Sir. Ingersol is young man, born IN Oneida Co,
New.Yors, ia 1881, but he has lived IL Illinois,
mostly in Saline Co., for TIE hast eighteen years.
His education is exclusively ", stern, aud this he
shows in his speeches, which remind one OF breaking
up with piarie plough. He is good specimen Of
rtump SPEAKER. and very popular. No one can
express stronger feeling for the Union, in the
West has been stronger Democrat. He will GER
tainly DO elected
Among tho resolutions was one recommending
