made as follows:
Permanent Organization reported in
favor of Hon. John r. GOOdin, Of Allen

Of Montgomery, as secretary and assis-
tant secretary.
Chairman Harris appointed Messrs.
Emory, Sallee and Lewis a committee
to escort Judge Goodin to the chair.
In accepting the position Judge
Goodin briefly addressed the conven-
ton arraigning the Republican party
of Kansas for its disregard of the peO-
pies interests and abandoning all its
principles to follow the hobby of sim
gle man. He showed up the chican-
cry and insincerity Of the Republican
leaders in their late convention asking
for adjustment of exorbitant railroad
rates when they have had for twenty
years control of the State and did moth
ing for the people. d. D.. Haskell's
course in Congress voting for the per-
petuation of the protective tariff was
sharply criticised as well as the profit
gate congress i'm which he served.
Judge GoOdin finished by a witty al
fusion to the st. John clans as the REM
nant ranks of the "late Republican
party"

The report of the committee on reso-

Resolued, 1st. That we are unalter-

demand Of our representatives and SEN
atOrs in congress such immediate Ma
tional legislation as will result in a
tariff for revenue only.
Resolved, I'd. That railroad corpO-
rations are the creations of the people
and appropriate Observation-Disclosures
and State-should be enacted to pre-
vent them from extortionate freight
tariff and compel respect for the public
interests, and we arraign the Republi-
can party in Kansas and in congress
for their inexcusable neglect of: the
rights of the people in failing to provide
any relief against the unjust discrimin-
alton and excessive demands made by
these corporations.
ResoIUed, That we denounce the last
Republican congress as in every re-
gard unfaithful to the people, and es-
pecially condemn Dudley c. Haskell
in proving himself false to every trust
reposed in him except those placed in
his charge by corporations and protect
ed manufacturers.
Resolved, That we demand a civil
