At the session yesterday morning the
| following resolutions were adopted by
a rising unanimous vote:
Whereas, During the past twelve years
John j. ingalls, has been the willing, faith
| full servant and tool of the Eastern monopo-
| lists and plutocrats, and during those years
| his voice has not once been heard in defense
| of the Industrial classes of this county or
| his constituents in Kansas; and
Whereas, On January 13, 1891, in his Senate
speech he made an attack upon his monopo-
| listic masters and seems to have had mirac
ulous conversion and awakening and can
| now tell portion of the truth about the con-
| diton of the laboring and producing classes
| of this country; therefore be it
| Resolved, by the National Citizens Indus
| trial Alliance, in convention assembled,
| That we rejoice that the said John j. ingalls,
| is soon to be retired from the Senate of the
| United States; that he will have a time to se
| pent of his treason in the betrayal of the
| trusts reposed in him by the people of the
| State of Kansas during the past twelve years.
| That we believe in the honor and integrity
| Of the present Legislature of the State of
| Kansas, belonging to the Peoples party, and
| that all the wealth of said Ingalls, Jewish
masters can not purchase his re election,
| and that the said members retire this po
| litcal chameleon to the shades of political
| hades; for recognizing the wrongs that have
| been heaped upon us by class legislation, no
repentance now can atone for twelve years
of political treason of said Ingalls,, because
| in the agonies of his political death he has
| unconsciously told the trSth.
| That we denounce the plutonic hirelings
| known as Pinkerton police, and demand of
| our present Legislature laws that will abso-
| lutely exclude them from our State, and pro-
viding that any corporations bringing any
| body of armed men W thin this State for the
protection of private or corporate property,
shall forfeit its charter by said act.
That a National conference of reformers
be held at Cincinnati between May 10 and 20,
| 1891
The convention elected delegation
composed of twenty-five persons, con-
sisting of Mrs. Diggs as chairman, Mrs.
| Crumb, Mrs. Lease, the National Off
GERS and other members to attend the
conference above referred to.
A meeting was held in the afternoon
| to confer the secret work upon men,
bers who were not present when the
same was conferred. The National
Assembly then adjourned to meet on
the first Tuesday in January, 1892, at a
place to be designated by the National
