KANSAS AFFAIRS.
names are on that poll book who were at that time residents of this
district. Please designate also those who were here when the census
was taken firom those who came here to reside after that time and
before March 30. For this purpose examine carefully the census rolls
in connexion with Mr. Babcock, who took it, and'Mr. C. S. Pratt, the
clerk of the election. Take time to prepare the lists and attach it to
your testimony before it is signed.
A4nswer. In connexion with IMr. Babcock, who took the census, and
Mr. Pratt, the clerk of the election, I have examined the census returns and poll lists of March 30, 1855, and from these and our
knowledge of the residents, we find that of the residents who were
here when the census was taken, 177 voted. The list marked "A,"
contains their names. There are 192 settlers, whose names are in
the census list, who did not vote, or, at least, their names are not in
the poll lists. We find in the poll book the names of 55 resident
settlers in this district, but who came after the census and before the
election. This list, marked "B," contains their names. There are,
perhaps, 50 others, and perhaps more, who came into the Territory in
the spring of 1855 as settlers, and who are now resid(lents of different
parts of the Territory, many of whom we know. The others in the
poll list were not residents, as I believe.
