munity onto higher plains of material
prosperity, and moral well-being, are re-
publicans, but because they would not
suffer themselves to be defiled by the
political embraces of Doc Hare, of
genius abhorent to them, nor of
Englehart, plastered from head to foot
with the badges of political promises
broken and official trusts betrayed, and
stepped to his very lips in the slime of
political chicanery, these law-abiding,
able, and upright citizens, the shining
! lights of the republican party were in
the republican caucuses and county con-
their high places. floating irresponsibles
and bartenders, and above all, con-
fessed breaker of public promises and
public trusts set up to illumine the
councils of the republican party. What
a calamitous fall was that From the
sterling pioneers of civilization in Iaki-
ma county to Beilstein, witty, rollicking
Doc Hare and 'Afrald-of-His-R Record"
Englehart! But this fall was not only
calamity TO republicans, but also to
democrats and all good citizens. 1t was
a public calamity and should he de-
plored by democrats and republicans
alike. If blinded by partisanship the
people elect the ticket, not of the repub-
lican party, but of the North Yakima
republican ring, the men who compose
the ring, Englehart, Hare and their
satellites, will construe their victory at
the polls as public vindication of them
selves and public condemnation of the
earnest, conscientious republicans whom
the ring ignored, repudiated and humil-
lated. If elected Englehart and Hare
will surely use the prestige of their tri-
umph and the power and patronage of
their offices to perpetuate their political
power and to lift themselves into higher
Offices by the same methods they used
ton, by subordinating still lower the
respectable, law-abiding element of the
republican party and by elevating still
higher the irresponsible back-door and
down-cellar gang in the manipulation of
whom they find congenial exercise of
their talents.
Do the people of Yakima county want
to see this gang of irresponsibles two
years hence elevate Mr.. Guthrie from
the low level OF political rounder to
the judicial bench of this district, and
Doc Hare from the stool of town lester
to seat in the state senate, and Engle-
hart from the secret service of the rail-
way companies in the legislature to a
4 like service in the United States con-
gress? II these wretched consumma-
tions are desired by the people then let
them pave the way thereto by voting
/ this trinity of ringsters a vindication
and triumph at the polls. 1t is not the
party duty of any republican to vote for
these men. They are not the nominees
OF the republican party. That conven-
ton did not represent the republicans
OF this county; did not represent the
character and conscience and good citi-
zenship of the republican party in this
county. That convention was, by the
chicanery Of these men, perverted from
its legitimate purposes into mere tool
in their hands for their own selfish use.
For the defense and preservation of the
honor and public interests of this coun-
ty, let the sterling, sober, worthy, re-
sponsible men of character in the re-
