INGALLs's SPEECH.

Although Mr.. Ingalls's speech was
deprecated by the more conservative
Republicans, yet it seems that its radical
utterances only voiced the sentiment OF
the Grand Army, if that ASSOCIATION can
be judged by It's representatives here.

popular Republicans were nominated for
the sufirages OF the Grand Army and
their friends, MIR. ingalls, carried off the
plurality OF votes aud the spoils Of vic
tory. Evidently his speech made votes
for him.

Tnr MEN Ann THE ISSUES.

The ticket finally decided upon by
the Republican National Convention
at Chicago, it must be admitted even
10y the most sangune of our Demo-
cratic friends, possesses certain ster-
ling qualities-eninent responsibility,
good family stock, antccedents that
will stand criticism and the confidence
Of the party which placed the candi-
dates in nomination
If it lacks in anything it is in those
clements Of personal magnetism
which are useful i'm rousing campaign
enthusiasm and drawing on the OPP
position for recruits; but there will be
no lack of that potent clement which
is supposed to take the place of every
other when it comes to "whooping
mp the boys" for Mr.. Morton is a
millionaire many times over, and not
averse to tapping a barrel when oc-
casion demands it.
Aside from this consideration the
ticket is cold, unconditional and i'm
passive.
so also is the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket usually reckoned; and it
will be left for Mr.. Thurman, with his
red bandana and nuff-box, to furnish
enthusiasm for the whole canvass.
If there is unlimited poodle
available on one side, it must also be
borne in mind that the official ma
chinery Of the Administration is on
the other, and, in the hands of truly
stute leaders, may be counted as
ore than an offset to Mr.. Morton S
nix account.

SIT alone by my window
In the moOnlight's flicker and CLEAN,
And away on the blue cigarette smoke
Drift through the gates of a dream.
The baby breeze that Is signing
Down the heated city street,
Is full of the dust OF the summer day,
And the echo OF hurying feet,
But here in glass on my table,
lsa talisman true OF mine,
And WOndtOus pictures are painted
by this fuded bit of pine.
/ smell It's reslnOus Odor
And straightway there comes to me
The sound of the wind in the branches
And the pines, 'plantiye song Of the sea, ~
am back in the dear old hammock,
Where the star-lit shadows sway,
And the moon through the old trees
branches
j. sitting It's silver spray,
To and fro am swinging
In the hush OF the summers night,
Watching the dusky woodlands
Flash with the hre-iY's light,
The breath Of the sleeping roses
Is filling the soft June air,
And whip-o.wll calls from the distance,
Where the river flows broad and fair
The moon Is sailing slowly
From the tree-tops rising up,
And the star beneath is a golden drop
Brimmed from It's silver cup.
Straight from "Hesperldes' Gardens"
The wandering breezes blow;
And drift through magical wonderland,
Slow swinging 10 and fro,
All me, instead of the birdsong,
The street cars are rumbllng by,
And I'm here in this hot old city
With fan, and some ice and sigh.

The Washington critic., 1888-06-26

SECRETARY FAIRCHILD has addressed
a communication to Mr., George Will
liam Curtis, in which he shows very
clearly that the charges derogatory to
himself, which were laid before Sena.
tor Hale's investigating committee,
through the Civil Service Reform
Association, were not only untrue but
maliciously untrue. They related to
certain dismissals at New York and
placed the Secretary in the attitude of
ordering removals without cause and
pursuing otherwise course of con-
duet inconsistent with the true princi-
pies of reform. He states in his own
yindication, and with satisfactory de-
tail, that in all of the cases cited he
acted for what he believed to be the
best interests Of the service and
with due Difference to the require
ments of the law, both in spirit and
letter. He regrets that his actions
and motives should be misconstrued,
not so much for personal reasons, as
for the fact that the Association has
been made the medium of private
animosities and unjust reflections
upon the Department, thereby bring
ing itself and the cause it represents
more or less into disrepute. In view
Of Mr.. Fairchild's frank and con
vincing statements, it becomes ap-
parent that both the Association and
the Senatorial Committee have been
made the dupes Of misinformation
and malice.

THE CmCAGo Ncrs says that, while
Chairman Jones of the Republican
National Committee may be great
politician and public speaker, he is
little short of failure as an orator
and public speaker. The only
remedy for this defect, it says, would
be to "let his voice out in the seams"
But we are not so certain that Mr..
Jones would be proGted thereby. 1t
is quite as well, perhaps, that he lacks
the oratorical gift. 1t certainly Ind
been better for a number Of gentle
men, who made the Chicago welkin
ring last week, if they had been
stricken with comparative dumbness.
Our friend Ingersoll, for instance, no
doubt regrets that his voice had not
been taken in at the seams" before
he made that Gresham speech.
SENATOR SHERMAN may believe that
Republics are not ungratcful, but he
can scarcely be convinced that Re
publican parties are not.
A GOOD MANY people would like to
know to-day just what Mr.. Blaine
thinks about it all.
