THAT reform, which the hest elements
of the Republican party OF the Fifth dis
trict have so long sought To bring about,
has now every prospect Of becoming an
accomplished fact.
The gross abuses that have grown up
through long series of years of contin-
uous power in the hands of few I'M
SCrupulous politicians, seem certain OF
being abolished, and the re-iuauguration
made sure by the high standard OF per-
sonal honesty and fidelity to public in
terests, which the party once so nobly
maintained. Earnest and unseltish men
have worked long and faithfully to these
ends, and every indication now points to
a full fruitlon of their hopes and labors.
The monopollsts have, through their
servile tools, all too long welded the
power of the Republican party, for their
own ACCOMPLISHMENT, and to the in jury
of the interests of the masses. Having
by long effort and the lavish expenditure
of time and money secured control of an
almost perfect system of organization,
with Nelson, Gilman, and others of the
ring in charge as lieutenants, they have
gone onstrengthenlng and charging their
schemes for plundering the people, die
tating nominations, crushing opposition,
and outraging public sentiment with the
shamelessness of their greed and methods
They were so blinded by their success,
they were utterly unable to
see, or appreciate the fact, that
the people were becoming more
and more awakened to their tyranny and
rascalities, and when e. F. Kindred's
name was first mentioned as q candidate
to represent the district in congress, these
corruptionists of the political and monop.
olists' ring. scarcely deigned to notice it,
so sure were they of having the Republi-
can party of the district bound hand and
foot and unable to make any effective re-
slstance to their unholy conspiracies.
But the name of Kindred seemed to have
the magic effect of the call of Roderick
Dhu; at once those Republicans who had
so long chafed under the rotten rule of
Nelson and his fellow cormorants, be-
gan to rally to kindred's support, recog-
nizing with unerring instinct that in
him, they would find leader of the
highest ability and courage-one who,
untalnted by any connection with the
corrupt politics and politicians of the
Ring, was, with his widely known char
acter for strict honor and integrity, wise
judgment, prompt decision, tenacity of
purpose, devotion to and large interest
in the welfare and development of the
district, the man of all others TO force
the hold of the Ring from the throat of
the party, and bring the schemes of the
monopolists to naught.
The Young Republicans, who, although
forming SO large and important an ele-
ment in the district, have been so sys-
tematically and persistently sat upon,
and forced to remain unnoticed and un-
heeded-are for Kindred to man.
In the splendid vigor of young man.
hood himself, no more fitting and ac-
ccptable representative of the young
blood of the Republican party. could be
found.
The worth, the intelligence, the bust
ness, the reform, in fact, every progress
sive element, is rapidly crystalizing
around Kindred, and the prospects are
most cheering for his triumphant cleo
ton, when we will have a Representa-
tive in Congress, who-much as those
who know him best feel he is capable of
doing-will surprise our people, by the
thorough, intelligent and vigorous man.
ner in which he will watch over and
labor for the interests of our district.
His will net be the work of the political
hack, intent on scraping a few dollars
into his own pocket, but of the clear
Drained, far-seeing statesman, whose
greatest pleasure and highest honor will
be in watching over the interests of the
people, and securing every possible aid to
the development of the districts i'm
mense and inchoate resources We pre-
dict the Republicans of the Fifth district
will roll up such majority for Kindred
as will put a quietus upon the pine land

long time to come.
