Editor L. NJ. .Axline of the Cresset
was very frank in his editorial COM
ment last week. 1t was the first
time the Cresset was given over to
a candid discussion of political prin-
ciples for months and the candor
with which the Republican platform
was treated has been the subject of
considerable comment. Mr.. Axfine
takes the position that the Kansas
Republican platform is only re-
iteration of the Populist platforms
of the early COS and contains moth

not endorse any part of the plat
form but will support the ticket for
the reason that the Democratic plat
form embodies all, and more, than
the Republican platform, in the way
of radicalism We did not expect
this admission from this source and
it is all the more refreshing. In
Kansas, Mr.. Axline and his brother
standpatters are without party.

platform" of a negative nature.
He also caused the same platform
to be published and circulated in
card form and the highways and
byways are literally strewn with
them. Mr.. Martin enumerates sew
eral things he will not do, If elect
ed--things that no public officer
h could do and retain his office or
keep out of the penitentiary; hence
the effusion is superfluous and bar
rem. While we have very grave
doubts about Mr. Martins ability
