HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE,
TOPEKA, KAs., January Il, 1893. {
Cobun, of Barton county, Populist,
rose In his seat and said: ''We have
been riding upon the waves of excite
ment here nearly one week. I express
the sentiment Of 8 large majority Of our
side of the house when say we want to
settle this difficulty. We do not In
tend to deprive you, of the opposite
side Of the house, of your rights, nor do
we propose that you shall deprive us of
our rights. I say that this can be set
tied If we can get together free from
all outside influence, clear this floor Of
all persons except members and those
who have contests, and let us see If We
can find some peaceful way out Of the
trouble. I believe the whole state Of
Kansas wants to see just such settle
ment. This is no time to publish reso-
lutions calculated to infiame the people,
but it is a time for calm thoughts.
Therefore offer the following:
ResoJUed, That in the interest Of har-
mony and the hope of q peaceful solu-
tion of present difficulties now pending
In this house, that the house does now
adjourn TO meet at the hour of 4
o'clock, Monday, January 16. 1898, with
the mutual understanding that no per-
SONS shall be admitted to the floor or
galleries except the members and those
having contests.
On Monday. the 18th, the house met
as provided in the foregoing resolution,
and on motion agreed to hold an In
formal meeting with the view, if pos
sible, to devise some means to bring
about a peaceful solution of present
difficulties, which resulted in the ap-
pointing of committee of three from
each side. The committee 50 appointed
Immediately went into session with the
following results: After carefully ex-
amining all points in dispute, the com
mittee on the part OF the Populists pre-
sented the following proposition in
writing to the committee represen ling
the republicans, to-wit: John Seaton,
Col. A. Warner and j. A. Troutman.
We submit the following proposition:
That Judge Foster, Judge Horton
and Judge Allen be agreed upon as q
commission of three before whom all
contest cases shall be submitted for set
Element, whose decision shall be final
in all cases. This proposition was
unanimously rejected by the republican
committeeman. The committee on the
part of the Populists then proposed to
drop Judge Foster and allow the two
remaining judges to select the third
one. This proposition was also rejected.
The committee then adjourned TO meet
the following morning, at which time it
was decided by common consent that
further negotiations were unnecessary,
as there was no hope of agreement, and
the committee go reported.

From House Journal, Saturday, January
q, 1898.
Mr.. Lupfer, chairman OF the commit
tee on elections, submitted the following
report and resolutions:
Nh. 6PEAKER: Your standing committee on
elections. to whom was referred the papers In
the contest case OF !. N Goodwin against Rich
ard o. Elting for SCAT In this house as repre-
sentative for the NInety-ninth district, Ness
county, have had said case under confederation.
and have taken testimony therein In addition
70 the depoGitions referred to your COMMITTEES.
and have instructed me to make the following
report:
Il win be remembered that your Committee
made report few days ego In relation to these
same parties, in which they found that Mr. Elt-
ing was at the time of the election on the sth of
November last. postmaster at Kansada. and for
that reason was ineligible TO be elected TO the
legislature. and thsy reported that for such rea-
son Mr.. Citing was not entitled to a seat in this
house. and that Mr.. Goodwin. having received
majority OF all the votes cast In his county for
any eligible candidate for said Office, was en-
titled to such seat. But Mr.. Goodwin insisted
that your committee should examine the testi-
mony In the case. claiming that he had been
duly elected By majority OF all the legal votes
cast In his district. and that by reason OF fraus
prscticsd By officers Of election and By reason of
illegal votes cast against him. he had bean de-
privsd OF a certificate from the duly constituted
authorities to which In law and equity he was
entitled Your committee. In compliance with
such request, have made the examination re-
Gnired. and herewith submit the facts found by
them.
Mr.. Goodwin gave due notice TO Mr.. Elting that
he would contest his right to a seat as = member
OF the legislature assigning proper and sufficient
grounds therefor, and afterward served on Mr..
Elting notice that depositions would be taken
before Hon J. II. Tample. nrobate judge Of Ness
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-01

