The Results at St. LOWiS.

The Democratic national convention at
st. Louis was a notable gathering. In the
character Of It's composition and the spirit
which animated it the assemblage was far
above any held by the party since the
war, while the hearty and enthusiastic
unanimity with which the head Of the
ticket was chosen Is almost without pre-
cedent in the whole history of the organ
ization. extending over a period Of one
hundred wears. This latter feature COW
ere a profoundly significant fact. The
man thus honored is not a great military
chiehain, like jackson, appealing power
fully by his exploits to the heroic instincts
of men. nor vet a brilliant and magnetic
political leader, drawing to himself an
admiring and enthusiastic following by
the mere force of his personality. He Is
only a plain, straightforward, honest, out
spoken. fearless man, who has had the
courage Of strong convictions and the
strength to give them force And, look
at ii how one will, there is no escape from
the conclusion that a simple devotion to
duty. a conscientious execution of the
trust reposed in him by The people and
a watchful care against encroachmenis
upon their rights were the prime elements
that led up to the extraordinary speeta-
Gle of Wednesday noon. One cannot
consider it an without feeling more than
ever assured that a government of the
people viii not perish from the earth.
1t teaches a wholesome lesson. From
this time forth let it not be said that sub
terfuee and double-dealing are greater
forces in politics than honesty and plain
speaking. When such traits of official
character are being worthily recognized,
the nomination of honest old Allen G..
Thurman. who had been heretofore all
most too honest for reception of much
honor at the hands of his party, comes
in perfect harmony with the occasion-a
picturesque feature that viii appeal
powerfully to the rank and file of the

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-05-17
Ingalls, Lame Apology.

Senator Ingalls, made a bad case worse by his speech. His diatribe against Nc Clellan was venomous array of histori- cal falsehoods which have long since been discredited and denounced, even by those who, through transformation and preju- dice, at one time credited them. His statements about the disastrous Centre vile campaign rest on the case against Fitz John Porter, and the country and the world have long since accepted the delib- crate retraction and vindication of Grant as decisive in that matter.
 The ultra partisan orator charges that Mcclellan, while leading the Army of the Potomac in many glorious and bloody bat ties, was not fully and actively in sym pathy with the forces, the ideas and sen timents which were then controlling the American people," By the opinions of the American people we presume the senator means the prejudices and spites of cer- tain militia judge advocate in the safe half of Kansas.
 But even the bitterness and malice of Ingalls, fail to conceal tone of apology and defense in his discussion of the careers of Mcclellan and Hancock. which amounts as nearly to retraction of his first in famous speech as can be expected from so vindictive partisan; and not even the strongest efforts of one tainted with the fatal virus of an ambition for the presi- dential nomination" can conceal the fact that Ingalls, stands in no other attitude than that of convicted and self confessed slanderer of the country's most glorious dead New York Star.
