The advocate., 1890-10-01
THE WESTERN VETERAN AND MRS. LEASE

and his followers, have reached out with
their "boodle" and hired the above named
sheet, which has a few thousand sub
scribem among the soldiers Of Kansas, TO
engage In their campaign Of vilihcation
and falsehood against the alliance and
speakers In the peoples party movement
The small-souled partisans who pretend
10 run this "non-partlsan" sheet in the
interest Of old soldiers-but for "boodle,"
in this campaign, from the republican,
in It's issue Of Sept, II publishes what
purpOrts TO be Mrs. Leases statement Al
RossvIlle that John A. Logan for nearly
two years, at the beginning Of the war,
hesitated as to whether he would cast
his fortune upon the union or rebel side,
and then says Mrs. Lease uttered the
most ungodly and devilish lie ever
breathed from human heart. RESPONSE
BILE parties who heard Mrs. Lease speak,
at Rossyille and other places, in eloquent
terms OF the loyal services Of Grant and
Logan 10 our country, will unite in de-
nounclng this calumny against this noble
woman as one Of the most "devilish ma
ignant lies" that even these pupils Of In
gals could invent; and then these sol
dier-edltors Of this "non- partisan soldier
paper proceed to tell the alliance II must
purge itself Of "such leadership" or go
down to dlshonorable death. The
truth is that when the old soldiers Of
Kansas find out that this sheet they are
supporting has become nothing more
than one Of Ingalls, hired reputation
thieves, in the pay Of the republican par
ty, It's days are numbered.
AT the great meeting here, at Buling-
ton to-day, thousands heard this noble,
silver-tongued woman pay u tribute to
Grant and Logan's memories and servic-
es TO their country and the soldiers un-
der them, which Lew Hanback, himself
cannot approach Shame on these hire
lings and vultures who stoop 80 low as to
attack and lie on a woman whom none OF
them can answer in debate before the
people; and this woman, the daughter Of
soldier father starved TO death mt An
dersonvllle, a soldier OF the 147th New
YOak volunteers and the sister Of two
brothers who wore the blue, both Of them
killed in battle-one at Fredericksburg
and the other at Gettysburg.
Out upon such jackals who, as the
plant tools Of Jno. j. Ingalls,, have no
other hope Of success to the republican
ticket In Kansas this fall unless they can
"flre up" the soldier element with their
usual campaign rot by appealing to their
preiudices, TO continue voting as they
shot, in obedience TO Ingalls, command,
aided In the same line by another hired
assassin Of this noble woman, Major Hud-
son Of the Topeka Capital All right,
Ingalls, hirelings; II you think to further
blind and prejudice the old soldiers Of
Kansas against their sister and advocate
for justice, Mrs. Lease, just keep on with
your mud singing, and see where you
land in November next. The old soldiers
Of Kansas can no longer be held in line
by the "lying promises" and treachery Of
such men as Ingalls, and his ilk. The
very men that have kept the 10000 sol
diers of this state out Of millions Of dol
lars, that Ingalls, and his crew might
have a clearer field to rob the old soldiers
and farmers Of their homes at Kansas
