1t had again been charged that the
Senate was trying TO keep Republicans
in office. The Republicans OF Kansas,
Mr.. ingalls, said, were neither afraid nor
ashamed to be classed as Republicans.
They were proud of the achieveme It's of
their party. They believed that i'll all
great measures in the last quarter of
the century they were right and their
opponents wrong, and they were able
to give a reason for the faith that was in
them. The Republicans of Kansas also
believed said Mr.. ingalls,, that no Re
publican could hold public office
under a Democratic administration
without either sacrificing his conVic-
tons, or FORGETTING his self-respect. Ac-
cordlngly, when the new admins
tratlOn was inaugurated, those who
ned Office in that state began
to make excuses for retiring to
those who believed in non-partisan-
ship in politics. After election the
Democrats expected to get in and the

President was the sphinx of American
politics. 1t was said that he. was a
fatalist and that he regarded himself as
the child of destiny; that he placed

guiding influence of his star. Certainly,
whether Grover Cleveland was a very |
