During the campaign of 1862, Ingalls,
ran for lieutenant governor on an OPP
position Republican ticket. On Sept.
IL, 1862 the Republican central com
mittee OF the state issued an address to
the loyal voters of Kansas, saying;
There can be but two political par
ties in the United States to-day. One
is for union and freedom; the other for
disuniOn and slavery. Wagstaff, Ingalls,
and Parrot are making their campaign
against LlncOln's emancipation proc
! lamation.
The Troy Chief of October 80, 1862,
said:
Last winter when list of members
of the legislature was made for public
alton John J. Ingalls, put his politics
| down as John Brown. Now he is go
! ing hand in hand with Wagstaff, Gam
bell, Lakin, Goss Il Co., and is running

meetings. and pandering for secession
votes. y pretty John Brown man

On November 5, 1852, the Topeka
State Record said:
The result of the election may be set
down as an emphatic endorsement by
1
proclamation, which was the issue.
Every vote cast by the majority against
| Wagstaff, ingalls, and their ticket may
be counted in favor of that policy. = =
| The votes of the opposition will, of
course, be counted by the enemies of the
Union on their side. Still false traitors
will get but little comfort from the result
of the Kansas election"
The Southern Kansas Herald, October,
1862, says:
Against William r. Wagstaff as man
| and citizen, we can only speak III the
highest terms. We shall oppose his
ticket because the sentiments he enter
tains are in opposition to the present
policy of the national administration.
At least the President has issued a proc
lamation fixing the doom of slavery.
Loyal men all over the nation are ex-
pressing their joy and applauding the
| President for this noble act. How does
the wOuld-be-governor stand thereon?
We believe there are few men in Kan
sas who do not indOrse this proclama-
ton, and that this element only created
and will support this ticket.
LedUen,0orth Conservative, Oct. 9, '62:
1t is known that Mr.. Wagstaff and
the whole ticket is opposed to the adj
of this war will turn, we believe, upon
the result of the presidents emancipa-
ton proclamation. Our policy thereon
is detinity settled. After Jan. l next
this UnioniS to be restored only through
the downfall of slavery. To that policy
the mOngrel ticket of Kansas stands
before the world opposed.
The Troy Chief, November, 1862 after
the election said:
We imagine two of the cheapest feel
ing cuSSes in the state of Kansas about
this time must be Marcus PARROT and
j. j. ingalls,. One out of spite and the
other i'll moment of bitter dissapoint-
ment desel ted their party principles,
party and friends, expecting by the aid
of sOreheads and Democratic votes, in
the absence of thousands of loyal
votes 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, October %, 1862, said:
ingalls,, in the senatorial contest of
Parrott and POmeroy, as clerk of the
senate, acknowledged that he changed
the votes so as to count Pomery in. We

rOtt was defeated. How does Mr.. Par
rott now feel with such an associate on
the ticket with him? Mr.. Ingalls,, we
are informed, however, is a confirmed
atheist. This accounts for everything.

by conscientious scrupleS or he in

the hereafter.
In 1864 Mr.. ingalls, was again found
running for lieutenant governor on the
ticket opposed to the Republican ticket
in Kansas. 1.-The tone of the conven.
ton which nominated him was in
bitter opposition to Lincoln,' says the
Topeka Record, September Is, 1864:
/, The Paola Herald said, October IS
1864:
The convention which met at Topeka
the 18th instant was made up of sore
heads, Democrats, boilers and disorgan.

An address issued by the Republican
state central committee to the Iowa
people of Kansas, the week prior to the
election Of 1864, closed as follows:
They have thus combined all the dis
loyal elements OF the state against the
loyal Republican party of the state.
