INGALLS, AND SHERMAN.
How the KANSAS senator waited For
Two Years 60 Get Even

In the course d his memoirs OF de-
parted statesmen Senator Vest tells OF
a sharp passage between Senator John
j. luSalls and Senator John sherman
ingalls, had reported from the pen
sions committee a bill granting pen
sion to all who bad served thirty days
I'm the Federal army. He stated that
the bill had been unanimously Endorsed
10y the Republican national convention
he moved an immediate consideration
and resumed his seat The Democrat
L. senators felt much delicacy in CD
posing any pensions proposed by the
Republicans" says Senator Vest. "and
they knew that any opposition on their
part would be quoted as evidence of
their hostility TO Union soldiers. There
WAS profound silence for a moment.
AMI Senator Sherman then addressed
the chair. stating that the time had not
yet come for service pensions to the
soldiers OF the last war. He stated that
no convention, national or state. had
tie right to instruct him as 70 his SEN
atorial duty. and he objected to the
present consideration Of the bill. The
measure went to the calendar and died
there. while the crowd Of pension at
torncys who had originated the scheme
formed sad procession as they filed
out OF the galleries, uttering fierce
anaihemas against the Ohio senator.
Senator Vest declares that ingalls,.
who never forgot nor forgave. nursed
his wrath and two years afterward had
his revenge when Sherman appeared
before the District of Columbia com
mittee. OF which Ingalls, was chairman
ana advocated an appropriation bill.
providing for the extension Of Four
teenth street TO Columbia heights.
where sherman was large owner OF
real estate. Senator Sherman i'm ur.,
ing the bill said that Washington
should be made the most beautiful cap
ital in the world and should have.

But after this telling shot the Kan
sas senator voted for the measure.
