To-morrow's Republican primarie.

To-morrow's Republican Primaries.
The Intelligenccr believes that It is
quite unnecessary 70 caution the Re-
publicans to make the best selections
from the various candidates to be yo ted
for as city officials and members OF
council at the primaries tomorrow, for
the Republican party has a habit OF
correcting any mistakes It has made.
In other words It Is self-regenerating.
The suggestions made in the various
wards for members OF council certainly
present material from which a ticket
can be selected that will challenge the
excellence OF the Democratic nominees.
The Republican party is as earnest for
reform In certain lines as those who
loudly proclaim for reformation through
independent efforts. At the same time
1t Is conservative, and Its candidates IL
elected. hope to do one thing at a time.
Genuine reform is practical, not senti-
mental. and as we are reliably Inform
ed that this vast universe Of ours was
not constructed In one day the Republi-
can party pledges Itself to be progress
sive not precipltate in It's elevation OF
the moral tone OF the city. In view; Of
the conditions that now confront It the
only appeal the Intelllgenceri makes to
the party Is for full and free expres-
sion OF Its sentiments at the primaries

in one Hundred Years.

The closing century has chronicled no
greater achievement than that attained
b.. the United States In its commercial
and industrial progress, standing as it
does at the threshold OF the twentieth
century with an open record Of the most
marvellous character-a record unequal-
ed In the history of nations. It ought
to make the bosom OF every patriotic
American sswell with pride in contem-
plating what this country has accom-
plished since the ninetesash century
was heralded in 1901, and when the re-
pu5lic was yet in the formative stage
comparing the early struggles for mere
existence on the map Of the world to the
proud heights ut has mounted and the
supremacy 1t enjoys among the ma
tions of the earth in the closing years
Of the dying century.

The Honorable Grover Cleveland. late
President Of the United States, three
times candidate. once defeated and
twice elected by accident, has emerged
from the solitude Of his originality. re
vived. in fact, from his "innocuous
desuetude," is now Preaching q
crusade against Bryan and Populisn.
His utterances are not at all remark
able. They are only the reflections of
mind long made up to again pose as
the Moses OF the wandering Democracy.
Cleveland's greatest wisdom has always
been in his silence while the fools talked
but, for the first time In his career, we
believe he has allowed his anxiety to
run away with his Judgment.
His bitter references to Bryan and
Populism as the destroying elements
that have inslnuated themselves in the
Democratic party and brought upon 1t
humiliation and disastrous defeat, will
forever antagonIze those who supported
the Nebraskan and his fallacious poll
cies. And his plea for returning to the
first principles" OF Democracy"-pre-
sumably those on which he surrepu-
tiously crawled Into the white house
will not address itself with any warmth
and confidence to those who suffered
under his last administration, and who
have been relieved under the prosper
GUS administration Of his successor.
The first principles" OF Democracy
mean free trade. The false gods" the
Democracy are low worshipinG are
not worse than the evil days OF hunger
horror and misery Of Clevelana's time
That Is what defeated Bryan as much
as free silver"
