After the biographical sketches of the absent! members were given, an adjournment wait tasfn for diuuer. During the noon hour interesting stories were told of the convention ,. and its members. In the assembly of '59 there | were thirty-five Republicans and seventeen Democrats, eighteen lawyers, sixteen farmers, eight merchants and five physicians, while several callings were represented by one man. Eighteen of the fifty-two men were less than 30 years of age, while elsve were more than 40 years old. Eofc Graham was the oldest man, and B. F. Sis sou the youngest. Forty-two of the msrnb of the convention were natives of Northern! states, five of Kentucky, one of Virginia and] one each of England, Ireland, Scotland Germany. It was characteristic of the president of the assembly to wear a bine coat with brass buttons. Mr. Winclieli, soou after the convention was president, was chairman of a congressional convention. In October of 1859 he | was defeated when running for the chairman- , ship of the convention that nominated state| officers. Messrs. Thaoher and Kingman were considered leaders of the Republican wing of the i convention and Messrs. Stinson and McDowell I of the Democratic wing. Judge Thacher is f spoken of as making the greatest speech of t convention when lie spoke in opposition to"i ; resolution offered by Mr. McCune, of LeaveU5: : worth county, asking that "free negroes 'Jgj I excluded from a residence in the state." Senator Ingalls is remembered a young man Jfe-™.: who wore a straw hat having more holes than,1 straws, and which was cone shaped. Ingalls ,\ tt came lrom Atchison. Col. Slough one day ; .-'; asked if ho was the best specimen that placet could send. The same remark was made of J Judge Kingman. "You'll hear from them," I was the answer to Col. Slough's question. And j they have been heard from. Judge Kingman tells a story on himself 5 which he repeated, as it showed in his o p i n i « | *i how it paid to serve the Lord. The Leav worth delegation had been accustomed toi freely. One morning, after the judge slept on a table in the room where the'eenvention was held, he awoke and fonoi him•:| self without funds. He searched in vain for the Leavenworth delegation to get a morning; • treat. As he was going along the streetMjs; f found a dime. Whisky was only 5 cents* 1 glass then, so the judge took one. He though*; *S| he had been favored so graciously that he con^J eluded to spend the second 5 cent piece /or''*,' drink, and did so, and from that oay'tof"' he says he has felt better. Referring to Col. Martin as secretary, ft* stated that he could decipher every line manuscript that was sent to him : during; S convention.

M R . P H E S I D E N T :— It is often charged that participants in assemblages of this character are apt to exaggerate the importance of the occasion they commemorate, and, after the manner of one of our poets, sing in chorus: "I celebrate myself.1' Perhaps I can speak of the Wyandott convention and its work without being accused of this selfgratuiation;_for I was more of an observer of its proceedings than a participant in them. I recorded what was done, but I had no part or lot in the doing. If its work had been crude, or weak, I could not fairly have been held responsible for the failure. As it was strong;, efficient and enduring, I can felicitate you, the survivors of those who wrought this great service for Kansas, without a; Bucpioion of self-praise. KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS.

Four conventions framed constitutions for this state. The first assembled at Topeka, on the 23d of October, 1855, and adjourned on the 11th of November, after a session of twenty days. It was composed of forty-se vc.n members, of whom thirtyone signed the constitution. On the l o t h of December this Instrument was submitted to the people for ratification or rejection. Only 1,777 ballots were cost, all but 4 6 being favorable. One of its sections, a provision excluding negroes and mulattoes from the state, was submitted as an in depend, ent proposition,and adopted by on affirmative vote of 1,287, to 1 5 3 n gainst it. The second convention was that held at Lecompton, which met on the 7th of June, 1857 and after a seasion of four days adjourned until the 19th of October, a final adjournment being reached on the 3d of November. It was composed of sixty-four members, forty-five of whom signed •r,: the organic law it framed, and its session contin- £f^ ued twenty days. No direct voto on this constltu- J " tion was provided for. 'Die schedule orderedtwo: forms of ballot, one, the "constitution with | slavery," the other, "constitution with no slavery." It was the old turkey and buzzard choice. The free state men refused to vote at tre election, held on the 31st of December, and only 6,712 ballots were east, 0,1-17 being for slavery and 5 0 9 against slavery. The free state men hud, however, elected a majority of the territorial- , legislature in October, and at a special session of!.''t v<"•*' that body held in December a law was passed rjro-^'' viding for a direct vote on the constitution. This election was held on the 14th of January, 4858, resulting. Against the constitution, 10,266; for, 164—the pro-slavery men not voting. A third vote on the I.econipton instrument was taken August 2 , 1 8 5 8 , congress having ordered its resubmission under the terms of the English bill. Again it was rejected, the ballots in its favor being only 1,788, and those against It 11,300. The Leavenworth convention met at Mined*, I March 2 3 , 1 8 5 S , and at once adjourned to Leaven< worth, whore it reassembled March 25. It was j I composed ot ninety-five members, was in session 'only eleven days, and the constitution it framed was signed by eighty-three porsous. This Instrument was adopted at an election held May 1 1 , by a very small vote, the pro-slavery men taking no part in tile contest. It was never a popular organio law, and many free state men who supported it did so under protest. An earnest effort was made " by the Republicans to seoure the admission of Kansas under the Topeka constitution, and by the | Democrats, with a few exceptions, to bring the territory in under the Lcoompton constitutiOi

ut no serious or determined contest vras waged i in congress for admission under the Leavenworth constitution, and in less than eight months the movement in ita behalf was formally abandoned. THE WYANDOTT CONVENTION.

Early in February, 1859, the territorial legislature passed an act submitting to the people the question of calling a constitutional convention. This vote was taken March 28, and resulted: For, 5 306; against, 1,425. On the 10th of May, 1S59, the Republican party of Kansas was organized at Osawatomie, and at the election held on the 7th of June, for delegates to the Wyandott con- I vention the Kepublican and Democratic parties J confronted each otner in Kansas for the first time. I The Democrats carried the counties of Leaven- i worth, Doniphan, Jefferson and Jackson, and | elected one of the two delegates from Johnson. The Republicans were successtul in all the other I ! counties voting. The total vote polled was 14,-. 1 j 000. The Republican membership was thirty- g ! five: Democratic, seventeen. S The convention then chosen assembled on the J 5th day of July, 1859. In its composition it was I = an unusual, not to say remarkable, Kansas ossem- J blage. Apparently the chiefs of the contending 1 parties had grown weary of constitution making, g or regarded this fourth endeavor in that line as a I predestined failure, for they were conspicuous by j| their absence. In the Topeka convention nearly y. every prominent man of the free state party had a rj sent. Gen. Lane was Its president, and Charles j£ Robinson. Martin F. Conway, Marcus J. Parrott, William Y. Roberts, George W.Smith, Philip C. Schuyler, C. K. Holliday. Mark W. Delahay, and many other recognized free state leaders, were members. In the Leavenworth convention there was a similar gathering of widely known free I state men. Conway was its president, and Lane. •. Roberts, Thomas Ewing, jr., Henry J. Adams, H. , P. Johnson. S. N. Wood, T. Dwight Thacher, P. B. Plumb, Joel K. Goodin, A. Larzalere, W. F. M. Amy, Charles H. Brausoomb, John Ritchey, and many other influential free state chiefs or partisans, were among Ha members. THE MEMBERSHIP.

In the Wyandott convention all the noted free state leaders were conspicuously absent. Its roll call was made up of names generally new in Kansas affairs, and largely unknown in either the free state or pro-slavery councils. Its president, James M. Winohell, his colleague, William McCullough, and John Ritchey, of Shawnee, had been meaner*' j

.

of the Leavenworth convention; Col. Caleb May, of Atchison, and W. R. Griffith, of Bourbon, had been members of both the Topeka and Leavenworth conventions; and James M. Arthur, of Linn, had been a member of the Tope lea convention. But their prominence was largely local. On the Democratic side, too, appeared men before unnoted in the annals of the stirringandtremendous conflict that had for years made the young territory the cynosure of a continent's interest. None of the prominent pro-slavery men who sat in the Lecoinpton convention or the pro-slavery legislatures—Culhouu, Stringfellow, Henderson, Elmore, '"•"Wilson, Carr and others, appeared in this body. Perhaps the absence of these party leaders was a fortunate thing for the convention and the incipient &t ate. For in discriminating intelligence, in considerate zeal for the welfare of the people, in catholic grasp of principles and in capacity for defining theories cleanly and compactly, the members of this body were not wanting. On the other hand there were fewer jealousies and far less wrangling than would have been possible had the envious and aspiring party leaders been present. I think it is certain that the work was better done, done with more sobriety, sincerity, prudence and real ability than would have resulted had the recognized chiefs of the rival parties been on the floor of the convention. The pioneers—the John Baptists—of the free state cause were all at Tope-, ka, and the constitution they framed is disfigured by some blotches and much useless verbiage. The leaders were all at Leaveuworth, where they schemed for precedence and spread traps to catch one another, and quiirrelud over non-essentials, and did everything but make a popular constitution. Lccompton was the last expressiou of a beaten, desperate and wrong headed, but intellectually vigorous faction, and was really, barring the mean method of its submission,and its attempt to perpetuate slavery, an admirable organic law. The younger men of the territory constituted the convention at Wyandott. They came upon the. field fresh, enthusiastic, and with a place in the L world of thought and action to, conquer. T h e y f ; , / recognized the fact that they must do extremely {'••• well to secure popular favor, and they set about Kw* their task with industry, intelligence and nrujjf I

They had nt> old battles to fight over again, no personal feuds to distract them, no recol. lection of former defeats or victorios to reverse i 1 maintain. They were their own prophets.

