The advocate., 1890-05-21


John J. ingalls, Is benedtlng the cornburners,
no supplies them with rebellion literature, and
also with mortgages at Kansas rates. Yours In
democracy. A, II. BEAM.
The above letter WAS sent % the St Louis Re-
public by our register Oi deeds, Roscoe Il, Rcam,
Had II not been for republican votes, he could
not have been elected, and this Is the way he
thanks the people for their kindness. They can
now read the lines above penned by him and re-
pcnt OF their folly. lti always thus. When u
man goes back on his party and votes for the
other partys candidate simply because social
ly he Is good fellow, We iind that the man, soon
after election, regrets the rash step he took.
The sur cast upon the farmers Is very becoming
coming as II does from man who Is living from
the public crib and who WAS placed there by the
farmers. In his weak attempt tO cast reflections
upon the greatest af Kansans Senator fngalls)
Ne goes out OF his way TO decry the farmers OF
this state by applying TO them the epithet OF
"C0rhburnBrs.o Instead Of slurng the farmers
bR the county and at the same time trying To be-
little Senator Ingalls, (Which reminds us OF q
#OOdbBCker trying 10 cut down u giant oak)
why does he not In the abundance OF his pro
iessed sympathy, reduce his fees for recording
the papers placed In his hands by the farmers2
He knows and every other person knows that
the register OF deeds office Is the best paying Of
Ace In Harper county today, and further every
person acquainted with the facts knows that he
could reduce the fees One-hali, and then make q
better living than do the bankers and loan firms
which no seems 80 eager 10 abuse. From the
bottom OF his heart he believes that the interest
charged by the loan companies at the present
time Is reasonable, all things considered. He
believes that John j. ingalls, Is the bralnlest man
In the senate; he believes that II would be a
calamity for the people Of Kansas not 10 return
him 30 the senate next fall lie knows and be-
lleves that John j. ingalls, can and will do more
for the farmers interests than any one from
Kansas but being young and inexperienced and
having beenelecte 10 the best paying office In
the county, and his friends not taking the pre-
caution 10 "hOOp" his head II has cracked and
his democratic egOtlsm Is OozIng from all Sides
We venture the assertion that the cOgnomen OF
"cOrnbarner" will be sweet morsel for the
young gentleman TO chew during the fall Of 1891.
The above from the Harper Semi
Weekly Graphic is interesting read
ing just at this time The Republic
published a fac-simile of the letter
head referred to, showing John j.
Ingalls, as first on the board Of direct
ors? Does anyone discover in the
above comments OF the Graphic, a
denial Of the fact Of Mr. Ingalls, con-
nection with the Southern Kansas
Mortgage Company7 On the other
hand Mr.. Beam is rebuked for giving
this fact to the people. Mr.. Ingalls, aud
his henchmen would have preferred
that the people be kept in ignorance
Of his relation to a mortgage COM
pany that is even now foreclosing
mortgages and evicting farmers Of
southern Kansas from their homes.
He would prefer to pose before the
people as the great champion OF unlh-
cation between the south and the
west leaving all these trifing mat
ters in the dark. They are private
affairs with which the public has
nothing TO do, and Mr.. Beam has
committed an objectionable sin in
making these private affairs public.
He has even referred to the Kansas
farmers as "Corn burners" and for
this monstrous offense, dire disaster
is to be visited upon his head by the
virtuous and indignant husbandmen;
while Mr.Ingalls and partners in in
