ton to report back TO the Democratic con-
vention the action Of the Resubmission
convention: Messrs. Clement, Hook,
Thomas, Jones and Jamison.
On motion the chair was requested TO
appoint another committee Of five 10 wait
on Mr.. Robinson and bring him before
the convention and the following were de
tailed: Messrs. Payne, Baker, Swords,
Gluck and Allen.
On imperative calls Mr.. Banta addressed
the convention thanking them for this adj
ditional honor which he scarcely felt he
deserved. He said it was quite
unexpected and IL both conventions had
not thrust the honor upon him he would
feel the "Reminiscences had made a
mistake. Since both bodies had
named him he would make the best fight
he knew how for the cause which was sure
TO be victorious in the fall. He reminded
all that they would be expected 10 work,
also knowing that a united effort was all
that was wanting TO success. He felt the
time had come when the Resubmssionists
had put their shoulders 10 the wheel and
the result would show with what glorious
effect
The committee appointed to wait on Mr..
Robinson then reported with the nominee
in person.
After thanking the convention in a few
well chosen words Mr.. Robinson said that
since two conventions under two separate
names had united with one object in view
he would not be surprised il that object
was accomplished. He could count up
quite an encouraging number of votes.
The Democrats who had nominated him
had promised 10 support him. the Resub-
mission Republicans who had also nomi-
mated him would support him, a good
many Republicans who were dissatisfied
with the results Of that 5000 majority
would naturally support him, and he felt
sure the old soldiers would. lie said he
could name other classes that would. also
but he had already named enough 10 elect
him. An old soldier had recently pub
lished the following figures, which the
speaker had not been able 10 verify but
which were near enough for the purpose,
that Indiana had on the pay roll 5000
soldiers, Ohio 5000 and Kansas 1900
whereas. there were as many old soldiers
resident in Kansas as both the other states
put together He said the federal patron
age would always go to the doubtful states
and he hoped and believed that next fall
Kansas would be an extremely doubtful
state Kansas was known "a the banner
Republican state and such a reputation
had been n detriment 70 her in the matter
Of federal appointments. he regarded
Kansas already a. doubtful state and
the present issue when happily termina-
ted would De the cause OF bringing about
many good results.
The convention led by Mr. VI :
Rochelle then broke out into Marching
Through Georgia and the entire song
was rendered with evident spirit
Mr. Lucien Baker was then called upon
and made short address The conven

said they az last had about what they were
after and he felt Ike rejoicing lie said
the prohibitOry law was the only law 10
the statutes that the people ~ Kansas
would permit violated 5000 times a day
and il was time II was repealed he laid
the charges made against the Resubmis-
sionists might be more aptly made against
the Prohibitionists lie did not forget O.
