ingalls, On Martin.

In8diS vi MdTtins
Some one said that Ingalls, was not
giving Martin that hearty support
which was expected of him. Ii was
the usual Democratic campaign lie,
unworthy of notice. AT the grand
demonstration at Topeka night before
last, when Martin, Ingalls,, and many
Others made brief speeches, Mr.. In
gals said. on opening his speech, that
he was present by invitation of the
Blaine and Logan club to advocate the
election of James q. Blaine and John
A Logan. He was present TO advo-
cate the election of John A. Martin
and all his associates on the Republi-
can ticket. He had knewn Col. John
A. Martin ever since he WAS briefiess
barrister in little frontier, border
rufiian town, and knew him to be one
of the best men in the state. The
speaker alluded TO Mr.. Martins public
and war records, and paid him very
high tribute.
Then he went into the discussion of
national politics by saying: "You
have large number Of presidential
candidates 10 vote for" running down
from James e.. Blaine to Mrs. Belva
Lockwood. "Among them all the
Democrats have nominated as their
candidate man without record,
or at least man who they
supposed had no record. The Senator
made a reply 10 the speech of Ben But
Ter, made here Wednesday, and that he
did Mr.. Butler up neatly was evidence
ed by the expressions of accord given
by Nj. ingalls, hearers.
There is some little difference between
the Republican and Democratic par
ties on every question affecting the
honor, welfare and prosperity of this
country. The Republicans have been
always right and the Democratic par
ty always wrong. and whenever the
Democratic party advocates anything
Opposeit. The worst Republicanev-
err lived is better than the best Demo-
crat that ever breathed. That is po-
litically. When anybody makes ref
erence to the history of the Democrat
ic party they all get up an howl about
being abused. The worst you can say
of man is to call him Democrat.
No sensible man believes that any,
body will be elected president except
Blaine or Cleveland. All the other
parties are merely Democratic side
shows. Not all under one tent, but
single ticket admits to the entire per-
formance, with the concert thrown in,
and that will be the grandest concert
you ever saw. After 10 O'Clock on the
4th of next November there will not
be a Democrat out doors. The exist
ing administration needs no eulogv.
paign is concerned it is not quite so
defensive "a when Mr.. Blaine was
nominated. All those fellows who
wear pointed SHOES, carry a poodle
and blew their horns when Blaine was
nominated, SO loudly about purely
moral campaign, have certainly learn
ed by this time that their observations
were not convincing.
The speaker referred ut considcra-
BILE length to the honored, brilliant
and noble career of James G.. Blaine.
After the moral platform was abau-
doned and we were told that personal
matters had better be left out of the
campaign, we were informed by
these boilers that were TO
have a very dangerous SEN
sational aud theatrical almistratIou.
The policy of the Republican
party is not continental. IL is hemi-
spherical. And | propose as one TO
tell Great Britain to keep her hands |
of this continent, for it belongs to |
this country. We need not be a
harmed about the policy of James G..
Blaine. lie il an American. 1t is |
probable that Blaine cannot carry |
Great Britain. We will probably
have to yield England, France and
Germany to Cleveland. Blaine can't |
get the votes of those men who part |
their hair in the middle, and cut their |
horses tails of square. in apish aris-
tocracy to their British friends. |
But when we elect James G.. |
Blaine president we will make
Queen Victoria and old Bismarck eat |
American pork and Yankee beans.
The senator sand he would like to
make few observations relative to
some of the political conditions OF this
country but he was afraid that if he did
so his Democratic friends would accuse
him of waving the sanguinary under
garment, and he didn't want to do
that. He read few extracts from
southern Democratic papers to show
the condition of things down in that
country. When we elect Blaine and
Logan we will stop this thing.
The senator congratulated the Irish
American Blaine and Logan club on
their demonstration.
