Too Many Voters For Ballots Issued,

Chicago, Nov. s. - Daniel d. Healy,
Republican candidate for sheriff at
the recent election. claims that he has
been elected sheriff. and that the
count. which showed the election of
Thomas e. Barrett, Democrat, by
nearly 1000 plurality. is false. It is
claimed that the total vote for sheriff
was 10000 more than the ballots is
sued in the county for the election.
According to a report from the board
OF election commissioners between
2S4, 900 and 2S5.OO0 ballots were issued
at the polls. Figures give the total on
the vote for sheriff at 294,24S. Where
the difference comes in has given rise
to the cry of fraud in the interest OF
some candidate for sheriff on the
ticket.

HOLIDAY SILVER
WILL Be SCARCE
Strike sof Smiths Likely to
Have an Effect on Christ
mas Gifts

Wilmingtonians desirous of making
silver holiday presents this year may
have to send to Europe for them. If
the general strike of silversmiths for a
nine hour workday is not ended in two
weeks tbe Manufacturers may closether
factories fof the season.
In speaking Of the situation a promi-
1ont manufacturer said:
1T is not true THAT the shversmiths
are earning sl2 and Si4 a week. In cur
factory they earned sl4. s15 and SIC
week and more. Orders must be fin
ished by December /, as a rule, and II
the strikers do not return TO work in
two weeks it viii not matter if they do
not return to work, as the factories
might as well shut down until Feb
ruary I think it likely they will shut
down.
The manufacturers cannot grant the
nine hour demand. lt really means an
increase of pay and the trade could not
stand 1t in its present condition.
The men affected by the strike are
skilled workmen,' said another manu-
facturer yesterday. THE strikers in
ciude mounters. chasers and hammer
men. and are the best workman in the
country. They have been earning IRON
Si4 10 S24 a week, and Il requires three
years experience for them to acquire
proficiency in their business
At a meeting of the strikers II wa
reported that the pretty girls on strik'

Political Pot Pie

+ ~ r. s'E.E.F
Last Saturday and Sunday Seattle's
Press Club, which is composed Of
number of good fellows, entertained
the Utah Press Association, and they
did so as only Seattle's citizens can
do. The gang was shown the sights
of the Sound and City, and they were
also shown a hospitality by the citi-
zens such as they have not and will
not receive at any other point while
they are away from home. The whole
was wound up Sunday evening with
dinner worthy of the gods, at which
toasts from the Seattle boys were re-
sponded to by the Utah gang which
made the welcome ring. The Utah
gang was f1fty-four strong, and quite
a number of the ladies of the Seattle
Press Club were also present at the
dinner, and a very enjoyable evening
was the result of the entertainment
The Utah folk left for Victoria Monday
and returned through Seattle Wednes-
day headed for San Francisco.
The first big gold shiment from Daw-
son City put in it's appearance in
Seattle last Monday, the Dolphin ar
irving with half million dollars
worth of gold dust aboard. The arri-
val of the Dolphin with that amount of
gold dust from Dawson City caused
no unusual commotion whatever in the
affairs of the city on that day, whereas
had the same amount of gold dust
come from Alaska, or any other place

That lone colOred student has come
TO the front again, and not so far from
nome as were others who have been
mentioned in these columns in similar
strains. The lone colOred student now
under consideration is Hayden Rich
ardson of this city, who this year grad
yates from the High School, and who
last Tuesday night, in an oratorical
contest with seven of his fellow stu
dents, won first prize. Young Rich
ardson took for his subject a speech
recently delivered by Booker T. Wash
ington at Harvard University, and
from an oratOrical standpoint seems
TO have treated it equally as we'll as
did the originator. While at school in
Franklin, this county, and since he
has been attending the High School
of this city, he has proved to be a very
bright boy, and stood par excellence
in his studies, but in this contest he
surprised even his most ardent ad-
mirers, and in doing so has been re-
ceiving the congratulations of every
one who have bee nso fortunate as to
meet him since that time. Young Rich
ardson's parents have struggled hard
to keep him in school, and it seems
that they will be amply rewarded for
their struggles. Now if he will make
up his mind to go through the State
University, and do equally as we'll as
he has done in high school he will
make his mark in this world as one Of
the educators of the United States
The Seattle Republican., 1902-06-20

