IngevsoIl's Complaint.

Colonel Bob Ingersoll said In New
York on Monday last Politics have
little interest for me now. Once In
four years like 70 take small hand but
after that and between the fights l am
content to let things drift. Everything
IL being done 10 divide, distract and
destroy tho Republican party. The
struggle for offic is 80 severe that prin-
ciples are almost forgotten. The
available candidates are being destroy.
ed by their small rivals. All the can.
didates are attacked by a virulence
that Ia upaccountable and appalling.
How can the men who have made such
charges support the man they have
attacked, If he happens to be nomina-
ted?
The great question Ia, who can carry
New York, and everything is being
done to make 1t impossible fol
any Repu blican 70 accomplish that.
The politicians act as though
Republican success was an as.
sured fact. The truth is we will need
the vote of every Republican. We are
divided, filled with the spirit Of faction,
attacking each other, furnishing food
for the Democratic campaign, taking
great pains to prove that all of our can.
didates are unfit for the Office they seek.
We must learn to think more of priDci-
Piles than persons, more OF the success
of the party than any man in the par
ty."
How do you account, Colonel, for
this state Of things ?"
The party has held power for a
long time there are many parties with.
in the party. Too many men imagine
they have been foreordained Presidents ;
too many short men want an office to
stand on, and all the tn Il men have too
many enemies. There IL no great ques-
tion now before the people. In times
of trouble the best men get to the front ;
when the trouble is over little fellows
press toward.
"If things go on as they are going
the Democratic papers during the cam
paign will be filled with extracts from
Republican organs, and that will b oil
the thunder they need"
