eraI News of Kansas.
Topeka, Kan, June 27.-(SpeciaL)-
The war between ingalls, and Burton
for the seat in the United States senate
from Kansas has begun. ingalls, is
not saying much, except that he would
like the members Of the legislature to
be instructed by a direct vote of the
people. However, Burton and his
friends appear to be spelling for row
with ingalls,. Burton speaks lightly OF
ingalls, and his candidacy on all occa-
sions. In an interview at Lawrence
some time ago he said that Ingalls,
would not be much to overcome. And
now the Abilene Reflector. Burton's or
igan, comes out in this fashion, 1t says:
Mr.. ingalls, sandwiches his pitiful pleas
and heartrendingw Orriment for his ''old
place" on which he seems TO think he
has mortgage with remarks TO the eff
feet that he wants the people to decide
between him and the others. Nothing
would give Mr.. Burton more pleasure
Congressman Curtis said in an inter-
view with Mckinley: ct now looks
as though we were 10 have too prom
inent candidates in the senatorial con-
test. One of them will be j. r. Burton,
who was candidate and who was de-
feated by combination when Senator
Baker was. and the other will be Mr..
ingalls," 1t being recognized that the
fight is coming between Ingalls, and
Burton and il viii be a fight that viii
make the ex-senator seek the glades Of
his boSky wood again and commune
with nature over another Waterloo.
Ingalls, is keeping a dignified silence
If necessary. he can give J. r. Burton
a skinning that the young man would
never forget.
WHAT CY LELAND WANTS.
The following special from this city
appears in the Emporia Gazette: The
latest bit of political gossip around the
Copeland is that Cyrus Leland. Jr.
chairman of the Kansas Republican
state central cOmmitte. has fixed him
self solid with the plug-hatted Mr.
Smith Of Ohio, who accompanied Nc
Kinley to Kansas this month. and also
last fail; and that as the result Of their
sohdity Leland is to have the portfolio
of the secretary of the interior, or agri-
culture. which ever is vacant, and that
Mr.. Leland is to deliver Kansas to Nc
klnley. It is a notable fact that the
men who are rolling this morsel under
their tongues this morning are the fell
lows who started out to deliver Kan
sdS 40 Il ON fetu. anu IDen started out
TO line up for Allison.
For some time ii has been known in
Kansas that Mr.. Leland did not want
any minor office under the state adj
ministration, and as early as last Dec
cember there was talk to the effect that
Leland's senatorial fight only meant
that he was to help name senator,
who would help him get into the cab
met That was probably truth All
prIn
Cy'-and there were at least half a
dozen, who were more or less leaky
for all his reputation as "old smoothie'
said that Leland's aim in life was to be
a member of the cabinet. 1t is not
likely that the story which is being
spread around today has any more
foundation than the old last falls story
Leland would doubtless like to go to
Washington as a cabinet officer, but
McKinley's pretty Mr.. Smith has no !
more to do with it than a satrap Of /
Persia. He is a frost anyway and :
queered himself, and came very near /
losing Kansas for the Republicans last /
fan. by wearing plug hat on the Nc !
kinley train.
