Wyandotte Constitutional Convention

the free-state faction firmly in control, the territorial legislature
of 1859 approved a fourth and final constitutional convention, and in
early June delegates were elected to gather at Wyandotte on July 5.
Thirty-five Republicans and seventeen Democrats were chosen to attend
the convention-the first time delegates carried these now familiar party
labels, the Republican Party having been formed in the territory just
a few weeks before-and although there was much debate and disagreement,
they conducted most of their business with civility. For the four years
preceding, this had not always been the case. more
