INGALLS, as AN ORATOR.


If Senator Ingalls, would take a more ac-
tive part in our political campaigns, and
would make political speeches in all the
principle towns of the state, every political
year, he would be almost NATURALIZATION
noRlDe ditA.
1t seems strange that an orator who has
few equals and no superiors in the United
States should dread to make speech. But
Senator Ingalls, has several times, in talking
about speech-making, said to US that, not
withstanding all his practice at the bar, in
the Senate and on the stump, be has never
been able TO overcome his dread Of making
a speech. As a speaking appointment draws
near, he regards it with perfect agony, and
this feeling never leaves him until after the
first word is spoken on the platform. This
singular dread Of facing an audience, no
doubt accounts for his neglect to favorably
respond TO the numerous invitations be has
to speak. We presume it grows out Of the
fact that he is too severely critical OF him.
self. A purist in language, he sets his own
standard SO high that he fears he will fail to
reach it, and SO hesitates to make the at
tempt.-Champion.

WISE WORDS ON WHEAT.

The persistent hammering down OF wheat
formed powerful clique whose operations
date from last spring, when their agents be-
gan to herald from all parts OF the country
that the largest grain crop on record was as
sured, even before the seed was all IN the
ground. After harvest they over estimated
the crop twenty-five per cent. and SO loudly
insisted that they were right that consumers
believed them and declined to pay reasona-
BILE prices for wheat. The farmers, who
were mainly in position to do SO, have been
holding back their grain, 20 the markets
have only received enough for band-to-
mouth supply, and the great elevators are
idle. But the idea of an over-supply has
been 90 boldly pushed by the bears that even
the millers have allowed their mills to re-
main idle r.ther than pay price for wheat
that would bring 1t out OF the graperies Of
the producers. The farmer who is out Of
debt, or who has something else TO sell,
should hold his wheat. The markets yes
terday were all weak aud lower, rs they
have been during the past week with the ex.
ception of one day. Corn 10 also lower ex-
cept Ia New York, where the market opened
lower but recovered the decline and closed
q fraction better. Oats also record lower
prices.
In st. Louis hogs were steady and un-
changed. at Kansas City steady and at Chi
cago the general demand was weak and the
closing quotations lower. Thus 1t will be
seen that the week taken all in ali has not
been very favorable. In Kansas City the
cattle market was weak and slow, while In
st. Louis the supply WAS small and only
retail trade done; in Chicago the markets
market was very weak, but values were

IL fh< Editor of TIE Eaals:

10 the Edat0r 81 TIE Edgb:
The EAGLE makes me familiar with home
politics, and am much pleased with many
features thereof. Having been resident OF
Kansas for % years, have seen much polit-
ical imbecility as well as concentrated and
contemplate knavery. OF course l made
my comments, and they were SO universally
unfavorable that one would have called it
chronic grumbling. But no, it was because
of the folly of the people, and the rascality
OF the professional wire workers. When
men like Wall and VIM. Ross, are in nomin-
alton the outlook is brilliant, and the times
propitiou Indeed your whole ticket is in
harmony with the spirit Of the age, and the
grand harmonious march of progress, and
yirtuous reform / am net in the habit Of
jubiating, but feel thrill bordering on
ecstacy.
The objections of the liquor men are
amusing to the logical public. Like the
Irishman that was to be hung, who preferred
gooseberry bush for galIows, so they do
not wish to be hung at all. They object to
all methods tried by the people to suppress
their ito the masses) ruinous traffic. They
will tell you how to stop this evil. One poor
Sot in this country said, "Let men drink
like gentlemen, then there will be no trOu-
ble." Yes, let men steal like gentlemen.
But why talk. The people will it. Have
long wished with a desire amounting to an
agony for the suppression of this terrible
curse that has but one incentiye-appetite,
and one motive-extravagant gain. Stop
it, says humanity. Stop, says the great
heart Of the people. hope to see Ross give
some form or expression, or formulation to
the idea OF referring the laws back to the
people for sanction or veto. 1t is the next
great reform needed, and long sought for,
and 1t must come. Delegated power with
out bond or security involves too much
chiidlike confidence, and is not safe. A bet

THE STATE RESULT.


