NATIONAL REPUTATION.

sas a reputation eqnsl to any of the older

vices of a gentlemen eminently fitted

legislative halls Of the nation, despite the
utterly mean and despicable course of his
enemies.
AN ELOQUENT AND MAsTERLY EFFORT.
lElls xor Reporter.l
Senator Ingalls, made an eloquent, mas
terly defense against the villaiDous assaults
Of his enemies, charscterizins the course of
the X snsas City Times in a manner that
would make Papgborn, who does tue SLAM
deriDg for that paper, pale with shame and
anger. He made an explanation Of the
Atchison post-office and other matters that
was entirely satisfactory to all reasonable
men.
THEY DID WISELY.
Russell Independent,
Kansas did wisely in re-electing Senator
Ingalls,, and We predict that the general
satisfaction now felt with the re'ult will
only increase hereafter a. the brilliant
reputation already won by our senior Sena-
tor broadens with time more and more in
to national proportions. To the members
of the Legislature who throughout all that
| fiery ordeal stood so sturdily around their
chief until the closing hour of victory,
never faltering in purpOse,-we say hail.
and well done.
RING OF THE TRUE METAL
| Alton, Ill, letter to the Atchison Champion.l
The inspiration given by the telegraphic
announcement of the election of Senator
Ingalls, to the U. S Senate was not only sig-
nifcant, but was 20 in harmony with the
view OF the most enlightened observers of
public policy-that thrill Of Joy seems to
| have penetrated the whole-as they linked
together in their recent conception of the
demands of the hour, New York and Kan
sss, Illinois and Nevada, Wisconsin, Penn
sylvania and Michigan.
1t is metal We want, and all the above
Senators, including Senator Ingalls,, have
the right ring. In our warmsst efforts for
Gen. Jno. \. Logan, OF the Prairie State,
our eyes, st every interval, involuntary
turned to kansas-and true, as the needle
to the pole, the response came like an cleo
tric fissh.
| He HAS MADE KANSAS RESPECTED.
INcosho County Record, 81
After long and hard fought battle John
J. Ingalls, has been reelected to the U. S.
| Senate. 1t must be admitted that Mr.. In
| gals record a. a Senator is a good one, and
that the Legislature could have elected a
much inferior man. His record is public
property, and the Stale of Kansas knows it
by heart. In The term OF six years he was
! iu the Senate, he advanced himself TO the
front rank He has made Kansas respected
and powerful at the National Capitol. The
Republicans Of Kansas, as we'll as other
States, are interested in keeping Mr.. ingalls,
where he now is. The threatened ascen.
dancy Of the Democracy in both branches OF
Congress, places the Republicans in an at
titude requiring strong and experienced
men to guide and fashion its course. We
elevate our hat and 'rah for Ingalls,.
| NAN OF SIGNAL ABILITY.
| ISmith County Pioneer,7.I
The consequence is, Mr.. Ingalls, is re-
turned to the United States Senate; Judge
Horton and Ben. Simpson will return to
the duties OF their respective Offices Chief
Justice and United States Marshal-and
Ex-Governor Anthony will retire to the
shades of private life.
While Mr.. Ingalls, was not the man Of
our choice, We recognize in him a man OF
signal ability and high standing in the
councils of the nation, to which he has Just
been elected for second term. During
the six years he has been in the United
States Senate he has made himself q
National reputation, and is one of the most
influential members of that body. He has
succeeded in getting a great many import
ant measures through Congress, the latest
and most important Of which, is the Ar
rears of Pension Bill, which has received
the signature of the President and become
law. We gracefully accept the situation.
| Mr.. Ingalls, is our Senator and We are sat
| isfied.
A WASHINGTON OPINION.
Washington ID. c. Republican,
Senator Ingalls,, after aprotracted strug-
gle, has been elected to succeed himself
This result is gratifying to his numerous
friends at home, and is deserved compli-
ment to his sterling abilities and devotion
to Republican principles. During the six
years that Senator Ingalls, has occupied a
seat in the Senate he has exhibited a stern
adherance to the principles of the Republi-
can faith as embodied in the creed Of that
party He has firmly stood by the right,
and fearlessly antagonized the wrong upon
every question involving distinct princi-
Piles of party doctrine and policy. In
fine, he has proved himself stalwart
Republican and one of the straight
