men, with the men who disregarded
their pledges to reduce freight rates,
and for introducing an anti free-pass
bill when nearly all the members rode
on passes. This accounts for the un-
popularity, but the constitution COM
mands the legislature to affix penal
ties and enforce the anti-pass.
fSec. 80, Art. p. There are other
people to please, however, besides the
above, and I believe that when it came
to oyster legislation-the fish CON-
mittee of the house granted my sug-
gestions that embodied the wishes of
the oystermen OF Puget Sound as ex-
pressed by them to me.
There were 7SS measures introduced
into the house and senate and as but
l49 laws and appropriation bills
passed, number must have failed.
And as less than 130 laws, exclusive
Of appropriation bills, were passed by
liz men, I believe came out better
than the Tribune man says did; but
! console myself with the thought that
/ did as well, if not better, than SEN
ator McReavy, who introduced four
bills and succeeded in passing one, and
that $4,000 deficiency appropriation
bill, though two others passed the
senate.
Viewing it from that standpoint, Mr.
Tribune, / accomplished several times
that amount. l am not attacking
Senator McReavy, but as the Tribune
is in comparison business 1 ought to
be allowed the same privilege. I new
er deserted any senatorial candidate
'on the eve OF election" nor did I fail
to carry out any promises made before
election, nor never expect to fail in
any promise hereafter.
tribune says: "Gupderson was
never to be found in his seat when bills
came up fo, final passage" In reply
to that I have to say that l answered
every roll call, was never tardy a min
ute, nor absent more than thirty min
utes, and that on committee work, all
told during the entire session, and l
further voted upon every measure,
trivial or important, ! believe, during
the entire session. never lodged q
vote of any nature and never was
afraid to state my position in any
question.
More can be said in reply to the at
tack of the Tribune but believe this
is enough for the present. I will sug-
gest in concluding that l believe the
Tribune would better pull in its mud
batteries and use some good arguments,
if it has any, as the people of this
County are too intelligent to take
much stock in misrepresentation,
which are but poorly concealed.
Respectfully, G. B. GUNDERsoN.

MAKES WAX WOMEN STRONG.
SICK WOMEN WE'LL.
The Same Old Walls.

Believing that our most cherished
institutions are in great peril, that the
very existence of our constitutional
republic is at stake and that the de-
cision now to be rendered will deter
mine whether or not our children are
to enjoy those blessed privileges of
free government which have made the
United States great, prosperous and
honorable, we earnestly. ask for the
foregoing declaration OF principles the
hearty support of the liberty loving
American people regardless of previous
party affiliations"
So reads the closing paragraph of
the Democratic nationa. platform of
1900. 1t has familiar sound. Turn
back to the Democratic national plat
form of 1864, when Abraham Lincoln
was the Republican nominee for presi-
dent. and read this choice extract:
"Under the pretense Of a military
necessity of a war power higher than
the Constitution, the Constitution it.
self has been disregarded in every part,
and public liberty and private rights
alike trodden down and the material
prosperity of the country essentially
impaired"
Then take this awful wall from the
Democratic national platform of 1872,
when Ulysses S. Grant was the Repub-
lican nominee for president:
"The Republican party, instead OF
restoring the Union, has SO far as in
its power, dissolved it. < = Under
its repeated assaults the pillars of the
government are rocking on their base,
and should it succeed in November
next and lnaugurate its president we
will meet as a subjected and conquered
people amid the ruins of liberty and
the scattered fragments of the Consti-
tuition"
But if anyone wants a still closer
parallel to the closing declaration OF
Mr.. Bryan's platform, here it is. 1t is
from the speech of Clement L. Val
landingham at Sydney, O., September
"a, 1864:
Reflect but for moment on the
aggravated calamities of four years

of Abraham Lincoln. Choose you

SOME facts very disagreeable to the
Democrats are coming out these days.
Official records from the PHILIPPINES
show beyond question that the hope
of the insurrectionists, the hope of
Aguinaldo and his Tagals who are
shooting down American citizens, is
in the election of Bryan. All the
captured correspondence is in this
line. The records are a shameful
showing for the Democratic party.
That President Mckinley has been do
ing. all he can to establish good gov
ernment and secure peaceful solution
of the Philippine question, everybody
knows; that such result would have
been secured had it not been for the
encouragement given Aguinaldo by
the Democratic party and the men
shouting "lmperialism," there is no
doubt. There is nothing that Bryan
could do that the present administers
ton is not trying to do in the Phil
lipines. Even Bryan does not dare to
say he would turn the islands over to
Aguinaldo, and he knows that he.
could not do SO, If he would. Yet en-
couragement that Bryan and his fol-
lowers have given Aguinaldo has led
to the guerrilla warfare the Tagals
have been carrying on against the
United States.

Bryan a Poor Prophet.

! One of the strongest arguments that
can be put forth against the election
of Bryan to an office of national trust
is found in recapitulation of his false
prophecies, extending over a period OF
about four years. Ever since the
"crown of thorns" made Bryan believe
himself the democratic man of destiny
he has been scattering broadcast his
commercial and financial predictions,
not one which has been fulfilled.
In 1896 he predicted that the price
of wheat and the price of silver would
| rise and fall together, that they we're
commercially inseparable and causes
that affect the one must act similarly
on the other. At that time wheat
and silver were about equal, but the
words were scarcely cold ON his lips be-
fore wheat rose to dollar a bushel
and silver fell to AZ cents, he prophe-
sled that the gold standard would re-
duce money supply and that labor un-
der It's baleful influence would be
thrown out of employment, but we
have atpresent over two billion dollars,
the largest amount per capita in the
in the history of the country. Both
deposits and depositors in the savings
banks throughout the country have
increased and labor has never been so
steadily employed or so we'll paid.
His prophecy that under a gold
standard, business failures would
double, is best refuted by the figures.
In the four years preceding Mr.. Bryan's
hop, skip and Jump into national pro-
minence there were $4,000 failures, re-
presenting over $2OO,OOO,OOO of losses;
during the four years since, under the
Mckinley administration and the gold
standard, there have been but 5000
failures, involving losses less than $780,
IO00.0 900. Mr.. Bryan declared that
with gold as standard we would be
shut out from the markets of the
world, while statistics prove that in
the last three years our exports repre-
sent values greater than in any SINH
lar time during the existence of the
nation. During that time the balance
Of trade has increased in our favor
nearly 50, 900, 100000, and is increas-
ing daily at the rate of about $1,000,-
| 600.
Theses are only few of Mr.. Bryan's
prophecies. There are others. AS
soon as a national issue arises Bryan
bobs up with prophecy and as soon
as time proves that he knew nothing
about it, he gracefully drops it for an
other. His latest is the prediction
that the election OF Mckinley for an
other four years will marx the end of
republicanism and the commencement
of empire; an increase in concentrated
wealth and decrease in liberty.
Thinking men refuse to consider such
absurd statements but in spite of the
fact that the solid business men of the
country are leaving him, with scores
of unfulflled prophecies staring him
in the face, Mr. Bryan is undismayed
and goes on wildly prophesying new
calamities in the hope of sometime
tguessing right.-Tacoma News.

The Democrats have PRACTICAL

The Democrats have practically
abandoned all hope OF carrying any of
their ticket except the Governor, and
are making strenuous efforts to defeat
the Republican candidate, in order
that they may retain, for another four
years, the patronage at the disposal Of
the governors Office. This patronage,
Is IS well known, would be used in the
intereet Of the reelection OF Senator
George Turner.

"MR. BRYAN says the Republican

in the last four years has put more
