ncpeE CITY, KAs.. Oc.. 7th 1884
We, your committee On credentials, submit the
following report:
Under the instructions of the convention, We
proceeded to examine into the credentials Of A.
Evarts, OF Howell, and proxy Of D. NJ Frost we
found 10 proper or dentals to any delegate from
that township: nor any proper evidence that any
primary meeting had been held in that voting pre-
cinct.
For which reason and the further reason that D.
N. Frcst was not resident Of said voting precinct
and could not represent the interest, We rejected
his claims to seat as member of this committee
or vote by reason Of said alleged proxy in this
convention.
The following delegates are entitled &c seats in

DODGE CITY TOWNSHIP
We would say to the convention that there wes
no contest except in Dodge City, that there is g
misunderstanding regarding the authority 10 call
or az the time for voting IL said voting precinct
that concluding that the Republican Central Com
Inittee of eaid township has the authority. They
utterly failed to fix the time and pronulgate the
thing by publishing notice in any newspaper or
by posting printed or written circulars in any
place within the limits Of said precinct that tao
only evidence that this committee has s q certf-
cate attached to their credentiaI bit promulgated
published Or otherwise made known to the Repub-
lican voters OF said township That the Republi-
Can committee Of said township are generally of
gross negligence TO such az extent that their acts
convince your committee that their intention YVES
not TO promote the interests Of the Republican
voters OF said township; that proper list OF
voters WAS handed to your committee. That list
comprising 1856 votes was handed Us, that the
friends OF said ticket concluded to your committee,
upon examination made in presence Of yoIT COM
uittee, that said list contained the names OF
large number of persons who openly affiliated with
the Democratic yarty, including delegates to the
Democratic convention. That six of the hundred
and thirty-six votes were cast for the contesrirg
delegation.
That the delegation claiming seats in this con-
vent;on by reason OF said election ss heard by P.
G. Reynolds.
That the contcsting delegation headed by G. S.
Emerson claims to be elected by reason Of one
hundred and thirteen votes cast in another and
different place without the authority pretended or
real Of any member of the Republican cannlittee
save the chairman Of the county committee, by a
conversation had between said chairman and one
e. D. Swan upon some points which said gentle
man differ by reason of which conversation, the
said Swan caused the notices attached TO these
credentials % be published in the Times and Cow
Boy Of this city, which was the only pretended au-
thor;ty, on which said votes were cast. And while
your committee believe that many good Gepubli-
cans voted at both of said polls, yet by reason of
the culpable negligence Of members of said town
ship committee in failing TO designate any proper
place and they believe they had the power in fixing
the hours in which SAID polls should open and close
and Giving and reasonable notice to tbo r.
peblcan voters when so many different ways and
means were in their power to use on the one
hand and the apparent intention to thwsrt the de-
