Ingalls Serves Notice on Democratic Officeholders in Kansas.
ATCHISON, KAN., November 17.—In a public utterance Thursday night United States Senator John J. Ingalls electrified his Republican hearers and dismayed Democratic Federal officeholders by the following declaration:
"If I could have my way, on the 4th of next March I would remove every mother's son of them. That is my idea of advanced, refined civil service reform. I give notice now to the Democratic officeholders of Kansas that, if my will shall prevail, not to stand on the order of their going, but go at once."
In the same connection he uttered the challenge that if the Democratic party has a worse opinion of him than he had of the Democratic party, then God help the Democratic party. Referring to pensions, the Senator said he was in favor of placing every soldier who had fought for the American flag, either in the war for the Union or in the Mexican war, on the pension list.