Very few were old men. Only fifteen of the flfty-P: two members were over 4 0 . Over one-third were! , under 3 0 , and nearly two-thirds under 35. Very'few, as I have said, had previously appeared as representatives of the people in any territorial as-semblage, and this was especially true of the m e n . whoBe talents, industry and force soon approved t them leaders. Samuel A. Kingman had been in the territory only about eighteen months, and!*' was unknown outside of Brown county until he appeared at Wyandott. Solon 0. Thacher was a young lawyer of Lawrence, never before prominent in publio affairs. John J. Ingalls had served, the previous winter, as engrossing j I clerk of the territorial council. Samuel A. Stin- ! " son was a young attorney, recently from Maine, f William C. McDowell hod never been heard of! outside of Leavenworth, Benjamin P. Simpson was a boyish-looking lawyer from Miami county, and ;'. . John T. Burria had been practicing for a year or two. before justices' courts in Johnson county. Jolin P. Slough had been a member of the Ohio legislature, but was a new comer in Kansas; and K. O. Ross was the publisher of a weekly newspaper at Topeka. One-half of the members had been in the territory less than two years. Six came in 1854. four in 1355, and twelve in 1S50, while Mr. Forman, of Doniphan, dated his residence from 1843; Mr. Pnlraer, of Pottawatomie, from 1854, and Mr. Houston, of Riley, from 1 8 5 3 . Forty-oue were from northern states, seven from the south, and four were of foreign birth—England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany each contributing one. It appears singular that only one of the western states, Indiana, was represented in the membership, that state furnishing six delegates. Twelve hailed from New England, Ohio contributed twelve, Pennsylvania six, and Mew York four. Only eighteen belonged to the legal profession—an unusually small number of lawyers in such a body. Sixteen were farmers, eight merchants, three physicians, three manufacturers, one a mechanic, one a printer, one a laud agent, and one a surveyor. The oldest member was Robert Graham, of Atchison, who was 55; the youngest, Benjamin F. Simpson, of Lykins county (now Miami), who was 2 3 ,

The chairmanships of the different committee* were assigned as follows: Preamble and bill of rights, William Hutchinson, of Lawrence; executive department, John P. Greer, of Shawnee; legislative department, Solon Q. Thacher, of Lawrence; judicial department, Samuel A. Kingman, of Brown county; military, James G. Blunt, of Anderson county; electors and elections, P. H. Townsend, of Douglas; sahedule, John T. Burris, of Johnson; apportionment,H.|D. Preston,of Shawnee; corporations and banking, Robert Graham, of Atchison; education and publio institutions, W. R. Griffith, of Bourbou onunty; county and township organizations, John Ritchey, of Topeka; ordi nance aud public debt, James Blood, of Lawrence; finance aud taxation, Benjamin F. Simpson, of Lykins; amendments and miscellaneous, S. D. Houston, ot Riley county; federal relations, T. S. "Wright, of Nemaha county; phraseology and arrangements, John J. IngnlLs, of Atchison. I have studied the composition of these commit-, tees with some interest, reviewing the work ofi their members In tho convention, and recalling their subsequent careers, and it appears to me that in making them up, President Winchell exhibited phenomenally quick and accurate judgment of men. He was,'indeed, one of the best presiding officers I have ever known. His imperturbable coolness, never for au instant ruffled by the most sudden and passionate outbreaks of excitement in the convention; his mastery of all the niceties of parliamentary law; his uniform courtesy and tact; his promptness and clearness in stating his decisions; and above all, the mingled grace aud kindness ond firmness with which he announced to an indignant member RU adverse decision, were really wonderful. But what shall be said of that sti.l mom wonderful I prescience with which he made up the cotnraitv>?- j tees? What induocd this calm, gray eyed, observ-. ;-''' I iug little main, whose brass buttoned blue I coat was first seen by two-thirds of the JMi' j convention on the morning of the |. . 1 5tli of July—whnt impelled him within twenty£.'.;. J,four hours, to select an obscure, dull-looking, ! l/'sUoek-headed country doctor as chairman of the 5^*^militory committee, and thus name in connection with military affairs, for the first time, the only Kansas soldier who reached a full major generalship? How did he happen to pass by a half dozen inure widely known lawyers, and uppoltit as chairman of the judiciary committee,a man who, duriug more than fifteen years thereafter, occupied a' place on the supreme bench of the state, for the renter portion of this time as the chief justice? low came he to recognize so quickly, ia the en"grossing clerk of the territorial legislature, the ripest scholar and the fittest man in the body. for,. tho chairmanship ol'-tha committee to wliloh every article of the constitution was referred. for Anal revision and amendment? In the youngest and most boyish-looking member he found the man who Was to form, for • this state, a code of finance and taxation whose; clear directions and wholesome restrictions have guarded Kansas against the wasteful extravaganee of legislatures and the curse of a burdensome public debt, during all the tempting aud perilous affairs of its first quarter of a century. And he named, as head of the committee- on education, .the first state superintendent of public instruction.! All of his appointments were made with rarejudgment. but those mentioned appear notably discerning.

A WORKING BODY.

It was a working body, from the first hour of Its session until the last. There is a tradition that the continental congress which promulgated the Declaration of Independence) was materially liastened in its deliberations over that Immortal document by swarms of files that invaded the hall where it sat, and made the life of its members a burden. Perhaps the intense heat of the rough plastered £ room where the. convention mot, or tho knowledge £ that territorial sarto would be received by ii»«*ri»-f 1 nate landlords only at a usurious 4ascoiint, lind something to do with urging dispatch in business. .. But certainly the convent!* n went to work withan' energy ami Industry 1 have never seen paralleled in a Kansas deliberative body since that time. It #'• perfected its organization, adopted rules for its y government, disoussed the best mode of procedure \/ ± \ in framing a constitution, ond appointed a com- or" ' initteo to report upon that subject, during tho first day's session; all tho. standing committees were announced on the third day; and by the close of 5L I the fifth day it had disposed of two very trouble- {.;' •ome contested election cases, deoldod that the i; Ohlo constitution should be the model for that ofj Kansas, perfected arrangements for reporting and • printing its debates, and instructed its committees H upon a number of disputed questions. The vote £ on selecting a model for the constitution was, on jffi theseooud ballot: for the Ohio constitution, 2 5 ;E vote*; Indiana, 23; and Kentucky, 1. So our ifA Kansas constitution was modeled nftcr that of • .Ohio—something. I think, as the farmer's new

On the sixth day a resolution favoring biennial sessions of the legislature—adopted sixteen year*; afterword—was submitted and referred. The first of n long scries of resolutions or proposed sections, of the constitution prohibiting tho settlement of' negroesor mulaUoca within the limitsof thestana, was also Introduced. This question, with others of a kindred nature, suuh as propositions to prohibit colored children attending the schools, or to ox- , elude them from the university, or to forbid theappropriation of any funds tor their education, ana last, and meanest of all, to deny to negroes the shelter of county poor houses when poor and helpless, was voted upon again and again, first in one form and theu in auother, and to the enduring honor of the majority, always defeated. ItseeiM singular, in this day and generation, that such theories found persistent and earnest advooatesu But it should be remembered that all this hsppen-, ed beforetho war, when slavery was still sa,''ir^s}*•,'• , tution" in nearly half the states of the union. The 'JJ? pro-slavery party was, of course, solidly in favor , yirSflot excluding freo negroes from the state, and less T ' 4 S t h a n four years prior to the meeting of th e>oby- ' ™S vention. the free state party, in voting on the To-

Tlfus perfected, it wasl • adopted by n vote of 3 3 to 7. 4 I thought at the time, however, ana a review of the proceedings and debates has confirmed my impression, that favorable action on this provision was due to the earnest and eloquent advocacy oi judge Kingman, who was its most zealous, logical and courageous supporter. The homestead clause of the Kansas constitution has been severely criticised, but I believe the people of the state ftenerj ally regard it as a most beneficent provision of their organic law. For nearly a quarter of a cen-j) tury it has been maintained, and it still stands, as Judge Kingman said it would, guarding "the home, the hearthstone, the fireside around which a man may gather hid family with the certainty of assurance that neither the hand of the law, nor any, nor all of the uncertainties of life, can eject them from tho possession of it."

against each and every proposition of this charactor. For very tew members who so voted felt absolutely certain of the indorsement of their constituents. The first article of the constitution reported, that on corporations and banks, was submitted on the sixth day and considered. It was stated by the president, that many other committees hod their reports in the hands of the printer, And during the next few days they began to come in very rapidly. The convention, to expedite work, adopted a resolution requiring all committees to report on or before Saturday, the eleventh day of the session. T H E BOUNDiYRIES OK TUE 3TATE.

On the seventh day the annexation of that portion of Nebraska lying south ot the Platte river, was formally considered. The then organized Nebraska counties included in that section of oursUter state had elected delegates t* the convention, •who were present earnestly advocating annexation. The proposition was discussed during several days, and the debates took a wide range. The Nebraska delegates were admitted to seats as honorary members, with a privilege of speaking on this subject. The final determination, however, was to preserve the original northern line. Two influences induced this decision, one political, the other local and material. Many Republicans (eared that the South Platte country was, or would be likely to become, Democratic, Lawrence and Topeka both aspired to be the state capital, and their influence was against annexation, because they feared it would throw the center of population far notth of the Kaw. The preamble and bill of rights was reported on the tenth day, and opened the whole question of tho stutu'B boundaries. The committee proposed the twenty-third meridian as the western line,and the fortieth parallel as the line on the north. This would have excluded about ninety miles of territory within the present limits of the state. The committee's recommendation was, however, adopted, and stood as the determination of the convention until the day before the final adjournment, when Col. May, of Atchison, secured a reconsideration, and on his motion the twenty-fifth meridian was substituted for tbe twenty-third. The northern boundary question was finally settled on the fifteenth day, when, by a vote of 19 ayes to 28 nays, the convention refused to memorialize congress to include the South Platte country within the limits of Kansas.

The finance and taxation and the executive articles were adopted on the fourteenth day, and the miscellaneous article considered. This originally provided for the election o f a public printer, but that section was stricken out after a vigorous protest by Messrs. Ross and Ingalls. Nine years later their idea was indorsed, by the adoption of an amendment creating the office of state printer. On the seventeenth day the temporary capital was located at Topeka. the second ballot resulting: for Topeka, 29; for Lawrence, 14; for Atchison, 6.

FEATURES OF THE CONSTITUTION.

On the seventh day the legislative and judicial committees reported. The legislative article was considered next day. The committee proposed that bills might originate in either house, but Mr. "Winchell submitted a novel amendment, which required all laws to originate in the house of representatives. This was adopted, notwithstanding the vigorous opposition of Mr. Tbacher, the chairman of the committee, by a vote of 37 to 13. It survived the admission of the state only three years, being amended in 1864. On the eighth day the militia article was adop ted; on the ninth day the judicial article was perfected, and the article on education and public institutions reported and discussed; and on the tenth day the committees on county and township organizations, and* schedule, reported. The deathless pertinacity ofa "claim" is illustrated by a petition presented that day, from Samuel A. Lowe, a clerk of the so-o&lled "bogus legislature," who wanted pay for certain work he alleged he had performed. Only a year ago Mr. Lowe presented the same claim to cougress, and it was, I believe, allowed by the house. But the Kansas senators made such determined war on it that Mr. Lowe can still sing, "a claim to keep I have." I have mentioned the fact that Mr. Winchell was the author of the section providing that all bills should originate in the house. It should be stated that Mr. Ingalls was the author of the provision that "in actions for libel, the truth may be" given in evidence to the Jury, and if it shall appear that the alleged libelous matter was published for justifiable ends, the accused shall be acquitted." Another original provision of the constitution is the homestead section. This was first proposed by Mr. Foster, of Leavenworth county, on the sixth day of the session, and reported by the committee on miscellaneous and amendments, on the thirteenth day. No other feature of the constitution, perhaps, eleeited more animated and earnest debate. It was discussed for several days; amended, referred, and again submitted. As originally reported it provided for the exemption o f a homestead of 160 acres of land, or a house and lot not exceeding $2,000 in value, or real, personal and mixed property not exceeding < $ 2 , 0 0 0 , to any family." This was adopted by a • vote of 28 ayes to 16 nays. Two days later the a vote was reconsidered, and President Winchell *t proposed the wording finally adopted: "A. home-

THE FIRST "PROHIBITION AMENDMENT."

