THE ELE, TloS OUTLOOK.

There is a perceptible ripple in the local
political current, aud the spring election
is demanding more than ordinary thought
and consideration. There is not little
fault-inding among property owners aud
taxpayers, and call for further retrench-
ment in two or three directions Is de-
manded. But AT no time in the history OF
the city has the Republican party shown
so solid and determined a front The
howl of the Pop. and Fusion organs
of ''old rings" is wasted breath.
Republicans are not consulting the
opinions of such organs or of that
class OF men who helped to precipitate
the present disgracefuI state of affairs IN
Kansas. Nor does the criticism Of the
fellows who have an eye on this or that
place weigh or count for anything.
Fusion rule, nor Pop rple nor Indepen-
dent rule are wanted. but rather aD honest
straightout party responsibility. All that
the Republicans have to do is 10 nominate
sound, uuobjectiOuabie men, who are tax
payers themselves, and a sweeping Repub-
lican victory is assured, despite al! LEVEL
ing's police force can do or al that LEVEL
ing's newspapers may say.
