FREDSON 1 , Manager State Republican Platform. Four years ago, the Republicans of Washington met to mourn over uni versal calamity and despair under democratic rule. Today we meet to rejoice over universal prosperity and happiness under "Republican rule. Democratic theories became danger* ous when coupled with political pow er; and they are not improved by a mongrel mixture of free silver and populistic vagaries. They can be ren dered harmless only.by maintaining Republican rule in the nation, state, and county; and to such maintenance we pledge our strongest effort. We are proud of President McKin ley and indorse his able, fearless and patriotic administration. We rejoice that he is again our standard bearer and will continue to be the bonered chief of a prosperous and happy peo ple. He has fully redeemed the ante election pledges of his party. Under his leadership protection and reciproc ity have again been restored to their proper place in a public law; the Ha waiian Islands have become part of the Uniop; Spain has been compelled to lift her heavy hand from off the Western hemisphere; Cuba has been made free; Puerto Rico is happy un der pur flag; the Philippines are rap idly learning to appreciate and accept that kind of liberty which is known and understood only by the American people; our army and navy have been ably sustained; the honor of our flag has been sustained at home and abroad; the Democratic heresy uf free silver has been put to sleep by a Re publican congress, and the gold stan dard has been reaffirmed in the most positive and satisfactory manner; our country has been made better than ever before, and better 4han that of any other nation on earth; the sun of prosperity has driven away the clouds of despair and the civilized world ac knowledges and applauds the glory and honor which have crowned the nation. This record ought to be sat isfactory to every patriotic American. We congratulate the country upon the nomination ot Gov. Roosevelt for vice president. He has contributed much to the success and glory of the first term of Presideot McKinley, and will add both strength and honor to the next. We indorse the Republican national platform adopted at Pbiladelpbiib and commend it to the voters of this state as an able exposition of Republican doctrine and oi correct public policy. : J|We unreservedly4indorse and ap prove the work ofSenator Addison Q. Foster and Congressmen W. L. Jones stale, have proven themselves more OLYMPIA DOOR 00. Doors, Windows, Mouldings, Cedar Lumber; Etc. Etc. OLYMPIA, WASH. SHELTON, MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 1900. than equal to the burden imposed by their selection to the high offices they so ably fill. *We especially commend their effective efforts regarding recla mation of arid lands and in behalf of settlers within forest reserves. With over two billion dollars of lor eign commerce, Jonly 7 per cent, of which is carried in American ships, we most heartily indorse the efforts of the Republican party, and pledge the support of our representatives, to place American shipping to the forefront of the trade fleets of the world, and spe cifically indorse the plank of the na tional platform relating to the mer chant marine. We favor the building of railroads within our state as an essential means of its development and growth, and we also favor the adoption and enforce ment of just and equitable laws regu lating and controlling them. We stand for loyalty to flag; for gold standard of value for all our mon ey; for protection and reciprocity : for the Nicarauguan canal, owned, ope rated and defended by the United States; for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people; for the further enlargement of our trade and commerce; for such dis crimination and national aid as shall speedily result in the upbuilding of our merchant marine; for the rigid enforcement of the law against trusts; for the loyal and liberal support of the nation’s defenders—the army and navy —both in peace and in war; for the uncompromising suppression of tire rebellion on the island of Luzon ; for the unlimited defense of every foot ot territory under the flag, and for the protection of every citizen in every land; for the immediate rescue of our people imperiled in China, and lor ample restitution for loss of life and property therein ; for a territorial form Of government for Alaska, including protection to navigation, and oppose relinquishing soil or sovereignty of any part of the district; for the construct ion of good and permanent wagon roads through the state; for the rigid enforcement ot law and order and the economical administration of public affairs, national, state and county. In concluding this address to the voters of the state of Washington, we invite their aid and co-operation up on the principles and purposes here in enunciated, without regard to past political affiliations, in the Arm belief that the best conduct of our public af fairs wiH be assured by the triumphant Oteetion of the entire ticket nomina ted by this convention.

