Political Pot-Pie.
As was predicted by the Pie
maker in last Friday's paper, Hon.
Fred A. Wing was appointed as
sayer of the new assay office lo
cated in Seattle on that day and
has been receiving congratulations
of his many friends for the past
week. There will be a number of
appointees under him and appli
cations for each of them have be
gun to flow in thick and fast. The
appointing of Mr. Wing to the
above mentioned place was, as said
before, a happy solution of the
postoffice contest, which had begun
to wax warm in this city and now
Senator Wilson can appoint the
man who can demonstrate to him
that he can bring about the most
party harmony regardless of whom
that man may be, but, it is gener
ally conceded at this writing, that
George M. Stewart has a walk
away for the appointment. If
there is one thing that Senator
Wilson can be commended for it is
for staying by his friends. During
the last campaign it is said that
the senator was often thrown in
close political relations with Mr.
Stewart and he formed quite an
admiration for him as a party
worker, and, that being a fact, with
the outside influence that Mr.
Stewart has brought to bear on the
senator, there is every reason to
think that he will advise the presi
dent to name Stewart for the
Seattle postoffice at the proper
time.

Mr. Columbus T. Tyler who met
with some unexpected delays in
getting everything ready to take
his place in the land office, finally
overcome all of the obstacles and
was sworn in last Tuesday morn
ing as receiver of the Seattle U. S.
land office. Mr. Tyler will make
a good official, as he is one of Se
attle's best business men. He is
a Republican to the backbone and
was never known to throw off on a
Republican nominee, whether he
personally liked or disliked said
nominee. He has always abided
the decision of the majority
of his party without murmur
or complaint.
a a a
Paul D'Heirry, who has ren- 1
dered the Republican party some
good indirect work, owing to his J
affiliations with the Populist and J
Fusion parties, has been appointed
to a command in the army and
went East last Wednesday evening
under government orders from
Washington to report for imme
diate duty. And thus the faithful
shall be rewarded, providing his
face is not black.

g "Ye:,, I'am v eandkk^ tor the *
supreme judgeship of this state
under the following conditions," '
came from Attorney Fred H.Peter
son, "If Judge Humphries or any
other candidate gets a majority of
the King county delegation then I
am for making it unanimous and
go to the state convention as a
unit for such candidate, but in case
the leading candidate gets but
thirty or forty per cent of the del- '
egates and the others are divided ;
among many others with no proba
bility of them concentrating on :
such leading candidate, then I am :
in the race for the place. Person- ''
ally I am very favorable to Judge :
Humphries' candidacy, but in case '
he has no hope of getting the del- '
egation solid for him then he has '
no* show of securing the nomina- (
tion and no other man from this ,
county for that matter.
"I am rather inclined to think
that although King county had a
candidate two years ago she has a
business right to ask for a candi- ■
date this year also. One third of ;
all the legal business done before
the supreme court of this state
comes from King county, and, it I
appears to me that it is a straight
business proposition to say that
one man on the bench who is thor
oughly familiar with the legal
practices of such county should be
one of the five members on the
bench. It should not be a matter
of political preferences, but one of
business on a business principle.
Regardless of whom it may be I
am decidedly in favor of King'
county being represented on the
next supreme bench of this state."
a « a
There is a bare possibility of:
the Review having counted with
out its host in pitting Sheriff
Moyer as the next Fusion nominee j
against the Republican nomi
nee, A. T. Van de Vanter, for there
are others in the Populist party
who are working like beavers for
the nomination and they say their
labors are showing good results.
Chief among the others is Swan
Lewis, the popular hotel keeper,
who is out for the Fusion nomina
tion and out to win. "I am a can
didate for sheriff of King county
and do not forget it," said Mr.
Lewis one day this week. "If the
the successful conducting of busi
ness in this city for the past
twenty-two years is not a recom
mendation for me to my party
then I have nothing more to say.
I have stood back for others quite
long enough. I believe I have as
many friends in King county as
the fellows who get the offices, if
not more, and my friends do not
propose to take no for an answer
-another time, but tney declare to
me that they propose to stand by
me in the fight and they do not
seem to fear the results." The Pie
maker believes that Lewis is a
very strong candidate and will not
only give Sheriff Mover a hard
tussle in the Populist convention,
but will give the Republican nom
inee a hard fight at the polls.

If The Republican merits a
word of commendation among the
city's business houses and enter
prises, irrespective of whom you
are, or your nationality, it's only
fair that you do that much for it.
Merchants love to patronize papers
that are popular with the masses.
So give us a boost if you have an
opportunity.

