CIaYeInnd,s Firm Policy

KANSAS CITY, January 2S.-The following
letter written oy Senator Ingalls, of
Kansas, TO friend in this city W III De made
public tomorrow BY the Timesfo the first
time:
WASHINGTON, D. c., 3, 25, iS5.
Dear Mr.. Blank was glad to receive
yours of the 19.h. We are still waiting on
the President, who moves with great de-
liberation, listens to everybody and does
as be plesses. His principal nominations
so far have surprised Democrats as much as
R. publicans, but they are generally strong
men, whose selection will be approved
by the con seivstIve forces of the country.
He has DO Imagination or sentiment, and
his policy will not be sensational or start
ling. but il he keeps on az he has begun,
his administration will grow in popular
favor. lie is seli-possessed and confident,
AZ exhibi's DO perturbation or timidity.
Good hCmor prevails, though there is
much inaudible grumbling among Dam
ocrats at the delay in turning the rascsls
out" But il Cleveland can stand the
racket for the next twelve months, he will
bring bis party to its knees and become 9
strong leader. He has a great opportunity
aud evidently intends to improve it.
S'gned1 Yours, ]. J. INGALLS,.

Now for the compromise: If those believ-
ing all are innocent will consent 10 pro-
nounce two guilty, those who believe all
are guilty will consent TO say one Is not
guilty. A more infamous proceeding was
never beard of; more diabolical con-
spiracy was never formed. Again, in the
Jury room Republicans seemed to be in
collision with the Government officials.
They proposed to the Democratic jurors IL
they would consent to convict Matter, his
penalty would be simply a fire, and they,
the Republican jurors, would raise the
money themselves to pay the fine. They
said the Judge in Matters case would i'm
pose only light fine. And now for the
essential cussedness of the proceeding:
Every Juror had the impression that If
Judge Woods could get his Judicial
clutches on the indicted men, they would
simply be fined, and that no imprison-
ment would attach: and ore Juror who
voted for conviction finally said he never
would have cast his vote for conviction
if he had known that the convicted men
could be sent to the peniteniiarY.
The question arises, did the Government
officials have an understanding with the
Republican jurors in the matter of COM
promise verdict? Were Republican jurors
commissioned to assure Democrats that the
penalty was only TO be fine?
II is well understood that the orators Of
the jury were Republicans, and that they
used their opportunities TO convince Dem
ocra!s that Judge Woods would be lenlent
1t was the old song of the spider to he fly.
It was deception, falsehood, and it sue
ceeded, But when the facts are known,
can such a verdict stand2 Is il verdict
founded upon law, upon fac Is it not a
verdict brought about by fasshood, by
misrepre by totally ignoring the
law and the testimony?

Senator Frye Heard From.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 29.-[Special. !
Senator Frye, of Maine, has been heard
from. He is "downeaster" Republican
and wants high tariff tax, OF course. In
recent speech in the Senate. the Maine
statesman said: President Cleveland has
thrown down the gauntlet OF free trade
with thin veneer OF Disguise, but too thin
TO deceive" Certainly Senator Frye is not
deceived. The President wants lower tax
alton, which the Senator does not want
because the manufacturers Of the East have
grown rich off of the Western farmers by
the protection laws enacted by such as
Frye. Yes, President Cleveland has thrown
down the gauntlet to these fellows and
said to them in substance, "you must cease
robbing the people" There is no thin
veneer Of disguise IN this, and that IS what
troubler Senator Frye and the lssders OF
his rarity. ard it is what will defeat their
party in the coming Presidential election.

New York, January 27-The storm of
night before last and yesterday was most
severe in the Mohawk Valley. The New
York Central abandoned all its trains on
the Hudson river division at 6 o'clock last
night on account of the snow blockade.
The wind, which blew at sixty miles an
hour, swept the light snow across the
tracks in such quantities that resistance to
1t was useless. Tie snow was no sooner
cleared away BY gangs of laborers than it
covered the tracks sgain. There were
three passenger trains stalled in the snow
between Albany and New York. and fully
a score of freight trains. The company
announces that it will have the snow
blockade raised as soon as the high wind
subsidies, and it expects to start the
Chicago limited this morning as
usual at $3.50 o'clock, and other trains
thereafter as usual. The Chicago limited
express over the New York Central arrived
this morning thirteen hours late. The
Michigan Central, due at $3.50 last night,
had not arrived at noon, but was expected
soon. The St. Louis limited over the Ere
road reached Deposit at clock this morn
ing, and at noon was in a snow bank one
mile east OF that point. The Erie officials
refuse information in regard to the condi-
ton of the road. A milk famine is threat
ened. The milk trains over many Of the
roads are buried in snow drifts with the
contents OF the cans frozen solid. Sixty
cars loaded with milk are showed in near
