Of him in the following language; ut

IngerSoll would be present during the

devoted to campaign purposes. Uponlhe
strength oi these representations several
Liberals Of this city secured subscriptions
amounting to $2I0, which amount was
used In paying the rent Of the hall, and
the balance was used for advertising pur.
poses. This money was used with tie
understanding that the entire proceeds OF
the congress, including the Sunday even

treasury oil the American Secular Union"
The paper then charges that this course

poCketed the proceeds Of his Sunday even.

ave deeply regret that Mr.. Ingeraoll's
cupidity should lead him TO adopt course
which giyea color TO the ott.repeated
charge that he is interested In Liberalism

the National Liberal League his services

Il bs possible to find q precedent for
pocketing the proceeds Of lecture given
at a regular convention and being q part
Of said convention. Certainly Mr.. 1nger.
soil did not expect that the Liberals OF
Cleveland were readyto pay the expenses
OF ball rent, advertising, &C., solely Tor his
benefit. As matters were conducted the
efforts and money Of the Liberals OF this
city went only 10 enrich Mr.. Ingersoll.
We, as individuals and Liberals, are sorry
that the porcine proclivitles Of any man,
more especially our talented President,
should have thwarted our honest en-
deavors. II Is now In order To hear from