On the same day a proposition was made, hy Mr. Preston, of Shawnee county, to amend the miscellaneous article by adding the following section: "Section —, The legislature shall have power to regulate or prohibit the sale of all alcoholic liquors, except for mechanical and medicinal purposes." A motion'made to lay this amendment on the table, was defeated, by a vote of 1 8 ayes to 3 1 nays. But the anxiety of the members to exclude from the constitution any provision that might render its adoption doubtful, or prevent the admission of the state, finally prevailed, and after a full interchange of vlows^ Mr. Preston withdrew his amendment. There is, it is said, nothing new under the sun. Those who imagine the prohibition amendment adopted in 1880 was a new departure in constitution making, havo nover examined the records of the Wyandott convention. THE LAST OF SLAVERY IN KANSAS. On the nineteenth day occurred the last struggle over the slavery question in Kansas. Section S of the bill of rights, prohibiting slavery or involuntary servitude, came up for adoption, and it was moved to add a proviso suspending the operation ot this section for the period of twelve months, after the admission of the state. This proviso received eleven votes, and twenty-eight were recorded against it. A most exciting discussion occurred on the same day, over the apportionment article, which the Democrats denounced as a "gerrymander." T H E I*AST DAYS.

Tho work of the convention was practically completed on the twenty-first day. The various articles hod each been considered and adopted, first in the committee of the whole, then in convention, then referred to the committee on phraseology and arrangement, and after report of that committee, again considered by sections and adopted. But so auxious were the members that every word used should lie the right word, cxpress; ingthe idea Intended most clearly and directly, thatf ! when the reading of tho completed constitution was finished, on the morning of the twenty-first day, it was decided to refer it to a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Ingalls, winchell, Boss • aud Slough, tor further revision and verification. This committee reported the same afternoon and again the constitution was read by sections, for final revision with the same painstaking carefulness and attention to the minutest details. All that afternoon, and all the next day, with brief interruptions for action on other closing work, this revision weut on, and it .- was 5 o'clock in the' afternoon ot the 29th before the last section was perfected. Then occurred one ' of tho most dramatic scenes of the convention. Mr. Hutchinson submitted a resolution declaring that "we do 11now adopt and proceed to sign the constitution. A SPIRITED DEBATE.

At once Air. Slough addressed the chair, and •.after warmly eulogizing the general features of the constitution, pronouncing it "a model instrument," he formally announced that political ob-

| joctions {mpliiea himself ancf his Democratic aaso I elates to decline attaching; their aijfnatures to it ' j Tlie.it objections be stated at length. They were, I briefly: the curtailment ot the boundaries of the j state; the large legislative body provided for; the ' exclusion of Indians muds citizens of the United ! States, from the privilege of voting; the registry of I voters at the election on the constitution; the rei fusal to exclude free negroes from the state; and i the apportionment. This action of the Democratic members had been ' foreshadowed for several days, but it was, nevertheless, something of a surprise. The Republicans understood that several of the Democrats had earnestly opposed such a course, and hoped that some of them would be governed by their own convictions, rather than by the mandate of their caucus. For a few moments after Mr. SI >ugh concluded, the convention sat, hushed and expectant. But no other Democratic member rose. It was evident that the caucus ruled. Then Judge Thacher, the president pro tern., addressed the \ chair, in a speech of remarkable vigor and eloj quence, accepted the gage of battle thrown down. "Upon this constitution,11 he declared, ''we will . meet our opponents in the popular arena. It is a ' hotter, a nobler issue thun even the old free state I issue. They have thrown down the gnuntlet; we •joyfully take it up." He then proceeded to dej feud, with great earnestness and power, tho features of the constitution objected to by Mr. Slough. "The members of the convention," he asserted, "have perfected a work; that will be enduring." The constitution, he affirmed, would "commend itself to the true and good everywhere, because through every line and syllable there glows the generous sunshine of liberty." It was and should be, he declared:

the 28tu of the stnJarsTOSHIi'President" approved it. Thus young Kansas, throug.. « diffioulties and turmoils, was "added to the stars." & i S j | AN ENDUBING CONSTITUTION

"Like some tall cliff, that lift* Its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leave the storm; . Though round its breast the rolling clouds shall *fl spread, .'; Eternal sunshine settles on Us head." ,

Bead in the light of subsequent history, these declarations appear almost prophetic. SIGNING THE CONSTITUTION.

The twilight shadows were gathering about Wy, an'oVottwhen this debate closed, and the convention prococded to vote on Mr. Hutohlnson's resoI lution, which was adopted by 3 4 ayes to 13 nays > —one Republican and four Democrats being absent. | ' Tho roll was then called and the constitution was '1 Binned by all tho Republican members except one, Mr. Wright, of Nemaha, who was absent, sick. The work of the convention was completed, and ' after voting thanks to ite officers, it adjourned * without date. TWO MISTAKES.

Each party, I think, was guilty of one blunder it inftcrwards seriously regrelted-the Republicans in refusing to include the South Platte country with'LU the boundaries of Kansas; the Democrats in reusing to sign the constitution they bad labored Killigently to perfect. I speak of what I consider the great mistake of the Republicans with all the more frankness because I was, at the, Untie, in hearty sympathy with their action, but I feel confident that no Republican member Is living to-day who does not deplore that decision. And I am equally conildent that within a brief time after the convention adjourned there were few Democratic members who did not seriously regret their reiusal to sign tho constitution. "ADDED TO THE STAltS."

PAItTING AT 'WTANDOTT.

It would violate the proprieties of such an occasion to comment on the personal feuds or partisan broils which onoe or twice marred the general harmony and orderly progress of the proceedings. These were very few, Indeed, and none of them, I think, outlasted tbe convention. The members parted, when the final adjournment same, with mutual respect and good will, and the friendships formed during the session have been unusually warm and enduring. SUBSEQUENT HISTORY.

On the 4th of October, 1850. the constitution i 3was submitted to the people for ratification or re- K

jeotiou, and, for the first time in the history of U Kansas, all parties cost a full, free and unhtimi-, ; dated vote. Tho Republicans favored, s n d t t j f i . Democrats generally opposed its adoption. Nearl> 10,000 ballots were polled, of which 10,421 were for and 5,530 against the constitution. , The, homestead clause submitted M J * i"fflff 5**?» proposlllon, was ratified by a vote of 8 78fi\Jox to, 4 77'2 sirainstit. Every county in the territory eVoept two Johnson and Morris, gave a majority for the constitution. .•-„•'.„ Two months later, December «, state and county officer* and members of the legislature were eleotod. and the people of Kansas having exhausted their authority in state building, M M O awaited the action of eongress. On the 1 " " oj April 1800, the house of representatives voted 134 to 7 3 , to admit Kansas as a state, under the I Wvandott constitution. Twice, during the next .•• eight months, tho senate defeated motions to con, ,%, S u e , t h e Kansas bill, but on the 21st of January, W 1 J198 6 1 , several Southern senators having ""fa?*; r. Seward "took a pinch of stuff;' J ^ e a U e d H It passed by a veto <

ffllM

During nearly twenty-two of the most eventful and exciting years of American history, the con- I stitutlon thus framed and ratified has defined the I powers and regulated the duties of the govern-1 ment of Kansas. Three legislatures have voted down propositions to call a new constitutional convention. Twelve or fifteen amendments have been submitted, but only eight have been approved by the people. Finally, in 1880, the legisla\ ture voted to submit a proposal for a new conven- [ I tion, and at the regular election held in November I of that year, this ballot was taken. The result wasJ a an indorsement of the old Wyandott consti t ution| I by[a majority far more emphatic and overwhelming I ' Sj than that by which it was originally adopted, the I •> Ivote standing 22,870 for, and 146,279 against the ^proposed convention, or nearly seven to one. y. It is doubtful whether the organic law of any t other state in the union has more successfully survived the mutations of time and inconstant public .sentiment, and the no less fluctuating necessities of a swiftly developing commonwealth. Of its seventeen articles, only four, and of its one . hundred and seventy-eight sections, only eight, , have ever been amended. And of the eight , Jj amendments adopted, only five have revoked or H modifies! the principles or polioy originally formuM lated, the others being changes demanded by the J growth of the state, or by the events of the civil jwar. The first amendment, ratified in 1 8 0 1 , provides that no banking Institution shall issue circulating notes of a less denomination .than SI—the original limitation being $5. In 1864 the provision requiring all bills to originate in the house of representatives, was repealed; and a section intended to pre" vent United States soldiers from voting, but which f was so worded that It deprived our volunteers ot ,that right, was also repealed. In 1867 an amendment was adopted disfranchising all persons who aided the "lost cause," or who were dishonorably discharged from the United States, or who had ,- defrauded the United States or any state during f the war. In 1868 the state printer amendment / w a s ratified. In 1873 the number «f senators and : representatives, originally limited to 3 3 and 100, : respectively, was increased to 4 0 and 125. In 1875 three propositions, each having in view biennial instead of annual sessions of the legislature, were adopted. And in 1 8 8 0 the prohibition amendment was ratified. These are all the changes that have been made In our. organio law during nearly a qnarter of a century.

It seems fitting that, in concluding this sketch of the convention and its labors, I should briefly narrate the subsequent history of its members. It was a small company, that which parted here twentythree years ago to-day, and It was made up, as I have said, largely ot young and vigorous men. But when this reunion was first suggested and I came to look over the familiar n a m e s l h a d s o often called during the long, hot days of that far away July, it was painful to note the havoc death I had made. It impressed me something as did a ] roll-call I once witnessed, in the red glare ofl blvouao fires after one of the great battles of the I war, when surviving comrades, answeredI "killed," or "woundod," to one-half the names I j of a regiment Ten of the fifty-two members com- j posing the convention I have not heard of for I many years. Of the remaining forty-two, twenty | est quietly in —"The reconciling grave, Where all alike lie down in peace together." The largest delegation was that from Leaven-1 worth county, and only ono of the ten gentlemen • comprising it, R. O. Foster, certainly survives, | Rare Sam Stinson, whose genial wit and brilliant I accomplishments won all hearts, was elected at-if torney general in 1861, by a unanimous vote,! and died in his old Maine home, in February,.! 1866. William 0. McDowell was chosen judge of 1 tbe First judicial district at the Ant election under I tho constitution; servedfonryears;and'wsskllles.il

PI by a fall from an omnibus in St. Louis, July 16, 1866. John P. Slough removed to Colorado, was colonel of a regiment raised in that state, and later a brigadier general; was appointed after the war, chief justice of New Mexico, and was killed at Santa Fe. Samuel Hippie removed to Atchison county; served as a quartermaster during the war, was elected state senator in 1867; and died in January, 1876. 'William Perry removed to Colorado, where he died. P. S. ParkB returned to Indiana, and engaged in journalism and the law until his death, three years ago. Fred Brown died in St, Joseph, Mo., and John Wright at his home in Leavenworth county. Robert Orabam, of Atchison county, the oldest member, died in 1868. Three of the rive members from Doniphan county, Robert J. Porter, Benjamin Wrigley and John Stairwalt, are dead. The members from Linn, James M. Arthur and Josiah Lamb, are both dead, as are also N. C. Blood of Douglas, and T. S. Wright, of Nemaha. W. R. Griffith, of Bourbon, was elected the first state superintendent ot publio instruction and died, February 12, 1862, before the completion of the term. James G. Blunt, of Anderson, who became a major general during the war, arid won renown as a brave and skillful soldier, died in Washington a year or more ago. James Hanway, of Franklin, after a long life of usefulness, died at his old home only a brief while ago. President James M. Winchell returned to New York after tho outbreak of the rebellion and resumed his connection with the Times, first as war correspondent and afterwards as an editorial writer. Until his death, a few years since, he was employed upon that great journal. SCUVIYINO MEMBERS.

