and his principles were
elected to the presidency, but Nc
Kinley and his principles were elect
ed, and so the latter has the credit Of
bringing good times and the coal
miners should show their apprecia-
ton Of that fact by voting for the
reelection Of Mr.. Mckinley, which
they undoubtedly will do.

Hon. J. NJ. Frink and the other
Republican candidates and speakers
have been receiving fattering recep-
tions in the Palouse country this
week, which must be quite convinc-
ing to the Rogers-Turner outfit that
there are Republicans in that section
of the state as well as Democrats.
While the vote in Whitman county
will be close, yet it is very evident at
tbs writing that the Republican
ticket will win out by a handsome
majority. According to reports re
ceived at the headquarters Mr. Frink
has been wildly cheered at every
point that he has spoken in Whit
man, so much SO as to throw the
pretended enthusiasm given Rogers
and Ronald completely in the shade.

There are but four more weeks of
campaign work before the final day
will be on lis, and all parties are
straining every nerve to do as effect
i've work as possible to bring things
round their way by that time In
the opinion Of the Pie-maker the
voters, for the most part, have al
ready made up their minds as to how
they will vote, and unless the unex-
pected happens they will vote that
way when the time comes round. Of
course those men who are waiting
for some one to shove something in
their hands before they decide as to
which is the great party Of this coun-
try are not to be considered in this,
and should not be considered when
it comes to the election, for such
men, were it possible, should be dis
franchised.
Will those colored voters in this
county who are going to support the
Democratic ticket locally point out
what either the Democrats or the fu-
siOnists, who have been in power in
this county for the past four years,
have done for the colored men in the
way Of giving them political recog-
milton? If you propose to make
change, gentlemen, then, for heav-
ems sake, change to some party that
has either done something for you
or some party that has not been in
