UNPARALLELED REPUBLICAN DEFEC-
TION IN KANSAS.

Under the weight Of "third term" can
didacy, with the present chairman Of the
republican state central committee, most
violently, as a state Senator, opposing or
ganic and statutory prohibition; with the
senior United States Senator from the
state, laughing prohibition TO sCorn, Gu
loglzing (2) It's defenders as "long haired
men and short haired women-the I'M
sexed Of both sexes" ETC., and possibly
John p. 81. John, rather too much de-
voted TO the interests OF the railroad cor
porations, having received AZ per cent OF
the popular vote. This event OF political
significance in 1882, will vastly more
than repeat itself in 1890; for in addition
to the defeat Of republican state officers
this year, there will be an overwhelming
number OF republican nominees for Rep
resentatlves to the state legislature, who
will fail TO secure certificates of election,
and which like fate awaits most OF their
candidates for Representative to Con-
gress--if not all Of them-and many Of
their nominees for judges Of the district
court are morally certain to 90 70 the
wall.
The Atchison Champion, the Leaven-
worth Times and the Emporla R9pubb.
can all opposing the fourth return Of
John ]. Ingalls, to the United States Sem
ate, possesses a significance OF weighty
character, that has world of meaning
and the Times refusing to hoist the
names Of Lyman U. Humphrey and Will
liam Higgins, is an earnest that D. r.
Anthony is asserting his manhood
LIST TO THIS IRON THE PAPER FOUNDED
BY THE LATE JOHN A. MARTINI
The Atchison Champion, in an able
editorial on "Ingalls, the alleged alb
sorber," asks the following questions;
When and where and by what law did
rule, edict or other form OF authority, the
decree go forth that "loyalty 10 the repubi-
can party is determined by loyalty TO John
J. InRalls2" That the impression prevails
among a certain class Of republicans that
the interests of Senator Ingalls, and those OF
the republican party In Kansas are identical
the Champion 10 we'll aware, but by what
mysterious process did Mr.. Ingalls swallow
che republican party, absorb and 80 entirely
assimilate ID that il has practically no longer
any existence outside Of his strange person
Rlityp
The Champion earnestly proceeds to
speak 40 follows:
Seriously, Mr.. Ingalls, counts for just one
republican, and not very exalted type Of
republican at that. He is a spurious sample
OF republicanism.
Loyalty TO John j. Ingalls, is no more a
test of the party fealby than was loyalty 20
the scarlet woman Of the BabylOnian period
a test of devotion TO virtue. And the silly
dupes, the poor sycophants who have raised
this CRY, will discover ere long that loyalty
Co the republican party is a matter az far
from and as high above mere loyalty 10
that one chronic Office seeking republican
az Pixies Peak is above che misG-wrRpped,
coyote tenanted plain that lies IN aridity
and uselessness at les base,
Let us have no more of this colossal abb
tbe republican party" For tho sake Of the
great party with which we are identified, Of
whose history we are 80 proud, and of whose
future we are 80 hopeful, lot us quit being
fools and begin to deport ourselves like
men.
There is no real suffering anywhere In
Kansas, except among the Ingalls, nxerS.
