The advocate., 1890-09-24

In the early part OF October lsb2, When
Mr. Ingalls, was a candidate for lieuten-
ant governor on the democratic ticket, at
a meeting in the city Of Atchison, no was
accused Of having favored Marcus j.
Parrot, LeavenwOrth man for United
States Senator, against Samuel O. Pome-
roy, who was an Atchison man, and the
charge was likely to injure his prospects
81 home Mr.. Ingalls, thereupon made
the following statement concerning that
famous Senatorial election;
But for my manipulation Of the votes Of the
Joint convention Samuel q. POmerOy would nave
been defeated by three votes.
Concerning this confession, Sol Miller
in the White Cloud Chtef October 20,
1862, said:
But the above Is not the worst feature OF his
character and acts that has como out during the
canvass. 10 In we'll known that during the sena-
tOral contest OF 1861 Mr.. ingalls, pr0iessed 10 be
warm friend OF Mr.. parrOtt This was 70
Gently put no him, and seemed likely tOlnlure his
popularity no home, when no arose ana made u
startling confession. He said 10 was through MS
manWuyerng as secretary OF the senate during
the voting that Parrot was defeated. THIS clears
up a hitherto dark subject. I'm looking over the
names and figures In the senatorial vote we were
never able 10 satisfy ourselves how Parrot could
be beaten. A few months since we were told
that II was strongly suspected that one OF the
clerks was brlbed during the confusion ana
changing OF votes 10 make false entries In order
tO defeat ParrOtt Now, Mr. ingalls, unbmshngy
acknowledges that IL was through MS manuuV-
ering that ParrOtt was defeated. This net WAS
not only breach OF honor and betrayal OF u
friend but II 10 does not smack strongly Qt per-
Jury we are no Judge Of the article. How happy
Mr. ParOtt must feel 10 have his associate on
the ticket, I'm order to save his own bacon get
up and confess that he sWlndled him out OF the
senatOrshlp, while processing Che Warnest friend
ship for him.
And how happy Sol Miller must now
feel in supporting this same betrayer Of
friendship-this same confessed periurer
for the fourth term in the United States
Senate Circumstances alter cases, how
ever. When the foregoing tribute TO
Mr.. Ingalls, was written he was a candi-
date for Acknowledgements on the dem
ocratic ticket AS a democrat he was a
very, very naughty, wicked man, but as a
republican he is "A saint IL makes diff
ference, you see
INGALLS, Az SUCCESSOR TO JOHN A. MARTIN
IN THE STATE SENATE.
John A. Martin, who was secretary Of
the Wyandotte constitutional convention,
was the youngest member Of the Kansas
senate. BY the grace Of Senator Pome-
roy he became postmaster at Atchison,
and moreover held commission in the
Kansas Eighth regiment, volunteer In
fantry,which caused a vacancy in the sec
ond senatorial district Atchison and
Brown counties. The colleague Of Sena-
tor Martin, II. r, DuttOn Of Brown coun-
ty, was appointed state treasurer to fill q
vacancy, hence two senators we're elected
In that district in 1861.
Mr.. Ingalls, received st4 votes and had
a majority Of 100 over George W. Bow
man. William r. Barnett, his republi-
can colleague, had 1884 votes, and no op'
ponent This was the second and last
office that Mr.. Ingalls, has been elected tC
by the people Of Kansas. 1t occurred
twenty-eight years ago last November
SENATOR INGALLS, IN HIS RELATION TC
KANSAS WAR BONDS.
The Legislature Of 1862, in some re-
spects, was the most interesting one In
the history Of Kansas. Skipping details
of general Legislation, it may be said thai
there was a great deal Of interest clus
tered around John w. Robinson, secretary
of state, and Geo. s. Hillyer, auditor Of
state, who entered into a contract with
