THE OPPOSITION IN COUNCIL.
TorEKA, January 30.-All the followers
OF the opposition to Ingalls, that can be
gathered are now in council. About forty
members who have been voting for candi-
dates of their first choice refuse to 60 into
an opposition Ingalls, caucus.
THEY HAVE COME OVER.
Since the adjournment about twenty
members have visited Senator Ingalls, and
publicly announced their intention of vot.
ing on the first ballot tomorrow for
him, and it is generally expected that
INGALLS, WILL BE ELECTED
on the first ballot, by from ninety to one
hundred votes. The attempt at getting up
an opposition caucus seems at this time an
absolute failure. Accept this as my pre-
diction. ID. K. 4.
Correspondence TINEsl
TorEKA, January 3d. have said here
tofore that "Old Pom" had fallen out OF
the fight. Practically he had. Yet on
Tuesday, when the first House vote was
taken on Senator, Mr.. Callen, a Repressn-
tatlve from Davis county, better known as
"Old Grizzly" voted for Pomeroy, at the
same time declaring, as he announced the
name, that he voted fer "the best Senator
and best friend Kansas ever had" Mr..
Csllen is man of years and good sense.
/ know little of his antecedents and rela-
tions; the true inwardness" Of such an e1-
preston I do not therefore understand.
He proposes to go TO Arizona next spring
and remain. That OF course would justsfy
a certain amount of voting reckless
ly. The vote, if not a Joke,
could only have been meant as a compli-
ment; but WHY should man not devoid of
tive privilege given to the citizen of State
by wasting compliments on dung hill. Ii
Certainly was neither smart, funny or wise;
nevertheless the laugh went round. On the
same ballot another gentleman, Mr.. Stun
baush, also voted for "Pom," and the same
two votes were repeated for "Pom" yester-
day. As an operator in the line Of COM
mercial politics, Mr.. Pomeroy will always
be remembered az holding a high
rank. He paid literally and roundly for |
votes, and even in the obscurity into which |
he was 20 Unexpectedly Worked, he may
long be remembered with q sort of grateful |
appreciation by rome of those who have |
been pecuniarily benefited by his participa- |
ton in Kansas politics. For the sake of |
the good name of our State as body poll |
tic, let his candidature at this time pass a. |
a mere joke.
"rhe Blade" is the name of an evening |
paper published in this city. The "Bla1e"
ali along, has been doing vigorous and |
straight work for Ingalls,. Last evening /
Ingalls, men invested their nickels as usual |
for the BLADE" in the expectation of the |
usual comforting aud assuring review of
the situation. Anthony men, Simpson |
men, and men of all other headings, opened |
the "Blsde" as usual, hopeful Of finding |
some weak spot in the tactics or in the ar
gument of an acknowledged enemy. To the |
surprise of everybody, every body found |
Just the reverse of what they had looked for. |
