Lawrence, Kansas, Sept. 4.-The Prohibition State Convention met in this city Tuesday. About 150 delegates were present with credentials, and of this number about fifty were permitted to participate as members of the convention, the remainder being refused admission because they would not pledge themselves to the support of St. John for President. Presidential electors were nominated. It was moved to nominate a State ticket with John A. Martin at the head. The motion was lost. It was then moved to turn the matter of a State ticket over to the State Committee, to report in October. This also was lost. It was then moved that the convention indorse John A. Martin, Republican candidate for governor: lost. Resolutions then passed as follows:

Resolved, That we believe it to be to our interests to waive our power of nominating State officers and leave the matter to each member to act individually, and that we use our best endeavor to secure the election of the National Prohibition ticket.

The convention adopted a platform strictly in accordance with the principles which its name implies, and also declares in favor of the abolition of polygamy.
