PUT ONLY REPUBLICANS
 ON GUARD. .
Mayor Elton Responsible For Good Government and Wants Men in Sym pathy With His Action-- What is Heard On the Street.

oVmmenLS are dll Ln& rage now r9s @ garding the work of the new city adk ministration and judging by what onf can pick up on the streets nobody apf pears very much surprised at what hax been done What was the use.H said one of Mayor Elton's right bowers, ffl appointing democrats or others who might reasonably be expected not tu be in sympathy with the adnn1nisfra tion politically or otherwise The re{ publican party holds itself responsiblN for this administration and 1t is only Z fair that it should see that none bu& those who are of and in full accord
 with the organization be put on guard
 It IS admitted that Mayor KiIduff wa9 hampered onaccount Of opposing forcasz in his own ranks as we'll as on the rss publican side of the house and i1las much as the electors have put Us in k position to safeguard ourselves from this sort of interference it 7s our dufx { to take advantage of it. What is th 4 use of divided responsibilityf For tlls :. first time to my knowledge the affaie$ of the city have been entrusted who'll;
 to one party and if it fails to meet thej expectations of the people everybod5 5I will know where to look. The rel tirement of Mr. Reilley or MT osBraer
 may be regarded as departure fTo1u{ strict business methods, but you nlg1et
 bear in mind that there is room fot<
 honest citizens to differ about thf6<
 Pm not aware that any discrininaf fIof
 will be shown towards the clegicif force or ordinary employees of the eifx. on account of political preferences; but
 all of us are of one mind regart1iu<
 what should be done. with reference
 to men clothed with executive authoE~| ity."
 This is quite different from what
 many were led to believe during the election, but is exactly what people
 who cannot be fooled too easily by tlae wide awake politician knew was afnis
 cd at. The bait worked like 3 charm
 and those who bit at it appear 10 he
 the ones who are doing the most fa7
 finding. The other fellows are sss
 fled and cheerfully admit they
 nothing towards helping Mayor Eltf'll
 and looked for no recognition frolil
 him. This is the way democrats lVplS
 at it but large numbers of repuhl lics t4s lon,t know what to make of the tai;1z
 ton. The Third ward that did sik handsomely for the .administru ion 'ias
 not been treated any better than tic
 fourth and fifth. It's alderman got t ffe cold shoulder and some of them WouIa like to know why But they will have to swallow their indignation and seffle down to business as the tail end of the powers that be. It is said that the third ward asxef* for much and as result they reeel y*i ed nothing. But these things will not discredit the Elton adnninist ton ! it makes hit the public will appreel* ate it's efforts, but having promised ss much it will have to do greet Thsn8& to come up to what is expected Of 5t It seems the department of euFacH4; ton overdid things last night tn fn4 matter of reducing salaries EdsTaEe E. Tyrrell who was appointed truanN officer to succeed ". J. Hurley says hA will not accept the appointment at fhS cut rates. If this be so the board will have to try again or put the ssls' ary where 1t was before at the $lsQg5
 mark. which many consider small r<s! muneration for the job. Mr. IsyrreH 1z said to be the only man the KslseE| wing of the party succeeded in getting place for and it is looked upon as rather small piece of business to nak8 him one of themselves and then ta Ke| go5n year off the salary.
