lBOward Courant,
When TIE news WAS received in our city |
Sunday evening, of Mr.. Ingalls, re election,
there was a general rejoicing among our |
people, as large msiority was anxious for |
him to be his own successor. Taking all |
the circumstances connected with the late
campaign into consideration and the fact
that almost eyerythin. dishonorable has
been used to defeat him, our people may
well II joice. No man was ever assaiied by
as many libelous and dastardly lies and
alderous charges, all too, without the
slightest foundation Of truth, a. has been
Mr.. ingalls, during the contest which has
Just closed. We say onr people are proud,
and il is ne exagerstion. They are proud
Of their Senator, proud Of his record, and
proud of every man who voted for him, for
that one act if nothing else. His principal
opponent was the late Governor, George T.

sorted TO everything in their power,
TO defeat the will of the people. Some OF
them even used their entire influence, and
all the money George could furni-h them to
