One of the strangest things of
the recent election is the falling off
of tho Republican vote of Potosi
o. ecinct. The party's vote two
years ago was 19s and this year it
was only 159, n decline of 80. On
the other hand the Democrats cast
this year 2O6 votes, or one more
than they did two years ago. To
say the rain kept the Republicans
away from the polls to that extent
is hardly reasonable, neither is it
likely that forty voters, all Repub
,icans have moved away in the last
two years. 1t would be interesting
to know just what it cost the Demo
Gratis to keep these forty Republi-
can voters from casting their bal
lots. We believe they were in
town on election day.

A Surplus of Wealth.

"An embarrassment of riches
is a phrase not often realized in
actual business life, yet it describes
the condition of the United States
today.
The railroads are unable to han
die the traffic of the country. The
manufacturer Of locomotives and
cars are unable to fill the orders OF
the railroads, although working
to full capacity day and night.
1t is remarkable situation. The
equipments of the railroads are
said to be 1000 cars short of theil
needs.
The manufacturing and trans.
portation interests were wholly TN
prepared for the tremedous crops
of the year and the resultant flood
of prosperity. Production and
commercial activities have out
stripped tho transportation facili-
ties.
The situation is unfortunate. II
is pity to lose opportunities tf

trv. But ii has consoling features

twice in succession, but each time it's

Withstanding that the Argus as we'll as

it seems that after all this the Argus
would be good and in future support
Republicanism, which always gives the
country prosperity. This country has
has had but one Democratic president
since the war of the rebellion, and
it was during his administration that
soup houses f1Ourished like green bey-
trees, but under Republicanism, as has
already been said, the country has al
ways been prosperous, and if the editor
of the Argus wishes to show his good
sense, as well as true patriotism, he
will in the future advocate the election
of Republican presidents.

Hear We! Hear We!

Hear We! Hear We!
The Seattle Republican has taken a
strong hand in opposition to the cleo
ton of an "anti-railroad man" as Unit
ed States senator to succeed George
Turner. The Republican sets up the
claim that Seattle and King county
can be best served in congress by the
selection of a senator who is friendly
to the railroad interests. 1t is quite
evident from the announced position
that The Republican has taken-that
it is one of the papers of the state
which may be depended on in the com
ing campaign to do the bidding of the
corporate interests. The Bee-Nugget
believes that the railroads should be
treated fairly at all times in the mat
ter of legislation and otherwise; but
we also believe that the selection of
a United States senator who will not
be under the thumb of the Great
Northern or Northern Pacific compa-
MES will be best for the interests of
the entire state. Governor Mcbride
is right in the stand he has taken in
this matter, and the people will be
found to be with him when the time
comes.-Chehalis Bee-Nugget.
This paper is the tool of no man,
company or syndicate, but it is the
plant tool of Seattle and her CONNER
cial interests, and if in serving Seattle
railroad companies are aided, then aid
ing railroads is the watchword in its
bailiwick.

An Organ of All.

The Seattle Republican wishes to
serve notice on the WalIa Walla
Statesman and all papers of it's ilk
that it draws no color line, for it knows
the white man cOnnot help it if he is
white and when he behaves himself he
is just as good as black
man. The Republican is as much
the organ of one man as an
other; as much the organ of one race
as another. 1t, however, is distinctly
the organ of the Republican party and
likewise the organ of those Republi-
cans who support a ticket when it is
nominated, whether such ticket is &C
ceptable to them or not The Repub-
lican, however, makes no denial of the
fact that it champions the cause of
the colored folk Of not only this state,
but of the Northwest, and while it
may be alone in such, it considers this
a duty, and The Republican never
shrinks from duty. If the Union
has copied from The Seattle Repub-
lcan concerning the political situation
in King county it has acted wisely and
can bank on what it has copied.
