INGALLS, WOULDN'T BUY.
He Could Have Been Reelected if he
Had Taken Sam Woods Seventeen
Populists.
From the Washington Evening Star.

From the Washington Evening Star
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 26-The announce
ment of four candidates for the United
States Senate in the Republican party
has caused the friends of ex-senator John
j. Ingalls, to use his name as a probable
aspirant for the seat of Senator Martin.
The mention of Ingalls, name has revived
an old story connected with his downfall
in 1891. When Ingalls, chief manager,
State Senator Buchan, then chairman
of the state control committee, was max
ing heroic effort to re-elect ingalls,, the
greatest STUN bling block in his way was
lack OF seventeen votes. AS the story
runs, he sought out Sam Wood, the man
who terroriZed Southwestern Kansas for
years, and discussed the situation with
him. To re-eleCt Ingalls, it was necessary
to secure seventeen populist votes. Wood
being thrifty politician, said he would
look around and see what he could do.
After two days absence in the populist
camp, Wood returned and made his re
port TO Buchan He said he had looked
the ground Overland was able to state that
the seventeen populist votes could be had
for $4,000, $1,000 each. This was the
best he could do
Then it was that grave and solemn
conference of republican leaders was
held. Few knew of these negotiations,
and when Senator Buchan detailed the
story and told the assembled statesmen
that PROPOSITION had been made to Sena-
tor ingalls,, which would land him in the
Senate for six years more at the nominal
expense of only Sl7 900, and that he had
Indignantly declined to consider it, pail
fell over the crowd, and for a moment
there was a deathlike stiffness.
Several close friends of ingalls,, who
were present, did not believe Buchan, and
declared they would see the senator and
ascertain the facts. They went to his
rooms and laid the matter before him, but
he was firm and protested that he would
not pay dollar for a reelection. This
stopped the negotiations with Wood and
all hope of re-electing ingalls, was aban-
doned
