Hon. John J. Ingalls,, the pride Of cur ,
Young commonwealth, the peer ot every /
man in the United States Senate, and the |
snperior. in intellect and ability, OF any /,
politician west Of the Mississippi river, was
on last Friday reelected To serve the peo- 4
ME of X ansas in the United States Senste /
for another term OF Fix years; just and
merited recognition Of the valuable ser
yi.es rendered by Mr.. Ingalls, TO the State
ard nation during his present term. 10
have done otherwise at this time, when 1t
il evident that such statesmen IA
ingalls,, Logan, Conkling, Cameron
and others OF the same true
| Union-loving stripe are necessary to meet
their brother Senators Of the solid South,
would have been pursuing adisastTorS pol
| icy. The ability and honesty Ct the bill
liant Senator we're acknowledged by every
one. and If direct vote OF the people could
have been had he would have been re-
elected by an overwhelming msJorIty.
Those who were candidates for the same
nosi,ion are men OF Acknowledged ability
ard integrity, but lack the experience OF
Mr.. Ingalls,, whish il great point IN has
favor. and this reason, osher matters being
soual. should in iusiice have decided the
case in his favor But the "ou,s" ard old
ring politicians seldom weigh such matters
in the scale of justice.

In the Joint convention which elecie
Mr. ingalls, TO the United States Senate la:
week, the conduct of the three political Par
ties is peculiarly mirrored forth.
The Republican party with l2j votes I
fused to eiec: him, not because he was NJ

mined to defeat him.

IL A man who is opposed to their views
to everything but defeating Ingalls,. Such Il
I'd consistency in new party just Organize
on financial basis puts blot upon i
