Topeka, Kan, Aug. 10.-SOon after
calling the convention to order the com
mlttee on resolutions, through the chair
man, John Il. Hudson, reported as fol
lows:
We, the Republicans of the state Of
Kansas, in delegate convention assem-
bled, affirm our faith in and adherence
10 the principles of the Republican par
~, and hereby expressing our confidence
in our present national and state admin.
! istration, We pledge ourselves to their
| support and announce the following as
our declaration of principles:
Res0l1ed, That we declare ourselves
Enthusiastically IN favor of the prohibit
| ton of the manufacture and sale of in-
| toxicatlng liquors as a beverage, and
| pledge ourselves to such additional leg
| islation as shall secure the most rigid
enforcement of the constitutional pro-
visions upon this subject in all parts OF
| the state.
ResOEUed, That we demand the enact
ment of such laws as will prevent IN
| lust discrimination of railroad compan-
les, and will provide for such freight
and passenger tariff as shall fully pro-
tect the interests of the people.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor OF the
strict and immediate enforcement of all
| laws upon the statute book which at
tempt to control railway and regulate
| them in their connections with the peo-
pie; further that we ask of the Republi-
can majority of the United States con-
gress, to pass such laws as will compel
the railways of this state to take patents
to their lands granted them from the
public domain TO them, and that the
prosperity of this state shall pay its just
proportion of the taxes levied for the
support OF the state
ResOlued, That we request the next
legislature to submit such an amend
ment to the constitution of the state as
will secure to women the right of suf-
frage.
ResOLoed, That we request our delega-
ton in congress to secure such an
amendment to the revenue laws as will
prevent the issue of license as stamps to
sell intoxicating beverages to any person
other than those authorized so to do un-
der the state laws.
After the report was read, Col. Mar
tin, of Atchison, offered the following
amendment to the resolution in refer
ence to female suffrage.
ReSOLUed, That we request the legisla
ture to submit to a vote of the women of
the state the question OF wonan's suf-
frage.
Col. Martin thought it best not to
thrust this question into the canvass be-
fore, but expressed himself in favor of
the measure if women themselves want
| to vote.
The amendment was opposed and the
original resolution was urged by Gener
al Kelley, of Coffey county, and others,
in brief and pointed speeches.
The amendment was voted down, and
the ayes and nays were demanded on
the adoption of this plank of the plat
form, which resulted as follows: Total
343-years 234; nays 1879.
/ Hon. L. ]. Perry, of Paola, offered the
following, which was adopted without
opposition: =.
Kansas indOrse the veto of the eXtrava-
CANT harbor and river bill 10y the presi
dent, and also the action of the Kansas
delegation in congress in upholding the
veto by their votes.
The convention then proceeded to the
nomination of a candidate for governor
The vote resulted as follows: ST. John,
| 2S7: Thatcher, CO; johnson, IL; Col
Martin, 2. This result was received with
demonstrations of Joy and committee
was appointed to bring the nominee be-
| fore the convention. He WAS received
amidst cheers and tossing OF hats and
made brief and very excellent speech,
returning thanks for the honor and com
plimenting the Republican party, claim
| ing that his triumph was for principle
and not for himself.
The convention then proceeded to
vote for lieutenant governor, which re-
suited as follows:
Whole vote, 367; necessary to choice,
1874; FinDey, 1872; Munsell, 50 Jetmore,
20; Anderson, AZ; Sternberg, 26.
The convention is now taking the
second ballot Finney will be nominal
ed. It is rumored this morning that
combination has been made which will
renominate Francis for treasurer and
Smith for secretary of state. This is not
very extensively credited.
Judge Brewer was nominated by ac-
clamation.
The eighty delegates opposed TO st.
st. John in caucus agreed TO go solid
for Francis for treasurer. We are still
hopeful for Eastman.
On the female suffrage question, Lyon
county voted for and against.
ThG second ballot for lieutenant-gov-
arnor was as follows: Finney, PAL; Nun
sell. SO; Jetmore, 145. The vote for
secretary of state was-Smith, 231 /;
Foulks, 1873.
Over the office of auditor there was a
warm contest The first ballot was as
follows: McCabe, 105; McFadden, 80 /;
Mohler, II; Taylor, 40; Slower, % /;
Nicholas, AZ; Spaulding, "a; Green. 1.
McCabe, it will be remembered, is the
| colored man from Graham county, and
the county clerk of that county. st.
| John wanted him nominated and there
was much enthusiasm in his behalf. A
large delegation of colored men were
present helping him.
The second ballot resulted as follows:
McCabe, 1853; McFadden, 80; Mohler SO
| TAYLOR, IS; Slower, 90; Nicholas, 10;
| SpauldiBg, "a. A boisterous move was
here made to adjourn until two O'Clock
d. m, which after roll call was carried
| by small majority. This is regarded
on the part of many as an attempt to de-
feat McCabe.
| During the dinner hour active efforts
| were being made by Mothers friends TO
| beat the colored man. The success of Mob
Ter will undoubtedly benefit Eastman,
as the two are now endeavoring to unite
their power against McCabe and Fran
els.
On the fifth ballot for auditor of state,
McCabe was nominated, the vote being
as follows: McCabe, 1888; MOhler, lab
On the announcement there was wild
rejoicing. The result was claimed &c
have been brought about by the antiSt
John vote, and that element was much
elated
