Mr.. Lupfer, chairman of the commit
tee on elections, submitted the following
report aud resolutions:
Mr.. SPEAKER: Your standing committee on
elections, to whom was referred the papers in
the contest case of l. N Goodwin against Rich
ard o. Citing for seat in this house as repre-
sentative for the Nlnety-ninth district, Ness
county, have had said case under consideration,
and have taken testimony therein in addition
to the dispositions referred to your committee.
and have instructed me to make the following
report:
It will be remembered that your committee
made report few days ago in relation to these
same parties in which they found that Mr.. Eli.
ing was at the time Of the election on the Sth Of
November last, postmaster at Kanssda, and for
that reason was ineligible to be elected to the
legislature, and they reported that for such req
son Mr.. Eting was not entitled to seat in this
house, and that Mr.. Goodwin, having received a
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 frauds
practiced by officers Of election, and by reason Of
illegal votes cast against him, he had been de-
prived of 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-
quired. and herewith submit the facts found by
them.
Mr.. Goodwin gave due notice to Mr.. Citing that
he would contest his right to seat as member
of the legislature, assigningprope and sufficient
grounds therefor, and afterward served on Mr..
Citing notice that dispositions would be taken
before Hon ]. NJ. Temple, probate Judge Of Ness

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 toe tickets, in each Of the four packages pro
duced and opened by the clerk, and made can.

ships separately. Your committee found tina;
the votes as returned from Cimarron township
correspondent exactly with the ballots them.
selves, and that the number of tickets CORE.
sponded with the number of names on the poll.
books Of that township. The ballots returned
from the township Of ingalls, had been 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.. Doug
lass had received 81 votes only, being ten less
than the returnsh had given to him; that Mr.. Nor
rison 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 return,
from ingalls, township we're false and untrue
The eight tickets which were blank as to repre-
sentative had all been counted and canvassed a.
being ballots for Mr.. Douglass, and two Of the
ballots on which Mr.. Morison's name appeared
had been read and counted as IL 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 for 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
to have been cast for him; and the ballots showed
that five were in blank as to representative.
The ballots returned from the township Of
Montezuma showed that Mr.. Douglass received
only thirty-four votes, being five less than the
returns made BY the judges and clerks OF cleo
ton. They showed that Mr.. Morrison had re.
ceived twenty votes, being tho same number
which the returns had stated. Five ballots we're
In blank as to representative. These FIVE blank
tickets had evidently been read and counted in
favor of Mr.. Douglass.
From the examination and count Of the tickets
made by your committee, We find 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:

actual majority of thirteen votes In his county
and district
1t is worthy Of remark that the poll-books re-
turned from Ingalls, and Logan township:
showed that in each Of those townships the trus-
tee certifes that be administered the oath Of
Office to himself as Judge Of election, and that
the poll-boOks from Montezuma township
showed that neither the judges nor clerks Of
election were sworn at all 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
iorty 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
thefollowing resolutions, and recommend their
ADOPTION:
blouse Resolution No. 49,
Resolved, That Ora B. Douglass was not elect
ed by the votes OF the One hundred and twenty
second district as amember Of this house, and is
not entitled 20 seat as such member.
nssolv,d, That John Morrison, having received
the greatest number OF VOTES cast for represent
alive by the voters Of the One hundred and
twenty district. being the county Of Gray,
was duly elected as a member of this house, and
Is entitled 10 a seat as such member.
Respectfully submitted,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,



