Andrew F. Burleigh, one of Seat
ties erstwhile Republican leaders.
opened the Republican campaign al
Spokane recently, and it is reported
that the smooth oratorical tongue OF
Andrew had not forgotten its cum
ming, regardless of the fact that ii
has not been heard on the rostrum
for some four years. No man in the
Northwest can make a more elo-
quent as well as logical speech than
Mr. Burleigh, and the state central
committee would do well to get Mr..
Burleigh to come this way once more
for a season. Seattle is always ready
to listen with open mouth to Andrew
F. Burleigh's political talks and he
should not be overlooked.

Perhaps no administration in the
history Of Washington, either as a
territory or a state, is guilty of as
many little public steals as the John
R. Rogers administration. Every
petty little bill that the governor
and his especial henchmen have
made for their own private benefit
has been tried to be saddled on to the
state treasurer for payment and re-
endorsement. Talk about your re-
form, but this is reform with a ven
geance, and Gov. Rogers will find
that out before he has finished ex-
planning his peculiar reforms in the
present campaign.

DO LIKE MCKINLEY TIMES

-Four years ago my wife and little
children were hungry for days and
weeks at time [ walked the streets
of Seattle offering a pair of stout
arms and willing hands, but from
day to day | was turned away with
the same answer, Nothing to do"
| feel like calling the working
man who thinks of voting for Bryan
fool. There are men in Seattle to-
day who will vote for Bryan and a
Change" who during the last awful
four years Of famine no milder
word can OF should be used-offered
to work for their board. What did
such condition mean to the man
who had wife and little children
depending on him for bread. 1t
makes precious little difference to
the laboring man who is president, if
that president is with The party that
inspires confidence and makes good
times. One man said to me, Chimes
are good in Seattle because of the
Alaska gold" If this were true and
other parts of the country were in a
democratic condition." thousands
upon thousands Of laborers and me-
chanics and laborers Of all classes
would flock to Seattle from all over
the country, and employers would
not, as they are today, be advertising
daily for labor of all kinds. The
man who casts his vote for change
ought to ask himself the question,
What will a change do for me?

Taking their cue from the Liar
(Times) of this city, a great many of
the opposition papers of this state
are bowling Wilson-McGraw at the
Republican ticket in answer to cold,
hard facts shot at them by the Re
publican campaign orators. 1t is
said that an American citizen never
learns Of the fact that either he OF
his great grandfather or some other
mersa4&g Of his family was guilty of
the most heinous crimes until he is
nominated for office. It's sad COM
mentary on the superior race" if il
be true, that those selected as its
standard-bearers on opposition
tickets are always men OF
the most questionable charac-
ter Without an excuse, save
cussedness, pure and simple, The
Times has most shamefully
abused Senator Frink since he has
been nominated for office, and this
has been taken up by the country
weeklies without knowing one thing
as to the truthfulness of what they
are talking about, but they think il
proper to print infamous lies for po
litical effect.

1t has been learned that quite a
few officeseekers were at Enumclaw
last Saturday to take in the local
Harvest Home fair that was being
held in that city, at which many of
the farmers were present. The can
didates took advantage of the large
gathering and showed up there, hop
ing to make votes for themselves.
The old grangers had, however, met
for a good time, and did not want tc
hear any partisan politics, and SC
they decided to let each of the can
didates speak five minutes on any
subject they liked, just so it was not
on politics. In other words, if you
want to show yourself and try your
hand at making votes on your shape

II am of the opinion" said Hon.
j. W. Arrasmith, secretary Of the
state Republican central committee,
that the Republican ticket this year
will be just as strong in Eastern
Washington as it was two years ago.
In fact, Eastern Washington will
give an increased Republican major

