The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-09-28

If God Almighty has any sym
pathy with a political ticket, party
or anything else in which the editor
of the Seattle Daily Liar (Times) is
connected, then He is a very differ
ent being than most people have put
Him down as being.
"Let's not only ride on passes, but
let's even charge the state for even
riding on the passes, my dears; and,
lnasmuch as this will be the last time
we will ever get such an opportunity |
let's get everything in sight" but
Neal Cheetham had word to say,
and thereby hangs a tale.
Social Democracy is promised an
unexpected boom owing to the disin-
tegration Of Populism in this state.
Many of the Populist politicians not
being able to stomach John R. Rog-
ers and Bourbon Democracy will
support W. c. B. Randolph for gov
ernor rather than 90 to Frink, as
they should do.
We venture the assertion without
fear Of successful contradiction
that there is not a "colored country
school teacher in all the Southland
that could not have compiled a more
creditable geography than the one
the Washington school children are
now compelled to use, forced upon
them by the Rogers-Browne-Mere-
dith text book fungus.
Gomez is charged with being a po-
litical disturber in Cuban politics for
no other reason than because he is
supported by the colored voters of
that island. Mark our words, before
three years more the shotgun policy
and the disfranchiser will be work
ing in full force and effect in Cuba,
in order to prevent "nigger domin-
ancy," and that, too, in an island
where the Negro predominates.
"Rogers, Robertson. Ronald and
Records for political success in this
state" shouts the Seattle Daily Liar.
Yes; but who ever heard of rotten
ness, rebellion, riots and the record
the above three candidates bear ever
winning in political campaign,
where the shotguns did not play a
conspicuous part as in South and
North Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana, where Democracy such as
Robertson and Ronald represent,
relgns supreme?
Robertson and Ronald want to go
to congress to help their Southern
relatives make an effort to repeal the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments, and yet there are colored men
IN the state who promise to vote for
such would-be congressman. Poiti-
cally speaking, the devil himself
would not be worse being to vote
for than either of these men. To
elect that brace Of Democrats from
this state would be an insult to Lin
coin, Grant and freedom.
No other paper edited and oper-
ated by Negro is now published in
the state Of Washington but The Sc
attic Republican. It has lived for
seven years without losing an issue,
and it believes it can live another
seven. Persons who have subscribed
for The Seattle Republican have
gotten their moneys worth, ire
spective of the nationality of the
person so subscribing. It has been
consistent, honest and fair, opposing
those it opposed and supporting
those it supported, and herein lies
the secret of its success. Now, give
us your commercial support.
Tacoma's gas company has begun
to advertise the Welsbach lamp, and
they impress their customers with
the idea that it is a new invention.
That is just how far behind the times
the City of Destiny always is in every
respect. Perhaps they will some
time in the near future discover
that Tacoma is situated near the
base of Mount Rainier and on Pu-
get sound.
China is still attracting wide
spread comment throughout Chris
tendon, although Peking has fallen
weeks ago. The allied powers seem
determined to monkey about China
until a general European war will be
the result. There is no doubt but
that the most Of the nations now
chastising the Chinese government
for the murder and massacre of the
missionaries have an eye single to
large slice of Chinese territory as a
reward for those murders, and, if
they do not get it, something is going
to happen.
Washington state had one favored
son two years ago that must now be
contemplating going East to visit
with his folks, and it was none other
than Hon. G. l.. La Toilet, of Whit
man county, a member Of the last
state legislature, and all because his
brother, Hon. Robert NJ. La Toilet,
has been nominated for the cover
norship of Wisconsin by the Repub-
licans and stands a most excellent
show of being elected. In fact his
nomination is practically equal to
an election. However, "Our George"
has already tired Of the Evergreen
state and has gone to California with
a view of taking up his permanent
residence there.
