That speech routed the opponents Of free Sil-
YER. 1t carried the day.
The Capital was then giving taffy
to an Alliance House of Represents
tives and bidding for votes for In
gals. Now, in utter contempt OF 'the
vengence Of the masses of the people
whose daily toll is the supreme hope
of the nation" and in complete sub
perviency to that "wOuld be sristoc-
racy OF wealth." 1t is exerting it's I uuy
Influence against the free coinage OF
silver.
On January q, 1891, again pre-
senting reasons Why MIR. Ing lis
should be re elected, the Capital
says:
The speech Of Senator Ingalls, should rest upon
Its merits. IT was splendid presenta'lOn Of
western sentiment upon the rObberleS Of mill
lOIalre speCu atOrs, and the necesSi for the
free coinage OF silver Whatever Of party malice
may be exhibited against Senator Ingalls during
the next few days, his most unchalllSble enc
mica must cOnfes that he represents the WishrS,
feelings and convictions Of large maj rity Of q
people Of Kansas 10 the questions discussed In
hl' great speech.
In an editorial in the issue of Feb
ruary Is, 1891, we find the following:
The current Of events appears TO be plainly IN
the direction Of Blaine for '02; AID It now Az
pears that thu Coz test will b. repetition Of 1884
50 far as concerns the candidates, the R-puOll-
cans on platform Of silver, while the Democracy
stands upon Growers ground Of gold and free
trade. II this IL to be the nature Of the battle,
Republicans Of the west will go Into the cam
palgn full of enthusiasm and cOLhd"nt Of victory
If the present attitude OF the CGpt
tal toward the doctrine Of free coin
age is any indication Of the future
policy Of the Republican party, this
is not to be the mature Of the battle, "
for both parties are on Growers gold
basis.
The Republican party of Kansas,
mp to a recent date, hat, however, been
committed to the doctrine of free coin
age. On January 28tb, 1891, the Re-
publican Senate adopted the follow
ing resolution by q vote Of "a yeas to
3 nays:
Whereas, The recent action Of the Senate Of
tue United states ln p omptly passing the free
