n there were "ways that were dark and
tricks that we're vain" in the transactions
relating TO the Kansas state bondsof 1862,
which in the issue as provided by the act
Of legislature Of June 3, 1862, 1t was nom
mated "that no bonds shall be sold for
less than 70 cents on the dollar, and that
the proceeds arising from the sale thereof
shall be paid directly into the treasury Of
the state;" but which we're sold for 60
cents on the dollar, Mr.. Ingalls, proba-
bly, has very good opportunity 10 know
as much Of or about them-as good as
almost anyone in Kansas except the di-
rect parties In the transaction.

tor Stevens, the agent Of Messrs. Hillyer
and Robinson, obtained 95 cents on the
dollar, and also bonus Of $4,000, Of

This man turned up az a candidate be-
fore the republican state convention In
September, 1862, as candidate against
Thos. A. Osborn for lieutenantgovernor,
and obtained about 80 per cent Of its
delegates. He was appointed a member
of the republican state central committee,
from which place he was depOsed after
appealing 10 the opposition element Of
the state TO elect him at the polls over
Senator Osborn, whose nomination he
had bolted
The republicans in their platform 10y
ally resolved:
That, as the representatives Of the people OF
Kansas, we most heartily endorse the admins
tratl0n Of the president Of the United states;
that having implicit confidence In the integrity
Of his character and the steadastness OF his puT-
pose, we will cooperate with him 90 the extent
OF our ability In his efforts to perDetuate the
union.
Mr.. ingalls,, whose conscience has al
ways been elastic upon morals and poll
tics, found himself with q new set Of
patriots (P) who thus resolved:
That the people absorbed In the dangers which
menace the country and the state have neglected
and abandoned the old political organizations
That we deeply regret the present unfortunate
condition OF our beloved country, and hope thai
such measures may be adopted by the govern,
ment 80 that the constitution may be preserved
MS II Is, and that the country may be restored as
II was.
Mr.. Ingalls, was on ticket whose head
was Hon. William r. Wagstaff, then and
before and now a member Of the demo
cratic party, and Ingalls, supporters stood
upon the planks Of platform just above
given.
