Tacoma News: The total vote in
the electoral college will be the same
this year as it was in 1896, when Nc
Kinley received 271 electoral votes
and Bryan 176. These states whose
electoral votes were given to McKin-
ley, Delaware, Indiana, Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland and West Vir-
GINA, are said to be more likely to
favor than to be against Bryan this
year. But if these five should give
Bryan their electoral votes and he
should lose none Of the states that he
carried in 1896 he would have only
300 electoral votes, the Republican
leaders say, against 227 for McKin-
lie The Republicans expect to get
the 1 vote given for Bryan in Cali
fornia and the 1 vote for him in
Kentucky, besides the 10 Of Kansas,
the 8 of Nebraska, the 4 of Washing
ton and the 4 of South Dakota, % in
all. If Bryan should get the A votes
of Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky,
Maryland and West Virginia, he
would have a net gain of only 10
votes"
Evidently this Democratic paper
has seen the handwriting on the wall
and it is preparing to crawl into the
band wagon.

Not content in defeating King
county for everything for which she
has asked in a political way during
the past four years, some of the poll
ticians of the state are now propos-
ing to add insult to injury and Cute

the congressman of this state. You
fellows will sooner or later run up
against a snag, see?

When it comes to the subject of
genuine "duplicity and double-deal-
ings in senatorial election Sena-
tor George Turner of Washington
should be considered as an authority
on it, for there does not seem to be
very much doubt but that it was by
the grace Of "duplicity and double
dealing" that Senator Turner now
holds the place that gives him the
right to pass on Others, who sought
to get a seat in the United States
senate as he had set the example.
Senator Turner should not forget
that "silence is golden" on his part
when the subject Of senatorial cor
ruption as to election is being dis
cussed.

In Senator George Turner refus-
ing to vote for Clark or Quay, ii
would appear that the men
did not stand together, which is
quite out Of the ordinary. Most
persons in this state do not know
very much about Senator Clark, but
from what they have read about him
they are, thoroughly convinced that
he and Senator Turner, so far as
senatorial elections are concerned,
are two Of a kind.

Mayor Van Wyck of Greater New

be for Mckinley.

Wharton Baker, a noted middle
of-the-road Populist, promises to be
another thorn in the flesh for Can
didate Bryan, equal to and even
more torturing than Gold Bug Dem
ocrat Dewey, as Baker is likely to
receive the nomination for president
from that school of politicians, and
thereby cause Mr.. Bryan to lose not
less than a million and half or two
million votes which he got four years
ago Dear Billy, they are dead after
you, and, at this stage of the game,
it begins to look as if they had about
overtaken you and that ere long you
will be a dead cock in the pit.

Some scheme had better be de-
vised by the Bryanites whereby they
can unite the Eastern Democrats be-
fore. trying to expand SO as to unite
the Eastern and Western Democrats
The Democrats Of these two sections
we believe, will be united again
when the East and the West are
united, and not before. Bryan has
split them forever.

Grant it that Captain Chadwick
did denounce Admiral Schley, even
then he has done no more than a
majority of the citizens Of this coun-
try have done. Petty jealousy has
prompted Admiral Schley to kick up
more disturbance in the naval circles
of this country than has ever before
been done during the entire lifetime
Of the navy, and for that reason, we
believe, it is high time for some one
who knows exactly whereof he speaks
to denounce the man.

Cecil Rhodes, so thinks DR.. J. G.
Hartzelle, the noted African mis-

church Of this country, is prince of
good fellows and will yet make the
sand scorched plains Of that be-

garden. We trust it was not liberal
contributions from the diamond
king that prompted that statement
from Mr.. Hartzelle.

A coterie Of preachers in the East
have decided to abolish shell. .
Just how they intend to go about it

would at least relieve our minds Of
much suspense in getting justice or

sponsibilities, President Mckinley has

lean patriot and the upright statesman
clear in vision, strong in judgement,
firm in action, always inspiring and de-
serving the confidence of his country
men," In asking the people to endorse
the Republican party for it's record of
business prosperity, stable currency
and patriotic Americanism, it should
be remembered that the threat to pros
perity has always existed in thesranks
OF the Democratic party as well as in it's
incapacity to properly manage our pub
lie affairs. The strength OF the Re-
publican platform, the strength of the
two candidates that represent it, and
the unanimity with which both were
endorsed by the Republican party in
Philadelphia will ensures more sweep
ing victory than was given for Mckln-
ley and prosperity in 1893.

THE ..TRUE" NEGRO.
The Type from Guinea Is the Most
Distinctly Characterised of ALI
the BlaekA.

Coming to the diversities of the stock
among the pure Africans, we may first
note the type which, in the rough judg
ment of the public, is the real or Guinea
negro. That he is so taken is doubt
less because he is the most distinctly
characterized of all black people. says
Prof. n. s. Shaler, in Popular Science
Monthly. The men of this welLknown
group are generally burly fellows
attaining at a relatively early age a
massive trunk and strong thighs; they
have thick necks and small though
variedly shaped heads. The bridge
of the nose is low, and the Jaws pro-
truding. The face, though distinctly
of low type, very often has a very
charming expression-one in which the
human look is blended with remnant
of the ancient animal who had not yet
come to the careful stage of life. The
women of this group are well made,
but commonly less so than the men.
In general form the two sexes of the
group are much alike. feature which
also indicates an essentially low sta
ton. These people of the Guinea type
form perhaps one-half of the southern
negroes.
