MR.. INGALLS, ACTION on THE QUESTION.
The following action Of Senator Ingalls,
in the United States Senate on June ~,
1889, is truly reported as it appeared in
the Congressional Rccord.
Mr.. Ingalls, (when Mr. Plumb's name was
called, and after having voted i'm the aiirma-
tiye)-My colleague MIR. Plumb has been
confined 10 his bed with illness since Friday
last. He sent me word this morning that no
desired TO be paired against the passage Of
this bill; and as no arrangement has yet
been made 20 that effect, / will withdraw
my vote and announce that am paired
with him upon this subject.
The friends Of this bank rechartering
measure numbered forty-siy in the SEN
ate, and lbs enemies reached twenty-five.
Senator Ingalls, chose 10 take his rank
with the Senators from the New England
states and from New York, and with
Benjamin Harrison, William Malone,
John Sherman and William Window.
How true the scriptural declaration
that "where the treasure Is there will the
heart be also"
THE CHAMPIONSHIP or PRESTON II.
PLUMB.
The Senators from Missouri, Kentucky.
Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Nevada and
Oregon, with George II. Pendleton and
Daniel w. Voorhees,, were with our rep
resentatiye Senator from Kansas, Mr..
Plumb. Senator Voorhees, in his extend
ed remarks said:
Tho bill under consideration takes hold
uyOn the very foundation Of free popular
government. In the closing days OF the last
Congress and the Hayes administration the
banks precipitated m issue upon the people
which ought not TO be forgotten on m occa-
sion like this; nm issue no full OF danger TO
constitutional liberty that il ought TO be
faithfully remembered, now that they are
asking new and definite lease of power.
IL is now twenty years since this government
engaged in building up, fostering and en-
couraging the vast and overshadowing sys-
tenn OF national banking.
No favor eyer'demanded by the banks has
been withheld, no privilege denied, until
now they constitute the most powerful mon
eyed corporation on the face OF tho globe.
They have demanded the violation OF legis-
lOtiye contracts with the people, and the de-
mand has been granted, where their own
gains and the peoples burdens have been
increased thousand fold beyond right and
Justice They have been fortified in their
OF moneyod caste and privilege
by double lines of unjust laws, supplement
ed with here a redoubt and there a ditch, TO
guard them from the correcting hand OF
popular indignation, until now, deeming
themselves impregnable, they bully and defy
the government.
WHOM DID INGALLS, REPRESENT IN HIS
VOTE?
When John James Ingalls, was secured
a seat in the United States Senate for the
second time, after a violent four days
which terminated on January 81,
1870, out Of the 80 votes returned for him
&c Of those were elected to seats In the
Kansas Legislature at the general cleo
tion Of 1878, and twenty state senators
who voted for him were chosen In 1876.
Hence, from that election Of 1878 Ingalls,
secured the votes Of two out Of the FIVE
senators, who were elected TO fiji vacan-
cies, and he had 6l out Of the 100 mem
bers Of the house Of representatives that
were elected, thus getting 60 out Of the
number Of 134I OF that 06 there was SO
republicans, five democrats and five
greenbackers. The classification of the
whole SO votes recorded for him would
