THE DEFEAT OF MIR. FRINK.

To Republicans v no have no SYM
pathy with the factional strifes Of party
leaders in Seattle, Tacoma and Spo-
kane, the defeat of Mr.. Frink is the one
thing to be regretted In connection
with the recent election in this state.
The dog-in.the.manger policy Of the
politicians who deliberately subordin.
sted the public good and party success
to crafty petty personal animosities
cannot be too severely characterized.
A few papers I'm sympathy with them,
like the Portland Oregonian, with
which Edgar b. Piper, who lost his
position as editor of the Post-Intelli.
genceY through the sale Of the paper to
Senator Wilson, is now connected, and
Mr.. Ankeny's Walla Walla Union,
edited by ]. Howard Watson, another
deposed employee Of the Post Intelli
gencer under the lie Roi ownership,
are now taking Satanic delight in at
tributing the result to the influence
exercised by ex-senator Wilson and
his friends In the convention which,
nominated Mr.. FriHk and the rest
of the Republican ticket, instead of the
'1slatc'' which had been agreed upon
by the Ankeny-H umes combination in
the event OF its success at the primar-
les. The conduct Of Humes aud his
allies, who showed the cloven hoof
throughout the late campaign and at
the polls, Is in striking contrast with
the course pursued by Senator Wilson
and the Post Intelligencer i'm loyalty