Whose candidacy has already been mentioned in
these columns, has been given much encourage
ment by his fellow Republicans for the nomination
of county coroner that he again appears before the
readers of The Seattle Republican for the purpose
OF saying to them that he will receive warm and
hearty support in every precinct in King County and
that he feels absolutely certain of being nominated
at the Republican county convention next Friday.
Dr. Carroll has grown up from bOyhood to manhood
and maturity in this community. He is the of a
veteran of the great Civil War; and is we'll qualified
to fill the position he seeks because of the fact that
he served two terms as deputy coroner under Dr.
George M. Horton, and has been city health officer
for the past four years. There are few in this
community more popular and generally liked
than DR.. Carroll, and The Seattle Republican pre-
diets that if he is nominated he will his Office
as Republican Office and not a mixture of Demo
Gratis and Populsts with sprinkling of foreigners
who are not even naturalized American citizens Dr.
Carroll believes in the prevailing of Republican prin
cples, and he believes that when a Republican is
elected there sutncient number of fellow Repub
cans to fill the minor positions under him instead of
employing Democrats and Popuists. Whatever party
elects man to an Office that party should be obli-
gated TO it, and from that party he should select his
deputies and helpers. AS has already been said if
Dr. Carroll is elected this he will do and this should
be strong incentive with the various Republicans
of this county to nominate him Friday and the
Seattle Republican fully believes that they will do
The Seattle Republican., 1902-06-20

more than has been previously done:
make report, and said report be
pigeon-holed for all time to come, but
a victory has been won by the Negroes
in even getting a. committee appointed
to investigate the condition of the col
ored people of the South. If the in
vestigating committee does not either
recommend that every election that
has been held in the South was an
illegal one and that the Southern
states are not entitled to more than
half as many congressman as they
now have, and that the colored man
is being deprived of his rights of citi-
zenship by force and violence, then it
will be blind to the facts that will be
presented to it. However, the colored
folk of the South may expect a gen
uine white-washing from the investi-
eating committee which is now look
ing into the whole matter.

William Struthers, the st. Louis
Negro, who killed A. Dean, the mil
lionaire, while he was asleep in a
Turkish bathhouse where Struthers
was employed, by common consent was
permitted to plead guilty to murder in
the second degree, and was sentenced
to fifteen years in the penitentiary
with the promise on the part of the
authorities that he would be pardoned
in few months. 1t will be remem-
bered that Struthers, the Negro in
question, was the man that gave the
st. Louis authorities the tip that all
was not right with the aldermen of
that city. This started a public in
vestigatiOn, which ended in a score or
more of the leading public men of st.
Louis being indicted, arrested, and put
on trial for misdemeanors while in
office. Further still, Struthers began
systematic expose of those who had
visited the bath-house, and who gam
bled and lead life of shame while in
office. This involved so many Of the
leading men and women of st. Louis
that he was prevailed upon by them
to keep still, under the promise that
he would receive light sentence, sub
sequently be pardoned, and finally he
and his wife be cared for by them the
rest of their natural lives. Already
Struthers' wife is being amply pro-
vided for by the women who would
have been exposed by Struthers had
he continued the course he had
mapped out to one Of the reporters of
a leading st. Louis paper.

four or five years ago, one-half of the
city would have turned out to welcome
it and its owners to the city. The
fact of the matter is so much gold has
been shipped to Seattle during the
last few years that it has become quite
a common occurance and nobody pays
any attention to it. Since the first
gold came down from Alaska, it has
been nothing uncommon to see a wa
gon to which four horses were at
tached drawing load Of gold to the
assay Office, hence so small a shipment
as half a million dollars caused no
commotion whatever.
Paul Underwood and his wife, Mel
lie, are both now in the county Jail,
awaiting trial for the murder OF their
infant daughter some days ago. If
Underwood and his wife murdered that
child, as they have been accused, they
certainly committed an awful crime,
but The Republican is of the
opinion that there are very few
true men and women who do
not entertain just grain Of
sympathy for that father and moth
er on account OF their trying to cover
up disgrace which would perhaps
have followed them and their child
throughout their lives. To accomplish
their purpose they took an awfully
awkward and criminal method Of do
ing so, and that was the unfortunate
circumstance of the whole affair. I'm
derwood and his wife are perhaps no
more criminal at heart than
hundreds and thousands of 9TH
ers in Seattle at present who
are shining lights in the social
world. There are physicians In Seat
tie who are thousand times more de-

