Thoy did not realize wha they wore doing. When it was dou thoy stood aghast. Thoy had boon told one thing' and another about th candidates or had blindly followei their party organ. Tho gas company's assault upon th republican primaries, resulted In a din aetrous rout. The fight against C.

Hadley was carried so far that an emissary another ward epen tho day preceding in an effort to create a break. The primary was tho largest in tho history the ward over 250 present, and Mr. Had ley was renomlnatod by acclamation In tho First ward Charles Ringlebon is a trusod officer In the now gai company; in the Second wart George Haigh was a dtreoto in the first citizens oppositioi gas company, in tho Third ward William Kelser osened his doors for the citizens Third ward mass mooting and in tho Fifth ward, Joseph Kinnoy Was one of the first signers lo tho now company Their opponents for tho eouncl wero tho choice of those who knocked out tho othor oflicers acd this fact alono should put tho people on ihoir guard. Tin-; Pharos entered into tho interview style of defense and tho Journal is anxiously awaiting the treasurer's reply to its last questions. Ttiese questions were based on the first point raised in tho interview and the Journal wants this settled before proceeding further.

The interview indicated that the treasurer was ready to explain and tho silence is surprls- tng- Tho Journal is ready to explain the Johnston and Hadley matter as soou aa tho lirst question, that of the brewery is answered. Why this silence? asks the defeat of the democratic ticket. It does not ask this on parly grounds alone. If Delleves the defeat of tho democratic landldatea for re-election means much. believes that hostile Influences controlled the democratic primaries and convention.

It believes that those nfluences failed to accomplish thing 1 in republican meetings and that ihe republican candidates are entitled the support of every oltlzeni rardloss of party. EVEKY democratic candidate for re ilectlon was strongly opposed to the ild gas company. Every democratic nominee in place of those defeated is urrounded and governed by influences rhich make him weak on the gas uostlon. Is It possible that any dom. docs not see the point? Is it josslblo that that any true citizen does lot see what defeated the democratic andldates for renomlnatlon? THE Republican primaries will bo leld this evening in the various rards to select delegates to the State nd congressional conventions There hould bo a good turn out and calm eliberation.

In many points it directly antagonizes tho undamental dcalaration of the party platform. That platform aflirms pro- ection to bo unconstitutional. The jill, as reconstructed by the senate Committee, adopts this unconstitutional principle ai to certain preferred iu- lustries, extending to, them a protec- ion which is arbitrarily denied to other nterests equally important and de- erring-. These concessions are made, admittedly, for partisan reasons, and ndependently altogether of broad con- iderations of public policy; they are made to conciliate special interests and ppease tho hostile sentiment of spe- ial localities. Thus we have a bill which is inspired on tho one hand by motives of hostility to groat national nterests, and on the othor by solid- ude for interests which are largely sec- lonal and hold no vital relation to the lational bill which is for protection and against it, which embodies both a constitutional and an unconstitutional principle; which proposes, accepting the claims of its fram- er.s as sincere, to promote the national welfare and at the same time encour- uyu national disaster.

as we do in the protective policy, wi! of course regard its application as to any interest or industry as a matter for haws in) dorlbt that tile discriiniualions of the amended bill, mado in the interest oi 'localities, will in some sense inure to the public advantage, lint tliis docs not alter the fact thai the bill is dishonest and incoherent, utterly lintl in morals, and Ilia 1, us such it must brinff legislation into contempt, a country lets down the standard ol In the level oi exocdicney, and its laws come the prejudices or passions, or relluct the selfishness and vemility of tim ulace, or any of in a word, it enacts its liy a process of bargain and sale invites the derision of all 1 peoples and lilakes it inevitable that iu own authority will cense, sooner or later, to command respect.

Instead of this has by its in- competence and timorous insincerity deepened the distrust of the people, lost its opportunity, an.l brought upon the country fresh confusion and apprehension a.s to tho economic policy of the future. Instead of settling, it has unsettled financial and industrial conditions, and thus has uffjiravatod the dilliculties, already ominously tfreat, tlnoiifr'i which we must make our ivay to tiiat clear, and permanent national policy which can alone brinp g-enuino and abiding 1 prosperity.

Every prophecy which tlie republicans made in IW'J as to tin; consequences of a democratic, triumph been fulfilled. The democratic prophecies have not been. The republicans make another prediction.

It is that if the democrats will drop the bill will jump up forthwith to the old standard, there will be work for every one, and the employers of. the men now on strikes, boinj; able to g-ive what they demand, will tell them to come back at once.

The protective principle was before the people in the person of its frreatest upostle, the author of the law which gave the nation its Greatest prosperity. It was not MeXinley, the victor in two of the most remarkable campaigns of political history; it was riot McKinley the statesman; it was Me' Kinley of the MclCir.ley bili.

The republicans have not been "forced to confess failure," however, so far as confessing failure implies that they have lost faith in the efficacy of protection.

They are forced to confess that they do not have quite as 01" claimed the decree of people surrendering to control every ilc- pnrtiiiont of the of tho United States. The brief experienc" of little more than a year, with its general widespread ruin, starvation, ami disaster, has vindicated justified Meivinley as no other statesman ever before was an opinion of the intelligence of eated and justified, even by his political tho American people as they had prior to November 1892. When they saw tlie majority of the voters casting their ballots free trade after it had been explained to them just what the consequences of a march toward free trade and away from protection would be, and when thoy saw the readiness of the pcoplu to discard a system under which they had prospered for a third of a century, they wero willing to con- less that there was a failure of intelligence. The republicans are not surprised that great numbers of men are out work now, and they havn no trouble about explaining 1 it They predicted lack of work in. ISOC-'O-J if tho democrats were successful.

Their predictions have come true. They said democratic success would lower wages. It has done so. They said that there would bo innumerable) industrial conflicts while the country was trying to itself to the new democratic wage scale. Those conllicts arc going on now.

Of course, it is not the "fault' 1 of protection that these phenomena of scant work and low wages are visible everywhere, for, while protection is btill the aw, that law is practically a dead letter. It has been known for months that a low tariff bill was to be passed. The mintitu tho people made up their minds that such wo.s to be the case they preparing for it. They did not wnit for the day when the bill was to force to take the necessary enemies. The people, by overwhelming-majorities, have voted their confidence in Kuch day's progress in the legislation of the democratic factions in congress has served to show that the only safe platform upon which their party can rally is the principle of McKinleyism.
