SENATOR Ingalls, threatens the
country with an open letter explaining
his recent indecency. If he has any
real respect for public opinion he will
abandon the idea and cover himself
with fig-leaf st. Louis Republican.

Where is Governor Foraker, Of

denunciation of the South or wrung q
ruby drop out of the bloody shirt for

ing as to make him speechless m Y
Herald.
One thing that tends to reduce
the Republican Presidential booms to
an equality is the pretty we'll assured
fact that the successful boom will lead
its possessor to disaster and defeat.
The man who gets the Republican nom-
ination this year will have something
of an elephant on his hands. st. Louis
Post Dispatch.
Nothing that Senator ingalls,
could say or do would so much raise
him in the estimation of all fair-mind-
ed men of both parties as to admit
that he was misled in his estimate of
Hancock and to make a square and
manly apology for unintended injus-
tice to one of the truest and noblest Of
our dead chieftains. M Y. Mail and
Egpress (Rep.).
Some of the newspapers have
been having great deal to say about
an alleged unpleasantness between
Secretary Villas and Senator Voorhees,,
and have represented those distin-
guished Democrats in the light Of
enemies. 1t is evident. however, from
the spirited manner in which Mr.
Voorhees, defended the Secretary from
attacks in the Senate the
other day that his relations with Mr..
Villas are not very badly strained. -
Indianapolis Sentinel.
A meeting of the Loyal Legion.
which is comprised of ex-Union sol
diers and sailors, and numbers among
its members some of the most distin-
guished men in both services, was held
the other day, at which Senator In
gals name was proposed for member
ship The friends of General Hancock
were so enraged at the remarks he had
used regarding that hero in his speech
in the Senate that they threatened to
him, and his name was with
drawn. The matter had been kept
very quiet, but among those who know
Of it it is regarded as significant, as it
is taken to show that, should Ingalls,
be nominated, the soldiers would knife
the ticket. = Washington Dispatch.
