The official report of the Committee on Elections
Of the Kansas Legislature on the Census Returns
has been received here, and gives very different
conplexon 10 the result as recently announced by
t.,sarsnb That Committee consists of Messrs.
p p Filler. F. NJ Christison, and j. c. Lambdn.
They State, upon information derived from the
clerks of the several counties returned, and MEM
bers representing them, in both branches, that the
returns are very imperfect, and in many counties
only partial returns have been received by the Ex-
ecutiye. They find that Doniphan County has re-
TUNED from four townships Ill votes and pop
ulation Of $500. Yet, from reliable information,
the registers show registered vote exceeding
l,S00 giving an additional population of 5000.
Atchison, returned with 900 votes, and population
OF 1928, has now register 1900, giving an addi-
tiopal pOpul stiOn of 300 Riley County is not re-
turned, in which there are $50 and population
Off. 600. Leavcnworth County has returned a vote
of 3445, and population Of IL, l22. Reliable In
formation gives 10000 as the population. The Dep
uty Clerk Of Lykins County states that between
three and four hundred votes do not appear in the
report giving about LOCO additional population.
Morris. Potawatamie, and Washington Counties
are only partially returned, and in some counties
where there are Blk hundred voters only from fity
TO tive hundred registered votes are reported. In
the five counties above mentioned, population of
LIS is returned and vote of 664; IN the aggre-
gate less than one third Of their actual vote pop
ulstion, which difference if added to the population
Low returned, would swell the total about seven
thousand.
The Committee state that the census returns, as
exhibited in the report of tue Governor show great
pegeCt on the part OF The assessors in many of the
townships and some of the most populOus counties.
They end no returns from the Counties of Clay,
Dickinson. MCGEE, Usage, Wilson, and DORM for
which the smallest estimate made is one hundred
and fifty votes each giving total of 900 votes, and
a population of 400. This calculation il not based
on any large increase of population in those fertile
counties during the last eight months The returns
reported by the Governor show partial and incor-
rect census taken in June, 1859, since when immi-
grafton into Kansas has been unprecedented.
The whole population, as reported by the Cover
nor at the regular session was 40; to which add
theestmates for the foregoing counties only partially
returned and the total would be about 900 to the
LIST Of July 1889 excluding several of the most pop
ulous counties from which only part of the town
ships were returned.
