TsgECONvENTION AND THE TICKET.
Elsewhere We give the proceedings Of
Thursday. The Convention met again yes,
terday, and completed the ticket, adopted a
platform, and adjourned at one o'clock We
conclude our report. For Governor. Jame>
NJ. Harvey received 124 votes, ID. K
Anthony 43 and Thos. A. Osborn % The
Lcavenworth delegation was divided on this
question, as it had been on Congress. Union
would have given SUCCESS for one position OF
the other. But rule or ruin was the fixed
policy. The delegates from other Counties
had more than kind and generous feeling
for Leavenworth. They were enthusi-
asiically our friends.
Let the responsibility be placed where il
belongs-at home when We again hold
primary meetings the people must attend
them and control them. We have long
urged this policy, and think this last defeat
will impress it upon the most apathetic and
the most stupid. And our meetings must be
held in the day time, with no voters but reg.
i~tercd Republicans, and with one vote only
to one man. Vira pocc has been adopted by
the State Convention and will always be the
rule hereafter in all our Conventions State
and County. The next reform must b.
meetings by daylight, for registered voters.
Gov. Harvey came forward and expressed
his thanks in a very appropriate manner.
. We believed when We went to Topeka that
there was a coalition between Harvey and
Clarke. The vote showed that this was moi
true, although nearly all of the Clarke men
were Harvey men. But Gov. Harvey Wa
handsomely nominated by honest voters
from every part Of the State, and his endorse.
ment come. directly from the people. We
have never said or published line agains,
him, although we wanted another man.
For Lieut.. Governor, p. Z. Elder, OF OF
tawa, received 81 votes, John c. Carpen-
Ter, %, David Gordon, of Fort Scott, Al,
and +. S. Nichols, of Anderson, IL. Votes
were changed Immediately and a hand,
some majority given to Mr.. Elder.
For Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, DavidJ Brewer, Of Lcavenworth,
received lI3, Judge Stafford so, Judge Beal
), James o. Rogers %. Mr.. Ncvison ID and
David Brockway 6. No more just tribute
could have been paid to the sterling quail
ties of this able and pure man.
For Secretary of State, VIM. II. Small
wool received 139, VIM. NJ. Irvine 81,
Thos. Moonlight l3 Smallwood is another
needed and splendid victory. 1t
should be remarked that all of
the colorcd, delegates voted ::for Small
wood, although a colonel man was running
against him. And all of the colOred dele
gates voted against Clarke. They have
made manly and noble record in the first
State Convention to which they have been
admitted.
For Auditor of State, A. Thoman was
re-nominated by reclamation. The people
are satisfied with Thoman and Harvey.
For Treasurer, John E. Hayes, of Olathe,
received SO, Geo. Graham As, and John
Francis, Of Allen County, 81. Col. Hayes
lost a leg in the war, but his held and heart
have never been damaged.
For Attorney General A. L. Williams,
commonly called "Archie," man known
and honored all over the State, received 80
votes, J. B. johnson, of Jefferson, 40, with
other votes for II. w. Cook, of Wyandottc,
and VIM. NJ. Matheny, of Baxter Springs.
III. ID. McCarty, Of this city, was nomi-
mated for Superintendent of Schools, over II.
d. Fisher. There was considerable debate
over the vote, but it only developed Col.
McCarty's strength.
John A. Martin presented the platform.
1t was adopted with an amendment in favor
OF the settlers on the UNDECIDED lands. We
shall publish it tomorrow.
The following members OF the State Cen
trail Committee were chosen from the Judi
dicial Districts, and three at large. l. ID.

There arc five Journalists n this
list, and, since this fight has been so largely
made by the press, the selection was eminent
ly wise.
And thus the fight has ended and Honor
is no longer an exile in Kansas.
The Republican party has freed itself
from the stains which defiled it, and it stands
forth now worthy of its name, its principles
and its mission. Our ranks at Topeka were
unbroken and unbrcakable by brides of
money and the promise of Office by Pome-
row and Clarke 1t was the best Conven-
ton ever held in the State; there were the
most brains and manhood in it. 1t was the
embodiment of the virtues of our glorious
State. And the ticket is worthy of
its parentagc. The majority for
it will he about forty thousand. The Legis-
lature elected at the same time will send n
true man TO the Senate, and the triumph
will he driven in and clinchcd when old
Pomeroy's term is out.
This is Heroic and Manly Kansas.
Let the wretched past be forgotten We
love our State above all others, and We are
proud Of the work We have done in redeem
ing it. The people are with us, and the flu
ture is full of auguries of victory as grand as
any won against the Border Ruffians
or the Relels. \ party shows It's true strength
when il casts out its own devils.
MARCHING On.
Ii is Tiea=ant to leave the dusty and wretch
cd reads Of personal and political controversy
and rise to the table land Of peace and whole
