The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-09-14

Il leave tonight for the East to at
tend the POstmasters' convention,
SAID hon. q. NJ Stewart, Seattle
efflclent postmaster, last Saturday
Il have no idea Just now how long
will be gone, but you can rest assur.
ed that L propose to get back as soor
as 1 possibly can and help out the
campalng all | know how. | have
been In politics ever since | have
been IN this city and county, and
want to tell you 1 never saw things
look more favorable for a clean Re
publican sweep than at present
Both the county and state central
committees are doing excellent work
and 1t is the duty OF every Republi-
can IN the state to render them all OF
the assistance that they can do to
make success doubly certain
Ii there is diSgruntled Republi-
can in all King county this year the
Ple-maker has not heard of such.
There may be some Republicans who
DO not feel as friendly toward the
ticket as they otherwise would had
their friends been named by the
county and state conventions, but
they will most loyalty support the
ticket. Last spring many Of the
leading Republicans in this city
fought with desperation the pro-
posed denomination Of Mayor
Humes, but he was renominated in
spite of them, and they at once pull
s ed OF thor coats and worked lust as
hard for his election as If they had
been for him. That is true blue Re
publlcanism. The Democratic advo-
Gates say that the Republicans are
going to lose hundreds of silent vot-
ers in this county this year, but what
more could you expect for Demo
crat to say? He has to say some
thing, and that is the only thing he
can say and keep the Republicans
from catching HIM in a bare-faced
falsehood.
-Four years ago when the Fusion
lists said large numbers of Republi-
cans were going to bolt the Republi-
can ticket, they have evidential proof
to substantiate their allegations. for
the Republicans themselves were
ready to stand up in meeting and de-
clare I'VE are bolting," but it is quite
different this year, and the Pie-mak-
er defies any Democrat to point to a
single man IN Hing county, who has
heretofore been an avowed Republi-
can, who Is this year supporting
Organism. He further deties the
Democratic organ or organs to point
to a bakers dozen Free Silver Re
Pubhcans who supported Bryan in
1896 who are supporting HIM this
year. The most radical free silver
advocates, who left the Republican
party three years ago for the sake of
free silver, are now ardent Mckinley
men. While, on the other hand.
men who voted for Organism four
years ago are today working for Re
publican success. The falling straWs
tell the course Of the wind.
The Democrats have again rallied
their forces and have succeeded in
naming a county ticket, subject to
the APPROVAL Of the voters in Novem-
Der. After much labor and travail
all day Monday, running through the
entire night, which was often threat
ened with boiling interruptions, the
following county ticket was named:

cobs, E. d. Benson and R. G. Strud-
wick.
