Special Correspondence of THE TIMEs.I
Topeka, Ks, January 20, 1879.
The excitement is increasing every hour,
and be ore you receive this letter you will
have had the result of to-day's ballot in
joint convention by telegraph. do not be-
lieve that there will be any material change
as each candidate affects to believe that his
chances are good, and he intuses the same
spirit into his friends and followers. There
is feeling among the people from all parts
of the State thar it would be unwise to defea,
Mr.. Ingalls, at this time. There is also an
opinion expressed BY the majority that the
charges which have been made against
him, all emanate from Democratic sources,
and that they are designed really to injure
the Republican party in Kansas.
Mr.. Ingalls,. speech to his supporters last
evening was q complete refutation of the
ISLANDERS, and made him many friends even
among his most bitter enemies. The ALI.
ance between Geo. T. Anthony and the
Kansas City "Times" has efectually killed
the former. He really never had any
strength, and now ia practically out Of the
fight. The only way to defeat Mr.. Ingalls,
lie for the entire opposition to unite on some
gentleman who has not yet figured promi-
nently enough to provoke any severe oppo-
sition. II an anti-Ingalls caucus
cannot be organized the present
Senator il sure to he re elected, as
when the members begin to scatter he will
receive his share Of the votes. The candi-
dates with one or two exceptions are will
ing that Mr.. Ing alls should be returned if
they cannot themselves be the fortunate
nominee. The leading supporters here of
Geo. 7. are DR.. Neeley, Democratic candi
date for Mayor Of Leavenworth. and Levi
Wilson, also prominen. Democrat. Geo.
T. can never get Greenback vote, as he
not only is most prominent hard money
man, but last fall at the Continental
Hotel in this city declared
all Grsenback men crazy lunatics." Mr..
Ipgall.' silver speech ought to make him
friends with what is known A. the Green
back element. But everything here is in
such state that this morning it is impossi-
bic to foresee or prophecy anything. Be-
fore night there may be a chaage, Of which
you will be advised BY wire. REX.
