The returns Of the Judges o

was most favorable to the reform
movement that was inaugurated t
purify politics in the District O
Columbia.
Heretofore the best republicans
in the city were barred from at

so on last Wednesday. 1t was

We Iecousecrate ourselves to that

selves on record in favor Of the
policy of having men to administer

not apOlogist for the result of our

Some otherwise good citizens every
now and then set up the complaint
that rings and combines control every
thing in party politics and that there
is absolutely no hope for the country
unless a party not don.ineered by such
cliques succeeds in obtaining power.
They become discouraged and disgust
ed to such an extent as to think that
they would contaminate themselves
by taking an active part in elections.
Such a course is the very one that suits
the ward politician of small calibre for
it enables him to carry through what
ever plans he may have devised. The
only way in which politics car be kept
pure is by honest men taking an act
i've part in all %caucuses, conventions
and elections. If honest men fail to
interest themselves in matters relating
to the public welfare, they should.
blame only themselves when corrupt
men obtain full sway. Ii a party is
corrupt it will not be improved any
by the withdrawal Of It's best members.
Stay in the party and compel it. to re-
form. When a man begins to think
that he is too good to take part in mat
tiers If vital Importance to himself and
society at large, it is about time that
be was translated to a less sinful world.
Every man has a duty TO perform and
he cannot do so by excluding himself
from the rest of mankind.

BADLY RATIFIED.

The demorslized remnant Of the
grand old party in Kansas is the
worst ratified outfit now extant. They
have not a single principle upon
which to base q campaign. They
would like to endorse prohibition but
fear" to offend the resubmissionists.
They would like to say nothing upon
the subject but fear to offend the pro-
hibiionists. They have gone squsrely
back on their professions upon the
silver question in 1890 aud 1891.
Reciprocity has been superseded by a
re-sfirmation Of the doctrine Of q
high protective tariff by the Mime
apolis convention. Nothing is left
but the bloody shirt, and that is so
badly tattered and torn that it will
not stand the storms Of the campaign
The ticket placed in the field by the
Peoples party is absolutely unssssil-
able. 1t commands the respect and
confidence of honest men irrespeo-
tive Of party. On the other hand the
men who are coming to the front in
the Republican party are recognized
tools Of corporations and the very
worst kicksters in the state. The
poor old thing is in a bad way.

A FINAL WORD CONCERNING MR.. I'VE

A FINAL WORD CONCERNING MR.. IVES,
We now commend the action of the
board of railroad assessors to the
prsyerful consideration of the Repub.
lican party. We have no disposition
or desire to kick a man after he is
down. We regard Mr.. Ives as a
weak, rather than a wicked man.
He has been surrounded by the most
outlandish band of cut-throsts that
eyer disgraced a state, ever since
his election to the Office Of attorney
general. The Influences that have
been brought to bear upon HIM, have
overpowered him. His better iudg-
ment has been subverted. He is the
unfortunate Victim OF combination
of circumstances that might have
proved fatal to many another man
who now feels, perhaps, that he would
have been strong enough under like
circumstances to stand for the right
regardless of the odds against him.
We regret very much that it be-

JOHN w. BRE1DENTHAI, the new
chairman of the state central commit
tee Of the Peoples party, is without
peer in that peculiar ability and
.sagacity requisite to conduct a sue
cessful campaign. His election to
that position was in itself triumph
for the Peoples party. The cam
paign under his administration will
be one of organization and education.
We hope to see the people everywhere
yield ready compliance to his every
wish. We have a skilled and expert
enced general now at the head. Let
the rest of us al be soldiers in the
ranks, and cheerfully follow the lead
of our commanding officer. By doing
so success is assured.