'

Of the surviving members, many have attained tho highest distinctions of the state, and all, I believe, are useful and honored citizens. At the first election under the constitution, Samuel A. Kingman was chosen as associate justice of the supreme court; in lSGii he waselecteu chief justice, and reelected in 1872. Benj. F. Simpson was elected the first attorney general of the state, but resigned the position to enter the army, in which he served throughout the war. He has since been speaker of the house of representatives, several'times a state senator, and is now serving his second term as United States marshal. Solon 0. Thacher was chosen district judge at the first election under the constitution, has since occupied many positions of honor and responsibility, and is a member of the present state senate. J. C. Burnett, S. D. Houston and 8. E. Huffman were members of the first state senate, and Geo. H. Lillio was a member of the first ' house of representatives. E. G. Ross was appoint- > ed United States senator in 1866, and elected in ; 1367, serving until 1871. John J. Ingalls was '• chosen as state senator in 1861; was elected United States senator in 1873, and re-elected in 1879, and is still occupying that distinguished place. John T. Burris was lieutenant colonel of ' the Tenth Kansas, and subsequently Uistriot judge. Wm. P. Dutton, James Blood, L. It. Palmer, John i P. Greer and John Ritchey have filled many posi-1 tions of local trust and prominence, with credit J and usefulness. H. C. Faster and John W. Forman ' are residing in Texas; William Hutchinson lives in ; Washington; and CI. B. McClellan, E. MooreandE. M.Hubbard are still prominent and honored citizens of the counties they represented. My old friend, Col. Cablo May, sole surviving member of the three free state constitutional conventions, lives in Montgomery county. It Dean Swift was right in saying that whoever oould make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow on a spot of ground where one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians," what honor is due this sturdy Kansas farmer, who, during a residence of twenty-eight years in the state, has never—not even in the disastrous seasons of 1860 and 1874—failed to raise a good crop. Even the heroic service he rendered the cause of freedom during the darkest days of the struggle in Kansas, was less valuable to the state than this practical and triumphant vindication of its soil and climate. "LOST TO SIGHT."

Stalwart, quiet Wm. McCullough I hare not heard of for many years. John A, Middleton, of Marshall county, was a soldier in the Seventh Kansas, removed to Montana in 1864, and I have learned nothing of him since. H, D. Preston, of Shawnee; R. L. Williams, P. H. Townsend and 1 Ed. Stokes, of Douglas; Allen Crocker, of Woodson; A. I). McGune, of Leavenworth; J. H. Slgnor, of Allen, and J. T. Barton, of Johnson, have all disappeared and left no sign. I know not whether they are living or dead. TUB OFFICEUS.

"What workman wrought i t s ribs of steel. Who made each mast, a n d sail, and rope. What anvils rang, what h a m m e r s beat.

T h r o u g h the groping i n e x perience of our state's childhood and the still m o r e , perilous ambitions of its y o u t h , through tho s t o r m ; of civil war and the calm of prosperous peace, t h e Wyandott conventton has justified the confident hopes of its early friends. T h e most marvelous changes have been wrought i n this country s i n c e it was framed. The huge brick building in w h i c h the convention held its s e s s i o n s , long ago c r u m bled and fell. The distracted, dependent and t u r bulent territory has grown t o b e a peaceful, p o w erful and prosperous state. I t s hundred t h o u s a n d people have multiplied to a m i l l i o n . Upon its v a s t and solitary prairies, where t h e n bloomed a w i l d . and unprofitable vegetation, "wherewith t h e mower fllleth not his hand, n o r h e that b i n d c t h sheaves his bosom," miles of g r e e n meadows n o w glisten with morning d e w , a n d thousand* o f golden wheat fields s h i m m e r in the n o o n d a y !: sun, and millions of acres of tasseling c o r n , rustling in the sweet t w i l i g h t air. tell of h a r - j vests so bountiful that t h e y - w o u l d feed m c o n t i nent. Every quiet valley a n d prairie swell ia< dotted with pleasant houass, w h e r e happy c h i l dren laugh and play and m e n a n d women g o t h e i r busy ways in prosperous c o n t e n t . Eager l e a r n e r s throng 8,000 school houses. Ohuroh bells ring i n nearly every county from t h e Missouri to the C o l - ! orado line. More than 4 , 0 0 0 m i l e s of r a i l w a y bind town and country, factory and farm a n d Store, into one community. A n a over all-the i n - . stitutfons and activities of t h i s great, i n t e l l i g e n t and orderly commonwealth, broods the g e n i u s ' and spirit of the Wyandott constitution. U n d e r its ample authority and direction, just and g e n e r | ous laws have maintained t h e r i g h t s of citizenship, I given protection to labor a n d property, stimulated j enterprise, multiplied industries, opened to e v e r y child and youth the door of school and c o l l e g e , encouraged morality, fostered temperance, p r o - . tected the weak, restrained t h e strong, and s t e r n l y punished outbreaking crime. A n d still the s u n - . shine of pspular confidence a n d favor falls u p o n the constitution. It has outlived half of its trainers,' and when, a quarter of a c e n t u r y hence, the l a s t i surviving member of tho c o n v e n t i o n awaits the>:~ inevitable hour, the W y a n d o t t constitution m a y yet be the chart and compass o r d e r i n g and g u i d i n g the destinies of a state whose imperial manhood ia foreshadowed by its stalwart a n d stately y o u t h .

AIIJIJKKNW. . AYe publish on the second page o thlB paper Uie very excellent and •«!•»»• eatingaddress delivered atWvnni'i.'e yesterday, before the Cotistltuti iinl Convention reunion. It will be fou..d replete with Information in regard to the history and personnel of the convention, which will interest a great many people in Kansas at this time, and will grow more Interesting and valuable as the date of that important occasion recedes in history, and the actors therein pass away, Col. Martin was Seoretary of the convention, and was the youngest man connected with it in an ofUoial capacity, being then not twenty-one years of age. But he did his work well in recording the prooeedings of the body, and has well told ihe story of the gathering, its purpose, its logic and its personnel, in this address. We commend its perusal of our readers. But there is a conspicuous omission in the personal history of this sketch, though it is an omission that Col. Martin would not be expected to fill. Among the several members and officers of that Convention, there are none more deserving and few more conspicuous, for brilliancy of service during the war tban Col. John A.. Martin, the secretary of the Cinven-I tion and author of the address. Entering the army at twenty-three years of age as Lieut. Colonel of the Eighth Kansas (Infantry), he soon found himself in command of the regiment as its Colonel, and there, was not a regiment that was better drilled, or better disciplined, or performed more efficient service than that, and but few ife: if any regimental commanders who did harder fighting or rendered more signal service to their country.

But they have followed it, always behind, pulling back and i rhooting whoa, but still following on. They j were tbuH occupied during all the dreadful j J ri at* of the war; they have been thua occu-1 pied ever since. They bitterly opposed I and ileplorcd tho war for the preservation off1 the Union, and when it wan over they pre••-•*.. V tended to rejoice in the triumph of V-^

•f-

nounced tnWnteHtloi ef Slavery,-but | they have since acknowledged that the Republican policy *w right, They vehemently resisted and'decried the green back, declaring that it was a worthless rag,aont forth like Cain,ftvagabond with a brand of ehame on its brow—But they have since declared that the gxeenbaekia the beat money in the world. They opposed the Homestead act, but now they acknowledge the beneficent apirit of its provisions. So of every great policy or accomplishment of the Republican party- its llual triumph has been won against the determined opposition of the Democraoy, and received, after it was won, the reluctant approval of that party. With such a record the Republican party has aright to expect the continued devotion of the best minds and heartn of the country. It has never ceased to deserve that devotion, and it deserves it now as fully and fairly as during any period of ita won" dertul career. It has a right to more than this. It has a right to expect of its members and friends that uuity, concord and tolerance so essential to Its success. 11 lias a right to demand of its members thM they Bha.ll Dot indulge in useless quarrels over differences whicli only the lapse of time can finally adjust and reconcile. Every soldier who followed the old flag will, I think, call to mind occasions when he firmly believed that the war was not conducted as it should be, arid when the gravest differences _ of opinion concerning the methods' and policy of his commanders were widely prevalent. But if he was a true soldier he remembers also, and with justifiable pride, that while he may have indulged occasionally in ft lit. tie wholesome private growling, he never for sn instant forgot his duty to his country ; he abated not one jot of his enthusiastic devotion to her cause; he dreamed of nq delight but her service, and he asked no reward but hex triumph. In this spirit let us discharge our duty to-day. In this reverent affection for the ;rand old party of our confidence and love, et us forget everything except that we aie Republioans. Personal feuds have no place here. Personal disappointments and personal hates have no right to invade this, oucasion with their petty contentions and unworthy bitterness. We are delegated to select as candidates men worthy of Republican support, and this is the only duty devolved upon us by the authority of the Republican voters we represent. We shall find differences of opinion in making our choice of candidates, of course, hut we ought to adjust these differences in a spirit of mutual tolerance, without criminations or bitterness. Our gune should be pointed at the common enemy, and never at the soldiers of the Republican cause, fighting by our sides. Animated by such a spirit, actuated by Buch motives, we shall so perform our duty as to deserve the confidence reposed in UB by the Republican voters, and promote the success of the candidates we shall select.

You belong (o the party which is the beat product of our National life, The tremon-! dous events of the past sixteen years havo formed and moulded iU character and capacity, It embrace* the mcu who were driven,firstby love of freedom and then by love of country. Into i>oliitcal affiliation. Thus organised, it entered upon Its beneficent career. It saved the Republic. It abolished Slavery. It enfranchised • raw. It made just provisions fur the Nation'* dp. fenders. It repudiated repudiation, and established the National credit. It enacted » homestead law under the provision* of wbi.h overy man is entitled to a free home, ll settled the disputed question of the right of expatriation in accordance with the American doctrine. It established the humane policy of peaceful arbitration in International controversies. It furnished ft sound and uniform currency, which withstood tht> test of a widespreadfinancialpanic without depression, or the loss of • dollar to any citizen. It has rednced the national debt, ainco the close of the war, over six hundred and seventy millions, uud at the «ame lime abolished all forms of internal taxation except on liquors and tobacco. It has elevated the Union from a discordant confederacy <>f States, half free, half slave, into a homogeneous Republic, atruneveompact, free, and respected by all the world. These are the Reforms accomplished by the Republican party. They are glorious to contemplate. They enrich history beyond precedent. And thus crowned with * glorious and suecejadnl work, and full of fresh ;fe life and vigor,the Republican party marchea forward to now achievements. It is able ind willing to meet the new istnea of the hour as it mot and settled those of the past, in such a manner ns will liest promote the ,'.'& welfare of all CIHHMS of the people. Wherever "Reform is necessary," it can be safely trusted to make it ft practical reality. And above all it can be implicitly depended upon to insist upon that Reform which it the supreme question of this campaign—that Reform whioh is necessary to protect the honor Md preserve the integrity of this Republic,

The Republican party 1B inflexibly opposed to the aims and objects -of lwth of these organizations. It proposes to resist nliko the payment of a single dollar of rebel claims, and the issue of a Riviglo dollar of "flat acrip." The Republican party lit the father of the old fashioned Ureenbnck. It will not be guilty of the crime of infanticide, nor will it |>crmlt another partv to substitute its ugly and unclean offspring for the beautiful and healthy child of Republican pntnotlsra. ThcKqmblican party has put the Greenback on an equality with gold and silver, and It insists that it shall steadily hold this high place—that it shall be, as it was originally intended to be and is now, redeemable, steady in its value and purchasing oowor, and representing the dollar of the civilised world because convertable into it. I sincerely believe that the Intelligence, the patriotism and the honesty of the American people can be relied upon to Rtistaiii the Republican party U|toa these issues. And they aro forces which, after all, any political party must depend upon for continued power. The opposing forces may occasionally win In a skirmish, or triumph hi a battle that is not decisive; but in the end Bight and Honesty and Patriotism allied will reach their Appomottox.

