THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Southeastern Kansas, embracing the
counties Of Crawford, Cherokee, Labette,
Montgomery, Neosho and Wilson, which
we're formerly six Of the fifteen counties
Of the old Second district, and Chautau-
qua, Cowley and Elk counties OF tho
former Third congressional district, make
the nine counties OF this Third congress
ional district which In 1860 had popula-
ton Of 1,774, but which had increased 30
JO,O34 in 1870. It's counties are herewith
arranged in tabulated form with refer
ence 10 its Legislative districts:
The advocate., 1890-07-09

II may be seen that this congressional
district has seventeen representative dis
tricts and seven senatorial, and 1t may be
remarked thatat the election Of 1888 all the
republican candidates for representative
and senator were elected except Hon. p
W. Mess, in the Thirty-third district, in
Neosho county, who was beaten by
Joseph W. Martin by "a votes. The
representative in the Twenty-fourth dis
trict lacked 81 votes Of having a majority;
the one in the Twenty-sixth district lack
ed i40 votes Of having a majority, and
the one in the Sixtieth district lacked 154
votes Of having majority
The state senator's are M. G. Kelley, Of
Crawford county, whose majority was O.;
W. s. Norton, Of Cherokee, who lacked
$50 votes Of having a majority; O. II.
Kimball, Of Labette, who was reputed TO
have had . majority but was really beat
en- by7 votes by George Campbell; Dan
lei McTaggart, who lacked 365 votes Of
having majority s. s. Kirkpatrick, Of
Wilson, Of the Twelfth district, whose
majority was 40; r. W. M. Roe, of Elk,
Of the Fourteenth district, whose ma
jority was 7s1, and L. p. King, Of Cowley
county, whose majority was SOC.
SOME RETROSPECTIVE NOTES ON THIS
DISTRICT.
In 1866 there were but two representa-
tives from the territory Of this district in
the legislature. In the legislature Of
Of 1868 there we're Ave; Of 1871 there
we're eight, and in the legislature OF 1878
there we're seventeen.
In the race for United States Senator
In 1873, Senator Pomeroy received six of
these votes on January 2S, and on the
following day John James Ingalls, re-
celved ten Of them.
Six years later there were twenty y-eight
votes from these nine counties, and Sen
ator ingalls, received on his first days
race IA votes; IL votes on his second day;
t6 on his third, and 20 on his fourth and
last day Of his race. OF these twenty
votes, 10 were cast by republicans, 5 by
greenbackers and 3 by democrats. At
this joint convention of both houses Of
the legislature, Lieutenant Governor
Lyman U. Humphrey presided, and four
Of Ingalls, votes came from Montgomery
country; Senator Daniel Grass and Rep
resentative A. B. Clark having voted for
him all the way through; G. j. COrbin,
democrat, came 10 him on the third and
The advocate., 1890-07-09

is again unfortunate when he claims
that Mr.. Ingalls, represented correctly
the sentiment OF his constituents
when he voted TO extend for twenty
years tho charters of the national
banks. He was elected by the Votes
Of 70 republicans, democrats and
7 greenbackers in the Legislature OF
1879. The Kansas republican plat
form on which those senators and
representatives were elected had tho
following plank:
Experience has shown the greenbaCk cur.
rcncy 10 BIO admirably adapted tO Che wants Of
trade; and tO the end that there may DO but one
class OF paper currency we favor the withdrawal
OF the national bank notes, substituting therefor
groenback currency issued directly by tho gov
emment rs the sole paper currency Of the cOun-
try. And we demand that II be issued In sum-
Client volume 10 fully meet the wants Of business
without deprcciatng lbs yalue and That It shall
no received In payment OF all debts, public and
private, except as otherwise provided by con.
tract"
The democratic party declared:
ave favor the full reconciliation Of silver, the
removal Of all restrictions on ts coinage, placing
II on an equality with gold the repeal Of the
national banking laws the retirement OF ma
tlonal bank notes, and the substitution Of treas
ury notes, commonly called greenbacks, in their
place, said notes tO be made legal tender for
all purposes"
Theplatiorm Of the greenback party
declared:
"That we demand the unconditional repeal OF
tho specie resumption act and the national bank
Ing law, and that the currency be increased in
stead OF being contracted"
All Of the parties, therefore, whose
members Of the Legislature united in
Mr.. Ingalls, reelection, had declared
in their platforms against the extern
sion Of the charters Of national banks;
yet, on the 22d day Of June follow
ing, he did vote for such extension.
II the editor Of the Wier Journal
with the Candor and apparenthonesty
with which he has conducted the dis
Cussion Of this question thus far, will
investigate Mr.. Ingalls, record fully,
he will learn to his satisfaction that
the senator has never yet represented
the interests Of his constituents faith
fully and honestly.

POLITICAL HISTORY Az sKETCHED BY
COUNTIES.
Probably Labette county is the most
conspicuous in It's political history, for it
has furnished the only Congressman
Bishop w. Perkins-that the district has
ever had, and he was, before his Congress
sional service, judge Of the district court
for the eleventh judicial district, and he
was succeeded as Judge by George Chand-
ler, who is now IN assistant secretary of
the interior department at Washington,
ID. @. Judge Perkins was at Topeka
during Ingalls, struggle for reelection in
1879, and was one Of his most servile fol-
lowers. But to the county histories, al
phabetlcally arranged.
Chautauqua-This county, with Elk,
was organized as Howard, which was
divided intO two equal parts. 1t is the
only county in Kansas that has elected
cOlOred man to a seat In the House OF
Representatives lie is the present mem
ber and his name is Alfred Fairfax, for.
merly Of Louisiana. Twelve years ago
there was a political revolution effected
in this county, and the republicans on
Governor lacked 166 votes Of having a
majority, and four years later the short
age Of majority was 290. It's voters are
in harmony with the ST. Louis demands
of last December, and the county will be
heard from 10 the discontinue of the old
parties next November.
Cherokee--James r. HalIowell figured
as the political acrobat from this county.
