The questions contemplate an inquisition

The tariff sentiment Of the Northwest was
one Of the themes treated by Mr.. Clarkson
in his Boston speech. Mr.. Clarkson thinks
protection sentiment is quite as strong in
that quarter as in the East, and he demon
strates this view pretty conclusively by the
figures of the last Presidential election,
which shows the farmers voting the Repub-
lican ticket far more solidly than the inhabi-
tants of manufacturing centers,

1.-THE most rabidly partisan papers in this
country today are those that call themselves
independent" These words were uttered
by Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson
in his speech to the Norfolk Club on satur-
day. We think everybody familiar with
newspapers will attest the truth of this re-
mark. We doubt if single newspaper in
the country which calls itself independent,
leans to the Republican side. They are all
assistant Democratic sheets.

BRIEF NOTES.

The Board of Supervisors will meet to-
day.
Last evenings west-bound overland train,
due at 6:25, was several hours late in its
arrival.
Again the streets are becoming dusty,
and people are looking longingly for the
sprinkling- wagons.
March came in with the proverbial
meekness Of lamb. 1t remains to be
seen how it will go out.
The snow. shovelers, who did not get q
chance to vote at Saturdays primary cleo
ton, are looking very sick.
Judge Armstrong will to-day decide
whether or not the supplemental register
can be used at the coming city election.
There was a runaway on G street yester-
day caused by phaeton losing a wheel.
Nothing could be learned as to whether or
not any person was injured.
If any family in the vicinity of Seventh
and K streets should miss one or more of
its little toddlers, they might find it profit
able to drag the frog pond on Uncle Sans
lot.
A couple of lads at the theater last even
ing seemed to be highly amused at that
thrilling point in the play when Virginius
killed his daughter, Virginia, and disturbed
those about them with laughter. Had they
been acclimated gallery gods they would
have had more sense, if not better manners.

THE PRIMARIES.
The Result is United Republican Party
in Sacramento.

The Result is United Republican Party
in Sacramento.
The result of the Republican primaries
on Saturday was the chief topic of CONVEX
sation throughout the city yesterday, and
the whole situation was carefully reviewed
by thoughtful citizens who had been sur
prised at the evident change in public senti-
ment since the last city election. Naturally
some disappointment and bitterness was
felt by some of the vanquished faction, par
ticularly the small ward strikers, who had
cast their lot with the vanquished faction.
As rule, however, the defeated politicians
took the result philosophically, and de-
clared that they were ready to go in and
fight for the Republican nominees, even
though they were not able to secure the
nomination of their favorites in all cases.
A. Conklin, who leads the anti-caucus
ticket in the Second Ward, expressed pretty
nearly the general feeling among the best
element of the defeated party when he said
to RECORD UNION representative yester-
day Il led the opposition ticket in the
Second Ward, and did all l could to carry
it, but we were defeated in a fair, square
manner and l am perfectly satisfied. Our
side had two election officers to their one
heard word of complaint in regard to the
manner in which the election was con-
Quoted.
81 do not see in the result victory for
Frank Rhoads, but rather protest against
the methods of some of the present party
managers. They were defeated by the
solid Republican voters of the city for the
very practices which caused Rhoads' down.
fall. l did not go into the regular Repub-
lican caucus in the Second Ward, because
past experience told me that l could not
get fair show, but in the Third Ward the
anti Rhoads people did exactly what we
have been protesting against all the time.
This disguised fair minded citizens, and
they have signi6ed their disapproval of it
as they have done in the past. That is the
reason we were all defeated yesterday. 1t
was done fairly, and | propose to stand in
and carry out the will OF the majority.
81 have nothing against Frank Rhoads
personally and / am as willing to go in
and work with him for the good
of the Republican party as any other
man, but am opposed to some of the
methods he has adopted in the past, and
| for that reason I took the position did.
was glad to see in this mornings paper
that he did not claim the result as per-
sonal victory for himself, but that it was q
triumph of the Republican party"
Many other citizens who have affiliated
with what is known as the uptown"
wing of the party were interviewed yester.
day, and their views were much the same
as those expressed by Mr.. Conklin.
The City Convention will be held to-
morrow evening at the Clunie Opera
House at 7:30 o'clock, and it is generally
conceded that Mayor Gregory will be re-
nominated on the first ballot By large
majority, possibly by reclamation. As te
the rest of the ticket there is great divers
| ity of opinion.
