asked for the Presidents reasons for
suspending any one, or that private pa
pers had been asked for. The Senate,
since January 18th, 1886, had confirmed
493 nominations.
1t had again been charged that the
Senate was trying TO keep Republicans
in office. The Republicans OF Kansas,
Mr.. ingalls, said, we're 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 i'll the last quarter of
the century they were right and their
opponents wrong, and they were able
to give 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

tons, or FORGETTING his self-respect Ac-

there was any genuine civil service re-

the Democracy, history did not record
his name. (LaIghter.)
The neuter gender, Mr.. ingalls,
said, was not popular either in
nature or in science = male

was third sex, if that could "sex" be
called which sex had none-resulting

hgure to fact, he continued, this
third party had distinguished itself by
singing in falSetto phrases of civil SER
vice reform and had been selected as
the guardian of the conscience of the
national government. He was not here
to impugn the good faith, patriotism,
or the many extraordinary qualities of
the President of the United States. The
President was the sphinx of American
politics. 1t was said that he. was
fatalist and that he regarded himself as
the child of destiny; that he placed
1evout and implicit reliance upon the
guiding influence of his star. Certainly,
whether Grover Cleveland was a very
great, or very small man, he was