Every seatin the different delegations was tilled by a (stalwart, and intelligence and earnestness were stamped upon < very countenance. That the Republicans of Atchison county mean business this year, was plainly evidenced by the interest and imthusiafm manifested by their delegate representatives in the Convention yesterday. .

This is an anniveraary of the First Kanmi i, and upon such an ocuisluti, and in a similar spirit, I declare that if £ was not an Kahili ICansa* man, I would like to be a Fiist Kansas man. This is especially a reunion of the Pint Kansas, but to their festival, with true sol dierly fellowship, they have invited*!], other soldiers who care to join in celebrating the anniversary of one of the most/deaperale battlee of the war, and especially all 'who have, not exactly "drank from the ssme canteen," but served in the same commands. With the* exception of my own regiment, I had, during the war, a more familiar acquaintance with the First loan with any other body of Kansas troops. And the First represented, probably more than any other ragimen',that magnificent uplifting of national pride, patriotism and enthusiasm which succeeded the first shot at bumpier. No man whocaonot remember the epirit of that hour can have any conception of the fierce, strong, irresistable outburst which flowed over the whole land when the i|ash of that gun revealed the nation's danger. There r was more coolness and deliberation, and no doubt quite as much sincere pitriotiem and noble conseQrat'on. to a g«nt cause, in the formation of regiments under subsequent 'calls. But the men who responded'to Abra" ham Lincoln's flrsloall for 75,000 men, represented, more than any others,the passionate resentment and white-heat enthusiasm of that most startling and momentous event in Aruer ioan history. To them belonged the soldiers of the first Kansas- And the regiment nobly sustained the promise of its rapturons and wonderful organisation.

I had, in the Convention and out of it, an devoted, as generous, as gallant and as faithful friends as any candidate ever had.

Hon. Webb MeKall, nf Kinith county, was ifln ft called for and spoke briefly. The reoep|ibn wns concluded by an address by Col. r>j&est in which a magnificent tribute was paid IsfK Martin; in wli.lch he detailed the earnest •Wishes of Atchison that success might havu ' -awaited him, but reiterated the assertion that the honorable, manly, and straightforward contest had shorn defeat of its dteappointjnents, and that the ordeal through which he had.'pnssed had only the more endeared him tp the hundreds of warm friends who had jwjtiiefwed the unequal contest.

A determined effort will be laffde to secure the locution of a "Home" in Kansas, and It ou J ht to stweeeil. There is none west ol the Mississippi. In Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Western territories, there nrs probably over 50,000 pensioners. Oat of this number there are hundreds who are Unfitted, by reason, of wounds or other disabilities incurred in-the war .of the rebellion,.lot earn a living.

Delegate Representation IN

)l tBit$r~ At the Jidjuraeeting of the committee, I submitted a resolution fixing the basis of representation in the National convention of 1884, aa follows: "1st. Each State shall bo entitled to fonr delegates at large. Each Congressional District shall be entitledad. to one delegate. 3d. In addition to the delegates at large, each State shall be entitled to representation in proportion to its Republican vote; i *., one delegate for every twelve thousand Republican votes, or fraction of over naif that number, cast for President in 1880." It IB apparent that the existing basis of delegate representation in National Conventions is unjust and unrepublican. The objections to it may be briefly summed up: 1st, The equal representation of Republican voters is, under this system, impossible. 2d. A fair expression of Republican sentiment is, under its operations, impossible. 8d. It makes no allowance for increased representation following increased population, except at the end

THE WYANDOTTE CONVENTION. MR.

I'RKHIUKNT :

It is often charged that participants in assemblages of this character are apt Ml exaggerate the importance or tho occasion thoy commemorate, anil, after tin* manner of otto of our poetn, mug in chorus : "T celebrate myself." IVrhajw I can speak of the Wyandotte Convention and its work without Iwifig accused wfthin solf.grutulatiou | for I was more of an. observer of it* proceedings tluui a participant in thma. I recorded what was done, hut I hail no part or lot in tho doing. If its work had been crude or weak, I could not fairly have boon hold responsible for the tail, utv, An it wan strong, efficient and enduring, I can felicitate you, the survivors of those who wrought this groat Rervice fur Kansas, without a MiHpu-ion of Hclf-prnise. RAJWAH tTONHTttUtUMUfi I'ONVRNTIUNH.

KonrftMtYvHtbttwframed Constitutions for this Stnto. Tlw first aswmblwl nl't'opoka. mi the Wd ofOi-toluir, IHftS, and adjourned on tlui Uttt of November, after a session of twenty day*. It was composed of forty.*evou member*, of whom thirty.one' signed the Constitution. On the lAUl of Ih-eeinher thin instrument was submitted to the people for ratification or rejectUm. Ouly t,7?7 ballot* worn east, all hut 4U beiug favorable. Oiw of iu sections, a provision excluding uegrocM and mulatloe» from tho Stale, wan submitted an an itulopoudont proposition, and adopted by .10 altlrmativo vote of l,'2H7, to 45H against it. The wvond convention was that hold at lieeoiiiplim, which mot on tho ith of.lune, 1HA7, ami afior .1 se*«inii of four day*, adjourned until tho IWtb of October, 11finaladjournment being reached 011 the Ud of Novoml»r. It was iHiinpoMsl of Msty.four inomhors, forty-five «f if hum signed tlw organic law it framed, and it* scsiiuii continued twenty days. No direct vote oil thi* Coii«lilttliou wn» provided for. Tlw Schedule ordered two forms of ballot, otic the "C institution with Slavery," tlw other, "t'lMiMituliou with no Slavery." It was tho old tnrkoy and Uuxard choice. The I'ree Stale tmm refused to vole at the election, hold 011 tho "21st of December, ami only 0.T18 ballot* were im*t, H.U7 being for Slavery ami ABU against Slavery The Kroo State men had, however, elected a majority of the Territorial LegWlnluro in October, ami at a special sea. -ton of that lowly, held in 1),•I-.MIII.IT, a law was passed providiug for a di< rt'ct vole 00 the I'lii-iituiiuii Thin election was bold nil the 14th of .January, l*oS, t culling; ugaio*t the Cinstitutiun, ltt.'JUQ; for.

Auain it was rejected, tho ItalloU iu iu favor lieiitg only l,7H(*,nud those against it, ll.HlHl.

[2] The Leavenworth Convention met nt Minneolu, March '-'oil, IH3*, and at once adjourned to Leavenworth, where it nMMMMnhlftl March tfolll. It was composed of ninety-five members, was in session only I'leWfl d ivs, and the Constitution it framed was signed by oighty-three persons. '1 his instrument was adopted at an election held May 11th, by n very email vote, the pro-Slavery men taking no part ill iho <'»int»-st. It vnv> never a popular organic law, and many Free State men wlm supported it did so under protest. An earnest effort was made, by \\w Kepublieun*. to secure the admission of Kansas under the Tcmekn Constitution, ami by the Democrats, with a few exceptions, to bring the Territory in under llltl Lecompton Constitution. But no serious or determined mutest was waged, in Congress, for admission under the Leavenworth Constitution, and in less than eight months the movement in its behalf was formally abandoned. THE WYANDOTTE CONVENTION.

Early in February, 1859, the Territorial Legislature jiussod tin net submitting to the people the question of callingft.Constitutional Conveution. This vote was taken March 28th, and resulted : For, fi,.*?l>l>; against. 1,425. On the 10th of May, 1859, the Republican party of Kansas wits organized, at Osuwatnniie, and at the election held on the i'th »f June, for delegates to the Wyandotte Convention, the Republican and Democratic parties confronted each other in Kansas for the first time. The iVum . crate carried the counties of Leavenworth. Doniphan, Jefferson ami .lack son, and elected one of the two delegates from .Johnson. The Uepiiidicans were successful in all the other Counties voting, The total vi»t>' polled was 14,000. The Republican membership was thirty live : I>••]•• ocratic, seventeen. The Convention then chosen assembled on thefitIt day of.Inly. I s '•'.! In its composition it was an unusual, not to say rinurkahlc, K:in.i- «... semblage.

[3] the Democratic side, tt>o, appeared men before unnoted in the annals of the s t i m u ^ and tivmimdous conflict that had Cor years made the young Territory lltu cynosure of a Continent's intiiroHt. None of the prominent pro-Slavery nii'ii who sat in the Ijeenmptou Convention or the pro-Slavery Legislatures—-Calhoun, Striugfnllmv, Henderson, Elmore, Wilson, C a r r u n d others—appeared in this body. 1'ivhups the ahst net-of these party loaders was a fortunate thing for the Convention and the incipient Slate. For in discriminating intelligence, in considerate Will lor the welfare of the people, in etitholie grasp of principles, unil in capacity for deliuing theories clearly and compactly, tin'incinbers of this body were not wanting. On the other hand, there won-fewer jealousies mid far less wrangling than would have been possible had the envious and aspiring parly leaders been present. I think it is certain thai the work was heller done, done with more sobriety, sincerity, prudence and real ability, than would have resulted had the recognised chief-'of the rival parlies been on the tloor of the Convention. The pioneers -the John Baptists of the Kree Stale cause were all tit- Topoka, and I hi' t'ousiiititiou they framed is disfigured by some blotches and mueh useless verbiage. Tim lenders were all at Leavenworth, where they schemed fur piveedeime, and sprout! traps to catch one another, and quarreled over III ill-essential*, anil did everything lint make a popular Constitution, l.eeoniplon was the last expression of n beaten, desperate and wrong-headed, but intellectually vigorous faction, and was really, burring the mean method tiffin submission, and its attempt to perpetuate Slavery, an admirable organic law. The younger nun of the Territory constituted Ihe Convention at Wyandotte They eaine upon the field fresh, enthusiastic, and with a place in (he Wnrhl nt'thouglii and aetiim to compter. They rceogui/.oil tie fact that they luu-i d<> exiremelv well to secure popular favor, and they >et al»mt their Ittsk with indiHry, Iiilflllgi'tt uul nrudenec. They were not martyrs or reformers, us many of those ai 'lopeka were; nor jealous pnliiieiaiis in* fiii'liiiiiisl-s, as uio*t of those at Leavenworth were. They had n>> old buttle* to light over ngain. no personal feud* to distract them, no reenlleetioii ot former defeats or victories to reverse or maintain. They were their own prophet* They had had no experience in Constitutinii making, and hence did not limit backward. They were not specialist*. A few had hobbies, but the va-t majority had no bees hu/.ziug in their bonnet,'. A few were dogmatic, bm lite many were anxious to discus*, and willing to be convinced. A few were lniptaciiius, but the majority were thinkers and worker-. S»mie were accomplished scholars, hut the majority were ini'tl of ordinary education, whose faculties had been sharpened and trained by the hard experience of an uclivc and earnest life. Many were vigorous, direct, intelligent speakers; several were n a l l v t'hsiih'tit: nud a few may justly be ranked with lite most versatile and brilliant men Kansas has ever numbered uniimg her citi/etis. V.-ry few were old llti'll Uuly fifteen iiflhc fifty two members were nVcr fortv t'ver one third were under thirty, and nearly two thirds under thirty live, Very few, H* 1 have until, had previously appeared as representative* of |l|e people in any rerritoii.il assemblage, and this was cpcciallv true of (In- men whmc talent-, industry and force soon approved them leader-. Samuel A Kiinr.nati had been in the Territorv only abotu eivditeeu mouth*, and was unknown, oiil-ide <>f Hrowit euuuty, until he appeared al Wyandotte, Solon O, Thin-her wu* a young lawyer of Lawrence, never before prominent in public allitirs. .John J . Iugalls

