because he didn't consider II safe for

Ths Ground Taksn.

ms minority report o. mr. Oltvef,
Of the Kansas Invessivating Commit
tee. has been submitted 10 Congress.
and Is included in the Official publica-
ton. The following are It's concIu-
sions:
In conclusion. the undersigned begs
10 report the following eonclusions. as
he believes. established by the ,eslimo-
ny and sanctioned by the law:
First;-That at the 6rsl election
held in the Territory under the organ.
70 act. for delegate TO Congress. Gen
John w. Whitfield received a pIuraIi.
tytf the legal votes cast. and was du.
ly elected such delegate, as stated 10
the majority report.
Second;-That the Territorial Leg
isiafure wasa legally constituted body.
and had popr 10 pass velid Iams. and
their eneefmenfs are therefore vaiidi
Thlrd;--Thst these laws, when APP
pealsd to. have been used for the pro-
lection Of life. liberty and property.
aud for the maintenance Of law and on
der IN the Territory.
Fourth:--that the election under
which tho sitting delegate. John w.
Whitfield, was held. was In pursuance
OF valid law, and should DO regarded
as valid election.
FifIh:--That A. said Whitfield, nj
said election, received a large number
Of legal votes without opposition, he
was duly elected a. a delegate TO this
body, aud Is entitled 10 n seat on this
floor % such.
Sixih;-That tho election under
which The contestng delegate. Andrew
II. Reeder. claims his seat, was not
held under any law. but In contemplu.
Gus disregard OF all law; and that
Il should only be regarded rs the ex.
preston OF band of malcontenls and
reyoluIionIsts. and consequently sho'd
be wholly regarded by the House.
Seventh:--As 10 whether or no,
Andrew II. Reed,r received n greater
number OF votes OF residents on the
9th than John w. Whitfield did on the
LIST OF October, 1885. no testimony
was taken by the Committee. 40 faI
rs the undersigned knows, nor Is II
material to the issue.
All Of which Is respectfully submit
ted.
NJ. OLIVER.
We are glad 10 see the issue thus
boldly made. In declaring the Kan,
sas Legislature TO be legally consIi
tuted body. and It's enactmenls valid
Mr.. Oliver adheres closely to the Dem
ocratic programme. although he Il
thus compelled TO take grounds from
which many ofthe party shrink. Th'
evidence taken before the Committee
Of which Mr.. Oliver was one, show,
conclusively how the members Of lhi'
Legislature" were elected. Their,
were eighfeen distrlcls:--and, accord
Ing to the census returns. there were
but 1905 legal votes In them all. Ye
5.4e7 were returned as having beer
cast for Pro. Slavery candidates. 7el
for Free-State candidate. and 90 scat
tering--making total OF 6.3o7. o
the whole number ofvotes cast. Il wal
proved that only i.4lo were cast BY
legal voters--while 1900 were lille
gal votes. These illegal votes wer,
cast by men from Missouri. who had
been distributed in advance. and SEN
every Council District In the Territor,
and into every Representative District
but one. In every district these lille
gal votes outnumsered the legal votes
and the elections were entirely control
led by them.
This 10 tie way this illegally consli
tuted Legislature" was elected.

~ The most contemplate char
acter which any one gives old Mr..
