Instead OF remaining ia Kansas foi
tvo weeks, MIR Ingalls, will stay uun
after United States senator has been
elected He engaged a suite of rooms a.
the Copeland this morning until after
the Legislature adjourns. The hotel is
directly opposite the Repub lean head
quarters. Nearly all the Senator friends
Will be conxregated there. Senator Blu
chanan, who Is managing Senator IN
gals campaign, devlIuei to be inter
viewed to-day further than 10 declare
thar there wes BOW IL doubt thai Mr.
ingalls, would be his own successor. As
Il matter OF fact, however, the report
which the Kansas delegation brought
has intensified the opposition 10 Senator
ingalls, and his defeat now seems ab9o-
iuteiy certain. The elec ION OF lrby IN
South Carolina has furnished the peo-
ple's parry with an argument TO prove
that the Alliance is not 2 Democratic
scheme and 1t is being used eff -ctIFely.
With the full Rspubllcan vote Senator
Ilgalls will be eighteen short Of 8 ma
jOIlty on joint ballot, and to be eli c ed
he must by some means get that NUM-
Der of Democrats and Alliance men to
come to his support
But he will not have the entire Repub
l!cap strength to help him. There are
st least five Republican Senators who
lave announced themselves opposed to
him, and enc OF that number mas come
ont fat-footed for the Alliance. Oae
Republican mem ber-elect of the House
has a grievance against Ingalls,, because
the iLtiuence OF one or two Government
officers, who secured their positions
through Ingalls,, worked against him at
the polls and he holds Ingalls, personally
responsible for 1t and will vote against
him This reduces Senator lnga.ls's Re
pub lean strength to 80, when S3 are
necessary 10 his election.
With all these overw helming odds con-
from ting them the Ingalls, men claim
to bs confident of success. They say
there is no reason why Alliance Repub-
licans should not support their candi
date. There are over thirty of them
who have been life long Republicans
and who were not instructed by the con
ventions which nominated them to op-
pose or support any particular candidate
for the Senate. 1t is from this portion
Of tho opposition that Ingalls, expects to
gain the recruits necessary to him.
There is but little doubt that John +.
Willis, late candidate for Governor, is
the strongest Alliance Senatorial posi-
bllity aud his friends claim that his fol-
lowing is sufficient to give him a clear
majority against all opponents III party
caucus He is now in the city and Will
r, hi s,n hera until the close of the cam
palen, when b will begin active work -
National Lecturer Of the Farmers Ali
ance. to which position he was elected
by the Ocala Convention. Should he
realize his Senatorial aspirations he wlll
continue to act as lecturer until his term
xpires, which will be next Decem Der.
2. P. Elder, who is the only \ ilaUcr
member of the Legislature whose iegIs-
>tlve experience its hlm for the poSltIon
is Gevelopicg considerable strength for
Unite. 5 t5es senator Next to SIR
Nllllts aud Judge v. a Z, fer he Is
the most Formidable Peoples party can
!idate. He would be more acceptable
to the Republicans than any other can
didate meutlol ed, and he counts on Re-
publican aid when it becomes apparent
that Senator Ingalls, has no chance of
success.
Judge PETER has in he last few weeks
been losing ground. His huaucia! ideas,
expressed in bis book entitled TIE Way
Out have been the 7uoject Of great
deal of criticism by A lance papers, and
have brought about much opposition to
him. b. sides this the ou-laes~ manager
of his paper holds a Government posi-
tion given him by Republican Admin
stration, and his partner, * Gov ). J
Crawford, is the ageut Of the state en-
gagged in looking after the claims of
Kansas in Washington, for which he Is
also under obligations 10 the Republican
party. These facts have a tendency 10
weaken the Judge with the Alliance.
Within the last ten days "a Senatorial
boom has been started for Jerry Simp-
son, Congressman elect from the Seventh
District, which threatens to grow to for
midable proportions. The branch ALI
auces in his district have taken him up
as their candidate and with great una
nimity are adopting resolutions demand
ing his election. In the meantime Jrr-
ry is not bothering about politics. but
is enjoying himself in the south, where
he is taking rest after his recent ardu-
Gus campaign. Should his candidacy
be pushed his great personal popularity
in the Third and Sixth Districts Will ma
terially aid him
OPPOSED TO CLOTURE.
