recognizen candidates for the senate in
the Republican party in the campaign of
1886 We lost the legislature, but in the
Republican caucus Burton easily defeated
ingalls, in receiving the caucus nominal

the latter, and in this L only reflected
the desire Of the Republicans Of Kansas,
for at no time during the balloting did
his vote exceed seven. and on the final bal
lot he received only three out of sixty
Republican votes.
''If you ask me what has been the great
obstacle of rebuilding the Republican
party in Kansas, my answer would be
Ingalls, But he is now politically dead,
and everybody knows it. He is like
venomous serpent that has received its
death wound, and hereafter there will
come from him only hiss now and then

in Kansas is rebuilt on solid founda-
ton. 1t is loyal TO Republican principles.
1t is in splendid fighting trim. It will
capture the state this fall and not lose
it again for a generation
