BREvITIES.

issues call today for the Republican
primaries to be held Tuesday, August
Goth, and the convention, Saturday
August (which appears in another
column. The interests of the party,
and, we believe the people generally,
will be best conserved by paying
closer attention to the primaries at
this time than has been the custom in
the past. Send as representatives fair
minded, broad men, to the conven-
ton who will and are willing for the
moment to lay aside self interest and
put up respectable ticket worthy of
the name it is to bear. Where it can
be properly obtained and intelligently
accomplished, we believe that each
primary should indicate its attitude
toward prominent candidates, and in
order that delegates may be as veil
informed as possible when the conven-
ton assemblies, and thereby enabling
them to assist in carrying out the
preferences of their constituency as
far as their abilities and the circum-
stances will permit.
