This circular, sent everywhere to
manufacturers "in confidence" !" was
made public by one of them by way of
protest against the black mailing spirit
of the Republican party. While many
manufacturers will be manly enough
to refuse to submit to blackmail, others
will be held under the fire until the fat
fries out in sufficient quantities to
grease the Republican machine.
Through Millionaire Morton, the party
will act on the recommends tions of the
Ingalls, letter, written to one of the
Chicago delegates, which is here ap-
pended for fuller information:
VICE.PREsIDENT's CHAMBER, WASHING
TON, June 16.-Yours 18th at hand. 1t does
not make much difference who is nominated,
in my judgment. The candidates will cut
but small figure in the fight. We can elect
anybody, or we shall fail. The least con-
spicuous, and therefore the least complicat-
ed man will be the best; somebody like
Hayes in 1876. among all the men named
there is not one "leader,n no one whose per-
sonal or historical relation to the people
acould make a difference of 1000 uotes in the
canvass. Sherman, Allison, Harrison each
haze records that aCould be daUka1drd on the
tariff, the currency, the Chinese question, etc.
Depew's connection with railroads and cor
porations would be heavy load, especially
in the agricultural States. We might as well
nominate Gould or Vanderbilt at once. My
is that Alger or Gresham come
nearer filling the bill than any of the others,
Nth some fellosc like Phelps of Neao Jersey,
aoho could reach the conservative forces of
the East and get contributions from the man
nfacturers and Wall street. But you can
judge much better than what is best, after
consulting with the delegates. have the
use of the wires during the. convention by
the courtesy of the company, and you can,
therefore, telegraph me fully at all times il
anything of interest transpires.
Truly yours,l JOHN j. INGALLS,.
These two documents state Republic

be stated. They might be stated more
concisely, however, in one word II
"boodle." "Boodle" is the party's only
hope. Harrison's personal or histor-
ical relation the people would not make
a difference of 1000 votes in his favor"
as Senator. ingalls, justly observes, and
his record is awkward on the tariff,
the currency, the Chinese question,
etc." In this desperate strait, the par
ty hopes to win by buying votes with
money contributed by the Thurstons,
and Haymonds, who dictated
the nominations at Chicago.
Doodle" can do much. There are |
votes for sale and Doodle can buy them,
but there are not enough Doodle givers |
or Doodle takers in the United States |
to elect President. The Republican |
party has stolen the Presidency once, |
but it will never succeed in acquiring |
it by purchase. The highest Office in |
the gift of the American people Is not |
for sale.-Republic.
