IT is gratifying to know that the city CEN
trail committee did not mean 10 hnaily table
the proposition for a primary election to select
delegates to the State convention. This was
the impression naturally conveyed by their
original action. and If they ever did have
such an idea they must be convinced now
that the voters OF tho city wish
otherwise. Whether they decide to
have this primary in conjunction with
tho municipal primary on the 9Th OF next

beyond controversy. that if any other plan

Ex-Governor BUcKNER speaks bluntly and

is that Cleveland ought to be nominated re-
CARELESS of the fight against him in New York.
The Democrats ought to say to the New York
politicians. We will nominate Cleveland and
elect him in spite of you The fact that
Cleveland's has been the only Democratic
administration since the war; and that it kept
every promise the party has made to the peo-
pie. and that his emphatic enunciation of the
Democratic principle of tariff reform set the
people thinking. and resulted In the great
popular victory two years ago. would make

A PLAN has been formulated by Senator
Vest for making appropriations for postoffice
buildings which has received the approval Of
the Senate and Will doubtless receive the ap-
proyal of the House when it comes before
that body for adoption. Under the terms of
the Vest bill a postoffice building to cost
$4,000 is to be erected in every town the
postoiiice receipts of which have amounted
TO more than SO 900 annually for three years.
If the receipts of town exceed as. 900 a year
il is under the Vest bill entitled to building
TO cost $4,000. 1t is stated that there are
about one thousand towns the annual receipts
of whose respective postofiices amount
10 S3.OOO-the receipts of a few of these
are over Ss.0O0-and 1t is estimated
that about $40 900 will be required to
erect the buildings to which they will be en-
titled. but as this sum will be paid out grad
ually for considerable period. the drain
upon the treasury during any one year will
not be very heavy. The Vest plan is decidedly
preferable to the lobbying and log rolling sys-
tenn which now prevails.

The Dispatch still holds TO its proposition
that Mr. Cleveland will be wary in expressing
his opinions concerning silver, and it now
bases that view upon the fact that he made
no reference to silver in his letter to General
Bragg just published. But what unfair argu-
ment this is. He has recently given public
expression in the most unequiyocsl form to
his opposition 10 free coinage so far as it at
tempts to make seventy cents pay dollar of
debt. and why should he be charged with q
change of opinion because he does not reite
rate that opposition whenever he opens his
mouth?
His opinion has been declared and made
known. and that should be the end of the
matter until he makes some other declaration
inconsistent with the first. Boswell was al
ways torturing himself with the fear that DR..
Johnson's regard for him was growing less.
and he leased the Doctor with limitations Of

beneht of the same suppOsition.n

10 Chicago. She is centrally located. and,
being the largest city in the State, can pro-

reason, and because she is the capital of the

ventions here. This subject will be discussed
