answer our question--What has SEN
ator Ingalls, done for the people OF
Kansas7 The very first statement
made by the Ne,gs, though not at all
relevant TO the question, is an absolute
falshood told for eifOCt. II is that
the management Of THE ADVOCATE is
of Union Labor persuasion, and con
sequently not very heartily in sympa-
thy with any Of the leaders Of the
Republican party"
The editor of THE ADVOCATE has
been republican all his life, and has
never voted any other ticket up to
this date We ore not opposed TO re-
publican leaders who have shown any
disposition TO do anything for the in
forests of their constituents. We do
not regard Mr. Ingalls, as one OF that
class Of leaders. We cannot do better
than give the answer Of the News en-
tire.
He has, from the beginning Of hs public career,
supported an the measures which are now being
demanded for the relief OF the labor and business
Of the country.
lie was for silver coinage In the contest for r.
mOnetlZAtlOn In 1879 and made speech In that
year which is good reading now
In the matter OF cheap transportation no was
one Of the earliest and most active advocates OF
the plan Of Capt Eads for opening the mouth Of
the Mississippi river and has champlOned oil
propositions for aHOrdlng water competition 10
prevent extOrtlonate charges by railroads. He
has uniformly favored the increase OF our clrcu-
latng medium, and Is committed 10 the free
coinage OF silver.
lie had MS much as any man In the country 10
do with the passage Of the Arrears Of Pension
act, which resulted In the payment OF more mon
ey 10 the soldiers Of Kansas than any other stat
ute Of the century. II can be confidently asserted
and established that he has omitted no effort TO
protect the material interests and welfare OF the
state, while attempting also 10 give voice to the
conscience and convictions OF its people.
Could any new man do as much for his constlt-
uents as Senator INGALLS, COuld2
Are there any measures agreed upon by the
Republican members OF the Alliance Of Kansas
that Senator INGALLS, Is not heartily In favor Of?
Does the advocate expect Senator INGALLS, 10
endorse all the wild yagaries that have been ad-
vanced the past few years by the Greenback,
Union Labor and Democrat Partles2
Certainly not.
Does the AdrOcdtC expect a man 70 be sent 10
the United States senate from Kansas who will
endorse such theorles2
The demand made by the Republican members
Of the alliance Senator INGALLS, should and will
heed, and no man in the United States can come
nearer accomplishing the end desired.
Concerning this answer we have
neither time or space for extended
notice this week, and shall refer TO it
again hereafter One feature OF the
answer however we desire to notice
particularly at this time, and that is
the statement that q demand made
by the republican members Of the al
lance, Senator ingalls, should and
will heed.
We desire to observe in answer to
this:
lst Although Mr.. Ingalls, was un-
doubtedly sent to the senate by the
republican party, he was sent there
not to represent the interests Of that
party but Of the whole people.
End. The republican members Of
the Alliance will never seperate them
