Let all citizens Of Kansas and Of
the nation notice the following from
Senator Elliston:
sixth-Then, the attempt 10 subyert the whole
party 10 the promotion Of the interests Of

and TO 30 shape AFFAIRS that party success meant
inevitable disaster 10 more than 800 men who
had equal right 10 aspire, and who have each
state given greater promise Of ability 10 serve tho

time Of his irs election, thereby creating dlssen.

needed, has always seemed course OF unequalled
folly 10 was not enough that he should be the

THE ADVOCATE would commend to
the close observation Of the great In
gals striker IN southwest Kansas,
Ralph M. Easley, Of the Hutchinson
Neros, the foregoing, and also the
following from the Emporia RepWbH-
can:
The Senator chosen must possess the necessary
qualifications 10 command respect and exert In.
duence. There are plenty Of such men In the
state. The claim that Mr.. Ingalls, is the only
man Kansas has who can capaby represent her
In tho Senate Is palpably false one II Is slur
which no Kansas man should DO willing 10 put
upon his state.
The Washington Republican has
the following:
AtChIsOn is the home OF Hon John j. Ingalls,,
and there, II anywhere, he should have his
friends. In looking that city over we hnd his
strongest friends among those men who claim 10
be independent democrats The republicans
seem 10 be rather glad that ingalls, ls beaten for
Senator but these independent democrats -
who seem 10 feel as though they had lost a
chance 40 the millions OF Doodle which was ready
FOR ingalls, In case OF close election, act as
though they felt the loss OF an opportunity
which they have waited twenty years for. They
need not wOrry-Mr Ingalls, Is only asking the
republicans Of Kansas TO ''vlndicate" him by
giving him unanimous caucus nomination, and
we can assure him IL will cost him more 10 get
Hndlcated than Il cost him to be elected In ls7O
and the corporations do not put up for vindlca-
tlOns," what they want are elections. Further
talk shows that the best republicans In Atchlson
are dlsgust9d with Ingalls, because he reserves
10 himself the honor Of being the only repubn
can In Kansas worthy OF consideration, II any
other man wants place no has to get the ad-
vice and consent Of Ingalls, and his consent is
never obtained, Mr.. Ingalls, not only wants TO
hold OfIlce but no objects TO any other repubh-
can holding an office that can be charged TO his
locality-lt Is glory enough for an AtchisOn re-
publican TO be known rs a man who lives In the
same town with the utriOllc Senator.
The Ingalls, nxers are left They have no
chance 10 win his aheCkels. lie is a political
dead duck In the pit and he can now save his
money TO pay old debts to Mother ISaacs and
the rest Of his friends OF twenty years ago,
Let Ralph notice the foregoing, and
also the following from the Valley
Falls Farmers ViNdicator:
The Capital and some other ultra republican
papers seem greatly torn up over the uttersnces
Of q few alliance papers which warn the alliance
members against voting for ingalls,. The Capital
tries to intimate that the representatives are 10
use their individual preferences I'm this matter