[4] had served, the previous winter, a3 Engrossing Clerk of tho Territorial Council. Samuel A. Stinson was a young attorney, recently from Maine. William C. McDowell had never beeu heard of outside of Irfavenwnrtlt, Benjamin F. Simpson was a boyish-looking lawyer from Miami county, and John T. Burris bad been practicing, for a year or two, before .in*. tices' courts in Johnson county. John P. Slough had boon u mc-mhor »»f the Ohio Legislature, but was a new comer in Kansas; and K. (5, Rns* was the publisher of a weekly newspaper at Topoku. One-half of the members had been in the Territory less than two -f years. Six came iu 185#, four in .1855, and twelvis lu 18f»ti, while Mr. Forman, of Doniphan, dated his residence from 1848; Mr. Palmer. »( Pottawatomie, from 1854, and Mr. Houston, of Riley, from ISftSt, Forty one were from Northern States, seven from tin; South, and four were of foreign birth, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany each contributing one. It appeara singular that only one of the. Western States. Indiana, was represented iu the membership, that State furnishiug six delegates. Twelve hailed from New England, Ohio contributed twelve, Pennsylvania six, and New York four. Only eighteen belonged to tinlegal profession—an unusually small number of lawyers in such a body. Sixteen were farmers, eight merchants, three physicians, three manufacturers, one a mechanic, one a printer, ono a land agent, and one a xurveyor. Tho oldest member was Robert Graham, of Atchison, who was 55; the youngest, Benj. F. Simpson, of Lykins Co.. (now Miami, i who was 23. A WOUKINO ItUOY.

It was a working body, from the first hour of its session until tin- hi-t There is a tradition that the Continental Congress which promulgated tinDeclaration of Independence was materially hastened iu its deliberations over that immortal document by swarms of Hies (hat invaded rile ball where it sat, and made the life of it-s members a burden. Perhaps the intense heat of the rough-plastered room where the Convention nut, Lithe kuowlcdge that Territorial scrip would be received by iui)iniiiinnte landlords only at a usurious discount, had something to do with illgifii! dispatch iu business. But certainly the Convention went t" work wifh an energy and industry I have never seen paralleled in n Kniisn-. drhb. i ative body since that time. It perfected its organization, adopted ridefor its government, discussc I the best mode nf procedure in Iritmiit^ a Constitution, and appointed a Committee to report UIMI that oubiifl, during the first day's session; all the standing Coinmilt>i •* wt-iv "announced on the third'dav; and by the close nf the fifth dav it had t|i* posed of two very troublesome contested election eases, decided thai the Ohio Constitution should be the model for (hut of Kansas, imrnrkd sir. rangements for reporting and printing its debates, and m«trtt> >i-d in Committees upon a number of disputed questions. The v«H» on M-h-i tm-r« a model for the Constitution was. on the second ballot: f.>r (In-1 »lii»i'.»» stitution, 25 votes; Indiana, 2:1; and Kentucky, 1.

I have studied the composition of these Committee, with some interest, reviewing the work of their members in the Convention, and recalling their subseipient eareers. And it appears to me thai in making them up. President Wiuehell exhibited phenomenally ipiiek and ;ieeurato judgment of men. He was, indeed, one %tl' the best presiding officers I have ever known. His imperturbable coolness, never for an instant milled by (he must Midden and passionate outbreaks of exeitenmnt. in the Conveuti"!!; his mtsterv of allI the niceties of parliamentary law; his uiiiforin eiuirlesy and (net: his promptness and clearness in stating his decision* 1 ami above all, the mingled grace iiud kindness nnd linniitss with which he uiiuoiimvd to an indignant member an adverse ill*. cisitm, were really wonderful.

i t(« ihexi.vth day u resolution favoring hieunial sessions of the legislature adopted stsh'eii year*afterward was,submitted and referred The lint t»fa long series «»f resolutions nr |in»|ntw>t) sections of the Coitstiiutiott, ).r..hibitio-.r the settlement »f negror* or muhiltoe.s within the limits of the Stale, was iiUo introduced This iittantitHi, with oihers of a kindred na. dire, stiett a* propositions to prohibit colored children ntU-mliug the

[6] schools, or to exclude them from the University, or to forbid tho appropriation of any funds for their education, and last, ami meanest of all, to deny to negroes the shelter of county poor houses when Omt and helpless, was voted upon again and again, first in one form and then ill another, and to the enduring honor of the majority, always defeated 1» seems singular, in this day and generation, that such theories found persistent and earnest advocates But it sliould he remembered that all tins happened before the war. wheu slavery was still an "institution" in nearly halt the States of the Union. The pro-Slavery party was, of course, solidly in favor of excluding free negroes troin the Stale, and less than four years prior to the meeting of tho Convention, tho Free State parly, in voting on the Topeka Constitution, had given a decided majority III favor of such exclusion. It therefore required genuine courage ami principle to go upon record against each and every proposition of this eharae ter. For very few members who so voted felt absolutely certain of the endorsement of their constituents. The first Article of the Constitution reported, that Ml Corporations and Banks, was submitted on the, sixth day and considered. It was stated, by the President, that many other Committees bad their report* iu the hands of the printer, and during the next few days they began to come in very rapidly. The Convention, to expedite work, adopted a resolution requiring all Committees to report on or before Saturday, the eleventh day of the session. THH KOUMSAttltW OK TIIK STATU.

On the seventh day the annexation of that portion of Nebraska lying south of the Platte river, was formally considered.

A motion made to lay this amendment on the table, was defeated, bv a vote of 18 ayes to 31 miys.

Every quiet valley and prairie swell is dotted with pleasant homes, where happy children laugh and play and men and women go their busy ways in prosperous content. Eager learners throng eight thousand school houses. Church bells ring in nearly every county from the Missouri to the Colorado line.

And over all the institutions and activities of this great, intelligent and orderly Commonwealth, broods the genius and spirit of the Wyandotte Condition. Under itB ample authority and direction, just and generous laws have maintained the rights of citizenship, given protection to labor and property, stimulated enterprise, multiplied industries, opened to every child and youth the door of school and college, encouraged morality, fostered temperance, protected the weak, restrained the strong, and sternly punished outbreaking crime. And still the sunshine of popular confidence and favor falls upon the Constitution. It has outlived half of its framers, and when, a quarter of a century hence, the last surviving member of the Convention awaits the inevitable hour, the Wyandotte Constitution may yet be the chart and compass ordering and guiding the destinies of a State whose imperial manhood is foreshadowed by its stalwart and stately youth.

It B was one of tho first volunteer bodies that g oaino "to the fore," and served in four of ' the great armies of the Union, Its sorvioe began in what was aftorwtlrn known as the Army of the Frontier: thence, early in 1862, it was transferred to tho Army of the Mississippi; lu tho summer 11 j or the same year it joined tho Army of tho Ohio, and in November became a part of the Army of the Cumberland.

— 4 — I t it no vain-glorious or empty boasting to declare, as I do. that to have served in the Eighth Kansas is a fact of which any man has a just right to ne proud. N o regiment in tho army of the Union during the civil war can cite participation in campaigns of greater magnitude, events of more romantic and exciting interest, or marches over a vaster scope of country. Nor did a n y w p ment more conspicuously Illustrate, in camp or field, a loftier devotion to duty a more unselfish patriotism, or a more constant courage. The Eighth Kansas served in four of the great armies of the Union. Its service began in whatwas afterwards known as the " Army of the Frontier; thence, early in 1862, it was transferred to the " Army of the Mississippi; in the summer of the same year it joined the " Army of the Ohio ;" and in November became a part of the "Army of the Cumberland." With this military division it served until its final muster-out, in January, 1866. Its organization was commenced in August, 1861, and its first company was mustered in on the 28th of that month. By the 12th of October, eight companies had been recruited and mustered ; in December, the ninth was added; and early in J a n u a r y the regiment had its full complement. In February, however, a reorganization of Kansas regiments was made. Companies D and H, of the Eighth, which were cavalry, were transferred to the Ninth Kansas; Companies F and K were consolidated, and three companies of Colonel Graham's battalion, were transferred to the Eighth, making it a full regiment of infantry. From the date of its organization, in September, 1861, until May, 1862. four oompanles of the regiment did duty along the Missouri border, in Southern Kansas j others formed part of the post garrteons at Forts Leavenworth, Riley, Kearney and Laramie. Early in May five companies were ordered to Corinth, Mississippi, and proceeding to Columbus, Kentuoky, by steamer, they marohed thence along the line of the Mobile and Ohio railroad to Corinth. After a service of two months in that army, the Division to which the Eighth was attached was ordered to reinforce General Buell. By rapid marohea through Eastport, Mississippi, and Florence, Alabama, it joined the " Army of the Ohio" at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and took part in the extraordinary campaign Which ended at Louisville, Kentuoky. Thence it moved southward again, with the command to which it was attached, through Perryville and Lancaster to Crab Orchard, and thence to Nashville. There it remained nearly six months, doing provost duty, and there, in February and March, 1868, the five companies left ill Kansas joined headquarters, and for the first time in its history the regiment was united. Early in June, 1863, the Eighth rejoined Its Division at Murfreesboro. I t participated, during that Summer, In the campaign against Tullahoma, and, late in August, forming the advance guard of the 20th Corps, crossed the Tennessee river at Caperton's ferry, in pontoon boats. It took M i « t t » p a r t in all the movements of the campaign which followed, ending with the battle of Ohlcamauga and the siege of Chattanooga. On the 28.1 of November. ~ v « i n g the front of Its brigade as skirmishers,-the Eighth captured Orchard Knob, the headquarters of Generals Grant and Thomas during the battle. «***™»£ in* two days. On the 25th it participated In the storming of Mission Ridge, and ita flag was one of the first, If not the first, planted on the summit