TOPEKA, KAs., January II, 1898. I

rose in his seat and said: "We have
been riding upon the waves Of excite
ment here nearly one week. expires:
the sentiment Of large majority Of our
side OF the house when l 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 dc
we propose that you shall deprive US Of
our rights. / say that this can be set.
tied II we can get together free from
all outside influence, clear this floor o.
all persons except members and those
who have contests, and let us see If we
can find some peaceful way out Of the
trouble. 1 believe the whole state Of
Kansas wants to see just such a settle
ment. This is no time to publish reso
lutions calculated to inhame the people,
but it is a time for calm thoughts.
Therefore l offer the following:
Resolved, That in the interest Of har.
mony and the hope Of a peaceful solu.
ton 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.
4 On Monday, the 10th, the house met
as provided in the foregoing resolution,
and on motion agreed to hold an in
formal meeting with the view, II pos.
sible, to devise some means to bring
about peaceful solution Of present
difficulties, which resulted in the sp.
pointing of a committee OF three from
each side. The committee so appointed
Immediately went into session with the
following results: After carefully ex-
aiming all points in dispute, the com
mittee on the part Of the Populists pre-
sented the following proposition in
writing to the committee representing
the republicans, to-wit: John Seaton,
Col. A. Warner and ]. A. Troutman.
We submit the following proposition;
That Judge Foster, Judge Horton
and Judge Allen be agreed upon as a
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 timei it
was decided by common consent that
further negotiations we're unnecessary,
as there was no hope Of agreement, and
the committee SO reported.

twill be seen from the foregoing fsures, that
Mr.. Douglass's total vote in the four townships
Was twenty-three less Than the judges and clerk.
Of election had returned as having been cast for
him, and that Mr.. Morison's vote in the four
townships was Ave greater than the election
boards had returned in his favor, making diff.
ference Of tventy-eight votes in favor OF Mr.,
Morrison. The canvass made by the county CON-
missioners, and followed by the state board OF
canvassers, gave Mr.. Douglass a majority Of
fifteen only. Deduct this number from the
twenty-eight votes already mentioned, and il
will be seen that Mr.. MORRISON received an

BURLINGTON, KAs., January IS, 1893.
Hon. o. M. Rice, Topeka, Kas:
DEAR SIR:-Yours Of yesterday just
received. The Capital Of yesterday
containing an account Of meeting Of
the citizens Of Burlington, Cofey
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. l notice in
same paper accounts OF similar meet
ings being held in other parts Of the
state for the same purpose. If they
were all imaginary meetings same as
this alleged meeting was, 80 far as the
attempt to convey the impression that
1t was a public meeting, they will have
been simply object lessons to convey to
the people the fact that the Capital, as
as well as some other papers, are en-
gagged in conspiracy to mislead and
deceive the people, in order to persuade
other conspirators to defeat the will Of
the people as expressed at the late
election. OF course the conspiracies
will fail. So far as the Peoples party
OF Coffey county are concerned, they
indorse the action Of the legally organ
lied legislature, and also the acts ofthe
governor, 80 far as we are informed Of
those acts. Yours truly,
HARRISON KELLEY.

We, the representatives Of the Peo-
pies party Of Harvey county, in mass
convention assembled, heartily endors-
ing the course now being pursued by
Gov. L. D. Lewelling and our other
newly installed state officers In this
hour Of supreme trial; therefore
Resolved l, That as friends Of popular
government we extend to them and to
Speaker Dunsmore and the legally con-
stituted house over which he presides
our pledge OF sympathy and support In
their noble struggle TO sustain justice
and defend the people Of this common
wealth against fraudulent schemes by
which false certificates Of election were
issued in the interest Of corporate greed
and for the purpose OF defeating the
popular will OF the people as expressed
at the polls. We comprehend the pur-
pose and are fully conscious Of the ter
rible plutocratic power that is now
arrayed against the lawfully constituted
authorities OF the state. Yet we have
confidence that all loyal citizens, re-
CARELESS Of party, will protest and de-
fend the governor and his co-workers
in their manly defense Of "a govern
ment Of the people, by the people, and
for the people,"
2. That we condemn In most en-
phatic terms, those who have betrayed
the trust reposed in them by joining
the ranks Of the enemy Of reform.
3. That we most emphatically de-
nounce the last administration OF the
republican party, and especially their
acts as canvassing board in the issu-
ing Of certificates Of election TO parties
not legally entitled to them; and
4. Resolved further, That we hereby
reaffirm our faith In the loyalty and in
tegrity OF the officers we have elected,
and in the justice Of the cause Of re-
form, and therefore exhort our worthy
governor and his co-laborers TO hold
the fort.
On motion secretary was instructed
to send copy to Gov. Lewelling and also
to Speaker Dunsmore, and to certain
reform papers for publication.
