gates to the Populist state convention
having perfected the organization yes
terday and listened TO Thomas e. Wat
sons address last night, settled
promptly down to business at this
mornings session. The discovery that
on account Of his net having resided
in the state long enough, Gen. j. B.
Gambrell was ineligible for the gov
ernOrship, having removed him from
the field, the sentiment this morning
crystallized in favor of Hon. Seaborn
Wright, of Wright. When the chair
man declared the convention ready to
undertake the nomination for gov
ernor, Mr.. Wright was placed in NOM
ination by Judge J.. K. Hines. No
other names being presented Mr.
Wright was nominated by acclamation
The platform adopted deals largely
with state issues. The barroom plank,
the most important feature Of the plat
form is as follows:
"Civilization, to say nothing of re-
ligion, has entered up judgment of
condemnation against barrooms, the
public conscience revolts at the license
system, which fosters the saloon and
generates it's manifold evils in con-
sideration of revenue that pays less
than tithe of the public burdens 1t
entails. 1t is non-Anerican, monopo-
listic and essentially immoral. We
therefore, declare for an anti-barroom
law which shall make secure local pro-
hibition already obtained, abolish the
beverage sale of Intoxicating liquors
and provide for the same for other pur-
poses under public control.
The convention fulfilled the predic-
ton as to it's action on the national
ticket made by Thomas E. Watson in
his address last night, by unanimously
adopting a resolution presented by the
platform committee, authorizing the
state executive committee at any time
that Arthur SewaH should be with
drawn from the Democratic ticket to
withdraw six Populist electors and
place six Democrats in their stead
This done the convention adjourned
Hon. Seaborn A. Wright, the nomi-
nee for governor, gave out the follow
ing signed statement Immediately after

make of the people of Georgia; that
they read the platform on which

RECORDS COMPARED.
Expenditures Of Moneys Under
Two Kansas Administrations
Gov. morrill, and His Associates Have Saved
to the People Over S2OO,oOO-Au
State Institutions Run
Business Principles.

TOPEKA Kan, Oct 15.-The repub-
1ican state central committee has is
sued a little pamphlet showing the
record of the present republican ad-
ministration as compared with its
populist predecessor, which, if laid be-
fore the voters of Kansas. would have
a msrked influence on the result of
the pending election on November 3.
This little pamphlet. which contains
SO pages, embraces % tables showing
statements of appropriations and ex-
penditures for the years 1894, 1895 and
1896. These tables would take up too
much space to reproduce them in one
newspaper article, and therefore it is
necessary to refer to them briefly.
The last statement shows clearly
that if the populists in 1894 and 1895
had followed the economical policy
which characterizedthe repu blican ad-
ministration in 1896, there would have
been saved to the state in 1894 the sum
of S62, 976- 60; in 1895 the sum of S146.-
937. 81; total in two years amounting
to S2O9, 913.99.
In the pamphlet the year 1895 is
treated populist year as we'll as
1894. This is justified by the fact that
for the institutions covered by the
comparisons there was expended S9O2,-
900. II, of which the populists spent
$7s7, SO; the repu blicans, STA. 512 So.
In the comparisons extraordinary eX-
penditures are deducted from each of
the three years and the expenditures
of the several departments are thereby
brought down to an equal basis. The
com parsons are for 1896, the repub-
lican period, as against 1894, and 1895,
the populiSt period.
