THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
SYNOPSIS.
January Is, 1873.

January Is, 1873.
To the Legislature:
The year 1874 will occupy an impor.
tant place in the record of cveEtful
periods in the history of this state.
For several years our growth in popu.
lation has been without a parallel in
the history OF the western states. The
great financial distress failed to inter-
rupt - indeed, rather tended to in
crease the immigration which was
pouring into western Kansas; and
each succeeding day brongh; it's quota
of industrious pioneers in search OF
homesteads. And thus il continued
until July last, nj which time. il is be-
licyed By those who have had fayora-
bic opportunities of judging CORRECTLY.
the aggregate population was nearly
double that shown by the census OF
1870. As our prosperity had been I'M
paraileled, so likewise was the disas-
ter in waiting for Us. The grasshop-
pers came, and in single day the crop
upon which our people chiefly rely
brave hearts and strong arms Of our
people will, however, in time, over
come the severity of the disaster, and
in SO far as it affects the state general
IL, to that remedy we can safely en-
trust it. Efforts were early set on
foot TO obtain reliable statistical infor-
nation of the extent OF the disaster.
The information thus obtained has
been complied by the secretary Of the
state board of agriculture, and will be
laid before You.
North Of the Kansas Pscsfic road the
counties which seem to be la the most
destitute coEsiition, are Jewell. Smith.
Phillips, Norton, Decatur. Rocks aud
Osborn, containing population of
%, la. In 1870 these counsiss had but
406 people, and at least three-fourrhs

Presidential Elections.

There is strong sentiment existing
north, south, east and west in favor OF
q reform or change in the prescribed
manner of eleciiDg the President OF
the United States. With Democrat
ic House and Republican Senate pit
ted against each other, upon the recep-
ton of the electoral vote, the whole
country might be precipitated into a
civil war. Senator Morton is urging
bill the passage Of which would Sc
cure the country from any snch peril.
Let that be passed or one covering the
same ground. For one we believe in
the doctrine of q single term. With
such an amendment attached 10 Nor
toms bill, il would be well nigh perfect.
But at all events we hope the present
congress viii not fail 10 pass some
measure of reform touching the cleo
torial vote.