publicans will lose any of the larger

It's a fatal mistake for the Expo
nent, a spasmodic little weekly now
being published in Tacoma, having
failed to make it 60 in Seattle, to
try to induce the colored folk Of this
state to vote the Democratic ticket,
their most damnable as well as dead
ly enemy. Personally speaking,
the gentleman editing that spasmod-
ic sheet is a most excellent man, but
his political teachings are very very
bad. Every colored voter in the
South who has not been actually
killed for trying to vote has been dis
franchised, so that he cannot vote,
and this has been done by the Demo-
cratic party. The only reason the
same is not done in the North is be-
cause the Democrats are too few in
numbers. Wherever Democracy
prevails, then you can rest assured
that it is death for the black man to
make any pretense Of being other
than a slave or a mental. Whenever
, you see a colord man that will shut
his eyes and close his ears to all those
facts and advocate NegF2es sTpport-
ing Democratic nominees, he is do
ing so for the sake Of money at the
expense Of his race. 'Life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness" is the
cardinal principle Of American civil
ization, and yet the black men of
this country are denied that very
thing in every state south Of Mason
and Dixon's line Are you going to
vote for your deadly enemies?

F. c. Robertson's brother, of Lou
isiana, has spent his life defending
the criminal element of Louisiana
sor killing innocent Negroes because
those Negroes made an effort to use
the elective franchise. For that his
fellow criminals elected him to a seat
n congress. His brother F. G. de-
termined to cast has lot in the far
West, so he came to Washington, and
has spent the last eighteen months
IF his time defending criminals of
the worst type, the dynamiters of the
Occur dAlenes, and for that his
Democratic associates have honored
him with nomination for congress.
1t would thus seem that the more
pernicious a Southern mans associ-
ates are the more he is honored by
his fellow partisans. 1t should not
be forgotten what desperate race a
certain. Democrat made in this city
for the congressional nomination,
the one that Ronald got, simply be-
cause he had won hundreds and
thousands Of dollars at the poker
table and was able to pay big money
to the Democratic central committee
if he were nominated.

1t is reported that owing to the
exceeding friendliness that the Re
publican party Of this county has
shown to certain Smiths" that they
intend to go to work to get the en-
tire "Smith family" to vote the Re
publican ticket, and thereby give it
the largest majority that any ticket
in this county ever before received.
There is no doubt but that the
"Smith family can do that very
thing if it will, and it seems that it
has made up its mind to will it. So
far as the Pie-maker is aware there
will not be many of the Smiths in
King county that will vote against
the Republican nominees. The King
county ticket has three Smiths
as nominees on it for one thing or
the other, and the Smiths highly ap-
preciate that very fact.

you can do so. Fortunately for the
Republican county ticket, their best
looking candidates were in attend
ance and unfortunately for the
Democrats, their worst-looking can
didates were on hand, so it is cur
rently reported that the Republicans
captivated the grangers and their
fairer sex and that Enumclaw will
not give single Democratic candi-
date a majority Of votes at the next
election.

Gov. Rogers wanted the state to
pay the expenses Of his wife and
daughter to visit about over the
state, and that, too, despite the fact
that he was elected on an economic
platform. He and his friends are
boasting of the fact that the Rogers
administration saved the state many
thousands Of dollars. For the sake
OF argument, and for the sake Of ar
gument alone, grant that it has.
Now, the question is, did Gov. Rog-
ers do that saving, or did Neal
Cheetham do it? From the CORE
spondence that has passed between
the governor and the state treasurer,
it would appear that Mr.. Cheetham
S the man. If Gov Rogers ever
saved the state a single cent Of
money, he reclaimed it all for Pull
man car service for himself and fam
lily to travel from one part of the
state to the other or to pay for his
private kilograms to his henchmen
concerning his own nomination.

POLITICAL POT=PIE

To September 22d not a single
political speech, according to the
Elma Chronicle, had been made in
Chehalis county, and not a single
heated political discussion between
individuals had been heard on the
streets of Elma, which the Chroni-
Gle declares |'to be a funny cam
paign." Oh, that can all be fully
accounted for. 1t lies in the fact
that the men who were arguing poll
tics from a Bryan standpoint four
years ago have on an average Of 16
to l found good jobs at paying
salaries under the Mckinley admin
istration, and they do not have time
to discuss politics; and even if they
should take time, they are perfectly
willing to let well enough alone.
That spirit of contentment is to be
found not only in Chehalis county,
but in every other county in this
state, yea, every other county in the
United States, not even excepting
the South.

