This is the passage in the speech of Senator
Ingalls, that worries great many delicate peo-
pie:
As for myself would say that the nomination and
election of Grover Cleveland had made the preten-
sions of any American citizen to the presidency
spectacle. There is in this country whose
ignorance is profound. whose ohscurity impen-
etrabe, whose tents so degraded that he has
not the right to aspire the presidential nomination
by the Democratic party
The country owes thanks to Senator ingalls,
for speaking these plain words The Cleveland
falsehood and imposture has gone about far
enough, and has become nuisance and an inso-
lenee.
