It Is a matter Of cold fact that Wichita
made the greatest gain in the state. The
reader viii naturally ask how that can
be when Topeka's gain is shown to be so
large. Topeka annexed a suburb called
Potwin. That is where she gets her gain
wichita annexed no suburb. I'm fact. one
outlying district was put outside Of town.
Wichita made a gain of per cent in
population. that is 2ls times greater than
the average increase in the state.
The city is the most prosperous in the
state. It Is growing more rapidly. Every
body I'm Wichita knew It and the mistake
wAsch said the city was losing population
was resented here
And, as stated previously, Wichita not
only is growing, but Sedgwick county as
well The enumeratioa made by assessors
IN March. 1899. compiled by the state
board of agriculture. gives a total Of
1.l25,112 inhabitants, which is a net in
crease over 1888 of s4.143. or 25 per cent
OF the net increase a per cent has been
made in twenty counties.
The enumeration in 1898 showed for that
year an increase of 22,9Ss. and in 1897 the
gam WIS oV-lOJs u IOIdi gam
OF s7.2a In the past three years.
Eighty-one counties show an increase
Of 41.7S, Cherokee leading with a gain
of S.421, or "a per cent, followed closely
by Shawnee with s,S6s, or SIS per cent.
Among other counties which have made
largest population growths are Sumner.
with an increase Of 1.s4s; Sedgwick. 1874;
Montgomery. 1.59o; Allen. ISIS; Atchison,
a.Is2; Barber. 1.455; Harper. LIS; Ellis
worth, 1,lSs; Crawford, 1,O27. Although
having the largest number Of Inhabitants
Of any county IN the state. the smallest
gain reported IS 6, from Wyandotte. The
counties ranking next to wyandotte IN
point Of population are Shawnee. Sedg-
wick, Cherokee, Leavenworth. Cowley
and Atchison, IN the order named. The
county having the smallest number OF
people Is Stanton, with ga The largest
per cent of increase in any county was
2s2 in Barter; Harper gained 1875 per
cent. and ETsworth~and Pratt 1873 each !:
Chase II, and Allen 10 per cent.
Twenty-Five of the los counties lost
S651 the smallest loss being in Lane
county, and the greatest LIZA in Franklin
county.

kion by counties. along with the increase
or decrease in each, for 1899:

SPIRIT OF HARMONY
And Enthusiasm of Saturdays
Convention Spreads.
CENTRAL Committeeman
List Given as far as Complet-
ed Yesterday.

The enthusiasm aroused in last Satur-
days Republican convention Is spreading
and growing. 1t was the subject Of fire.
ouent favorable comment on the streets
Sunday and yesterday by Republicans
and frequently by even Democrats and
Populists.
John Davis speech nominating Judge
Balderston opened the convention work
proper and stirred up great cheering, as
did all the nominating speeches when
speeches were made. Davis in nominal
ing Balderston, VIM. Glass in nominating
Boone for. county treasurer, and George
Adams nominating o. w. Jones Of the
Third ward, John Adams in nominating
Chas. Simmons, Paul Brown In nominal
ing Mr.. Marble for register.
When c. v. Ferguson nominated John
Chain for county clerk, J. H. Mccall Sec
onded it and the crowd cheered. When
Judge B. L. keenan, got up and moved
to make 1t unanimous, every move tend
ing to make things unanimous was Wig
orously cheered. Judge Enooh's speech
nominating NJ. NJ. McCallister for coro-
ner stirred up considerable enthusiasm
and cheering even though 1t was late and
the convention tired. Several persons
were voted for who were not candidates
and whose names were not presented,
Judge Buckner and r. r. Vermilion for
district judge, sixteen votes in the First

Although Chas. Lliing was not q can
didate for treasurer, and was the man
who nominated L. A. Wilson for the place,
he received several votes, which kept
going to him and adding until Mr.. Lul-
ing got up and requested them to stop
balloting for him as he was not a candi-
date. The convention was a great, good
natured gathering of Republicans. When
there were several candidates in the
field the delegations were most of them
divided. Several delegations were divid-
ed to three men, which was merry proof
that there were no schemes nor cliques
nor put-up jobs.
Quite a number Of delegations had gone
before the members Of the central COM
mittee were called for, and only a few
could be obtained Saturday. Yesterday
the list as far as completed stood as
follows:
