The advocate., 1890-11-05

been made 30 that effect, ] will withdraw
my vote and announce that ] am paired
with him upon the subject.
Senator Jones, Of Nevada, and Senator
Plumb, OF Kansas, we're the only two 10
publlcans who we're among the twenty
Eve Senators who opposed this mammoth
child Of corporate influence, while our
Senator Ingalls, was among the forty-six
whose action protected the privileged
classes.
Thus has Ingalls,, In the language Of
the Ne1Os, "lifted bis state 10 the highest
pinnacle OF distinction In the union,
while he, by the force Of his great mind,
has risen from one Of the least 10 the
greatest Of the Senators Of the United
United States, and his fame is world
wide"
All, does this dear friend Of Ingalls,
ever have TO admit that once this man was
zone Of the least Of the Senators2" And
now-oh, such fulsome adulation-"the
greatest Of the Senators Of the United
Statesl Mirabile dictai
But this political historian Of the NelOs
deliberately AYERS the following: ale
has supported the free coinage Of silver
at every opportunity"
Why, oh why should this Munchausen
at this juncture be thrust upon the peo-
pie Of KansasY Does the Nelos suppose
that the intelligent citizens Of Kansas
are unaware Of his tampering with the
burly "Farmer Funston" when the free
coinage Of silver bill Of the Senate had
come to the House? And would he have
the people forget that Ingalls, voted for
the John Sherman conference bill" that
is now the law Of the land, and which is
in the interest really Of the monometallic
standard?
THE HUGE JOKE OF THE EDITORIAL.
Under the head Of "The Colored Man"
the Ne1os thus rises to the majesty of the
OCCASION:
The civil rights law and the ku-klux laws
show that Ingalls, never for one moment re-
laxed his efforts in behalf OF this greatly
injured race. He is now a staunCh friend of
the Lodge bill. These measures are his
most eloquent advocates.
And yet in the Forum of September,
1887, we find the despairingly inaccurate
walling Senator saying:
There is no logic in politics except the
logic Of events, and judging by events, IL
must be admitted that thus far the expert
ment of negro suffrage in the south under
the constitutional amendments has been an
absolute and unqualified failure. Political
power in that part Of the republic is as OK
Clusively in the hands Of the whites as II was
in 1860, and the indications are that il will
so continue for an indefinite period in the
future. The national authority has been OK
hHusted, and nothing remains but the final
appeal to the national conscience.
On February II, 1876, in the United
States Senate, Senator Ingalls, voted with
the enemies Of fthe colored Senator knock
ing at the door from Louisiana b. s.
Pinchback--against his admission to a
seat in the Senate. With him on that
vote was Bayard and Sanlsbury, Of Della
ware; Bogy, Of Missouri; Cooper, of Ten
nessee; Dennis and Hamilton, Of Mary
land; Eaton, of Connecticut; Goldthwaite,
Of Alabama; Gordon and Norwood, Of
Georgia; Hagar, of California; Johnston,
of Virginia; Kelly, OF Oregon; McCreery
and Stevenson, Of Kentucky; Merrimon
and Ransom, of North Carolina; Stock
ton, of New Jersey, and Thurman, Of
Ohio. Hence he voted with nineteen