XtHWiJl»in*\v/n*" - '- im—n •.-"-* **n*• - • • Before adjournment for dinner Gov. Robinson Introduced Hon. John A. Martin, with some very oulogistio remarks. Mr. Martin was received with great applause. He spoke us follows: Mr, Fresidi t anil fellow citlseim. On the 20r. of September, 1800, one of (lie greatest and moat honored of Americans, speaking In Lawrence In reply to >n address Of CJOV. Itobinsoii said:

"Henceforth, It my conlldonce in tlm Amorlc-m; Union wavers,! shall come lioreil to learn that the Union Is stronger than lin- !i man ambition, hocanso It Is founded on l lie; aft nation of the American people. If over 1 I shall waver In my affection for freedom, M shall comoiup hare and revlow it—here,•'•• under tno inspiration of one lmiidrod tonus- | and freemen, saved trow slavary. Hei.ce-.,• forth, these shall not ho my HontlmUs alone,'| but the sentiment of all. Man will come up -. to Kansim as they go up to Jorusalom. Thin •> shall bo a sacred city." It U appropriate, therefore, that the. old settlers of JvunsaH should " come up hero," to this Moooa of the Kreo Statu pilgrims to renew their affection for freedom and to rejoice over the triumphs won In her uume —here undui- the inspiration not of nun hundred thousand, but of a million nnd a quartsr of froemen, saved from slavery. The fields, the churches, the school houaas, to which Mr. Howard referred, in the speech I hayo quoted from, have been multiplied an hundred fold. I have utile doubt that there is mora nionoy Invested In the ohurubos and school houses of Douglas county, at the present time, than in these of all Kansas In ltKKi, The. products of our market garden this year will exceed in value all the farm products of the territory twenty-four years r-go. Too residences erooted lit KttiH during the present year will exceed, both In number and hi value, all the residences of tho toriitnrv at the date of Its admission Into tho union, Wo ! had not a mile of railway In tlie state at 5 that time; now wo havo neorly n,lKIO miles, traversing nearly every organUod oountv, aud tho capital invested In these railways proUbly exceeds tho value of all tho real property of tho state at tbo date of Mr. Snwanl'M visit. We polled WfllQ votes thai year; wo will poll nearly, if not quite, aw,000 this year. AJ1 the live-stock of tho state at the date of lis admission numbered loss than'ilO,000 head; this your w* can count - nearly 4,000,U(lii farm animals, ^'ho four populous counties of tho statu now more Inhabitants than tho whole tery had at thq dale of its admission into T ' ton. •• '••••-..••"*••'.•

With confident faith the old settlers laid the foundations of » free commonwealth, and its majestic growth has mere than justified their most sanguine hopes. The development of the Statu has been no less wonderful than its eventful history, and both have excited tho interest and admiration of the clvllizod world. "I am," said Mr. Seward, In 18(10, "prepared to declare, and do declare, you people of Kansas the most intelligent, the bravest, the most virtuous people lit the United States." Whether this tribute was or was t m not deserved it Is certain that-noState In th" Union could then, or can now, claim a braver, a more intelligent, a more enterprising, or a moro liberty loving au<< law respecting population. Nor can any State point to a morn romantic history or boost of more splendid achievements than these 1 that have made Kansas what she Is. Hero 1 the struggle was commenced which grow and Intensified and spread until tho whole country was enlisted in its Issue; and hero, four hundred miles long and two hundrce miles wide, blossoming witli abundant harvests, dotted school bouses and churches, and hav; with ing a million and a quarter of busy, prosperous, Intelligent people, Is tho Old and the New Kansas -the Kansas that lighted up the future of our tmajgxiajjgmjhj tu« dear old days of long ago; the Kansas that fulfilling all tho proud mines of those early davH, still holds her regal plnro In tho iige» of tho nation mid of the world—the Centra! State, thn Stinllowor Htuto, and, best nf all, the Soldier .State, mi inhering among its people representatives of every regliop'il that .served In tho Union army. This IK the stii'r of our love and of our pride, growing always, in intellectual force as well as utatrrltt wealth; nu«i>r falling into rut*; nvvillit!••; i ;ytng now to keep her home* purr ami l.er young inauliod dean and healthy, as t.ra velv us, in the old days, she ,'tmik up the banner of Human KITedoin when It was trailed in § the dust by the gnvornmrut, ralum! ii aloft and protected It mid boro It tt< sneers* and ' honor."

Address to the Colored Voters of Kansas. Oct. 20,1884. It baa come to our knowledge that colored voters are being appealed to to vote for Geo. W. Glick, and against Col. John A. Martin. To us, who know both men, and their record in regard to our race in Kansas, this should be regarded as an insult. No colored man who has nny respect for himself, or his people, can vote for Geo. W. Glick, on account of the following facts, which are knowu to us personally, as matters of public record. John A. Martin came to Kansas to make it a Free State, and Geo. W. Glick came to make it a Slave State. In 1858, John A. Martin began to write for freedom in Ins paper, the Atchison Champion, and haa done HO ever siuce. In all these years, Geo. W. Glick has never writteu a word in behalf of our race, bond or free. In 1859, Geo. W. Glick began to run for office in this county, as a pro-slavery, negro-bating Democrat. In 1859, John A. Martin took part in the first Republican Convention iu Kansas, which declared "that freedom is national, and slavery iasectional, and we are inflexibly opposed to its extension to soil now free." In 1859, Geo. W. Glick WBB for slavery and John A. Martin was for freedom. In 1859, John A. Martin helped to form th« Constitution of this State, which declares "that slavery shall never exist in this State." Geo. W. Glick opposed that constitution because it did not forbid free men of color to utile in (hi* Stale. In 1860, when the Legislature had passed a law prohibiting slavery in Kansas, George W. Glick took part in a Democratic convention in tho city of Atchison which declared that the Legislature had no right to pass such a law; "that it was in disregard of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States; in contravention of the constitutional rights of fifteen States of tbe Utiion, aud calculated to weaken the bonds of the Union." John A. Martin favored that law; George W. Glick opposed aud protested to the last against making Kansas a free State. In 1801, when the slaveholders begun their war against the Union, George \V. Glick wits their friend. When the people of Atchison wero called on to declare whether they were for secession or 'he Union, John A. Martin supported George Fairchild and the. Union city ticket, while George W. Glick supported tho secession ticket, headed by Leonidns Haskell, who culled himself the " Bordcr-Uuflinn Lawyer." In 18(11, John A. Martin entered tho Union aririy and fought for the freedom of our race, while George W. Glick remained at home and fought with all his ability Lincoln and the Union cause. John A. Martin marched at the head itf his regiment, carrying freedom where he went, while George W. Glick skulked at home, and so conducted himself as to render himself extremely obnoxious to bis loyal fellow-citizens. In 18IK1, while John A. Martin was in tbe army fighting bravely, George W. Glick, iu bis placa in the State Legislature was refusing to vote thanka to the Union soldiers who had brought freedom to the slnvca in Missouri, Arkansas, and tho Indian Territory. During the war, John A. Martin fought side by aide with black men. Geo. \V. Oliek iu 1886, voting, rose, to protest against colored men being allowed to serve in tbe State militia, declaring that it wan "degrading " for white men to stand side by side with ATCHISON, KAS.,

negroes. A black man, in his opinion, was not good enough to I stop a bullet, or fit to be trusted with a gun to defend bis own fireside. In 1866, Geo. W. Glick, as member of a Democratic. EttfcM Convention, supported and voted for a resolution denounc.ng Congress for "the recognition of negro equality and negro suffrage," and declaring everlasting opposition to negro suffrage in Kansas. In 1867, John A. Martin declared for adult manhood suffrage in Kansas, and Geo. W. Glick fought it with all his might. John A. Martin supported the ammdmmUta the Qimtitution of the United States which gave to us all tho rights of oiliw'iiahip. and Geo. W. Glick opposed every one of these amendmentt. In 1868, when John A. Martin was keeping up the battle for manhood suffrage. Geo. W. Glick was active in his opposition, aud was active in the arrest of Albert Parker, of this city, a man as white as himself, though of colored blood, for illegal voting, aud solely on account of color. Such is the record of John A. Martin aud Geo. W. Glie.k, for twenty years and more. John A. Martiu worked to make KnnnM a free State; to opeu the State as an asylum for all men; t« abolish the last vestige of slavery on its soil. Ho fought for tbe Union, and to break the chains that bound our people. Ho strove to gain the ballot for us in Kausas. Ho supported our eauw in tbe nation, and welcomed us in 1870 as free and equal vutrr*. In all those years Geo. W. Glick hated and despised lift. Eft did what he could to set up tbe auction block and bring th« slave-driver's whip into Kansas. Ho tried to shut out freo negroes from the State. He favored the Rebels, who would have chained us down forever. He fought emancipation, civil right*, and equal suffrage. He declared wo wero not good enough to train in the ranks with white men. Ho annoyed, insulted, and harassed UB at the polls. He has never in his life voted to give us a right or a privilege, but has been always, openly or covertly, our bitter and malignant enemy. While Glick has been doing this, John A. Martin has been our friend from tho day he landed in Kansas till tho day he loyally supported Hon. II. 0, llrnee, tho first colored man ever nominated for tho Legislature, iu this State, against tho uegro-hater, Geo. W. Glick. John A. Martin ia our friend to-day, and Geo. W. Glick hates and despise* tin its he always has done, Certainly no man can do another man n greater injury than to make him a slave; and Geo, W. Gliok tried to do this to every black man. He was a friend to slavery as long as it lived, and it ia not his fault that Kansas is not a slaveholding country. The colored man who votes for Geo. W. Glick kisses the hand that smote him iu weakness, and helps to oflice the man who has never lost an opportunity to degrade htm, Whatever colored men elsowhero may do, the colored men of Atchison will not vote for this npiteful vilifier of their race. And every colored man in Kansas who votes for him will be counted a traitor to his people, who is willing to barter his principles for a dollar or a drink. JOHN L. WALLER. JOHN MAtlK.

the logic, the eloquence nor the wit of orators could do, to arouBe the sluggish I and convert the doubtful. I am fcratelul to the bright, enterprising, enthusiastic iournaliBts of Kansas—and no State in the Union can boast of brighter I or better newspapers than can Kansas— who so ardently and intelligently supported ruo. I am grateful to hundreds of Democrats anil Grcenbackors in the State, who, believing that I stood for obedience, to law, voted for mo. I am grateful even to the opposition, who, as a general rule, treated me courteously and J fairly. The exceptions to this rule only •»• 1 einpliosisuid it, '' There iB iiv me, therefore, no lack of j gratitude for the signal honor conferred • upon me by the people of Kansas. Indeed, tlvo measure of my gratitude is so fl full and overllowiiur that it weighs upon i ;!, •''j me, I feel under obligations to so many | ' *'#i "j people, I mil profoundly grateful to fiu V many, that when I think of it all, and of ; K how I am to testify my gratitude or requite the obligations I am under, I am overwhelmed with a sense of the poverty of my vocabulary of thankfuliice', ,' and of the vain aspiration of my desire ' to return even a lithe of my multitudinous obligations. Hut, grateful as I am to the. republicans of Kansas for tho signal honor they 1 have conferred upon me — an honor which lills the full measure of my ambilion—ami proud as 1 am of the magnificent victory won in Kansas, I cannot forget that the Republican banner of the Nation is, for the lirsl time in twenty-live years, trailing in defeat. If I loved th« party merely for its gifts of honor and of otliee; if I cared nut him: for its principles, and had no faith in their power to hem-lit uiel bless the people of America; if I reward• ed the contest between the liemoeralie and the Uenllhliean parties as a mere scramble tor the 41 tils t»t olliee, 1 would be content with my own personal vh-|.t ry, and accept it as all that 1 was interested in.

