GOOD FOR TACOMA.

Tacoma seems to b. following the ex-
ample set by Seattle few weeks ago. and
the result 10 sure to be the choice Ct
good business man for mayor. and the
RELOCATION Of the political takers and noun
tebanks to the limbo Of obscurity. The
cetts and that ilk in conspicuous public
positions. and with him will b shelved, BY
the Republican party. some Other obJeo-
tionabies who use Organisations. frafsrnal
societies and similar aggregauons Of men
formed for non-poiitical purposes. With the
sole object Of pushing themselves to the
front.
This 70 . goed time for the Republican
party to free itself from all such influ-
ences. The Republican party has principles
to maintain. sacred interests Of the people
to foster. vital issues to determine. Its
aims are proclaimed in stentorian tones
from the open platform in the broad light
OF publicity. that all men may know its
conceal. no secret object hidden beneath
its platform or ashamedly yelled by its
banners.
1t seeks no fusion with unholy allies. The
Republican party cannot subordinate
principles to expediency. nor compromise
Its honor in a greed for place. It welcomes
to Its ranks all those who are weary Of the
present unsatisfactory conditions, ana who
seek to be rid of the burden Of poverty
placed on their shoulders BY Democratic
mismanagement and . Populist craze
famed by interested mine owners, who
control silver state legislatures. With its
exalted and benencent purpose the Re-
publican party Is sure Of victory. for the
hearts Of the people are with II. returning
penitently from that disastrous departure
which led them into the camp Of the free
traders.
For these reasons there is no need to
truckle to demagogues or tolerate tn. pre-
sumptuous claims Of renegade Democrats,
cast-off Populists and disgruntled Repub-
licans. who run from party to faction and
fancy and screeds and organizations of all
kinds in a desperate endeavor to get a hold
upon the next probable winner. Spotted
egg combinations have been formed in this
state under various names and different
DISCUSSES. and having lured a number OF
well-meaning but feeble-minded persons
into their ranks. the manipulators are using
the reputable members as q cloak for Do
litical chicanery.
Republicans. men who belong to the par
ty because they believe in its intelligence
and integrity, and those who hope by hon.
orabie means TO hold Office under its au-
spices. should be on their guard against
such traps. The signs have been unmis-
takably given that the better nature of the
people repels all such advances upon their
good works. and has. with rare exceptions
due to concurrent causes. put the stigma
OF disapproval upon candidates who have
no merit of their own in the open ranks of
Republicanism. but depend upon shady
combinations 10 smuggle them into power.
Tacoma has valiantiy and almost unex-
pectedly put an extinguisher upon the lit
tie candle-iights OF remote and darkered
chambers. The party is the better for Il,
and the city and the state will be better for
It
