POPULISTS AHEAD IN KANSAS.
Majority of One in the Legislature on
Joint Ballot.


The Kansas Canvassng Board has
completed the official count. The can
vass progressed without excitement un-
til the tie for member of the lower house
from Colfey County was reached. The
statute provides that in case Of ito
the board shall determine by lot who js
elected. Attorney General Ives, me
only Populist member Of the board,
claimed that the statute was unconsti-
tut;onal, and that it was the duty Of tho
board to decide that no election had
been made and that the Governor
should call special election. All OF
the other members Of the board insisted
that the provision OF the statute should
be carried out and the Attorney Gen
eral withdrew, declining to lie party
to an act that he considered unconsti-
tutional. The remaining members OF
toard, Republicans, proceeded 10
settle the tie by drawing lots, and q. !.
Republican candidate was successful.
In Haskell County Joseph Rosenthal. a
Demo crat, was elected by a ma ,ority OF
l56, but the County Clerk in certifying
to the returns gave Rosenthal's vote to
w. A. Stubs, the Republican, through
an error" AS the board had no author
ity to go benin the returns Stubs was
declared elected.
When the report from Haskell County
was read the Populists and Democrats
who were watching the count failed 10
notice the error, and Stubb,' certificate
was made out and mailed him. Tho
certificates as issued give the Republi-
cans in the House 81, Populists IS;
Democrats 2, Independent 1. In the
Senate the Populists have 70, Repub-
Leans 10. On the face of the certi1-
Gates the Populists have a majority OF