They are the of physical suffering, graven by the 1 of Pain. It is the saddest result of the e . _ weakness,” writes Mrs. Susannah Fermenter, of Pauls Store, Shelby Co. Texas. «I was troubled with bearing down pains in my back and hips six years, and I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice. I tried his ‘Favorite Prescription ’ and six bottles cured me. I feel Uke a new person, and I thank Dr. Pierce for my health L«e is a burden to afay one without health.

In reply to an inquiry regarding the amendments in several of the South ern states, the Tacoma News prints the section which disfranchises the negro vote. Section 4 of the North Carolina imposes certain 'educational qualifications with which no believer in the dignity of the electoral franch ise can find any fault. Republican criticism is directed against section 5 which reads as follows; “Section s.—No male person, who was on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote, under the laws of any state in the United States wherein he then resided and no lineal descendant of any such person, shall be denied tho right to register and vote at any election in this state by reason of his failure to possess the educational qualifications prescribed in section 4 of this article.” This is what is known as the “grand father clause,” and is borrowed from Lousiana. Its purpose is obvious. The negroes of the South were not en titled to vote on the Ist day of .Jan uary, 1867, or at any time prior to that date, The whites of the Southern states who had been in rebellion were at that date in the enjoyment of their lestored citizenship and exercise of the franchise. The fifteenth amendment was not proclaimed until January 5 1860, which rea^s; “The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not he denied or abridged by the United States Or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.” The right to vote is not an incident of citizenship and was not conferred upon the former slave by his emanci pation, or by the thirteenth or four teenth amendments to the constitute ion. Section sbf the North Carolina amendment therefore exempts from the educational restrictions ot section 4 all white men who had a vote or whose lineal ancestors had a vote in any state of the Union on January I, 1867 while it fails to save the vote of any illiterate negro. Accordingly the amendment “hits” the black man but, does not “hit” the illiterate white, and therelore is repugnant to the constitu tion of the United States and to the expressed view that the law should treat all men alike, both black and white. Enduring' Death’s Agonies. Only a roaring fire enabled J. M. Garrettson, of San Antonio, Tex.,to lie down when attacked by Asthma, from which he suffered for years. He writes his misery was often so great that it seemed he endured the agonies of death; but Dr. King’s New Discov ery for Consumption wholly cured him. This marvelous medicine is the only known cure for Asthma as well aa Consumption, Coughs and Colds, and all Throat, Chest and Lung trou bles. Price 50c and sl. Guaranteed. Trial bottles free at C. V.

The skin becomes sallow, the cheeks are sunken, the eyes look dull, i the body falls away. Tfo wpman who values her health or good looks should neglect to use Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Inscription for dis eases of the wom anly organs. It cures irregularity, inflammation, ulcer ation and female weakness. It lights up the eye, bright ens the complexion, and rounds out the sunken curves of the body. . ”1 take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription for female weakness ” writes Mrs Study Of The Democrat!* Ticket. There has been opportunity to study the make-up of the fusion ticket nomi nated by the Seattle convention, and the only conclusion to lie reached is that as a whole it represents very medi ocre ability. For the most part the candidates are men with little or no experience in pul lie life, and chosen as they were after the usual unseemly dicker between three organizations, each anxious for place, it is not sur prising that the selectious are not the best that could have been made. As for the governor. It is enough to say that his administration has not met with the favor of the parties which placed him in power, and prior to the convention he was distinctly repudiated by the voters of both organ izations to which he owed elevation to h's present position. His renomina- Uon did not come as a reward for pub lic duly faithfully performed, but ap pears to have been the result of skill ful and uncrupulous convention man euvering and a recourse to methods that are offensive to all people who be lieve in clean politics. Mr. Ronald, onre of the nomiuees for congress is an estimable gentleman in many respects, but it is doubtful if nature ever intended that he should essay to grace the national halls of legislation. He has held office in the past, but as yet no one has been accu sed of asserting that h< was a success as a public servant. His career as mayor of Seattle fills a page in a book that many do not care to have opened. Aside from the wretched dishonesty during his administration, in whfch, bo vever, he was not personally invol ved, he was unequal