complimentary terms Of Mr.. Ingalls-gives
him fattering article Of nearly half
column in length, which we reproduce this
morning, and in which he is spoken OF in
connection with Blaine and Conkling, as
one OF the leaders OF the Senate.
The Omaha Republican, the leading Re-

Blaine, the Providence, Rhode Island, jour
nal, senator An;hopyis paper, and scores OF

opponents Of public opinion, all speak
in like favorable terms OF Senator Ingalls,,
and characterize as worse than Jolly the
talk Of supercedirg him by some new and
untried man. Kanses never had Senator
who was 80 unanimously and cordially in
dorseI by the Republican press of the whole
country, a. Senator ingalls,. Though still
in he first term lie has earned national
reputation, and is reco.n'zd by the press
and the public, OF all parties and in all
sections Of the country, a. one Of the lore
most men in the Senate. He Is man that
the Republican party, especially at this
time, cannot afford TO lose, and his defeat
would be regarded by the Republicans
everywhere ss a public calamity. In any
other State than Kansas his reelection
would be assured by common consent, and
the man who would oppose him would be
regarded as opposing the best interests Of
the State. And this, in fa.t, is the feeling
OF the masses in Kansas. He is faithful,
able, and honest representative, devoting
himself to the interest Of his constituents,
and rejecting honor upon the name OF the
State. Such Is the verdict Of the country
al large and the people Of Kansas will see
to it that the nation is not deprived OF his
services.

ImperatIyely Needed

Detroit Post and Tribune, Nov. p
The Republican sentiment Of Kansas seems
to be decidedly in favor OF the reelection OF
Hon. John ]. Ingalls, TO the United States
Senate. Mr.. Ingalls, has attracted attention
by his ability and besring, and his displsce-
mant would be viewed with general regret.
Although representing one Of the youngest
States-a state yet in Its formative period
he is excelled by none OF his colleagues In
scholarship and In that special aptitude for
affairs which is the ruling Trait of all useful
and successful punishment. His speeches
have been uniformly upon the side OF hu-
manity and progress, and the best interests
OF the people. He is no trimmer, and no fall
terer. He has genuine courage OF opinion,
and his convictions are not only never con-
cealed or denied, but always end openly
avowed with clesrness, force and skill Such
a man can poorly be spared from the Senate
nj any time but particularly now, when
qualities such as his are imperatively needed.

A New England Opinion.

Political change in the condition of the
country il visible in the prospective com
plexion Of the Senate of the United States
1t has for year, been Republican; the next
Senate will be Democratic. 1t ia OF the
highest importance to the Republicans not
only to retain a. many Senators as possible,
but TO place IN position men of experience,
ability and influence. Kansas is one of the
historical and leading States needing con-
tinuous Senatorial representation. There is
no doubt of its Republican integrity 1t is
hirreclaimably fixed in that position, hav-
| ing attained ii by baptism in blood, and
| It's representation in the Senate should be
gall.expires with the present session and
smother election is soon to follow. From
present appearances it seems desirable that
he should, and probably that he will be
come il own successor. His six years re-
cord has been a good one; a. a legislator,
and Republican, his support of public
measures having been practical, and his
views broad, liberal and national, he ap-
pears to bear national man in his impul-
sea, which well fits him for legislator in
this hour OF the nations need.

with lite history, thoroughly identified with
its interests and enthusiastic over it, devel-

Rochester New York, Dem and Chronicle.
Elsewhere We have thrown out a few
Thought. in regard to the inheritance Of re-
turning to the United States Senate its ex-
perienced Republican members. where
happily in them worth Is combined with
experience. From certain utterauces in
Kansas journals, which seem to indicate
the reelection OF the ACCOMPLISHED senior
Senator from that State, We are pleased TO
illustrate our position by a reference to his
merits and cordially approve the purpose
Of the Republicans. The election OF Sena-
tor Ingalls, occurred under circumstances
peculiarly calculated to inform him with
INDEPENDENCE and to urge him to the attain
ments OF an honorable fame 1t was at
once the recognition OF high capacity, and
stern rebuke Of the political practices in
which his predecessor had too freely in
dulged. 1t Is not too much TO say that he
has more than filled the anticipations that
attended his appearance in the Senate.
Known to his constituents as an able law
yer, and a man Of varied requirements in
letters, he modestly deferred an active par
ticipation in debate, until he had won, by
bis manly bearing ard his uucompromis-
ing Republicanism, the esteem and conf
dence OF his associates but early in his
Senatorial career, he became known as an
able presiding officer, and was propos-
ed by many western Journals as candidate
for the vice Presidency, an honor that
might have been bestowed upon him had
not territorial considerations induced the
nomination OF an eastern man for that
place. During the last two sessions Of Con-
gress, Senator Ingalls, has mingled freely in
debate, and has demonstrated his power a.
a well informed incisive and trenchant or
atcr, as well az graceful and scholarly
rhetorician. lie is always listened to re-
spectfully and admirinslv, and in personal
character is the peer of any Senator. Ills
financial views. which he has eloquently
expounded, are not such as to commend
themselves to eastern sentiment, but they
are doubtless honestly entertained and re-
fleet the opinions of his constituents 1t
has rarely happened that Senator in his
first term has achieved SO much of position
and persuasiveness as has Senator Ingalls,.
Hi. reputation has been fairly earned, and
the State he represents is to be congratulate
ed upon his success. IL is gratifying to
note that his return to seat he has
adorned is well secured.