aotuaI majority Of thirtesn votes in his county
and dEsErict-
It is worthy Of remark that the poIl-books re-
turned from Ingalls, and Logan townships
showed that IA each of these townships the trus-
tee certines that he administered the oath Of
Office TO himself ss Judge OF election, and that
the poll-bOoks from Monteznma township
showed that neither the judges nor clerks cf
election were sworn at ell by anybody. Whether
the errors made in counting the ballots IN the
three townships last mentioned occurred
through the ignorance OF the judges and clerks
OF election, or whether they occurred purposely
and with criminal intent, the fact remains. and
is apparent. that Mr.. Douglass. who was awarded
certificate OF election. did not receive the ma
5ozity OF the votes cast by the voters of his dis
trict, and Is not entitled to represent them in
the Legislature. and that John Morrison was the
choice OF the people of his district for the Office,
and Is entitled to represent them In this house.
Your committee therefore submit to the house
the following resolutions, and recommend their
adoption:
(House Resolution No. 32}
ResolUed, That Ora B. Douglass was not elect
ed by She votes OF the One hundred and twenty
second district az member OF this house, and Is
not entitled To eeat IS such member.
Resolved, That John Morrison, having received
atiye by the voters OF the One hundred and
twenty-second district, being the county of Gray
was duly elected as member OF this house. and
Is entitled 70 seat as such member.
Respectfully submitted,
A. q. LuPFxR.

and the report OF the committee and
resolutions were adopted.

Totals of four townships

Your committee then asked the county clerk
to open the packages of tickets, which he did,
and personally handed the tickets singly to your
committee and your committee examined each
of the tickets, in each of the four packages pro-
duced and opened by the clerk, and made can
vass of the tickets ballots of each of the town
ships separately. Your committee found that
the votes as returned from Cimarron township
corresponded exactly with the ballots them
selves, and that the number of tickets corre-
sponded with the number OF names on the poll
books of that township. The ballots returned
from the township OF ingalls, had bean mis-
counted by the judges OF election, or an incor-
rect count or tally had been made by the clerks
The count of the ballots showed that Mr. Dong
lass had received 81 votes only, being ten less
than the returns had given to him; that Mr. Nor
Eison had received nine votes, being two more
than the returns had given to him; and that
eight were blank as to the Office OF Representa-
tive. 1t is plain, therefore, that the returns
from Ingalls, township were false and untrue.
The eight tickets which were blank Is to repre-
sentative had ali been counted and canyassed as
being ballots for Mr. Douglass, and two Of the
ballots ON which Mr. Morison's name appeared
had been read and counted as If cast for Mr.
Douglass.
The count of tickets of Logan township
showed that nineteen tickets, and no more
were cast in that township for Mr.. Douglass,
being eight less than those returned Tor him by
the judges and clerks Of election; and they
showed that Mr.. Morrison received thirty-four
votes, being three more than the returns showed
60 have been cast for him; and the ballots showed
that Eve WeTe in blank as 20 representative.
The ballots returned from the township OF
Montezuma showed that Ar. Douglass received
only thirty-four votes. being i've less than the
returns made by the judges and clerks Of cleo
tion. They showed that Mr.. Morrison had re-
ceived twenty votes. being the same number
which the returns had stated. Five ballots were
In blank as to representative. These i've blank
tickets had evidently bean read and counted In
favor OF Mr. Douglass
From the examination and count OF the tickets
made by your committee, We ind and report
that the votes actually cast In the four town
ships named, and the ballots which were In
blank as to representative. were as indicated in
the following table:

It win Be seen from the foregoing figures, that
AIr. Douglass total vote In the four townships
was tventy-three less than the judges and clerks

him, and that Mr.. MoEFison's vote in the four
townships was Eve greater than the election

DEAR Sm:-Yours of yesterday just

containing an account Of q meeting OF
the citizens Of Burlington, CofTey
county, on Saturday last, which paper
reached here this morning, was the first
information any one here had Of pub
lie meeting being held here Saturday
or any other time, for the purposes In
dicated In the Capital. I notice In
same paper accounts Of similar meet
ings being held In other parts Of the
state for the same purpose. If they
were ali Imaginary meetings same g
this alleged meeting was, 50 far as the
attempt to convey the impression that
it was public meeting, they will have
been simply object lessons to convey to
the people the fact that the Capital, a.
a. well as some other papers, are en-
gagged in conspiracy to mislead and
deceive the peoples in order to persuade
other conspirators to defeat the will OF
the people as expressed st the late
election. OF course the conspiracies
viii fail. So far as the Peoples party
of Cofey county are concerned, they
indorse the action Of the legally organ
lied Legislature, and also the acts ofthe
governor, 50 far IS We sre informed Of
those acts. Yours truly,
