two hundred and ninety-twO members in all
When that superintendent was made Kansa.
contained . population Of 36i, 39y-and was
consequently entitled to three members.
Since then, as We all know, the growth of the
State has been marvellous; constant stream OF
immigration has been pouring in from all parts
of the country; new settlements have followed
each other in rapid succession until cultivation
has reached our remote borders, and trans
formed the ''Great American Desert" into vast
fields Of grain.

In view of these facts, and believing, il an
additional member should be elected from tie
State at large, that upon q proper showing he
would be admitted. therefore take the lib.
erty of announcing myself an independent
candidate for the position. do this with the
belief that if elected and admitted can be of
service to the State. Many citizens of Kansas
have Just claims against the General Govern
nent for property captured or destroyed by
hostile Indians, which will require legislative
action before they can be paid. The State also
has claims amounting in the aggregate t.
large sum of money, which will require addi.
tional legislation by Congress. ''4 f..
All of these claims have been presented and
some of them acted upon, while Others are still
pending. We have secured decision which
gives the State in round numbers 270, 900 acres
Of school lands. Also a favorable decision for
five per cent Of the net proceeds of sales of
lands in Indian reservations, which, when all
Of said lands are sold, will net the State over
$40O, 1000. The amount now due on lands al
ready sold is $40, 900. %.
A bill appropriating s47O,726 to reimburse
the State for money expended in repelling in
vasions, and suppressing Indian hostilities,
passed the Senate last session, and is now
pending in the House. This bill includes out
standing Price raid certificates assumed by the
State. t
A bill providing for the appointment of
commission tn audit and adjust the claims of
citizens of Kansas and Nebraska for property
captured, stolen or destroyed by Indians on
the frontier has also been introduced and is
now pending.
These measures are right and just within
themselves but will require all the power that
can be brought to bear to secure legislative
action thereon. Similar claims from the older
States have long since been adjusted and paid,
and it would seem ours would follow ~ q
natter of right but such is the fact hun.
