HOPE FOR. INGALLS,.
He May Be Reflected to the Senate
Through Alliance DiHerencea.

He May Be REFLECTED to the Senate
Through Alliance Differences.
The political probabilities in Kansas now
point to the almost certain reelection 10 the
Senate Of John ]. Ingalls,. The first glimpse
Of the situation gave the democratic party
reason for not little EMULATION, for the figures
indicated the defeat of Ingalls Today there
il less Of smoke on the field than there was
week ago, and the definite results OF
the election are known. The Kansas state
senate has 40 members-s9 Of them republicans
and democrat In the lower house the Farm
ers' Alliance is on top with 81 men; there are
% straight republicans and II democrats. On
joint ballot, therefore. the republicans would
have So votes, the alliance 81 and the demo-
Gratis II.
DISTURBANCE IN ALLIANCE RASKa
II everything was peaceful in the ranks Of
the alliance there would be no doubt whatever
as to the retirement Of Senator Ingalls,, but
things will have TO change very materially or
m rites. When the last campaign opened up
the e was general understanding to the effect
that Judge PETER should be the alliance candi-
date for senatorial honors. The farmers put
Mr.. Willets up for governor. but he was de-
feated and now his friends have run him into
the senatorial fight, with most disastrous re-
are concerned. Earlier in the game
thore was q general understanding be-
tween the democracy aud the alliance
would be little too heavy for any republican
aspirant The agreement a. originally made
was to the effect that the democrats should as
sist the alliance in capturing the congressional
delegation and for this the alliance was to turn
in and give the democrats all the state
/ of ha m M n fha f1o-
mocracy was carried out very thoroughly and
as result the alliance swept every congress
sional district, but when 1t came TO voting the
democrats into power the alliance was not
there.
DEMOCRATS nIsausTKD.
The result was disgusted crowd Of Jack
sons descendants and they are now a. strongly
anti-alliance a. the republicans could desire.
At least Ave Of the twelve democrats say very
positively that they will vote for Ingalls, after
the first ballot in preference TO any man tho
alliance can enter FOR the struggle.
Six OF the alliance men (who like most Of
| their brethren in Kansas we're republicans un-
| til this falD have decided to support Ingalls,,
apd they are making other converts In the Al
lance.
II the alliance caucus should be able 10 agree
| on PETER, II II can silence Willetts and his
i friends, then Mr.. Ingalls, will be simply MIR.
| Ingalls, after March 1, 1881. But Willetts' sup.
/ state, with not little force, that
they will vote for Inealls sooner than do
anthing 70 advance the political Interests Of
Judge PETER. A. matter Of fact II viii be
simply impossible for the alliances caucus 70
agree on Milletta. He was . strong democrat
and holds views that are but little short Of
anarchical The republican alliance men
would prefer ingalls, TO willstts and it looks
Just now ~ though they we're going 70 forsake
the man who failed 70 make the running IN the