Topeka, kAs., Nov. THE election to-
day is for a fun state ticket, one member Of
the supreme court, four members OF congress
nj large and three from the three old dis
tricts in the state.
Returns tonight will be very incomplete,
owing to the great length OF the ticket, and
the fact that each ticket, rs il comes out OF
the box, is counted in full. We have no re-
turns Of previous elections by townships, SO
that comparison cannot be made by town.
ships, and only by counties, and very few
counties will get through counting and get
the returns TO the county seats before morn
ing. No one doubts the result will be the
election Of the four republicans at large and
two in the three districts. A contest is
claimed between Haskell republican,, Acres
(democrap, and Taylor (greenback) in the
second district. No one claims but that the
whole republican state ticket will be elected
except the governor, and the main contest
centres there. Two years ago, st. John, the
present republican candidate for that Office,
tor 1885,, and the greenbackers' candidate
1916 votes.
G. w. Click is the democratic candidate
this year and Charles Robinson the green
back candidate.
The dispatches received by the republican
state central committee here will be CONSOLE
dated and forwarded as fast as received I'M
less the vote on governor is close. 1t is ex-
pected the result, in that case. can hardly
be appropriated tonight.
Up to this time, 1880, only about 1000 Of
the 1900 votes cast here have been counted.
In these, Click, democrat, leads st. John,
republican, by 113 votes. 1t IL generally
conceded that the city and county will be
very close. The republican state central
committee thinks that the whole state and
congressional ticket is elected, but concede
that the vote on governor is very close, and
that the democrats may have a majority.
The democratic state committee are claim
ing the election of Click. In the 4sth rep
resentative district, Shawnee county, j. b.
McCafee, representative is elected to the
legislature, and in the 48th district, Tom
James, anti-St. John representative, beats
Rev. 5. =. Dunlap, st. John republican. In
this city the vote is close between Malyane,
st. John republican, Veale anti-St John and
Dr. Sheldon, prohibitionist and anti-St.John,
and no result can be determined for some
hours.
. a. m.-The state central committee,
while not conceding the election of Click,
democrat, yet express themselves as think
ing it probable.
1t is believed that while the house will not
have a majority Of republicans who were
nominated at republican conventions, yet
as many of the members ran as independent
republicans they will act with the party on
all political questions. The senate holds
over aud stands 80 republicans to one dem
ocrat.
Latest adyices from the State Central Com
mittee says: Three hundred and thirteen
precincts give Click, democrat, $500 majori-
ty over st. John. The Republican State
Central Committee does not express any
hope for 81. John. The Republicans elect
state, county and congressional tickets ex-
cept governor.

THE GROWTH OF KANSAS.

Gov. st. John, having addressed a CON-
munication to Col. A. 5. johnson, Land
Commissioner of the Atchison, Topeka a.

of land sold by that company the present
year, Col. johnson replied as follows:

TOPEKA, kAs., October 81, 1882.
Tod. p. ~. Join, Topeka. Kansas
DEAR SIR: In answer to your request in
reference TO the amount of land the A., L.
S. i. Company sold this year, as compared
with former years: in the ten months of
this year we have sold more land than We
have in the two years previous put together,
and with the exception of the years 1874 and
1878, more than we have sold since our lands
have been in market twelve years.
For the past year our sales have been
steadily increasing, month by month, until,
at the present date, our business is unpre-
cedented in the history OF this department.
A notable feature in this connection is the
unusual number of cash purchasers, show
ing that settlers OF more means are coming
into the state. Yours truly,

The Independent party, my boy, is the
party that got sccoped in the convention,
and runs itself with ticket Of defeated can
didates, applicants for Office who were
weighed In the balance by the regular con.
vention, found wanting-wanting too much,
wanting everything, in fact-and set aside.
The Independent party is down on bossism.
1t hates dictation. 1t will have none oil it.
No domineering. no assumption OF authori-
~, no dicta ton no machine methods in
politics for the independent party. Not q
bit Of 1t. Nothing but the broadcast liberty
and widest freedom imaginable for voter
and candidates. The voter responsible for
nothing, the candidate answerable to no
one. That Is the independent party.
As near IS you can get at it, my boy, an
''independent" is = dissatisfied tail that in
sists on wagging the dog. Well, 1t can's be
done, and half the time the tail only frets
and worries itself for nothing, while the dog
does not know anything about it, and goes
on wagging the tail in joyous eloquence,
utterly ignorant or wholly regardless of the
mutiDy and rank rebellion that is agonizing
the afterguard. The ''independent" party
says there is peril and impending destruc-
ton in boss. Then it concludes that the
danger can be lessened by division. and ar
CUES in the following faulty syllogism
There 10 danger In one boss. In 100 bosses
there will be IS much danger as 100 is con-
tanned times in one, which is Tooth of one
time. Therefore in 100 bosses there is 100
times less danger than in one boss. But
don't you believe everything that is proved,
my boy. A greater authority than the Com
mittee Of One Hundred says: "No man
can serve two masters" Well. now, il you
can't serve two, how are you going to serve
two, how are yon going to serve 100? The
sum Of the whole matter is this: The Gin
dependent" party defines itself to be party
without leaders, without organization, with
out campaign assessments, without method,
without bosses, without officc-seeking can
didstes, without guile, without anything
that other parties have save only a large,
countless, sands-Of.the-sea-shore for multi
tude and stars-of-the-heaven-fo fol-
lowing. When, as the truth is. my boy, MS
general thing il has in wild prOfusion and
unnecessary amount every last solitary one
of these thing except the following. That's
the ohe lone and very necessary thing it
doesn't have. When you find an '.indepen-
dent party, my boy, that doesn't have
caucuses and primaries, and conventions,
and delegates, and committees on credentials,
and executive COMMITTEES, and campaign
funds, and money that hasn't dropped down
from heaven, to pay electioneering expenses
and political creed in which its candidates
must believe. and candidates who accepted
nomination with modest eagerness, and
who want office and try hard to be elected,
and who stay in as long as they can, if once
they get in. you bring it to me, and I'll give
$l5 for it. And that's more than any indie
pendent party in America is worth to me,
but Pm fond OF rare things burlington
