SPOKANE DEPARTMENT
E. H. HOLMES, Correspondent.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. C, 1902.
As It shall be my chief endeavor
from time to time to keep the outside
world advised of the social and polit
ical situation In Spokane, through the
medium of the New Age, It Is needless
to add that every business Interest,
every faction, every project worthy of
consideration, will be treated Impar
tially by the undersigned. Wo shall
not mince words, however, In dealing
with abuses and pointing tho way ns
we conceive It to bo best, for the cit
izens of this community.
Spokane people havo always felt
kindly toward Portland and her good
citizens, and the community of Inter
est existing, and the fraternal feelings
hevo rather been strengthened In lato
years than otherwise Wo have sent
Portland many a good man and wo
man, not to mention tho young folks.
Those two, aye those three, princely
fellows, Dave Thornton, Morton Free
mnn and Geo. Brown, onco claimed
tills city as their home, as well as
Billy Cox, and as reports nrrlvo hero
periodically that tho boyslaro making
It all "right It gladdens tho hearts of
their friends. Many Portland people,
too, havo como here and have mado
excellent and useful ctlzens, henco
iiilinn lt n nlnltM In o t Ihnt n nlitin
community of Interests nnd lasting
frinn.i.hin .hmiM n,i Hnoa xnt ho.
, i. ... ,- i, ..,nir.r.
i ,n fn,.n,i,i ,i i ohoii hothanni.iTho sheriffs finally arrived on tho
Icy of tho correspondent of tho Now
Ago In Spokane to cement that friend
ship and ondcavor to keep thogood
people In the two towns advised of
matters of mutual Interest that they
bbould both know.
Mention wns made In the last Issue
of tho New Age relative to the attitude
of tho colored voters In Spo"kano.
Generally speaking from a political
stand point, and their courageous aril
bold stand for their political rights
and freedom. It was pointed out In
that article how llttlo, the bo'8 roally
owed to tho republican party of Spo
kane, and how llttlo thoy had to ex
pect from tho same source In future.
It might bo pertinent to suggest to
those who havo lately como In nur
midst, as welt as to some of our re
publican friends of tho "ynllcr dog"
variety, that tho younger olomont havo
a pretty firm grip on "tho local, situa
tion and In fact control tho sanio, and
that unless they want to bo known as
"handkerchief heads" they will havo
to Join In, nnd go down tho lino togeth
er with their moro progressive neigh
bors. Because there aro bright days
ahead for all concerned. If wo ad
Minco thoro Is promised political free
don), representation, fair treatment
advocates In tho councils of tho pow
ers thnt be, nnd n general breaking
down of tho hideous nightmare of po
litical ostroclsm nnd degradation thnt
has so long been practiced upon us In
the house of our supposed friends.
Years of experience have taught many
n woll wisher of hlB raco hero to movo
discreetly but determinedly In mattors
political, and that to retreat In tho
faco of adversity and tho Ignominious
tieatment wo have contended with for
18 years would bo cowardice Wo
must grapple with tho situation ns wo
And It and support those men for
placo and honor who intend to lend us
a helping hand.
Senator'Georgo Turner, backed" by a
valiant hosts of loynl domocrnts nnd
thousands of republican friends nnd
Independent voters, has commenced to
plan a lino of action and bnttlo In the
Interests of his own candidacy Tor re
election to tho United States senate
and also to secure tho triumph of his
party In tho fall election In this coun
ty nnd state Sonntor Turnor Is reck
oned by friend nnd foo ns ono of the
great big brainy men of tho nation
His llfo has been dedicated, It would
seem, In lino, or along lines, of useful
ness, and whero ho could accomplish
much for our race Years ago when
tho Negro was groveling In tho mlro
of despond and degradation, hav
ing Just emerged from slavery, friend
less, way back In .Alabama, Geo. Tur
ner was United Sttes Marshal, nnd
many a frlendy turn ho did thoo poor,
unfortunates, risking llfo and oven
happiness, that he might extend n
helping hand to those In tho blackest
hour of their adversity and misfor
tune Ho nlwaye offered a word of
encouragement, tho strong protection
of the law. and a fair trial In every
Instance whore thoy wero accused of
crime As a friend nnd admirer of
Rbscoe Conkllng, he stood like old
Stonewall Jackson for Grant's rononl
nation In the stormy period of tho na
tion's great post, when men wero need
ed. No student familiar with tho his
tory of this country nnd Its grenf mon
can deny that Conkllng should bo
classed along with Sumner and Phil
lips and John Brown In his regard nnd
love for the Negro race, and tho cause
of liberty and freedom. Senator Tur
ner was Conkllng b friend and Grant s
friend', and It would Indeed be passing
strange If ho was not tho colored
man's friend today. Long years of
Judicial training has made tho senator
already a ripe Jurist and scholar, the
peer of any man surely the equal
In the senate, and for his Illustrious
service to our people and for his state
all give thanks. A movement is on
foot among all classes to give this
great man a solid delegation to tho
next legislature which elects his suc
cessor. The Democratic County Convention
convenes next month nnd as every
thing from surface Indications promis
es to be entirely harmonious and love
ly no serious outcomes or friction Is
anticipated. Senator Turner will
name the legislative candidates nnd
dictate tho platform and also name the
delegation to the State Convention.
There seems but little dbubt that the
ticket that shall be named at that con
vention will be successful at tho polls.
All the names that have been advanc
ed for the various places on the ticket
are of mon highly respected In the
community and who would naturally
Inspire confidence on any ticket,
One nomination that Id conceded
and Is giving evident satisfaction Is
the Hon. George Mudgett for County
Treasurer. Mr. Mudgett Is such a
staunch friend of the race and has
proved his friendship 30 substantially
that I do not know of one colored vot
er in the county who will vote against
him. Not only will they vote for him,
but each one will support his candi
dacy with an enthusiast that 1b nt
once gdnulrio nnd valuable. Mr. Mud
gett Is an unpretentious, rcllnblo and
honest mnn. His word once given con
be Implicitly relied upon. LIRo Son
ntor Turner he Is "an honest politic
ian," and It Is worth something to be
honest nnd admired for those sterling
qunlltlos and attributes that Mr. Mud
cett possesses. His nomination Is
equivalent to an election. 1
Horry Tracy's advent Into Eastern
Washington has been tho absorbing
topic for tho past week. His tragic
end, queor ns It may seem, Is gener
ally deplored. There are thousands of
1'PopIe that would havo liked to see
Hint ftnrlng criminal escape, whllo no
well thinking man could lend any on
rmirngemont to such a sentiment.
There Is something, however, bo at
tractive or rather tho glnmour that
purrounds these Criminals Is bo filled
with action, escapades and daring
deeds that onn feels Instinctively a
port of sympathy for them, and rrioro
especially when they arc pursued by
a lot of city dudes commonly dcsle
tinted ns a posse, but who pro more of
tnn bent upon potting the foo of a
deputy and keeping out of harm's
way. Over horq wo hod three qr four
eherlrfB on Tracy's trail and n largo