asking too much of King County to
stand for the passage of a commission
bill that will be commercially killing
to Seattle. If the business men Of
Seattle who are supporting Mr.. Pres
ton nave not already seen this it is
time that they were waking up to the
situation and give Mr. Preston to un-
derstand that he must make a fight for
the United States senator, and leave
the railroad commission bill severaTly
alone, or they Will leave his senatorial
candidacy severally alone.
The hottest fight in the coming coun-
ty convention will be over the nomina-
tion for county coroner, for which nom
ination DR.. F. M. Carroll and DR.. c. E.
Hoye will cross political swords. The
Pie-naker is of the opinion that DR..
DR.. F. M Carroll will win out in this
fight. He believes that DR.. Carroll
will do so because he has the backing
of the very best men in the county,
and because it is generally believed
that he will be just and fair, if he
should be elected to this position.
AS has been previously said in these
columns, Hon. John WOOding is can
didate for sheriff for this county, sub.
ject to the Endorsement of the Repub-
lican county convention, which will
be held next Friday. No man is more
generally known than Mr.. Wooding
and judging from the past he is as
popular as he is we'll known, which
will stand him well in hand in the
coming campaign. Mr.. Wooding un.
der ordinary circumstances would have
been nominated for sheriff two years
ago had it not been for a tidal wave
which swept the country and gave Sen
ator Frink the delegation for governor
That he will be nominated next Friday
is foregone conclusion, and that he
will be elected in November is equally
certain, owing to his exceeding pOpu-
larity throughout the entire county,
He was three times elected county
commissioner, serving in all six years,
and twice elected to the state senate.
Mr.. Wooding is farmer by profession.
and is now in his forty-fourth year.
1t is conceded by all who know of the
facts that Wooding will have every
delegation from the county working
for his nomination, and will also have
strong following in the city, which
will practically give him the nomina.
tion without opposition.

Bishop Turner's immigration con-
vention, Of which he and his friends
have said so much about, met at Chat

principle thing that it did was to pass
resolution praying Congress to ap-
propriate $500,0OO,0OO to enable the
Afro-Americans, who desire to leave
the United States, to do so. Congress
will not appropriate that amount Of
money nor any amount of money for

ty wanting congressional nominee.
This they are no longer publcally
fighting because they have read the
handwriting on the wall, and they are
rapidly climbing into the band wagon.
They perhaps do not favor Mr.. Humph-
rey any more than they did some of
the other aspirants, but believing that
he, Humphrey, held the key to the
situation, they will not dare to oppose
his nomination on the floor of the
county convention, and The Seattle
Republican, owing to this happy solu-
tion Of affairs, takes pleasure in pre-
senting-to the citizens of King County
Mr.. Will E. Humphrey, who will be
one Of the three members of Congress
elected from this state next November.

serving of being behind the bars than
Underwood and his wife. There are
men and women in Seattle who stand
high in society, leaders in business
affairs, and yet they are thousand,
yea, ten thousand, times more criminal
on the very same charge, than Under
wood and his wife. Physicians Of high
medical standing are to be found in
this city, who are accommodating vast
fortunes for committing murder of the
very same kind and nature as that
cAdrged against Mr.. and Mrs. Under
wood. This unfortunate young couple
got caught; those medical scoundrels
and murderers don't get caught, and
that is why Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood
are now occupying felon's cell, while
those murderers are still fitting about
in society eagerly searching for more
victims. The young husband and wife,
who would not try to cover up like
disgrace are not human, and all things
being considered, granting that Mr..
and Mrs. Underwood did murder their
child, they are to be pitied rather than
too severely punished.
The Post-Intelligencer announces its
intention of having a new home built
for itself, and, strange to say, its new
home will be erected in that section of
the city on First Avenue, between Uni
versity and Pike. There is nothing
unusual about this, save and except
that it is very apparent at this time
that the city is rapidly building north.
OF course it is almost impossible for
it to build south, owing to the condi-
tions that prevail in the southern part
of the city, and therefore there is moth
ing else for it to do but to build north,
If it builds at all. It is impossible to