to the tasks impos ed upon him. No one thought for a moment of assailing his personal qual ities of heart, but in the majority of his fellow citizens minds it was deni onstrated that, however high his character might be, he was not cut out for the public service. As for Mr. Robertson, who was also nominated for congressional honors, the state cannot afford to have him represent them. Above all else Uie people of this common wealth believe in the supremacy of the law, and it might as well be known here and now that they will not tolerate the sugges tion of sending to Washington a mail who has enlisted in the caus* 1 of dyna mite, riot and outlawry. No one may care to criticize Mr. Robertson for his profesional connection with the Coeur d’ Alene miners trials, but the people of this state will take good care to see that one, who has a private citizen, preaches lawlessness and disrespect for the authoiity of the government is re pudiated at the polls. , ■ The nominations for the supreme bench are weak. It is hardly possible that the people have reached the con clusion that the state court should be made up of justices with the peculiari ties that distinguish Judge Winsor. Whatever his early legal training may have been, his later habits of thought have been such as to unfit him for the duties of a just and important judge. He is embittered of spirit, steeped in prejudices and biased in his notions of property rights. The gentlemen named for the other offices are for the most part unknown throughout the state. A few have served the state in some capacity. Mr- Runner, candidate for treasurer, has been a member of the state senate and it is not out of the order to credit him with the honor of being the only reform member of that body in *97 who voted in favor of the measures promised in the fusion platform. The nomination of Gov. Rogers seems to have been a dearly purchased vkrt9ry for those who procured it by means so shady that even the conven tion denounced them formally. In deed those extraordinary resolutions of censure were but a feeble expression the anger and disgust that prevail ed among the delegates when they left Seattle. A large number of them departed not only declaring they would never support the ticket but openly wearing Frink badges.* A dispatch from Olympia tells of the utter disgust of Thurston county people over the slap that was administered to them. There was no demonstration, no wel- come, not even a cheer to celebrate the return of the governor. There is open revolt all along the line, against the man and the methods' be repre sents.

' : * *-* ISggktites. t Absouitely hire Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. Washington Letter. [From our regular Correspondent.] Washington D. C., Sept. 9, 1900 President McKkd^ißttjaLbijK'eept anceot the republican nomination for President is a masterly statement of what has been accomplished by the republican party under bis adminis tration. There is not a weak or bait ing sentence in the letter. It meets every issue of the campaign and dem olishes every argument that has been put forward by the Bryan ites in oppo sit ion to any policy ofUie adminis tration, including that of expansion, which the Bryanites are trying so hard to pursuade the country in the face of absolute knowledge to the*contrary to accept as imperialism If that letter were the only state paper written by President McKinley, it would alone give him the right to-a place in thf front rank of America’s greatest states men. If any intelligent American has any doubt of how he should vote, a careful perusal of that letter will convince him that there is only one way to vote ti insure a continuance of our present prosperity, an 1 that is for McKinley and Roosevelt. Hon. G. E. Roberts, Director of the Mint, who has just returned from a trip lo the Midble West said: West of the Mississippi river, the drift is deci dedly to the republicans. Democratic talk of carrying Minnesota is entitled to no weight. They will not come within fifty thousand voles of it. The Dakotas are both republican and Kan sas is considered safe. I have confi dence that this drift our way, which is so apparent in all the West, will be found to be prevalent in Nebraska also, although that is a state in which populism is well seated. It is hardly to be expected that Illinois will give as large a republican majority as it did four years ago. There is a liklihood that it will set tle back toward the ordinary republi can majority, but there is uo reason to .doabt that it will be ample for prac tical purposes. Senator Daniel, of Va,, is one of the lew men who doesn’t let bis partisan wishes destroy his private judgment. Publicly he talks as confidently of Mr. Bryan’s election as any of bow chasers, but he is quoted as hav ing said privately in Washington ; “I can not see that Bryan has more than a fighting chance, but of course, we are bound to make the most of that. The probabilities seem to me largely favorable to McKinley’s election.” The democrats are makihg many ridiculous claims, none more so that their alleged exception of carrying Minnesota. Capt. Henry A. Castle, Auditor for Post Office Depart ment, who has been active in every campaign in that state for