The following political stuff was
picked up on the streets by the
Pie-maker one day this week and
he believed it too good not to pub
lish.
"I believe that the success or
defeat of the Republican party
next fall depends, largely, upon
the wisdom or unwisdom used in
our primaries and nominating con
vention.
This ought to be a Republican
year, in this county and state ; I
believe that it will be, and that it
will be a year of disappointments
to the would-be political boss, for
it seems to be in the air that the
Republican voter will be in the
field at work before and at the
primaries, before and on the day
of election.
"I believe that no large number
of the ambitious ones will 'get
there solely by reason of their de
sire for place.'
"It seems to me that the com
ing campaign should be the oppor
tunity for the honest, capable,
faithful and consistent Republi
can. I mean just the plain, every
day United States Republican,
regardless of place of birth or
color, and, by the way, Mr. Pie
maker, it would not surprise me
nor shock my sensibilities if I, as
a Republican, were called upon
this fall to vote for a colored
friend and brother; say, what
would be the position of the Pie
maker oh such a proposition?
"How about the old soldier?
"Yes, I am one, and from such a
standpoint you may quote me as
saying that all things being equal,
as to fitness in all respects for the
place, I should hope that the old
soldier would at least stand an
equal show. I hope that the Pie
maker will not be found boosting
any unfit man for any position,
solely for the reason that he fought
to save the union. All honor to
and respect for the old soldier,
but I am not in favor of placing
a round man —even if he does
wear a Grand Army button—into
a square hole.
. "Well, no, nothing.more at .tiiis
jtinMV&itrfk you, If you can fek
what I have already said id to
shape fit for the Pie-maker's use
you are a dandy."
a a a
"Please say for me, Mr. Pie
maker that I am not a candidate
for the postoffice now nor any
other time. I admit that I have
some aspirations for a place on the
supreme bench of this state, but I
do not want it understood that I
am a candidate for every vacancy
that may happen to occur. lam
making no scramble for the nomi
nation, which I would not be
averse to accepting, because I do
not believe such nominations
should be traded for as is custom
ary in,, conventions," came from
ex-Superior Judge J. W. Langley
one day last week.
a a a
Some political diplomacy has
been used by the Populist and
Democratic parties in this county,
and especially the former, that
might be imitated with some ex
cellent results on the part of the
Republicans. For the past few
years the Swedish vote of this
county has beseeched the Repub
licans to give them at least one
place on the county ticket, if not
permanently, for two or four years
and they would be satisfied, but
that has been stubbornly denied
them. The Populist party, hav
ing learned of that fact, took ad
vantage of the opportunity and
nominated E. H. Evenson for
county auditor, and, as a result,
that party got every Swedish vote
in the county two years ago. Most
of the Swedes in the county made
a fight for their countryman's
election at the expense of the other
nominees on both the tickets, but
most of them did not leave you un
til they had given you to under
stand that the Populist party was
not only the poor man's party in
this country, but he especially
gave you to understand in his
opinion it was decidedly the party
to which the Swedes should sup
port as it was the only one in this
county that had ever given him
any substantial recognition. With
this the Pie-maker does not agree,
but they thought so and the results
of the election in this county were
very disastrous to the Republican
party on that account.
B B B
Here is another piece of Popu
list political chicanery that has
been noted by the Pie-maker and
might be worthy of espousing: In
order to divide the colored vote of
this county, and perhaps the state
as well, the Populist party has
kindly consented to issue a weekly
newspaper under the management
of a colored man and one who has
for the past number of years been
employed at one of the coal mines
- of this state as one of their sta
i tionary engineers, free of cost to
: him, said manager to have all he
I can make out of the advertising
, columns of the paper as his com
. pensation for running' the same.
This leaked out a few weeks ago
when the paper was known as the
Northwest Illuminator,when a row
, broke out between the colored men
running it over the spoils thereof
and the founder discontin
: ued the Illuminator, but the
Pops were not to be outgeneraled
so easily so they had the local
man in the city to at once issue
the Sun, which took the place of
the Illuminator. It has some ad
vertising patronage and the mana
ger of the Sun is quite a rustler,
but the paper shows that it has
not sufficient advertising to get out
a single issue were it not held up
by some power behind the throne;
in other words, it of itself is evi
dence sufficient to prove that it is
a parasite. The Pie-maker sees
nothing condemnatory in such po
litical strategy, but he rather
thinks it shows political ingenuity
on the part of both the political
party and the colored man that
has been able to work up such a
scheme, and he only mentions it
to show to the Republicans that
the Populists are neither asleep
on their rights nor the ignorant
street corner howlers in every par
ticular that they have been put
down as, for some good political
generalship is creeping out here
and there that Republicans should
at once offset.
nan
In view of the above the Pie
maker is decidedly in favor of see
ing some one from among the
Swedish voters whose nomination
will bring strength to the Repub
lican party from that source, being
put on the next county ticket made
up by the Republican convention.
Most assuredly this should pri
marily be done to get votes for the
Republican party, but at the same
time it is secondarily done to
prove to the world that the Repub
lican party is the party for the
people. It was so considered in
the past by all classes of voters
and there is no reason why it
should not continue on in the same
direction by the present gener
ation. The party may have made
mistakes in the past on this line,
but mistakes should always be cor
rected and no party is more ready
and willing to do so than the Re
publicans. Keep this in mind un
til the next county convention is
in session and then put it in prac
tice.
a a a
Another Republican political
weakness has been taken advantage
of by the Populist party, which
may make them a few votes. One
day last - week Sheriff Moyer ap- ,
pointecnV. S. Gayles deputy sheriff
and put him to work* Never in
the history of King county has
there before been a colored man
appointed deputy sheriff and given
a star as has been Mr. Gayles.
When Republican sheriffs were
approached on this point they
would always remark that it would
be dangerous for a colored man to (
hold such a position as the whites
would not submit to be arrested by ;
them. This was all buncum of the
worst kind for, if one of the ex
sheriffs themselves should do any
thing to warrant their arrest at
present and they would come
under the observation of Deputy
Gayles they would go to the
county jail either dead or alive
and they would be cooly given
their choice as the way they pre
ferred to go. The Populist party
claims to be a party of non-politi- ■
cians, but they never fail to take ■
advantage of such party weakness
as the above and they have made i
many votes thereby. Not long
since some Republicans were ap
proached about the nomination of
a colored man, they expressed a
fear less a certain element would
knife him on account of his color. '
Now as to that, the Pie-maker
would suggest that the convention
do its work conscientiously as it I
should and then let the final re- >
suits be as they may. Republican
ism will have cleared its skirts of
trying to draw a color line.
