The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1888-05-04

| Heelth--who said 10 him that he had
been dead a year and wac only walking
around TO save funeral expenses. The
only criticism of his (Voorhees) speech
| which he had seen In the press wa that
he hal galvanized a corpse. He diseisim-
| cd any purpose of that kind. He had
made no attack on him, but upon the re-
publican party. He proceeded to com
pare Mr.. Ingalls, to a peacock on a barn
| yard fence posing of a summer morning
looking at his own features as they glanC-
ed in the sun and vCCalizing the whole
| neighborhood with his harsh, unmusical
and unmeaning cry unmindful OF the
fact that there were more useful fowls in
the baTnyard.
Mr.. Voorhees, alluded in a sarcastic and
amusing manner to Mr.. Ingalls, war rec
ord and said he would stand with the
senator before the soldiers of Indiana or
Kansas and quit the senate if he was not
approved by them over Mr.. ingalls,.
Mr.. Ingalls, replied, giving his idea of
what the senator's record and history was.
He said ne ventured the affirmation that
whatever might have been his own (In-
CALLS relations to the great struggle be-
tween the north and the south, the senator
from Indiana had been from the outset
a determined, ]outspoken, positive and ma
lignant enemy of the union cause.
! pronounce that, said Mr. Voorhees,, ris-
ing with anger in his eyes, to be a
deliberately false accusation. l voted for
every dollar that paid the soldiers, for
every stitch Of clothes he wore and for
every pension bill that rewards his ser
vices. The senator's insinuation that he
Woorhees) had ever been a member of q
political secret soCiety-the Knights Of
the Golden Circle-was so base and infa-
mOusly false that he did not know how to
choose language to denOunCe it as such.
Ingalls,, continuing, said Voorhees, said
that the charge that he had called the
union soldiers hirelings and Lincoln dogs
and said that they had better go to a
blacksmith shop and have an iron collar
around their neCks with the inscription,
MY dogs-Abraham Lincoln" was a
campaign SANDER and q scandal that had
been spit upon. That averment could
be substantiated by as creditable a witness
as there was In the city.
Mr.. NoOrhees-And eve if the senator
said it, it would be absolutely false and a
palpable lie.
Mr.. Ingalls-The senator is disorderly.
Continuing Mr.. Ingalls, read from a pa
per signed by citizens of Sullivan county,
who stated that they were present at a
meeting on April 6, 1852, when Mr.. Voor-
hees said that the union soldiers should
go to the nearest blacksmith shop and
have an iron collar around their necks
with the inscription, "My dogs-Abraham
Lincoln" This paper was signed by re-
spectacle citizens of Indiana. Did not the
soldiers of Indiana threaten to hang the
senator with a rope on the train after he
made that Lincoln dog speech?
MI. Yoorhees-The senator is a great
liar when he intimates such a thing-a
great liar and a dirty dog, 1t never oc-
curred-never in the world. That is all
the answer l have and | pass it back to
the scoundrel behind the senator who is
instigating these lies. (This remark was
made indirect to Representative johnson,
of Indiana, who was seated at a desk di-
rectly in the rear of Mr.. Ingalls)
Mr.. EUsTIs RISES TO REMARK.
Mr.. Eustis, of Louisiana, said he would
inform the senator from Kansas that the
mode and manner in which the Louisiana
election had been conducted, being a state
election, wa none of his business what
ever. He denounced as s~candalous, vitu-
peratiye and supplementary the lam
guage which had been used by the sena-
tor from Kansas with reference to the peo-
pie of Louisiana. There seemed to be a
preconceived conspiracy among the re-
publican leadersto question the legality
of the elections in the south for no other
purpose than to convince northern people
that the democratic administration elected
by the suffrage Of the people was an
usurpation.
Senator Gibson said the remarks Of the
from Kansas were IN aspersion
upon the character and patriotism Of the
southern people.
