1.-THE election Of Tuesday shows that
whatever fears might have been enter
tanned regarding the soundness and per-
manency OF the conversion OF our voters
two years ago were not well founded.
Washington has chosen Republican presi-
Dental electors by a majority of nearly. II
not quite, 10000. Every candidate on the
state ticket is elected save the governor.
Two Republican congressman will safe
guard the interests of the state for two
years more Moreover, the election of
Republican legislature guarantees us safe
ty from the threatened perils of Populis-
tic legislation.
'But over and above all this Is the fact
that II has been demonstrated beyond
possibility Of question that the majority
Of the voters of this state are in SYM
pathy with the policy of the national adj
ministration. President McKinley's
course in dealing with the Philippine is
lands will benefit Washington more than
any state In the Union. This state will
therefore reap great advantages from the
continuation of the Republican national
administration. The Republican party will
continue to grow In influence and prestige
In this state because II stands for every
material interest we have. while Dernoc-
racy constitutes continual menace. For
these reasons. then. the Republicans OF
Washington. and. indeed, the whole peo-
pie of the state. are to be congratulated"

shares with Chairman Schiveiy his view
of the situation.
Eastern Washington is Republican on
national question" he said II believe
that we have seen the end of Populism In
this state. The Republican party has no
need to fear the Democratic party In any
fight Four years ago, when the Popu-
lists were in control in Eastern Washing
ton. there was always a danger from the
fusion of the anti Republican elements.
Fusion f. no more and Populism has faded
away. I believe we have gained more
voters from the old Peoples party than
the Democrats. The election has settled
this fact, in my opinion
