say, rather. the Legislature of Kansas which
has been imposed upon that pcopc--madc
provision. about year ago. for calling con-
vention to form a constitution, and they laid
their plans in such way that they had the
power in their own hands. They took reg
istry, or pretended to take a registry of the
voters. They made the registry so as to give
themselves a majority. They apportioncd the
representation throughout the State, and out
of thirty-five counties, TO nineteen counties
they gave no representation at all =; all the
delegates were from the other sixteen. And
that convention met and adopted what is
called the "Lecompton Constitution "A
