Sheriff Van De Vanter enjoyed
himself at the state convention and
he enjoyed the speeches that were
made by the various speakers. He
seems to have been in happy mood
on that occasion, and managed to see
the funny side Of all Of the stories
told by the speakers.
One of the coolest and most self
composed men at the state conven-
ton was the Hon. J nj. Frink. He
enjoyed the good jokes, shook hands
and chatted pleasantly with old
friends, and, best Of ali, was always
ready for peace among the brethren.

Senator Cash Dollar of Washington,

out his paw for shake, and, to his
surprise, got most cordial greeting.

Pointed Paragraphs.

There is an interesting subsistence
Of the hue and cry from Democratic
sources about 'militarism." The
phenomenon has been coincidental
with Bryan's long silence about
China, and final confession that the
administration was doing the right
thing there. II ''militarism'' right
IN China, as Mr.. Bryan admits, why
is it wrong in the Philippines?
Troops in China may avenge crimes
that have been committed, but can
never restore the lives of people that
have already ben massacred. In the
Philippines the use of American
troops has prevented the perpetra-
ton Of such horrors as in China have
shocked the whole world, including
even Mr.. Bryan. Manila was pre-
vented from becoming a charnel
house only through the vigilance Of
American troops who were on guard
duty the night that Aguinaldo had
set for the general massacre of all
Americans and Europeans in that
city. How about the old adage that
"An ounce Of prevention is worth
one pound Of cure?"
All the historic precedents favor
the reelection Of President McKin-
ley, for no president has ever run for
a second term with a united party
behind him, who was not reelected.
The presidents who have held two
terms were: Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, jackson, Lincoln
and Grant. These were reelected
either by the whole people, as in the
case of Washington and Monroe, or
by an undivided party vote. The
presidents W ho were defeated for a
second term were: John Adams,
John Quincy Adams, Martin Van
Buren, Grover Cleveland and Benia-
min Harrison, and in each case their
defeat was due to dissensions in their
own party, and they were not loyalty
supported. The most recent in
stances, Harrison and Cleveland, are

ated and defended by the United States;
for the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people; for the

upbuilding of our merchant marine: for

ton of good and permanent wagon roads

In concluding this address to the voters
of the state of Washington, we invite
their aid and cooperation upon the prin-
cipleS and purposes herein enunciated,
without regard to past political affilia-
tions, in the firm belief that the best con-
duct of our public affairs will be assured
by the triumphant election of the entire
ticket nominated by this convention.
That feature of the days proceed
ings having been disposed of, the
nominations were taken up at once,
and, while some heavy speechmaking
began, it was soon plain to be seen
that the convention was in no mood
to listen to more speechmaking, and
the ''acclamation" business was at
once wheeled into the proceedings,
and candidates were nominated IN
about ten seconds. No break in the
progrom that had been mapped out
by the various steering committees
the evening before came until the
superintendency of public schools
was reached, when one L. A. Moss
arose in the King county delegation
and protested and demanded that the
delegation be polled, which after a
short but spirited contest was per-
mltted and eight of the delegates
voted for Prof. Layhue instead of
Bryan, the caucus nominee. Three
candidates were named for this place,
but Bryan won out over all by a
handsome majority. The central
committeeman from the various
counties were then called for and
their names sent to the chairman's
desk at once.

The African Methodist Episcopal
Puget Sound conference convened
IN this city last Wednesday with
Bishop q. L. Shaffer presiding. Bis
hop Shatfer is one of the newly elect
ed bishops of the A. M. E. church
and has been assigned to the North
west. For some time the bishop who
presided over the California confer
ence also presided over the Puget
Sound conference, but that was
changed by the late general confer
ence and now Bishop Shaffer covers
the Northwest and back eastward
along the northern part of the coun-
try, not reaching California at all.
No religious organization among col
ored folk in the West is succeeding
as well as the African Methodist
Episcopal church. In every city Of
any prominence throughout the en-
tire West it has church organiza-
tlon, and it has well organized con-
ference either in all Of the Western
states or IN number of them COM
blned. In the state of Washington
1t has extensive church property, and
its ministers are to be found where
ever there are any number Of colored
folk, and in most instances it owns
It's own church edifces at all of those
places. Bishop Shaffer is said to be
one Of the most learned men that is
now IN the A. M. B. bishopric, and
was elected to the high position
which he is now filling prely from
meritorious standpoint, and by no
means through trades or favoritism,
as is so often the case in general con-
ferences.
The pastors present at the confer
ence now in session are: Rev. G.. c..
Halford, Seattle; Rev. G.. A. Bailey,
Roslyn; Rev. S. j. Collins, Spokane;
Rev. N. ID. Hartsfeld, Tacoma, and
Rev. B. +. Seabrook, Portland. Rev.
4. A. Bailey was elected recording
secretary, Rev. Seabrook, state secre-
tary, and Rev. Hartsfeld, financial
secretary. Rev. Bryce Taylor, who is
a local preacher, was selected mar
shall.
Rev. Seabrook preached the an
nual sermon and the Grace Prob
lem IN This Country was the theme
of his discourse. Rev. Halford
preached the annual missionary SER
mon Thursday evening. The con-
ference has mapped out considerable
work to accomplish ere it adjourns
next Monday. The good folk of the
Jones street church are doing all in
their power to make the visiting pas
tors comfortable during their stay in
the city.

