INGALLS' SOMERSAULTS.
Ex-Senator Ingalls is a brainy and able man but has never given the people's side on questions affecting corporations or capital the attention they are entitled to. His summer-saults over onto the Alliance side after his defeat by the Alliance are ridiculous. He was either right or wrong. He could not be both very well.
The Washington Independent sizes up the ex-senator about right when it says that he is a sample of the politician that has been a curse to this country. The revolt of last fall in Kansas is evidence the people have lost faith in the bosses. The speeches of Ingalls now show he has all his lifetime in a public capacity been misleading the masses of the people and doing the bidding of the corporations, trusts and other money combines. Had the gentleman been an honest man and led the people from under the yoke of bondage, he could today be warming a seat in the senate. He is shedding penitent tears, but the people will trust him never more.
