somewhat Of eulogy upon Senator Pom
er0y, his conclusion was as follows:
John ). Ingalls, Is also spoken o. He is bril-
liant writer and speaker, cold, heartess, unprin-
clplod, who would toll Ile and relish II more
than In telling the truth
And thus his paper spoke on April Z,
1861, after taking retrospect Of the sen
Atorial election Of April 4, 1861:
WHO'S ELECTED?
We have no disposition 10 lind fault with the
senators whom the clerks have chosen b. repre-.
sent ua at Washington. The single ballot lasted
two hours Sometimes eight men were on the
floor at once changing their votes. Some men
who inquired how their votes were cast were
told differently from what they voted. Men who
ought not tO have told how the vote stood did
tell how II stood and sent paper announcements
10 the shaky men. For one long hour Marcus J.
ParrOtt had hiy.slx votes and was elected. They
were two hours taking the vote and the result
was not announced and panic relgned In the dis
traCted crowd. VIII the vote be recorded M
true statement OF the popular vine Are senators
elected by clerks and eayesdroppers? The "Ot
ncal" result Is incorrect.
Underall the circumstances we have no heslta-
tlOn In saylng-and every man who tried 10 keep
the record will agree with us-that II Is mere
guess work tO tell who WAS elected. Mr.. Morrow
and Mr. Lynde requested the roll called again,
but II was not called and the best working Of ex-
perIenced fingers iaed % produce satisfactory
result.
THE STUPID, WHINING UTTERANCEs OF A
sLAvIsH MONOPOLIsT.
The Times declaration that "Senator
Ingalls, has majority Of $4,000 Of the
Kansas people with him on the southern
question" Is utterly untrue as to MAORI
ty, and II is very poor commendation Of
the senator's attitude. But the qulntes-
sence Of stupidity Is reached In this;
How do the republican farmers Of Kansas like
the idea Of the politics Of Kansas being con-
trOIled by the politicians OF the south? How do
they like the idea OF the farmers organization OF
Kansas being used ~ Il cats-paw 10 do the work
OF the negrO.hatlng, union-hatlng, sOldlerhatng
southern democrats?
The Times will not scare any sensible
member Of the farmers alliance by in
stituting inquiries that exist In the mind
OF a malevolent writer, that have no more
foundation in fact than has lbs talk about
the true origin Of "the anti-Ingalls reso-
lutlon" as something from an "ex-Ken-
tucAy Democrat"
When Salmon P. Chase, the republican
secretary Of the treasury as the first Sc
lection of President Lincoln, took a ret
respect il were no wonder he should say:
My agency In procuring the passage Of the
national banking act, was the greatest financial
mistake Of my llie II has built up a monopoly
that Affects every industry In the country, II
should be repealed, but before this can be accom-
pshed the people will be arayed on one side
and the banks on the other In a contest such as
we have never seen In this country.
Senator Ingalls, openly declared his po-
sition on this national bank question,
when the United States senate on June
%, 1882, voted to extend the charters Of
the national banks for twenty years. He
thought the act Of 1868 should not be re-
pealed, but that the system should be
perpetuated, and he and D, r. Anthony,
and their aristocratic class, are on one
side, and the industrial alliances in Kan
sas and elsewhere are on the other. Let
the fight go on,