Sessions Every Day.

Leaving my eating house and

mg OF The Tacoma Republican con-
yentlon, L was amused to pass a
young man with a flushed face and
a smile Of silly congratulation spread
over his phlz solemnly steering him
SELF along the sidewalk. Following
nm came another red-faced fellow,
with an expression OF self-cOngratu-
latory vanlUy spread over his coun-
lenance. Soon a third person was
met, who propelled himself along in
d state OF subdued pleasure, with d
smoothered sort Of laugh pulling the
corners OF his mouth up toward his
ears. The thrd persons face was OF
d ruddy glow. After him came a
lOurth, with his teeth showing in the
mldst OF broad grin, as he glanced
toward the pavement, seeming salts
ned that he had accomplished

TO be labOrlng under an unnatural
nalIucnatIon and his cheeks were

nIth, standing with half-dazed,
IOollsh-lOOklng CONSERVATION beam
ing from his pnyslognOmy, gazing in
nOnchalant manner from a saloon
entrance. The fifth youths mus
tache was surrounded with a sunset
TINT cleaning from his fair skin.
Inc presumption Is that each one Of
the i've ina semi-maudlin haziness,
was gong each to his own dinner
with the separate distinction of hav-
ing gotten the other fellows Jagged,
and 1t was d tickling kind of seIt-con-
ceit.
A bright luminary Of the King
county constellation Of politicians
who carries the fate Of many an as
plrlng ofhceseeker in his mind. was
seen coming home alone from the
Tacoma convention. In his little
grip he carried a few fumes of ex-
hlllration. His eye was alert and his
step strong and nerVy. His little hat
hid an uncroWned brow. 1t wasn't
his kind Of a convention, but he went
just the same to ''see the fun"
When asked how it suited him, he re-
piled; ''Frink got the convention
and Mckinley the state, but we got

spent barrel ID state politics.
Pierce county's delegation played
schooIboy poiItlcs, and came very
near getting a good man, Cushman,
smashed to pieces. Grosscup, Ham
llton and Marburton made monkeys
of themselves, and came very near
making the same of all of Tacoma.
Let it be distinctly understood
understood that Hon. W. L. Jones
was no party to the move to make
nm governor Of this state. 1t en-
mated from Grosscup, Hamilton,
Marburton, and the Ankeny push in
general, with the view of defeating
rank w. Cushman. Mr.. Jones had
no choice, and he would be no party
to any political treachery.

might y man IN the state convention
two years ago, was but common

convention, and he proved to be

themselves. IS. e. Cosgrove.
This country has witnessed two
very critical periods in its history.
The first was from 1861 to 1865,
when it was passing through the
great civil war crisis. The next was
from 1892 to 1896, when the Demo-
cratic administration crisis was pass
ing through it. ''-F. w. Cushman.
I'VE approve of the course of Sen
|ator Foster in congress" did not elicit
very much enthusiasm from the con-
vention, but the committee realized
that such a formality resolution
ought to be put through and the con-
vention was too manly to make a
public kick. Mighty few people in
the state Of Washington but who
think Foster a complete failure.
Mr.. Reynolds, Of Tacoma, did not
kill his candidate in presenting his
name to the convention, but the only
reason that he did not was because
his candidate was a good deal strong
er than the entire Pierce county dele
cation.
Kitttitas county was not to be out
done by King, and it, too, had a
splendid ''black prince" in its dele
cation, in the person Of j. f. Shep-
person.
1t was amusing to see Pierce coun-
ty try to crawl into the band wagon
after 1t found out that it was 'sall
alone" The attempt of the Tacoma
delegation to throw Cushman over
by nominating Jones for governor
and placing the congressman in Sc
attic was burning shame. Foster,
Grosscup & Go. should hang their
heads in political abashment.
Two years ago Washington state
had lily white Republican conven-
ton. A roar was made, and two
years afterward Spokane, Kittitas
and King counties all had Negroes
on their delegations.
Now that we have named one OF
the strongest tickets the Republicans
have ever before named in this state
let's elect it by the largest majority
