HOW He WAS FIRST ELECTED

John J. ingalls, is making the fight of
his life to get back to the United States
senate. There is fair chance that he
will succeed. If he does 30 he will be a
greater man than ever in the eyes of the
American people. He has been taught n
lesson by his defeat. He has had chanc
to study himself and his possibilities
and il he is returned he will play Ingalls,
and 1ngallsism for all il is worth. He
has given up all desire for the promin-
ence which blinded him when he vas

his place on the 70 ors one Of the bright

Senator ingalls,, in speaking of his re-
grets at being out OF the senate lately
said, Whom the Lord loveth He chas-
teneth.' There was more satire than
meekness in the remark, and when he
comes back to the United States senate
1t will be with his knife out and with
desire for the blood of his enemies. He
has received but little charity from his
fsllow senators, and especially from thosa
on the other side of the house, He will
settle many an old score when be returns

has always courted trouble III the United

the bitter battle which he waRed with

charged Brown with mutiiating the Con-
gressional Record. and Brown, after a
vehomous spe eoh. had intimated that
ingalls, would not have dared to make
such remarks about him outside OF the

piled that Brown could take his re M arks
