CALL FOR LEAGUERS.

President Hoch and Secretary sheldon
I.sue thu Seventh Annual Call.
President E. w. Hoch of the Kansas
Republican league has issued the follow
ing call for the seventh annual meeting
of the league, which is to be held in To-
peka Thursday, April 5:
To the members of the Kansas Republican
League and Republican Clubs of Kansas.
A year ago the "great victory of re-
form with big r was consummated in
state and nation. The people wanted
"a change" and they got it. No mistake
was made about that Smokeless furnaces
in countless numbers, millions of Idle
workmen, business paralysis everywhere,
decentralization at home and disgrace
abroad, a great majority in con gress
unable TO get a quorum, old soldiers
trembling every time they go to the
postoffice, all these things attest the
fact that they people of this nation got
what they wanted for change. In the
state the "change'' is equally well at
tested. Two state officials convicted of
crime in the courts, two permitted to
resign in disgrace, an attempt made to
GUST fifth, serious charges made by
that one against the head of this great
''reforn," sixth bounced, others awful
uneasy, the state institutions mismanaged,
revolution attempted, civil war almost
inaugurated, the courts and the law de-
fed, anarchy in high places-all these
things, the record of single year of
in this state. But the people have had
| enough of this terrible experiment. The
1 result in this state last year. and the re-
suit in Ohio, in Iowa, in Pennsylvania,
and everywhere else where elections
have been held within the past six
months, attest the fact that another
| change is wanted,
The good work in this league in the
campaign last year is recognized by all.
Let it be more efficient in the greater
battle of 1891
