Colonel Inaersoli on the Democrats.

Colonel X. G.. IngersolI has addressed the
following letter to the editor of the Peoria
Transcript:
As great deal has been said concerning
few gentle remarks that l made before
the county convention the other day. and
great de@6lnOre about remarks that never
made, think it right for me to tell what
did cay:
First did say that the worst ward in
New York, the ward in which there ia the
most ignorance, the most crime, the most
vice and the most lice, would give the
largest Democratic majority.
Second did say, speaking Of General
Grant, that he had done more than any
other man, probably, to save the nation;
that l could not forget that at Donelson
the eagle circled up the bluffs to victory for
dirty lousy Democrat or rebel SANDER and
curse him, that felt outraged
Third did say that this was q time of
general suspiciOn-that everybody sus.
pected verybOdy. That if an ofice-holder
had decent suit of clothes he was charged
with stealing them, aud that lazy loafers
would sit on the corners with faces that
had not been washed for year and de-
nOunce every man with clean shirt "as a
thief"
Upon the subject of shirts, dirt and YER
min l made no other observations.
What did say is bad enough and true
enough without any addition whatever; but
bad as it island true as it is, am willing
to, and do, stand by every word.
do say that the worst wards, the worst
cities, the worst States are the Democratic
wards, the Democratic cities and the Demo-
cratic States. l do say that the Hamburg
murderers are supporters of Tilden and
hendricks. l do say that the haters of
ll6erty-the assassins of colored men,
women and children-the masked wretches
who ride to the hut of the freedman and
shoot him down like beast, disregarding
the prayers and tears of wife and children,
90 say that these men are not for Hayes
l do say that the real friends of liberty
are the only friends of labor, and that those
VINO vote tor Hayes and Wheeler are the
best friends of liberty, labor and love.
write this for one reason, and for one
reason only. am unwilling that any one
should believe that 1 Judge men by their
condition or position, instead of by their
heads and hearts.

the Chicago Times, says:
Hardly day now passes but brings come
eloquent reminder Of the terrible disaster
to General Clusters command. The steamer
Durfee, which passed down the river sew
eral days since, had on board horse which
was suffering from severe bullet wounds re-
ceived in that last charge 1t was owned by
Captain KeOgh, of the Seventh Cavalry,
who was killed at the Little Big Horn, and
is named Comanche. 1t is presumed that
after the death of Keogh it broke through
the Indian lines, as 1t afterward Joined
Reno's command. When discovered it car
ried seven bullets, which were extracted.
and it was determined to save it's life. 1t
was accordingly shipped down the river.
and is now comfortably 9uartered at Fort
Abraham Lincoln. Today it is the only
living thing to remind one of that awful
carnage. Comanche is an old soldier, hav-
ing carried the dead Keogh through num-
Der of battles during the rebellion, and his
honorable wounds should require that he
be placed on the retired list with full pay.
