The advocate., 1890-12-24

Throughout the rural portions OF
Atchison county comes the well nigh
universal protest against another re-
turn OF Mr. Ingalls, 10 the United
States Senate, the feeling being that
he has been completely traitOrous 10
their best and most sacred interests.
On the 18th inst, the Hart Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union,
No 2OSl, OF Old Huron, adopted the
following preamble aud resolutions,
which might not harm even the In
gals boodlers to give a passing no.
tice:
lWhereas, John j. ingalls, is not representa-
tive Of the best interest OF Kansas and as he has
proved himself traitor 10 the interests OF tho
people he represents by voting for monopoues,
etc., and has not corrected his mistakes, va de-
mand his retirement from tho United States SEN
ate
We further demand oi the Legislature that they
see 10 II that he is 10 retired and man who will
represent the people elected 10 nm his place.
From the standpoint Of a republi-
can, who is neither corrupt nor tied
down to a dead, irrevocable past, the
following is presented from the home
paper Of Senator ingalls,, the Atchi-
son Champion;
The frantic efforts OF the nxers and the Ingalls,
organs 10 create the impression that the people
OF Kansas demand the reelection OF Ingalls,,
despite the expression OF their sentiment on this
question on the lth OF November last, has been
abOrtIve, There Is no such demand, and for
most excellent reasons Senator Ingallb has
been thoroughly tried, and In each and every
particular he has been found wanting The peO.
pie have concluded that Ingallslam Is ono thing
they have no further use iOri that the kind Of
politics represented by the Ingalls, crowd can
with very great profit be dispensed WITH and
that the time has come for a new and better Or
der OF things.
Kansas is still republican, as strong and ar
dent and enthusiastic az ever, but along more
progressive lines. It's republlCanlsm has lifted
Itself out OF the old uts and risen tOa higher and
broader plane. 10 tis not tho blind, bateyed, scr.
vile slave to the sO-called protective policy that
lt was It has at length discovered that prOtOc
ton Is curse TO lts interests, hence lt wants no
more Of 10. II has come 10 realize that II has no
use for trusts, combines, etc. II has learned
that political bosssm Of the Ingalls, stripe Is un.
endurable, and IL has wisely determined 10 have
no more Of II. This IN what tho peOple--a large
majority Of Kansas republicans at the polls
last month.
THE ADVOCATE takes no pleasure as
q tantalizing movement in dispelling
the tickling illusion that "Kansas is
still republican, as strong and ardent
and enthusiastic as ever" for the late
election returns confront that state
ment, yet it knows that the Champion
at Atchison, the Champion az Ster-
ling, the Republican at Mcpherson,
and the Tjmes-RepubIicGn at Hutch
ison are progressive" in their poll
tics in a large sense that the News at
Hutchinson and the Topeka Capital
are not.
Hence, The ADVOCATE welcomes to
the field Of respectable journalism the
class Of papers as first above named,
and it warmly commends the Atchi-
son Champion for putting Senator
Ingalls, in his true colors before the
people Of Kansas and Of the nation in
the following outspoken statement:
Ingalls, is prOtectIOnIst, a rabld McKInleyite,
the representative OF trusts and nOnOpOIes, and
