QUESTION OF MAJORITIES
Sam II. Nichols Believes Eastern
Washington Is Certain to Sup

Sam Fl. Nichols. Republican candidate
for secretary OF state, arrived In Seattle
yesterday after a campaign tour through
the Eastern Washington counties with
Mr. Nichols regards the outlook with
confidence of Republican victory. The en-
tire southern belt OF counties; str etc
positively assured to the Republican
ticket. and In not more than two OF the
eastern counties does Mr.. Nichols believe
there is the least room for doubt as to
the result.
1.-THE meetings which attended" said
Mr.. Nichols yesterday, were more than
well attended; the halls were seldom
large enough to accommodate the crowds,
and In many places we had TO hold over
flow meetings. Any report of apathy In
served is entirely unfounded: Fhere was
certainly no evidence of lack of In
terest in Republican meetings, but heard
everywhere that the fusion speakers did
''Okanogan. Chelan, Kittitas. Yakima,
Klckitat. Franklin. Adams. Walia wala.
Garfield, Asotin and lincoln. are certain
TO turn in substantial Republican majori.
ties. In most OF these counties the local
fusion managers concede that the chances
are greatly against them. The Republi-
does not surpass. those given by the
larger counties on this side. Republican
leaders In Whitman claim the county by
from 900 to 400 majority: Stevens Is con-
siiered safe for 800 or more
THE admissions OF the fusioniets In all
the eastern counties do not In any way
support the extravagant claims Of their
state committee. The continuous exposi.
ton of the inside workings of Rogers
administration Is having tremendous ef-
fecs. and from now on L Is simply ques-
tion. of increasing the Republican majori-
ties"
Mr.. Nichols went to his home in Ev-
erett last evening for a days rest. after
which he will go on through Skagit and
Wnatcom counties.

London's exultation over the capture of
SIion Kop proves to have been premature
Cen. Butler announced this morning that
position during the night, and although
there are no explanatory details it Is taken
for granted that the Beers had poured so
hot a fire upon the Kop from their en-
trenchments further on that the British
could not endure the exposure and retreat
ed. This suggests anew the suspicion
which was provoked by the announcement
of yesterday that the small Boer garrison
on Spion Kop had been surprised by War
reu's advance and fled. 1t was surInsed in
some quarters that this meant trap by the
Beers, to lure the British upon an exposed
contracted from positions already chosen 1t
seems questionable whether the Beers would
have left so important a position as the
kcp provided with only a small garrison
especially after the announcement had been
made from London. and perhaps communi-
Gated forthwith to the Boer headquarters
by the underground route controlled by Dr.
Leyds. and it is furthermore matter for
astonshment-save upon the assumption of
prepared trap-that this garrison should
have been surprised in the midst of a gen.
eral engagement having for its object the
capture of this very point.
The evacuation of Spion Kop places Gen.

ago, only with probably depleted force

The time the Senate is giving to the pro-
posed suffrage amendment to the North
Carolina constitution is well bestowed and
il is good to see that some of the ablest
members of that body are participating in
the debate The subject goes to the root of
our institutions. What is of higher irnpor-
lance indeed in a popular government than
just determination of the question of who
shall and who shall not vote?
And now that the question is under dis
cussion in body in every way competent
to handle it, one could hope to see the dis
cussion kept as free as possible from all
heat or mere partisanship. Nor should
there be any beating about the bush Moth
ing is plaiaer Than that the abridgment OF
suffrage in the south has grown directly
out of the comforting of suffrage upon the
negroes Necessarily the point Is raised as
to whether both the blacks and the whites
were not injured by that enlargement of
the electorate: but the fact remains that
the right of suffrage was so conferred, and
that the Constitution of the United States
protects that right and prescribes penalty
for violation of its provisions by any
state. So that, in the last analysis, the
question really is negro suffrage, and moth
ing else.
groes stand disfranchiseG there is no dis
guise as to the situation or its meaning
Some of the ablest OF the local leaders ac-
knowledge the unconstitutionality of the
work II represents at best but an effort
TO arrive at results at the polls without the
shedding OF blood the stuffing of ballot
boxes Force and fraud had grown dis
tasteful TO those who had felt impelled to
the employment of such agencies to carry
the day But the situation was one of ex-
IRENE difficulty. and even the most learned
lawyers in attempting to relieve it found
their powers taxed to the utmost to draft
something that would even appear TO pass
muster.
Matters will probably not be permitted TO
rest as they are. In national affairs one
vote in South Carolina counts for as much
as ten in Illinois or Michigan, and suc1
inequality is against both fair play and
good government. But the question Of
remedy and justice TO all is broad and COM
Pick, and the bringing of it forward in the
Senate was wise, and il ought to produce
good results
