		This act was modified considerably by a law passed in 1893.

	Geary and Kansas - Chapter 41.
		crowning act of the legislature was the passage, near the close of its session, of what is called the "Census Bill." This was the most infamous scheme to rob thousands of free-men of their right of the elective franchise, that has ever been devised in this or any other country.
		Another feature of the bill is, that although it was framed expressly to defraud the free-state citizens of their rights, it requires them to pay a tax to assist in the accomplishment of the fraud.
		One part of the plan, as explained to Governor Geary, is to adopt a constitution in which no reference whatever shall be made to the subject of slavery; and this fact has been announced in the administration organs as an evidence of the conciliatory disposition of the pro-slavery party of Kansas.