sent as a candidate for vice-president
the name of David Bennett Hill"
A StranSe Pantornime.
The effect was electrical, and Il tidal
wave of enthusiastic approval swept
over the convention. Delegates stood
on their chairs and waved frantically,
not i'll a few scattered groups, but in
solid phalanXes. Flags and standards
were again mingled in triumphant pro-
cession while a roar as from Niagara
rulsated through the great structure.
Grady stood there proudly waiting for
The storm to. subside. But as he waited
the audience observed a strange panto-
mime. They saw Hill feave the New
York delegation ana push through the
throng mp to the platform. They could
see him appeal to Grady to withdraw,
while Grady's answer was apparent
from the shake of his head, and his adj
vance to the front Cf the platform to
continue his nominating speech.

When the. demonstration had sub

placing Hill before the convention.
But as he stepped from the platform,
the man who had just been placed in
nomination took his place. The sena-
tor looked cut sternly, even savagely,

could be heard, he made due ackuowl-
cdgments Of the honor done him.

test in vain, when be strobe to the
platform and in tones which left no
doubt of their sincerity. earnestly be-
sought the convention not to make him
the nominee.
The Crowds Took Possession.
The proceedings yesterday moved
with great briskneSs. The aspect of
the vast auditorium was truly demo-
cratic when the Session began. Antici-
pGting the close of the convention the
general public was admitted freely,
and as a result great crowds ernptied
into the body of the hall, not only fill
ing every available seat in the area
and aisles, but also overlooking into
the arena reserved for delegates. while
soil e more adventuresome individuals
scaled the iron girders and locked
down from q dizzy height on the 10000
people packed below. The crowd prac-
ticGlly took possession of the proceed
ings, and at times the chairman and
his officials were so powerless to pro-
ceed that they gave up to the multitude
until the various demonstrations spent
themselves.

party leader

OenlOnStEattOn lot nEyAAe
A huge oil portrait of Bryan, meas
uring Is feet across, was brought down
the main aisle before the delegates. AT
the same time. the standards of the
state delegations were torn from their
sockets and waved on high, while UNI
brellas of red, white and blue. silk ban
ners of the several states and many
handsome and unique transparencies
were borne about the building amid
the deafening clamor of 10000 yelling,
gesticulating men and women All OF
the intensity of former demonstra-
tions, and much more, was added to
this final tribute to the leader.
When the demonstration had spent
itself the speeches seconding the nom
nation of Mr. Bryan were in order.
Senator White spoke for California,
giving the tribute of the Pacific coast
to the Nebraska candidate.
When Colorado was reached that
state yielded to David b. Hill, of New
York. The audience had anxiously
awaited the appearance of the distin-
guished New Yorker, and as he took
the platform he was accorded a splen-
did reception. The entire audience
rose, and cheered wildly, with the sim
gle exception Of the little group OF
Tammany leaders, who sat silent
throughout the cheers for their New
York associate.
Mr.. Hill was in fine voice, and his
tribute to the Nebraskan touched a
sympathetic chord in the hearts of the
audience. He pictured Bryan as the
champion of the plain people and OF
the workingman, strong. with the
masses, with the farmer, and with the
artisan.
Hilrs Plea for Uniting.
Wheia Hill declared with dramatic
emphasis that the candidate would
have the support of his party-a unit
ed parry-there was tremendous ap-
plause at the suggestion of democratic
unity. Aside from the brilliant eulogy
of Bryan, the speech of the New York
leader was chiefly significant and at
tractive in its strong plea o unity.
at is a time for unity, not for divi.
tion,'' he exclaimed, to the rapturous
approval of the great multitude facing
him.
The eloquent Daniel, of Virginia
added his glowing tribute to the can,
didate, while former Gov. Pattison, OF
Pennsylvania, spoke for his state and
for the east.
Gov. McMillin of Tennessee voiced
the wishes of a state which had
furnished three president" Hawaii
through its native delegate, John I'll.
Wise, made its first seconding speech
in a Democratic national convention.
Finally a sweet-voiced and pleasant
faced woman alternate from Utah Sec
onded the nomination of Mr.. Bryan in
behalf of the state of Utah.
