WHAT Is HIS STEWARDSHIP IN HIS SECOND

WHAT r. HIS STEWARDSHIP IN HIS sEcONI
AND THIRD TERMsY
In answer 10 this question, Ingalls, may
point TO his casting vote given for the
tariff act Of March 3, 1883, and TO his vote
for the Aldrich-Allison tariff bill IN Janu-
ary, $780,
In his interview published in the New
York Work World, he says these bright
and statesmanike Cuttings:
Public llfe has degenerated into species OF
serYltude, ana the inevitable tendency In popular
government Is towards medlOcrlty and pusllla-
nlmlty.
Occasional surrender OF individual Judgment
10 public opinion N prudent, and respectful
Difference TO widespread error Is now and then
eXpedient.
fhe dIscOntented, the unfortunate and the
wretched attribute their Calamltles 10 everything
else rather than ~ themselves
The ordinary business Of congress can be sue
Cesslully conducted by the average merchant or
lawyer good solid sense and Industry are the
essentials
Ingalls, latest henchman is "Ivanhoe,"
who writes to the Topeka Capitai from
Washington, d. O., April 19. Hear this
from him;
We have the senior senator placed between
two fires; the money kings lghtlng him on one
side because he Is for the people, and the people
lighting him on the other because he Is against
them,
Cannot the Capital employ more
truthful correspondent and can not In
gals pick up a brighter man?

WILL EAsLEY STILL MASK THE sENATORi
FACE.
Must falsehOod forever be the agency
invoked TO throw a glamour over the
acts and utterances OF this maa Ingalls,
Must Easley easily reiterate without a
blush the fallaciOus claims Of this sena-
tors devoted interest to the 5oliers and
wealth-producers OF Kansas? Can he not
strive 10 make a halt at some tangible
point Of rectitude and Of TRUTH
This great republic cannot afford to be
unjust TO those who imperiled their lives
In defense Of this union Of states
The intellectual people Of Kansas do
not at this time take very deep interest
In that "good reading Of Ingalls, speech
on February 10, 1878, and which is some
what reproduced, verbatim et Rteratim,
In the Hutchinson NeaCs' extra of ingalls,
some two dozen photographs from that
enterprising journal, the New York
WOrM Of April l3, 1889.
The silver bill, for which Ingalls, voted
and which is not now regarded as very
much Of relief measure, nor has II been
for years, to the people, can not exalt a
statesman
Il carried over the veto of President
Hayes, on February 2S, 1870, in the SEN
ate by a majority Of 30, and in the house
by a majority OF 1876. The senators from
twenty-three states supported the bill,
the veto Of Hayes to the contrary not
withstandlng, and those from seven states
IT,
James A. Garfield, Of Ohio; Jacob II.
Stewart, of Minnesota, and Alpheus S.
Williams, Of Michigan, were the only
threeof the representatives Of the people,
whose homes were west Of the Allie
ghanies, who stood by Hayes veto mes
sage.
Did not Ingalls,, the devoted (?) anti
demonetizer Of silver, support with
alGority the "anti-silver" ticket Of 1880
Garfield and Arthur, and that Of Blaine
in 1884, who persistentIy voted against
silver coinage in that struggle of 1878?
But Easley shocks the truth when he
says:
ingalls, has from the beginning OF his public !
career supported all the measures which are now
being demanded for the relief Of the labor and
business OF the country.
HIS ACTION IN CONGRESS DRAMATICALLY
OPPOSITE.
II were idle TO attempt to show
The written and unwritten history Of In
CALLS devotion 10 monopoly and to plu-
tocracy as a United States senator, but
lew instances are here given:
During his irst term in the senate he
was found in his relation to "high sal
aries" opposing the bill introduced by
George G, Wright, Of Iowa, to restore the
original salary Of the president of the
United States, by coming back from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum. Senator
Wright's bill was supported by the sena-
.ors from Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Missouri, New York and
Texasi by Henry L. Dawes, James NJ.
Harvey, David M. Key, John A. Logan,
Justin 8. Morrill,, Oliver p Morton, AL
