MIR. INGALLS, VOTE AND RECORDED PRO
TEST AGAINST IT..
Tho foregoing section passed the Con
yentlon by vote Of yeas, 29 nays, 81.
Mr. ingalls, name is recorded among the
nays. This proposition having been vot-
ed upon by the people, separately on
October A, 1869; the vote for II was g.
1888; the vote against il was 4,772; the
majority for it was 4,Ol6.
Mr.. Ingalls,, with four other delegates
In the convention, subscribed to the fol-
lowing protest against this protection Of
the HOME:
We vote against the section because, though
weare strongly In favor Of the widest and most
liberal protection 10 the agricultural interest and
honor Of Kansas. We believe lts provisions are
unjust, nydOus, and open 10 fraudulent con-
stuctlon.
Looking backward for a generation;
with Kansas then In population, per-
haps one-sixteenth Of what il now is;
what might be thought Of the sagaclty Of
a Observation-Disclosures; of one giving or
ganlc law TO free and generous people,
who had no better conception of the
Rights Of Human Nature in the last half
Of the Nineteenth Century, who would
sign that protest2
A person devoted to Jurisprudence, de-
Tending such action In a Constitutional
Convention, need not wonder that his en-
lightened constituency on the then east
ern side OF Kansas, by vote Of nearly
two to one, repudiated his action, and
had good reason for believing his act
stood related to greed, oppression and
seldshness; to system Of government,
which would be an incarnation of a Plu-
tocratlc Monarchy, and in deadly open
opposition to Democratic Republic.
