Where Washington Stands.

Whenever opportunity occurs, the
people of the state Of Washington make
demonstration of their loyalty and love
for the Republican party and the ad-
ministration that has added new glory
to its name. Most impressive in proof
of this was the great dinner given on
Thursday night by the Mckinley Re
publican Club Of Spokane. 1t was much
more than a local expression of enthusi-
asm, IL was an Illustration OF the tenn
per and feeling OF the state. A thous-
crowyiing guests. The representatives of
tried and true Republieanism were re-
ceived with tremendous demonstrations
of applause, and the policy of the party
was cheered TO the echo
1t liz significant that this was a spon-
taneous outburst of public feeling. It
was no carefully prepared event. 1t
was not part of the procedure of cam
paisn that has not yet begun. 1t repre-
OF patriotic citizens with the policy OF
the Republican party and the genius of
Republican leadership. More even than
the favorable returns from a great cleo
ton II spoke of the determination of
our people that the hand shall not be
set backward on the dial: that the Re
publican party and the men who repre-
sent the ideas that make and Keep II
forever great shall rule this nation OF
curs In its new glory as In its old.
The issue Of expansion has stirred this
commonwealth as no other has done
since II Joined the company of states.
Not only does II mean much for US. not
only does the new era come to us with
words OF promise on its lips and abun-
dant gifts TO strew Its path, but IL APP
peals 10 all the larger, nobler. manlier
impulses which stir the blood Of new
and vixoi Gus communities. We mean
10 keep what we have won because we
are q virile race; but stiil more do we
mean 10 make the enlargement Of our
borders a signal for the spread OF peace
and order and happiness and enlighten-
| ment and civilization. because the blood

has ever been his lot 10 prepare in the
wilderness a highway along which the
nation may march 10 moral as to ma
terisl triumphs
/ This Is the inspiration Of the Repub-
ucanism Of today. II is the soul that
animates the Republican party Of this
nation aud this state. II Is the eXplana-
ton Of such gatherings as the great re
union at Spokane, II kndled the lips
Of eloquence as II warns the heart and

feel that they are battling ln a great
