THE PRIMARIES RESULT.
From the Scranton World.

There seems to be no question that the
result of yesterdays primaries resulted
in a victory for Colonel Ezra H. Ripple
and that Tuesdays convention will give
him the nomination for mayor. This
is practically the election, for the clean
record that Re left when last he was the
city'S chief magistrate seems to promise
but a fOrlorn hope to any opposing nomina- a.
ton. If this be true, the citizens are to be
congratulated. No occupant of the eXecu-
tive chair ever conducted the affairs Of the
city more wisely, or had cleaner more
reputable administration. In this all good
citizens without regard to political affilia-
tionS Will agree. AS he was a soldier
brave and courageous, rs he has ever been
a business man of most unquestoned in
tegrity. as he is in private life an exem-
plar of virtue and morality, an exponen.
of n true broad-gauged Christian gentle
man: so he was as mayor, and so he will
be when again at the head of the city gov
ernment. That he has won hands down,
which confronted his candidacy, is the
highest tribute which can be paid to him.
The loss of the nomina tion to Captain
Moir is in no wise a disparagement He
made the best race against Colonel Rip
pie that could have been put up by any
other member of the party, and 1t is in it.
self a tribute to the high esteem in which
he is held. That the voters OF his party
should have preferred tried to an un-
tried candidate is but natural in this
emergency, when the party is itself divid-
ed, and his opponent was believed to be
the only man who was sure to win, and
he will doubtless support the nominee
Both are to be congratulated.

Senator Sherman's Speech.

No apology need be made for the
space devoted in this paper to the re-
markable speech delivered on Friday of
last week in the senate by Senator John
Sherman. 1t deserves and should re-
ceive the attentive perusal of each
reader, for it not only explains to what
causes are due the present trouble
experienced by the Cleveland admins
tration in keeping intact the gold re-
serve, but also points out that with
very little amendment. and that not
now urgent, our present monetary sys-
TEN can be made stronger than the
vaunted currency system of Great Brit
ain and stronger than that of any other
country in the world, excepting none.
Senator Sherman's word upon this
subject is admittedly the word of au-
thority. 1t is the word of the greatest
flnancier since Alexander Hamilton,
spoken at time of life when the judg-
mentis ripe and free from any wish to
distdrt or misrepresent. Every state
meht in the senator's speech is carefully
weighed in the light of it's admitted i'm
fortance among financiers, and is for
titled by statistics derived from the
treasury department itself. When,
therefore, Senator Sherman declares
that but for the enactment of the Will
son tariff bill, with its deficits and its
unsettlement of business interests,
there would have been no impairment
of the gold reserve and no casting of
suspicion upon the ability of the gov
ernment to redeem its notes of hand
at any moment in the best money
known to civilization. he does not sim
ply utter platitude, he states a fact

THE TRIBUNE ANNUAL.
One Ofthc Best.

Philadelphia Press: One of the best Of
the almanacs issued in the state is the
Scranton Tribune's annual. Its excellence
consists not alone in its letter press. but
in the illustrations in half-tone, which are
reproductions of photographs of actual
scenes or of famous works of art. This
decorative feature is balanced by COM
pact digest Of useful information, parti-
cularly rich in local events, that appeal
not only to Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties, but all northeastern Pennsylva-
MIA. The Tribunes annual is all that an
almanac should be and in addition is some
thing more.

Saturdays Primaries.

That the spirited canvass for dele
gates to the Republican city conven-
tion which ended Saturday should have
resulted in the selection of & large ma
jority favorable to Messrs. Ripple. Will
llams and Widmayer does not belittie
the candidates who were unsuccessful;
for under the circumstances it must IN
fairness be acknowledged that they
made Gallant fight. Had these cam
didates stood forth in their own right
with sufficient positiveness to dispel the
impression that they were being uset
for ulterior purposes by disaffected and
discredited Republican leaders striving
to regain lost prestige, it is probable
that they would have made an ever
better showing. Each of the gentlemen
on the Scranton ticket stands well per
sonally in the community, and each has
hitherto been consistent and loyal in HI
devotion to the party.
That each should have failed to carr,
a majority of the delegates in his re
for as much by the popular u.strust o.
the element arrayed behind them anf
by the public's disgust at the low meth
DDS of their newspaper champion as by
reason of the popularity and the recog-
nized personal fitness of their successful
competitors. While we believe that thu
is true of both CAPTAIN Moir and Ny
Westpfahl. we are especially sure ti,dt
1t is true of Mr.. Davies, than whom rC
man in Hyde Park stands higher for
personal integrity and for honesty o.
purpose. The election by the West Sid
Of majority of delegates pledged to
the ticket which Mr.. Davies opposed
Is to be construed not as c. reflection up
on Mr.. Davies himself, nor upon his col
leagues, Messrs. Moir and Westpfahl
but rather as an expression of censure
upon the methods and the men fol
whom Mr.. Davies and his two associ-
ates mistakenly permitted themselveS
to stand as exponents. They Were
simply unfortunate in the circum-
stances surrounding their present effort
to secure municipal office. q
At the same time it would be unfair
to underrate the widespread popularity
of the gentlemen who won. In the case
of Colonel Ripple this has long been ac-
knowledged even by his most active ad-
versaries: and 1t is little if any less true
of his associates in victory. Mr.. Will
liams and Mr.. Widmayer. The former
as a member of the poor board and the
latter as city controller have proved
their fitness for continued public trust
in a manner which materially strength
ened the winning ticket. They had alsC
the further advantage of standing for
clean politics and honest government,
and of representing the type of leader
ship which has made of I.ackawanna
county one of the foremost Republican
strongholds in the state. and of the city
of Scranton a worthily governed and
notably progressive municipality. THAT
the choice of the party at its primaries
will also be the enthusiastic choice OF
the voting citizens of the municipality
at the polls is not open to doubt, let the
oppostion be what it may.

its current expenses was there any raid
upon the treasury's stock Of gold, or any
inclination in any quarter to fear that
the United States would not pay every
dollar of its just debts in the best
money going. Not until the Democratic
party. with its threat of greatly lowered
tariff duties, carried the elections of 1892
and inaugurated the series of deficits
which, while crippling the government
in its necessary expenditures, also
forced the secretary of the treasury to
use the gold reserve to cover the in
evitable margin between income and
expenses. and thus awakened distrust
among holders of treasury notes, was

The figures relating to Scranton have
