YES, THE WHOLE TICKET.

II the speech of Colonel Martin ut
Junction City had been made on The
day that he was nominated, there
would have been no resubmission con-
vention. If it had been published af-
ter its first delivery at Salina, that
convention would have adjourned
without passing resolutions in sup
port of Click. Ii the plan OF the
campaign had been organized at the
beginning of it, ON the platform Of
Colonel Martin, no opposition to him
would have shown itself. There
should not be single Republican to
find fault with Colonel Martin on The
prohibition question. His argument
is simply impregnable. lie says what
the Commonwealth mas always m
sisted upon, that prohibition, while n
part of the constitution, should
be treated like all other par Is
of that instrument, aud every legiti-
mate effort that is possible should
be made TO carry out its provisions.
No party can afford 10 adopt Il plat
form which favOrs notification of law.
No candidate can afford to take any
ground that even squints toward such
notification. And we say. further,
that no party can afford 10 take the
ground that when there is demand
on the part of Il large number OF the
people to vote on proposed change
in The constitution, that their d I'm md
shall not be granted. II il equally
certain that the Republican party has
taken no such position. We cannot,
for the life OF us, see how any Repub-
lican, in view of the platform aud of
Colonel Martins position, can refuse
to vote for him for Governor. Ii
seems TO us that all wings of The party
can now unite in support, moi oni, Of
Blaine aud Logan, but of the whole
state ticket.-COmmOnw

Over two hundred house owners in
Detroit have joined a society to en-
courage the removal of front fences
and the identifying of lawns. Ii is
claimed That much has been added to
the appearance Of the city during the
past two years through their efforts.
Still here in Wichita where there is no
call for fence because no animal of
any species is allowed to run at large,
there is n continued struggle 10 sur
round houses with fences. An artis-
tic, light, airy looking iron fence prob
ably adds 10 the attraction of home
surroundings, but if the amounts put
into lumber fences in this city were
expended on the lawns and yards the
money would count for much more
than il does now.

first floor scaffolding in his decent to the
ground injuring his back, but how serious
ly cannot yet be determined. He was pick.
ed up insensible. Being man past the
middle Of life, and being very heavy, it is
feared that his injuries, il not fatal.

from Iowa here. and as far as known was
an honest, temperate and industrious man
and a good mechanic. 1t Is said he has q
wife but no children. Until the reaction
sets in, the doctoru under whose care he was
Immediately placed, cannot determine the
extent Of the injuries. He was taken to
his home on South Market street, where
every attention is given him.