.MANHATTAN:—I came to your jubilee, as -pjome of you know, with grave reluctance. PThis was not because I failed to appreciate your generous kindness in desiring |!tb celebrate my election. It was not be-* . cause I was not sincerely thankful to ijM i ^ ^ ^ ^ i ' | you for your earnest support in the c a n - | s | I vass just closed. It was not because I | H | 1 was not deeply and profoundly sensible IHj --ftfJthftgreathnnnr dQneme by the peo-Pfe : p o of this intelligent and prosperous] >8lae. Nor was it because I would not b I willingly and gladly meet with the peo-fe pie of this enterprising, beautiful, and t" growing city, the seat of one of the' most important of our great institutions I jot learning—on the occasion of any is y social or political celebration to which K if their partiality and kindness might sum|mon me. • But when I first received your invita- * Jtion, the result of the great quadrennial •struggle between the opposing and en- 1 'Inuring forces or Loyalty, Liberty and t fProgress was not yet determined. H . A n d it seemed to me that ffl no gratulfttlon, personal to myself, no ffl celebration of a victory tliat embraced jonly the narrow counties of a State, was .^allowable while the tremendous issues • 11 of the .National eontest were involved in I come now, in response to your summens, with a heavy heart.

best heart and brain of the American people. It is the party of proud memories and glorious aspirations. It has never done anything it has to apologize for or feel ashamed of. It has governed the country wisely, honestly, bravely. It is as great a party to-day aa it was when Abraham Lincoln led it to victory, or when Ulysses S. Grant was its commander, or when James A. Garfield was its cho -en candidate. Alike in Holds of war, or finance, or administration, it has justified tho highest expectations of loyalty, the honesty and the intelligence of tho Nation. Pharisees revile, demagogues denounce, cranks rail at, and traitors hate it. But is the party of the honest, sensible, practical, logical people of the country, and to them it can safely trust for vindication and final victory. Four \ years of Democratic stupiility, dishon£ esty, arrogance and disloyalty will nanjseaie the Republic, and the people will ffl turn to tho Republican party as the «"j needle does to the pole, and gladly and j proudly restore it to the public conli'.v| deuce it linn d'tnu nothing to forfeit, and I to the power it has never abused.

Governor Martin. [••

I

To many voters the unexampled mojority given to John A. Martin for Governor of Kansas was a great wonder, " It was a glad surprise to many of his most ardent supporters. When the campaign opened it waa a common-remark that Martin's plurality would be thirty thousand less than Blaine's. Toward the close of the canvass his moBt ardent friends contended that Martin's total vote would not fall fifteen thousand behind the vote for Blaine. The result showed that Martin roeeived 146,677 votes while Blaine had 153,158, or only 6,481 more votes than Martin. Several things are proven by this vote. First,' it is apparent that the most overrated factor in the cam* paign was Re submission. The attempt of the opposition to make that bugbear a winning card was a signal' failure. If Re-submission was an issue the people of Kansas decided deliberately and decisively in the election of a'Republican Governor and legislature that the Republican party should settle that vexed question. Second, the canvass proved that political cowards and croakers are not able to defeat the Republican iparty in Kansas. The wise fellows who went through tho campaign sucking their thumbs and croaking that Martin would barely squeeze through, have bad a lesson impressed upon their craven hearts not soon to bo forgotten. It proved that a bold, vigorous, manly, aggressive campaign was all that was needed to win a notable Republican triumph tor the Governor and legislature in Kansas. Much of the credit of the State canvass is due to John A. Martin.

''.•i'i&amam From the mo meat of ilia nomination down to the closing of the polls on the "Fourth of November he was the leader of leaders in the Kansas campaign. The moans of the croakers, the whines of the cravens, the undue excitement of the extremists did not affect him.- He gave to all a patient hewing but he turned neither to the light nor the left but lifted high the banner intrusted to him by a convention of his party and made a manly, aggressive and uncompromising fight for Republioan supremacy in Kansas, The wisdom of his sourstf was certi.? fied by the 146*,677 votors who raado "him Governor.' •" And the confidence reposed in him has Jticn well earned. The result is as honoring to the people of Kansas as.it is to John A. Martin. He is a true, manly man. Ho will tnuko a Govornor of whom overy Kansan will be proud. His whole life of honest manly citizenship affords ample guar an too of his official conduct. There 'will be no buncombe messages and none of the trickH of a demagogue in his administration. His career M Governor will be in keeping with his pas$ twenty-five years of honorable *nd.tirelenfl devotion to this proud young State, whose past history is I his history; whose marvelous growth \ owes so much to his patriotic lahortt, and whose future is as dear to him as bis own personal honor and his life. •v..

Against the north wall, back of the speaker's stand, the een*f tral window was covered with an immense? Dinner, the work of Professor £L Wor. rail, the popular artist. Upon it were the |£ 'following words artistically woven among the myriads of fruit, vegetables and grain, with the great seal of the Stale beautifully painted] fnear the top: "Happy Kansas. Land of L 'plenty; sunshine, solid homes, 6,354. schools, 1,256 churches, with cattle on 10,000 hills." Upon each side of this handsome banner were draped enormousflags.§ The stats and stripes were visible wher- • ever the eye was turned, and those who are capable of judging declared the decoraHoo faultless* At 9:30 the hall w.«s filled to overflowing with handsome ladies in elegant toilettes, iiml gentlemen in full evening dress. To attempt to describe the many costumes would be an almost endless task,but suffioe it to ff\y that a handsomer and grander array of exquisite beauty has never been seen in Kansas. The gallery wan packed with spect Uora and the numerous opera glasses in that part of the house dehoted a desureupon the part of those who did not dance to see all that was to be be seen.

This was the conclusion of the afternoon Jprngramme, and the audience began slowly |to disperse.

huwie repreaenteu an womatutmu, and tho' notes of the song which celebrated her i beauty and her virtues hod touched hidden ' founte of emotion in thousands of men. The deep silence that followed was broken by the majestic rausie of "John Brown." Then how the camp did cheer and shout and howl. So, for hours, one alter another, tho bands tilled the air with mime, and the soldiers sat, rapt and thrilled, listening! and cheering alternately. The campfires< faded out, but the. concert went on, and i t seems to mo I have never heard such music, before or since. At least, I hove never so appreciated music; never known i t to, exercise such a spell over listeners; never so j appreciated its power to thrill and melt and sway men, as on that far-away au-r I tumn night, when tho a m y rested Ln tho; I blue grass meadows of Kentucky, under! ' the sileutstars. f Others who speak to-night will [ have, no doubt, tell you of marches and battles,. of hardships patiently endured, and of dangers fearlessly faced. _ The life of a, soldier had many phases; it w w not devoid, of pleasure.

Kansas, fortkreo decades past, has been the best advertised spot on the continent. The border troubles, the civil war, the Price and Quantrell raids, the drouths o£ 1860 and 1874, the grasshopper invasions of the same years, John Brown, Jim Lime, Indian raids, the Benders, the Centennial exposition, prko exhibsts at horticultural shows, the railroads, our flambeau clubs, the Modocs, Tom Anderson, our newspapers, cyclones, political and otherwise; tho St. John-Legate-Clarkson ieontroversy; Charley Jones' banner a t g Clnciwo, the Oklahoma boomers, prohibition, the new judicial districts, the New Orleans exhibit, all those, and "a hundred other things, have contrinutod their share toward advertising Kansas. Hut behind and above nil these inspiring but ephemeral incidents, wonders, troubles, incitements and personages, there is Kansas, growing always, not beeause of thwe things, but often in spite of thi'in; prosnerinrr, not by their inllui'Jioe entirely, but because Kansas has nothing that is unsubstantial in her make up. A fertihi soil, a heidthful climate,.an. intelligent, enterprising and brave people. I 'I'hiMu are the enduring foundations on] which have been built our groat and pros- f pumas commonwealth. Kansas is, RO to spunk, "idl wool and ayavd wide." Kansas is sound in wind and limb. Kansas is | thi' electric light of the union. Kansas is the Htttto of great crops, great li'M-ils, grout luutut, . g:i>at railr roads, groat school houses, gn'at dovelppuionl. and j,Teat prosperity. There rt nothing small about, Kansas except b rivers, and tluwc were probably _ mau_ Hinall Imcanso lVovidenco, in fashioningw tho sUite, on-atod aland so rich and goOd that it was deemed extravagant io waft nnifli 6f it in big water courses. It is.' groat pity that the founders o£ Topeka _, pi all in),' the town did not emulate this £ grind oMviuple, and make tho streots "of the capital narrower, so that they could be paved without danger of entailing bankruptcy HI the lut'Owiiom. . * There was a time, years ago, whan it | wa* necessary to do a great deal of adverj 1 tising for KansaK. But the reputation oi tho .iUvte is now fixed.

The procession then returned to the City Cemetery, whero similar services were held. At 2 o'clook an audience of two thousand people assembled inside and around the skating rink to hear Gov. Martin's address. The preliminary exercises acoordlng to the beautiful ritual of the G. A. E. were oonduoted by Prof. Hillman, and were very impressive. The ohoir, under direction of Mr. Gentry, rendered some appropriate selections, after whlcn three veterans, who had boen invited to Boats on the stage, were introduced to the audience by Comrade Mackenzie. Their names aro T. T. Nicholas, who lost all his property in Tennessee during the war, because of his pronounced Unionism, Richard Knight Sr. and T. M. Davis, who served In tho same company in the Mexican war with John A. Logan. They aro very old men and somewhat docropit, but warofllledwith the spirit of tho hour and their appearance was grcotod with prolonged applause. Gov. Martin was theu introduced and •poke for an hour. Ills address was entirely dissimilar from tho usual Memorial Day orations, and was refreshing by tu originality of style. Me Illustrated the various qualities of the American soldier by reference to men of his own command, seleotlngprivate soldiers and detailing tn agrapblo and eloquent manner their military history, until they fell In tho line of their duty. Hli reference to the Ideal "bummer" was received with great merriment and It was plain to bo seen that he was speaking trom the book. One of th<> most pathetic and touching portions of lils address was his eulogy of John W. Long, who fell at the Storming of Nashville, and during Its delivery many an old soldier wiped away a tear. At the chute of Gov. Martin's address and while many friends were pressing forward to congratulate him, a young man introdui*d himself te one of our cltUfii*. and tagged an Introduction to the tiovernur. Mr. Huron presented him, *

teSiro of meeting the distinguished executive that actuated him, but he had another motive and proceeded to tell Gov. Martin that his name was John \V. Long, son of the soldier referred to, that he was bom on the day his father was killed, and named for him. It afterwards transpired that this" young man lived at Geneseo, Illinois, and was visiting in this oounty. He oame to the Memorial services and was surprised to hear the Governor of the State eulogizing his father. The speaker, the audience, the surroundings, the State even being strangers to him.
