So 1t seems that there is no hope for
the passage OF any bill at Washington
that will interfere with free access by
miners to the beach or make II possible
for corporations to gobble up claims;
that the transportation companies. be-
ing directed by common business sense,
are distinctly hostile to any action that
would limit the number Of people go
ing to Cape Nome or the opportunities
that draw them thither: and that the
military force in the district will con-
slst Of single regiment, scattered along
the mighty coast. merely to see that
order Is preserved. Thus perish all the
Misrepresentation Of interested parties
anxious to collect fees from intending
miners, while casting wholly baseless
imputations upon the policy and mo-
tives Of the authorities.

Vote the Republican Ticket.

Vote the Republican ticket and vote It
give to the voter on election morning.
For the Republican ticket Is not thing
OF shams and pretences. II is what IL
processes to be, the list of Republican
candidates, nominated by a Republican
convention, standing on a Republican
platform. No man who calls himself
give it his hearty support.
From first to last the candidates pre-
scented should command Republican
loyalty. There is no need to enumerate
here their qualifications or the claim
that they have upon the people. They
are strong men, honest men. capable
men. In their hands the future of the
city is safe. BY them the affairs OF the
city will be well administered. From top
to bottom, from the executive chief
through the list OF city officials and the
nominees for membership in the coun-
ell. the party has selected men who
should find the Republican following
solid and steadfast behind them.
Unlike the opposition, Republican
party has not waged campaign Of per-
sonal Islander and foul abuse. 1t does
not attack the character Of men because
they aspire to political office. 1t has
opposed hypocrisy and torn the mask
from vice masquerading In the role OF
virtue But what is this thing set up
In competition, but a combination OF
men eager for place and pelf? 1t calls
itself Democratic" ticket. but its or
gan said last night: '.rhe ticket which
Is labeled Democratic is so labeled
simply because the law compels these
forces to adopt that name" And this
Is literally true. Only the cohesive
force of public plumber holds this ag-
gregation together. Only the law COM
pels 1t to take the Democratic name.
Under what persuasion or compulsion
can any honest Democrat go to the polls
today and swallow the nauseous dose
prepared for him by the dictators Of
local factions; unrepresentative. un-
Democratic. expressing nothing but the
combination OF sham and appetite?
There Is good reason why the Prohi-
bitionist, the single taxer. the Socialist
who is ashamed to avow his socialism
openly. the rank and file of the faddists
should vote the composite ticket. There
Is none that can reasonably secure for
It or any candidate upon II the ballot
OF sincere Republican or thorough
going Democrat. For an administra-
ton which It represents could not fail
u combine the worst faults and failures
OF both the old parties. with all the dis
asters that fall upon experiments with
political novelties and the makeshifts
of the office-seeker. In behalf OF his
party and his city. let every man who
has at heart the interest OF either city
or party vote the straight Republican
ticket

Of an ever-changing transient popula-
ton, with hundreds OF gold seekers and
adventures going to and coming from
the North, there has been an immunity
from lawlessness which is remarkable
when all the circumstances are taken
into consideration. Breaches Of the law
there have been, to be sure but GER
tainly no such era of crime and disor-
der as the fusion plotters recklessly pro-
claim to the world.
There are cities on the Coast as large
as or larger than Seattle which have
not had to face all the remarkable con-
ditions growing out of the Klondike ex
element, and not one of them can show
a record Of honest municipal admins
tration that compares with that given
the people of this city. In none of them
has there been less official corruption:
in none of them have municipal evils
been less hurtful; in none of them has
there been stricter supervision of the
liquor traffic. And yet the fusion ora
tors who are loud in their support OF the
combine for spells are willing to malign
the city and its reputation for good or

that we are at the mercy Of the bandits
