SENATOR INGALLS, PUBLIC RECORD.
Continued from dnt pnneA

Mr.. Ingalls, Is I'm condition 30 be let alone An
att0mpt on Che part OF his friends to make an
ingalls, issue IN our state politics would meet
with marked failure. The ring Of politicians
who have championed Mr.. ingalls, ought not 10
require notice that they do not control the re-
publlcans Of Kansas. The plain truths, the elec-
tion was disgrace TO the republican party, and
10 Kansas M home and abroad
INGALLS, exhibition or HIMSELF, AFTER
SEVEN YEARS.
The Capital Of March A, thus speaks
Of the vindlcation() Of this man seven
years a senator;
The drunken spree nj AtchsOn 10 celebrate
the WndlcatiOn OF our Senator was a fitting nc.
compartment to the vulgar speech Of the poti-
cal demagogue whom the drunken crowd ap-
plauded II disappointed ward politician made
such a speech he would be denounced as an in
iudlcl0us fool, but coming from q United States
Senator representing an intelligent people II is
an outrage which nothing will Justify. The
speech lifts the mask from the statesman and
shows the narrow, petty demagogue who brazen-
ly proclaims his own purity while he besmirChes
the character Of mon In every respect his superl.
Ors. The Wt and keen sarcasm OF the Senator's
Atchlson speech would we'll become brothel In
a saloon, but offered 10 the state Of Kansas II In
suits common decency. DO Senator ingalls,
friends Justify this brutal, Inbred attack on men
like Horton, Guthrie, Anderson and others?
THE REMARKS AT THE FUNERAL
Under this heading the Capital gives
the following from Web Wilder on the
vindication spree:
ingalls, says he has been five times indicated;
first, when he bought his seat; second, when he
was investigated mt Topeka; third, when he was
investigated nc Washington; fourth, when II was
declared that his seat was obtained by bribery
and corruption, and hfth when the railroad
gave him free passes to bring a throng Of idle
lOOkers-on TO Atchison TO hear his last dying
words and confession. That is the Atchson
definition OF "vlndcated,' and Ave of them piled
on each other would kin the meanest wretch who
ever picked pocket or robbed grave.
WHERE'S THE REPUBLICAN, NEWSPAPER SAYS
HE Is vINDICATED9
Has the New York Times or Tribune said so?
Has the Boston Journal or TrdUeIer or AdUer-
ttser, published in his native state, declared that
ingalls, held his seat honOrably? Has any paper
in Chicago, Cincinnati or st. Louis Of any poll
tics, said or hinted that ingalls, was innocent,
that he had not bought his seat, that he was not
guilty Of corrGpton2 Not one. Andthere never
will be one. And yet the press is generous; the
American people do not wrongtully pursue an
innocent man. When they find that false charges
have been made, they rush TO the rescue Of the
person wrongly accused, and proudly and tri-
umphantly wash away the stain, placing them
higher in their confidence and honor than the
man who has gone through life bamelessly and
without reprOach.
Mr.. ingalls, is on one side, the people on the
other He declares his innocence spiteiully and
with tiresome relteraton. But nobody believes
him. Il Is one man against all his Countrymen.
We must change the proverb what one man says
must be true.
A MOST BEAUTIFUL PEN P1CTUREl
And thus the moral portraiture CON
tinues:
These bitter personalities in which the brlber
has indulgCd, will bring fruit after their kind.

times FOR farm, the unmarried citizen Of Sum-

the married man who stole an estate from a
widow; the Senator who appointed ConYicts 70