the last thirty-four years, and who was con nected with the republican state Cen tral Committee, as Chairman or Secre tary for more than ten years, has re cently from a visit to the state. He said of political conditions there: “Minnesota is as likely to go for Bryan this year as Vermont is, and not a particle more so. It would be just as responsible for us to claim Mississippi as it is for the democrats to claim Minn. There is not the slightest in dication of any land slide or political upheaval this year in Minnesota. The republicans have thorough precinct, organization, and are advised every day at the central headquarters of all local movements. The reports up to laat week, when I left there, were con stantly more encouraging. The seven republican Congressmen from Minne sota have all been renominated, and each of them will be elected without any question. There can be no trouble about the state ticket or the legislature, which will re-elect Senator Knute Nelson, next winter. Minne sota has had butone democratic gover nor in forty years, and that is suffici- ent. It has never cast a single demo oratic electoral vote since the state was admitted to tbe Union, and it is not likely to commence that folly now.” A fraud order has been issued by the Post Office Department against L. D. Bass, and two alleged concerns conduc ted by him in Washington-Tbe Ameri can Teacher’s agency and tbe Ameri can Civil Service College, one used to collect fees for securing school teach ers places, and tbe other lor securing government positions. Gen. Ohaffe has made new admirers by bis unselfishness in recommending that Col. A. S. Daggett, be appointed to the vacant Brigadier Generalship in the regular army, caused by the re tirement today of Gen. Joe Wheeler for good judgment and gallantry in the Chinese campaign. It had been understood that that this vacancy would be given to Gen. Chaffe, but his own recommendations may get it for Daggett, who may then be retired, which would give the President an opportunity to promote Chaffee also. Gen. Chaffee has been ordered lo hold his troops in readiness to leave Pekin at anv time. After Ten Years. After ten years the populist party in the State and nation has been swal lowed up by the democracy. Just a little less than ten years ago at Ocala, Fla., the larmers alliance was institut ed. At first the membership could in clude only farmers or farm laborers, mechanics, country preachers, country teachers, country doctors, and editors of strictly agricultural papers. They demanded abolition of national banks, establifhment of sub-treasuries where money was to be loaned by the govern* meat at 2 per cent on farm prodnets, etc.; the increase of the per capita to not less than SSO; no trading in "fu tures” and penalties for such trading; free and unlimited coinage of .silver; no alien ownership of means of com munication and transportation, and the popular election of United States senators. At that time the alliance was com posed of a few farmers, labor agitators and some lawyers. The leaders saw that the only salvation of the nation was by organizing a new political par ty. At Omaha, July 4th, ’92 they in stituted that party. The same year it got over a million votes. That was a good start, but today the populist par ty lies so low that none remain to do it reverence. As a national institution it forestall ed the action of the democratic party by nominating the democratic candi date for president. It nominated Towne for vice president under the hope that the democrats might also name him, and with an understanding that if the latter didn’t happen Towne would withdraw. This has been carri ed out, and the populist vote is to go for the candidates of the democratic party both in state and nation. In our own state the populists were threshed off the earth by the demo crats in the union convention of the fuionists. Fully two-thirds of the nominees of the democrats are demo crats. The democrats took the party name. They took the governor by re nominating Rogers, who announced his stand for the democracy some six months ago. The democrats nomina ted both congressman by putting up Ronald and Robertson. They took everything else in sight that was worth the having. How do the men ra the late lament ed peoples’ party who used to be sin cere republicans and who joined the peoples, party with high and lofty purposes like the way in which their organization has been loaded at last into the democratic band wagon? The whole plan of campaign covered but ten years of lime and was instituted and carried out in such a coarse way that any man ought to be able to see that it was a put up job from start to finish to wean away a lot of republi can strength from the grand old party and finally herd it into the democratic camp. This being the case is it any wonder that thousands of populists are coming back this fall? They refuse to be de livered by the crafty politicians and will line up for McKinley and Roose velt.—Bee-Nugget. A Word to Mothers. Mothers of children affected with croup or a severe cold need not hesitate to administer Chamberlain’s Gough Remedy. It contains no opiate nor narcotic in any form and may be given as confidently to the babe as to an adult.
