The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-12-06

Speaking about the federal appoint
ments, it will be noted up to the hour
of going to press that the president
has not yet named any one to fill any
of the federal positions in this state
though a number of them are LONG
overdue for being filed. Senator
Foster many weeks ago recommended
the appointment Of Charley Hopkins
for United States marshal, and he
likewise recommended the appoint
ment OF D. B. Croker for collector OF
customs at Port Townsend, but
neither of these appointments has as
yet been made, and political rumor
has it that ex-senator Wilson has
been able to hold up both of these ap-
pointments and that he will be sue
cessful in yet having the president to
name his friend, Clarence Ide, to sue
coed himself as United States mar
shall and to make compromise Sc
lection for the collector of customs at
Port Townsend. If the ex-senator is
successful in doing this it will demon
strate the fact that he is stronger in
the East than Senator Foster. though
the latter is United States senator
form this state, and that, too. despite
the fact that Mark Hanna's fine
italian hand is no longer at work at
the White House
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-12-06

Speaking about the dividing of this
state into congressional districts re-
minds the Pie-maker that a prominent
politician said one day this week:
Il doubt very much whether Governor
Rogers will call an extra session of
the legislature for either that pur-
pose or anything similar, because he
has not fully decided in his mind as
yet which would be the most advan-
tageOus to the Democratic party,
to have no representative in the
Fifty-eighth congress or to be salts
fed with one. If the state is not
districted and the Democrats lose the
election they will contest the whole
delegation before the house, and if
they lose there they will take it to
the supreme court and there throw
AL of them out If the state is dis
tricted, owing to the differences be-
tween the two Republican factions of
the state it will be impossible to dis
trict it so as to gerrymander the. state
to prevent the Democrats from at
least electing one congressman out
of the three. The state of Washing
ton is divided into three natural dis
tricts, and it will be impossible for
any party to successfully divide it
only on natural lines, however anx-
ious it may be to do so. Western
Washington should compose two of
these districts, and the dividing line
should be between Pierce and King
counties. Pierce county and the
southwest should make up one dis
trict, and King and the northwest
another district, and Eastern Wash
ington a third district. If the state
were thus divided it would be on nat
ural lines, and future complications
that would be inevitable from a gerry
mander standpoint would be avoided.
There is no denying the fact at pres
ent that Eastern Washington is large
ly Democratic, and it is growing
worse every day" The Pie-maker has
been Informed that Eastern Wash
ington is being settled up very largely
at present with Democrats from Mis-
souri,, who are Democrats under all
circumstances, even to the extent of
voting for a yellow dog if he is
Democratic dog; and secondly. East
ern Washington has never thoroughly
recovered from it's Bryan escapade in
1895, and if it is made one congress
sional district the Republicans may
nominate the most popular man in
their party and yet he would be over
whelmingly defeated at the polls; but
the state must be districted. and dis
tricted so as to produce the best re-
suits from a public standpoint. and
despite the fact that one of the dis
tricts promises to be Democratic, the
Pie-maker believes it better to dis
trict it on natural lines, though one
district be Democratic, than to dis
tTict it on the gerrymander line and
cause sectional disputes and bicker-
ings for all time to come.

I If the Pie-maker be correctly in
formed, unless some kind of an agree
ment is brought about between the
Wilson and Ankeny factions in East
ern Washington the next legislature
is liable to be Democratic, and that
prince of political turncoats, Senator
George Turner, will again be returned
to the United States senate from this
state, which, to say the least, would
be the worst calamity that has be-
fallen the state in all of it's history,
and that is saying a good deal. Ac-
cording to reports recently received
from Eastern Washington by this
paper, the Wilson and Ankeny men
are lined up against each other with
a bitterness and determination that
means neither of the factions will win
at the polls, regardless of the decision
OF the various legislative conven-
lions. Whichever faction wins in the
convention, the other faction prom
iseS to knife the nominee, and thereby
make it easy for the Democrats to
win at the polls. The friends of Sen
ator Frink are still chafing over his
defeat, and they propose to return it
in kind at the first opportunity. The
Ankeny men are determined that
their lord and master, politically
speaking, shall win at the coming
senatorial contest, and they propose
to use every means, cunning and craft

Now that congress is in session, the
politics of this state have taken a
new lease of life, and though there
are no approaching elections near at
hand, there are a number of federal
positions to be PEELED out, and local
politics is cutting quite a swath as to
who will fill them. The following
from the Spokane Outburst will be
read with much interest by the poll
ticians of this state, who are watch
ing the way the cat hops:
The Spokane postmastership has
simmered down to two applicants, the
incumbent, Mr.. Temple, and M. T..
Harrison. Both gentlemen are well
and favorably known in the city;
each has a large following, and no
man can question the personal worth
of either. Mr.. Harrison, however has
secured the Endorsement of Represen-
tative w. L. Jones, who has recon-
mended him for appointment. This
act has created CONSERVATION in the
Temple camp, and ways and means
are being devised to the end of influ-
encing the president to make Mr..
Temples sit good for another four
years. In setting up his claim for
continuance in Office, Mr. Temple has
been unfortunate enough to secure in
dorsement from the Spokesman-Re-
view faction of the Republican party
and claim has been set up that Hart
son is a Wilson candidate, conse-
quently entitled to little considera-
tion Be these assertions true or not.
the fact remains that in recommend
ing Mr. Harrison, Representative
Jones has named man whose ability
and competency to conduct the office
in thoroughly business-like and sat
isfactory manner is unquestioned, and
in event of his confirmation to the
position, of which fact there can be
little doubt, the public generally will
be well pleased"

that Turner's Democratic constituency

b GEORGE BlNGEAM-
Copyright 1901 by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Not far from Cadiz, on the crooked
old Kentucky pike, an OK wagon COW
cred with dingy sheet overlook me.
A tall man, who looked lazy, sat on a
broken chair in front and drove, while
back under the cover five tow-heads
were stuck out to watch the slowly
changing scenery.
Under the shackly, rafting vehicle
walked a lazy old brindle dog-he
the axle with a rope. A scrub mich
COW was tied to the back end of the
wagon; the skillets and pans. fasten-
ed to the sides of the wagon-bed, rat
tied and bumped; and buckets and
pots swung from the axles beneath, as
the wagon slowly passed along the
pike.
l dropped from the splotch of shade
on rail fence corner where l had sat
for some time, and spoke to the man.
Good morning." he answered. "If
you are going our way, hop up and
ride He reached back, got a handy
bucket, turned it over, and / sat down
beside him.
When / told him my name he said
he knew a person in Arkansas by the
name of Andy Cobb, but that he was
a negro. Then he laughed. He asked
me which way 1 was going, and when
I told him 1 was not particular which
way, he said to me: I've been Twin
in Arkansaw for a good while and am
on my way to South Carolina to visit
my wife's folks
Noticing the gait OF his team. 1
asked him how long he had been en-
route, and in an easy manner he re-
piled: ''Oh, little the rise of nine
weeks"
when do you expect to get there?"
KANT tell. Amt no morn hat
way yet. Who-a-a boys! Sally you
and the brats hold tight back there.
for here's another creek. You know
whut fools these cattle are about
water" Then he addressed me. Ever
creek we come to they break in a run
for it
The steers struck a brisk pace and
when to the bank made a lunge which
nearly upset the wagon. After riding
ar hour with HMM which time We
travelled abou. three miles-I wished
them good luck and took the other
fork of the road
True, / was not very particular
which way l went, for 1 had nothing
to do. Two months previous l had
heard the little town of Snortsville
wanted a newspaper. and that being
the favorite one of my several voca-
tions. 1 went to the Place and put
