STATE GOVERNMENT OF KANSAS.
The Territory of Kansas remained unorganized and almost unpeopled until the 30th of May, 1854, when President Pierce signed the famous Kansas-Nebraska bill, organizing the Terri- tories of Kansas and Nebraska. In July, 1859, the Constitu- tional Convention met in Wyandotte, and on the 29th of July signed the "Wyandotte Constitution." This was ratified by the people in October of the same year, but it was not, how- ever, until JJanuary 29th, 1861, that President Buchanan signed the act of Congress admitting Kansas, under the Wyandotte Constitution, and then her existence as a State legally began.
Charles Robinson was elected Governor in 1859, and re- mained in office until January, 1863, when he was succeeded by Thomas Carney, until 1865. Samuel J. Crawford was elected in 1864, and reelected in 1866, giving way in 1869 to James M. Harvey, who was elected in 1868, and held the office for four years. In 1872 Thomas A. Osborn was elected, and reelected in 1874, and George T. Anthony succeeded him in 1876. In 1878 John P. St. John was elected, and was chosen his own successor in 1880. In 1882 George W. Glick was elected, and served one term, he being succeeded by the pres- ent incumbent, Hon. John A. Martin, who was elected in November, 1884. The gubernatorial term commences on the second Monday in January following the election.
The State of Kansas includes an area of 80,000 square miles, or 52,042,520 acres, and is larger than the whole of the New England States, equal to North and South Carolina combined, and is twice as large as Ohio. According to the United States census taken in 1880, the population was 995,355; and the estimated population at this time (June, 1885,) is estimated at 1,600,000.
Elections are held on the Tuesday next succeeding the first Monday in November, and biennial sessions of the Legislature are held at the State capital.
The Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and members of the House of Representatives, are elected for a term of two vears. State Senators are elected every four years. The State Printer is elected for two years by a joint ballot of the Legisla- ture, and the Superintendent of Insurance is appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate.
