7HILLIPsBURG KANSAS. THURsDAY, JULY "a, 1884,

in the melees of border ruaianism and,
when the need came, at the editorial
desk, through all the fierce epoch while
Kansas was the advance battle ground
of the coming national conflict,-he
fairly won at last the best esteem of his
state. Nearly a dozen years ago the
mantle of Christian craftsmanship,
pulled from Pomeroy's shoulders, fell
more worthily on his, and he has worn
it here to worthier purposes ever since.
An intellectual, keen man. alert with
almost French cleverness, he has stead
ily moved up through a couple of terms
ia the senate as he moved up dozen
preceding years in the state. He is fer
tile and Rinble of wit. and is one of the
very few men in the senate with strong
literary dash in his faculties. He has,
furthermore. found the rare act of ad-
justing the .conceits Ct his fancy to
extemporaneous rhetoric, and it has
made him one of the most capable and
feared debaters in the body. As result
presumably of some of his later loren sic
triumphs, the lecture agent, Pond.
recently offered Senator ingalls, 5000 a
night to make engagements for the
coming season-an offer, it is said,
which was courteously declined.
Coming through the senate doorway
to where yesterday encountered him
in the lobby, the Kansas Senator said:
81 will talk with you as long as you like;
there is nothing am more profoundly
DISTINGUISHED in than campaign oratory
inside.''
"Whatdo you fellows from as far west
as Kansas think of the Republican nom
nations at ChieagoP'' I asked.
''Kansas is sound on any republican
ticket,'' Mr., ingalls, replied; ''but in
my belief there has not been in the his
tory of the party any such felicitous
nomination as this one. The enthusiasm
for it will become the greatest possible.
East and west of the state of New York
it makes everything certain. But we
in the west are especially pleased. There
is something in Blaine, an elan, spirit,
vigor, to which the spirit of the west
directly corresponds. The states west
of the Mississippi have been waiting for
hina for years. There has never been
such ardor for any candidate. -
"What about the election of your sen-
atorlal successor, which occurs, l be-
ieve, next winterP''
''No formidable candidate against
me has developed as yet. Ponds ros-
trum business might pay better than
politics possibly, but 1 think [ shall
stand to succeed myself, the state of
Kansas not objeeting. '-[Washington
Letter in New York Tribune.

Senator John J. ingalls,.

Ten years ago if a visitor at the CAPT
toll looked N on the United States senate
he saw there q score of the representa-
tive intellects of the nation. Take from
the chamber to-day six good heads and
you have reduced it to the condition of
Dyonisius' poppy garden in which his
philosopher walked and leveled the tall
stalks. The rest make an average dead
level. The political giants are mostly
dead. or out of power, or standing for
the presidency.
INGALLS,, OF KANSAS.
Notably one of the rising men of the
body is Ingalls,, of Kansas. A quarter
OF century ago he stepped out of Will
Jams college, and in his graduation year,
a burning abolitionist alreadys leaving
Massachusetts, he pitched his tent in
the Western territory in its storm and
stress period. The friend of John
Brown with convictions to serve fighting
hisresolute way at the bar, on the stump,
