In fact, he offered, the other day, to make

The Colonel also corrects the report Of

creditors, under the law rs it now stands:

creditors, purchasing at his store, asked IA

that he had lost 50 much money by him, the

Cleveland was an Ohio stage driver by the
name of Charles Metz, who having graduated
with high honor from the peniteniiary OF

the more euplionious and distinguished al-
,eIlation OF .erpseland.' He was picturesque

Senator Ingalls, speech.


The splendid speech of Senator Ingalls, At
Osawatomie on Thursday, deserves to rank
with the best efforts ever made in Kansas.
The theme and the occasion were in the high
est degree inspiring, and the Senator grasp
ed them with a master hand. His address
is written in elegant style, Astounding in elo-
quent and poetic passages. and made spe-
ciallv brilliant here and there with those
keen thrusts of wit and sarcasm for which
he is motel No one who heard or read it
could fail to Ne deeply impressed by its
force and fire and singular beauty
That portion of the address which deals
directly with John Brown and his work is
Xstatesmanlike contrast of the rival sys-
tens of civilization which contended so long
and fiercely for the control Of the govern
ment; and the old hero of Osaw atomie is
accorded that place in the economy Of the
great change from slavery to freedom which
his labors made Justly his due, and which
his history will not fail to give him in the
coming years. 1t was peculiarly fortunate
that the selection Of an orator for an Occa-
sion so rich in meaning TO Kansas and the
nation fell upon a man SO thoroughly fitted
Dy education, instinct and experience to
make il memorable.
That which will attract the readIest at
tention, however, is the senator's eloquent
and caustic review of our contemporary
politics; and it is proper that his meaning
in this respect shall not be misunderstood
or misinterpreted. Although opposed to
the presidents southern policy and believ-
ing il to be fraught with evil both to the par
ty and to the country, it does not follow
