AN "OFF YEAR"

We see in the public Journals and
hear on the street that this is an '.oH-
year" in politics; and this is thought
to explain if not TO justify the appar-
ent apathy of the people in regard to
political matters. But that can hard
,y be called an of-year in which the
elections may determine for two years
the @oliticd complexion of the nation
al house of Representatives. and per-
haps also of the Senate In Kansas
no election of equal Importance has
ever occurred. For the first time We
choose seven representatives to Con-
gress, thus giving the state more than
double the power it has ever before ex-
ercised in the national councils. w
also choose House of Representations
which is to elect Senator Plumb's sue
cessor, and still further, We elect AN
entire state ticket, from Governor
down. If, therefore, the Republican
voters Of.Kansas regard it as of any
importance that the seven votes of the
state shall be east in the next congress
on the side of order, progress, and good
government; that the Eext Legislature
shall reward honest and faithful SER
vice by rejecting Senator Plumb; and
shall maintain the high reputation Of
the state by taking 10 backward step
on moral questions; andthat the state
administration shall be in accord with
the sentiment of d vast majority of the
people; then they should Immediately
get rid Of their off-year indifference,
shake off their apathy, and determine
every one for himself, as If the entire
result depended upon his individual
vote, that he will go to the polls on the
9TH of November, and Vote the ticket,
the whole ticket, and nothing but the
ticket.

The Democrats are resuming their
old role of obstructionists in Indiana.
The only issue of the present CAM
paign in that State, is simply whether
the people shall be given the opportu-
nifty 10 vote on an amendment t. their
constitution. The Democratic party,
dominated by the liquor interests. Is
afraid of the result of such vote and
SO is moving heaven and earth to keep
it from being taken. The Republic
cans take exactly theopposite position,
and they are right, everlastingly right,
They may not win this fall, but the
victory will only be delayed.

We have met during the cam
paign Republicans, professedly OF the
true blue stripe, who are in the habit
of prefacing their objections to the tick
etwith the remark, ''Of course expect
TO vote the straight ticket, but
Now what comes after that "but" is do
ing a vast deal Of mischief. Whether it
takes the direction of anti-prohibition,
anti-St. John, anti-McCabe, or wheth
er it darkly hints with kind of eXul-
tation at the ''lessonn the old party is
going to get, its influence upon waver-
ing Republicans is perDicious. A
ticket that is good enough to vote is
good enough to commend I'd to work
for. We prefer to say TO all corners,
"Of course l shall vote the straight
ticket. AND all the influence / have
shall go to induce others to do like
wise.n

protection from these articles, and it

ResOIced, That the honor and glory
of the Republic, its continued peace,
prosperity and progress viii! be best
served by the perpetuation and con-
tinued success of the Republican party.
We declare our fidelity to its principles
as expressed in the Chicago platform of
1880, and as further embodied in its
great history from its organization to
the present time.
Ioesoired, That in the tragic death Of
President Garfield our country has suf-
fared Il depiorable loss, and the Repub

Grated Il noble and heroic life to the
vindication of its great purposes.
Resolred, That we have faith in the
prudent and sagaciOus administration
Of President Arthur and believe il will
result in promoting the best interests Of
the country.
ResOlred, That the presence in our
midst of IA serviie race of aliens, incapa-
tle of aSSinlIiating with our institute OnS

society. The relief extended to our
people by the passage of a law excIud-
