The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-05-11

Is one commemorate IIMng, however,
in the Ankeny people using the Bee,
they show that they are not preju-
diced to the black race, for the paper
continues to sail under the name of
d. W. Griffin. All men have some
redeeming features, and perhaps this
is Mr.. Ankeny's.
The friends of Harry Gordon will
learn with much regret that he has
resigned his position as head book
keeper at the Seattle Gas & Electric
Company, Of this city, and viii sail
for Cape Nome within the next few
days. Harry has been a staunch Re
publican and hard party worker in
King county for many years, and
during all of his political career he
has never at one time sLlked in his
tent because any nomination cid not
suit him. As a business man no bet
ter can be found, and he Justly merits
the splendid salary that has been Of
fered him to go north. II hope tc
be among the boys again." said he
one day this week, ''and l will, for
Seattle is my home. I do not know
how long will be gone. but I hope
tc earn cough dollars while | am gone
to, to some extent, repay me for what
| have lost [ have no complaints to
make of the past, but feel safe in say
ing that | think [ see much bright
er future for myself when [ do re-
turn, provided I keep my health. I
intend to stay by either this PROPOSE
ton or some other until / am out of
the woods. Am quite sorry to leave
the boys at this time, but self-preser-
walton is the first law of nature"
Mr.. Gordon has held various posi-
tons of honor and merit since he has
been in the Northwest, and so far as
| the Pie-maker has ever heard moth
ing but words of commentator has
been uttered by the public as to his
record while in those places, and this
very fact gave him the new position,
which is to pay him a round up-to-
date salary at Nome

The Hart-Godwin primary fight
was a fight right, in which quite a
good deal Of fighting was INDUCED.
The primaries were held last Tues
day evening, and so mixed up was it
that both sides are now claiming a
victory. There will be two contesting
delegations from the city, and if God
win has a majority of the country
delegates, as he now claims he has,
his delegation will be seated, and
thus give him the desired victory.
The Harris met more opposition than
they had anticipated, and even
| though Goodwin is turned down by
the convention tomorrow Saturday
he has demonstrated to the complete
satisfaction of the Harris that he is to
be considered in making up their po-
litical "cake walks" in the future
THE convention on the morrow
promises to be a warm baby, one Of
the warmest that has ever beer held
in this city The Goodwin people

Hamilton Lewis for second place on
the Bryan ticket, while the Hart peo-
pie have remained mute as mice on
that subject. If Mr.. Lewis gets any
thing like a complimentary vote for
vice president he will be pushed by q
certain wing Of the fusionists for gov
ernor of this state, hoping if success
full in that, to have him succeed
George Turner as United States SEN
ator This the Hartites bitterly OPP
pose, and rather than to see Lewis
succeed they prefer to see the Demo
cratic party defeated. There seems
to be no doubt but that the factiopal
fight in the Demo-Fusion party in
this county is in a hundred times
worse shape than the Republican
According to rumor George U. Piper
took an active part in the Democratic
primaries in the interest of Lee Hart
and will endeavor to pull the rib
