The Chief il for ingalls,.
The Kirwin CHIEF urges the return of
Hon. Jno. J. Ingalls, to the L. S. Senate
and says he has made a record
during his first term that is unequaled.
"He has arisen from the law office 10 the
Senate in one grand leap, and to-day he is
esteemed and admired throughout the
whole country. His ability is recognized
in the Senate, and would it not be folly to
cut short his term OF usefulness at this
time, for the purpose OF placing Pomeroy
in the place and TO crafty few organs in
the State, who would perhaps, be benefited
by change. We are decidedly in favor of
Ingalls, reelection and believe that nine
tenths of the people Of the State are fully
in accord with us"

The /. L. & G. railroad is to be sold on
