Business men are Un.t IN declaring
that such declarations were not only
untrue. but burtful to the best interests
of the community. The sentiment
everywhere was that II the yaporings
continued the business interests OF the
city would be injured.
Adam Borshel, president Of the
Northwest Business Mems association.
said: II can hardly express my indig-
nation at such an atrocious insult,
hurled at the Sesidents and officials Of
Philadelphia by Bishop Potter and his
followers. What right had they to
denounce the city in such virulent
terms? AT present Philadelphia is in
its zenith Of business triumph. Never
has business been so universally good.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ELECTION
The Republican primary elections
will be held on Thursday next, and the
city and ward conventions will be held
on the following day. The stalwart
Republicans leaders have for the nom
ination of receiver Of taxes agreed
upon John w. Davidson, a retired man
ufacturer and a veteran of the civil
war, who served his country valiantly
in both the army and the navy from
1861 to 1865.
The Wanamaker-David Martin in
sursents, with their so-called reform
allies, are working up a game in which
they hope to make a deal with the
Democrats on the local ticket. as they
did on their fusion candidates for the
legislature. They were not very sue
cessful before the people last Novem-
Der, but they seem determined to try
il again.
BY attacking the Ashbridge admins
tration, the Wanamakerites hope to
discredit the Republican organization.
They are resorting to misrepresenta-
tion and abuse similar to their tactics
in the state campaigns of the last few
years, but they do not seem to realize
that the plain people have awakened
to their game and are not being fooled.
