In memorandum recently issued
the New York state board Of health
says that "for cholera to be diffused
from continent to continentit must have
as factors for its cultivation center of
population for its cradle, a ship for les
transport, and number of towns pre-
pared for it's reception and develop
ment." The municipal authorities Of
every city should take the hint and
make thorough cleaning within their
respective jurisdictions.

In answer 10 Tue aDONc VIC VIII eIdVe
that in making the announcement OF
the convention at Garden City it must
not be implied that it is within our pow
to srecall that convention. The Gar
den City convention was called by the
Senatorial committee, in due form, all
of the members of the committee &C.
quiescing in the call and the apportion-
ment of delegates. Some weeks
after a portion of the committee
issue call for a convention at Larned
with the result as is we'll known. The
purpose of the second call it is not our
desire to state. If harmony was desir-
ed why was the call for the Garden City
convention ignored. We have no OBJ
ject in creating discord in the party,
and do not wish any Of the responsible
ity of the present condition of the par
ty. The "division" of the party, if
there exists division after the meet
ing at Garden City, will be due to the
schemers at Larned who, unable to Sc
cure control themselves, seek to divide.
This was the object of the Larned con-
vention, and they did not care who the
candidate might be, and much less do
they care for his election. In order to
secure success and harmony the regular
forms of the party should be adopted.
We should like to ask if it would be
proper for portion Of the National Re-
publican committee to make another
call for a convention to nominate can
didate for President. This is precisely
what the Senatorial committee has done
in this district.

STATE SENATORIAL.
We take the liberty to publish the
following lette:
SPEAREv1LLE, KAs., July 10, 1884.
FRIEND KLAINE-In your paper to-
day you say that another Senatorial
Convention will be held. I hope that
you will, on second thought, and in
consideration of harmony, recall that
convention. We of Hodgeman county,
felt bound to recognize the Larned call
because it was signed by six Of the eight
members of the committee from the or
ganized counties. We vote as, you are
perhaps aware, first for Kenyon, second
for Redd, afterward for Hoole and it
was not until the last ballot and Frost
had received 20 of the 81 votes present,
that he received the votes of Stafford,
Ness and Hodgeman. Having thus
carried the convention, we feel in duty
bound to support him. We held out
for two days, but we wentin that con-
vention TO- support its nominee, and
will do so. 7 am fully aware that the
nomination is unsatisfactory to some of
my best friends and some Of the best
Republicans in Dodge; but it appears
to me that it would be injudicious and
unwlse to create a split in the party
in the district, for, you know it is much
easier to create split than to unite a
divided party. If we become divided
now, it will probably be a number Of
years before we would again get in
shape to do any effective work for the
party and its principles.
The better council is surely in favor
of harmony for in division there is moth
ing but weakness, while united action
there is not only strength, but that
strength, though it may be at first d.
verted from The true course will In due
time come under the guidance of the
best element of the party.
I may be wrong in my views. but
that is the way it looks to me, and l
am strong in the belief that time will
demonstrate the character of the views
which l have thus freely expressed.
Respectfully
w. D. PRATT.
