By this count the vote stood 80 to 80
instead of tie, as reported. This is accord.
ing to the Leavenworth Conservative. The
Record has it "a for us and 80 against, in
its footings; but if it will count the names
published in its paper, it will find that there
are SO recorded against us and 80 for US
According to the above vote, as given by
! the Conservative, there are only IS votes
| in ali-ten votes less than the entire mum
| Der of the House. This is as near right as
we can get it from the bungled published
report. According to the Conservative
ten members did not vote, as follows: Chris
| tie of Miami Gordon of Davis, Hidden o
Nemaha, Hiner of Anderson, Holinburg o
Washington, Ide of Leavenworth, Irwin o
Brown, Johnson of Doniphan. Vaughan o
Douglas, and Mr.. Speaker Kellogg of Leav
enworth. Judging from the way otheI
members, from the same counties with the
absentees, voted on the question, seven o
them would have voted for Lawrence, anC
only three for Emporia; so that the matter
would not have been helped on our side BY
their voting.
Emporia received II votes from the coun
ties south of the Kaw river, and Lawrence
26-nearly all from the border and south
eastern counties. Atchison county wen
unanimously for US, and Doniphan unani
mously for Lawrence; while Leavenwortl
pursued the cowardly policy of going half
and half. She is bidding for trade, auc
don't wish to offend any portion of the State
Southwestern Kansas Except Osage) hung
together to man. She did her duty.
