John Sullivan, secretary of the democratic club
of Kansas City, returned from Topeka and
other Kansas towns this morning, having
gathered a mass of facts that are simply over
whelming in their nature. Dates and author
tiles are given for everything. One of the
queerest discoveries made was that the war
times files of ingalls, paper, the Atchison
Champion, have recently disappeared from the
historical society rooms at Topeka. The facts
cleaned by Mr. Sullivan are to be sent to Mr..
Voorhees, and to every democrat in congress.
In 1862 ingalls, was on the Opposition" re-
publican ticket for Lieutenant governor. lie
was defeated, as his ticket stood fairly and
squarely opposed to the presidents emancipa-
ton proclamation, whicls at that time was an
nounced would be forthcoming.
Sept. II, 1862 the republican state central
committee issued an address to the loyal voters
of Kansas, in which it said: There can be
but two parties in the United States to-day
one for union and freedom and the other for
disunion and slavery. Wagstaf, ingalls, and
Parrot are making their campaign against Pres
ident Lincoln's emancipation proclamation"
This was published in the republican papers of
the state and signed by the entire committee.
Sol Miller, in his Troy CHEZ, Oct. 80 1862,
had this to say of ingalls, campaign: last
winter when list OF members of the legisla-
ture was made for publication, John J. ingalls,
put his politics down as John Brown. Now he
is going hand-in-hand on the same ticket with
Wagstaff Gambrel Lakin, Goss and company,
and is running around attending secession dem
ocratic meetings and pandering for secession
democratic votes. A pretty John Brown man
that"
ingalls, carried but five counties, and just be-
fore the election the LeavenwOrth Conservative,
Oct. 9, 1862, had this to say: ''The whole ticket
is opposed to the administration. The success
or failure of this war will turn upon the result
of the presidents emancipation proclamation.
After Jan. ! next the union is TO be restored
only through the downfall of slavery. To that
policy tho mongrel ticket OF Kansas stands be-
fore the world opposed" On this campaign of
1862 Mr. Sullivan has forty pages of closely
written manuscript with authorities and dates,
In 1864, the Mcclellan presidential year. Mr..
ingalls, appeared again on the opposition" re-
publican ticket for Acknowledgements. OF
the convention which nominated him the To-
peka Record of Sept II, 1864 says: "The tone
of the convention was in bitter opposition to
Lincoln" The chairman of that convention
delivered a speech in which he said: Lincoln
has damaged the country and oyerridden law
and the constitution. The government is fall
ing to pieces from inherent imbecility."
Shortly after the republican central commit
tee issued an address TO the loyal voters OF
Kansas, which closed as follows: They have
thus combined all the disloyal elements OF the
state against the loyal republican party OF the
state. With this record of facts we ask every
voter TO pause and think before he votes for
Thatcher, Ingalls, and Lee and their associates
on the copperhead-bolters' ticket. If there is a
man in the state who rejoices over the defeat of
our armies and sympathizes with treason he
will vote for the ticket headed by Thatcher and
ingalls,. If there is man in the state who
loves slavery and hates freedom he will vote for
L. .. Il. = in, ba ctota VIII
thinks more of JEFF Davis than he does of Lin
coin his vote is certain for this ticket. Ii there
is voter in Kansas who hates Col. Crawford
and others for capturing rebel batteries and
killing rebels he will vote for Thatcher, ingalls,
and the union ticket-a union of boilers and
copperheads. 1t is also true that there is not a
man on the boilers ticket that does not expect
and hope, if elected at all, to be elected by the
peace democracy, the copperhead supporters OF
Mcclellan and Pendleton."
The result of the election was disastrous TO
ingalls,. He carried but three counties, and
out of 1900 soldier votes he got a bare two
hundred. On the evening before the election
of 1864 the Leavenworth Conservative said:
There is not atraitor in Kansas but what will
vote for Thatcher and Ingalls, tomorrow"
In the platform of 1862, on which ingalls, ran
and which Ingalls, is said TO have written, the
following appears: ''That the people, absorbed
in the dangers which menace the country and
the state have neglected and abandoned the
old political organizations, and these organiza-
tons have become the opponents of the schemes
and ambitions of demagogues and cliques, they
present no issues OF principles or policy, and
only serve as machinery TO corrupt the elect
i've franchise"
On Nov. 10, 1862, the Troy Chief had this to
say: 1--WE imagine two of the cheapest feeling
cusses in the state of Kansas about this time
must be Parrot and lngalls--one out OF spite,
and the other in moment Of bitter disappoint-
ment deserted party principles, party, and
friends, expecting by the aid of soreheads and
democratic votes in the absence of thousands
of loyal voters in the army to triumph over
their late friends. But the immense majority
by which the people have consigned them TO
the ranks of private life teaches them how
traitors are appreciated in republican Kansas"
The Troy Chief of Oct. 26, 1862, had this to
say concerning ingalls, record: "lngalls, in
the senatorial contest of Parrot and Pomeroy,
as clerk of the senate, acknowledged he
changed the votes so as TO count Pomeroy in.
We could not understand before how Parrot
was defeated How does Mr.. Parrot now feel
with such an associate on the ticket with him !?
Mr.. Ingalls,, we are informed, however, is con-
frmed atheist. This accounts for everything.
| He can not be expected 10 be governed by con-
scientious scruples or to be influenced by pros
| poets or probabilities OF the hereafter"
The Wyandotte Gazette, of November, 1864,
saws: "The Thatcher-lnhlls ticket is supported
almost or quite unanimously by all the perpe-
traitors and supporters of the senatorial rascal
| ity OF last winter and by all the Nallandlgham-
| Sam Medary-McClellan sympathizers in the
state. The fact that the ticket is the product
and is supported by these classes OF men is
enough, in our opinion, TO induce all radical
| anti-slavery and unconditional union men 10
regard IL with good degree of suspicion"
The Leavenworth Conservative, in October,
1864, said every victory lessons the McClel.
Ian -Vallandigham- Pendleton Coe vote. If
| Blunt whips Price Thatcher and ingalls, will
lose 1000 Mcclellan votes"
The LeayenworIh Conservative, Of Oct 16,
| 1864 said: 1.-THE Mcclellan electors are doing
hard work for Ingalls,"
Mr.. Sullivan, in speaking Of ingalls, record,
| said: "The only record OF Mr.. Ingalls, connec-
ton with the military department of the state
was an appointment made May Is, 1864, as ma
| Tor of Col. Deitzler's staff. The only service
rendered by Deitzler, under this commission,
having record, was in the Price raid, in Octo-
Der, 1864. In all the accounts closely perused
of that raid and movement OF Deitzler's COM
mand no record can be found in the Kansas
press that Mr.. Ingalls, left Atchison. In fact,
in reports sent home by men under Deitzler,
ingalls, name nowhere appears, although every
other name of those originally commissioned
| can be found"
