Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-06-14
Gen. ingalls, has stopped firing at the

oil. The General has gone TO Kansas to
qnel the rising Alliance rebellion. This
fire in the rear worries him beyond
measure. If he succeeds in beating
back the allied farmers of Kansas. he
will at once resume active hOstilties in
South Carolina and Mississippi, and the
war will proceed with renewed vgOr
for six years mOre.--IOwa Tribune.
Since the return of the General to
Washington, we see a special to the
Kansas City Times, that states that
President Harrison and Secretary Rnsk
are to assist the General in suppressing
the Alliance rebellion in Kansas, viz:

WALHINGToN, d. g.. April 23.-rhe
return Of Senator Ingalls, yesterday
from his recent trip home to Kansas,
coupled with the appearance to-day IN a
leading New York paper of the follow

quite futtering in political circles, es-
pecialv among the Kansas colony
''Ingall> and Harrison are about to join
hands The president is studying the
situation in Kansas with a view of put
ting the administration in the field for
the support of Senator ingalls,. Aid is
To be extended through the agricultural
department which, because of the pc
culiar character of the Kansas revolt
against Mr.. ingalls,, may be made
powerful instrument liz the campaign.
The president, although through selfish
motives. has decided to 90 to Senator
Ingalls, assistance. lie will do so by
giving Uncle jerry Rusk carte blanche
to abOr with Kansas farmers. The state
is one OF the seats of agriculture and
supports several of those institutions
known AS agricultural stations. 1t may
readily be seen, therefore. how much in
flnence the agricultural department. may
be made to exert in such territory
on such an occasion.
"Ihis combination between Mr. In
gals and the president shows that
tight time in politics makes strange bed
fellows. Perhaps no two men in the
whole country are more unlike than the
dry, phlegmatlc, cOlOrless little man
from Indiana and the explosive and ag-
yressive senator from Kansas. They
don't touch each other at any point. At
the outset Mr.. Ingalls, did not like the
president, but Mr. ingalls, own scat is
threatened and he must for the present
smooth down his quilts. He probably
sees. too, that The power of patronage is
being used everywhere to compass the
PRESIDENTS nomination, and believing,
AS he dOes. that Mr.. Cleveland will again

"The president it is plain enough, has
jumped ut the opportunity to make tile
trade. He expects great results from it.
No matter how well the use Of patron
age in fixing delegates for the next ma
ti0nal convention may pan out, he will
not be above the necessity of a champion
in the senate. If he can secure Mr.. In
gals for that work he will be able TO
sleep of nights. Mr.. Edmunds has
served very well in that capacity on Oc-
casiOns, but he is not exactly the man
for big rough-and-tumble during the
long sessions of congress Of The cam
paign year, when the presidential policy
always comes in for pretty severe
handling on the part of the opposition.
SO MIR. ingalls, is to be secured if Uncle
Jerry Risk and his department under
the presidents direction can accomplish
