ingalls, Estimate of the Republican
Presidential Aspirants.

John j. Ingalls,, the "Kansas Rnfiiar, y
presides over the Q. S. Senate, and has a
high seat in the Republican Sanhedrim
Here is what he wrote from Washington to a
member of the Kansas delegation TO the Re-
publican convention:
''Vice- Presidents Chamber, Washington,
June 16.-Yours of the 18th at hand. 1t does
not make much difference who is nominated,
in NV Judgment The candidates will cut but
a small figure in the fight. We can elect
ANYBODY, or we shall fail. The least conspic-
uous, and therefore the least complicated,
man will be the best-somebody like Hayes
in 1876.
"Among all the men named there is not
one leader no one whose personal or his
torical relations to the people would make a
difference of 1000 votes in the canvass.
Sherman, Allison, Harrison, etc., have records
that would be awkward on the tariff, the cur
rency, the Chinese question, etc. Depew' s
connection with railroads and corporations
would be heavy load, especially in the ag-
ricultural States. We might as well nominate
Gould or Vanderbilt at once.
"My impression is that Alger or Gresham
come nearer filling the bill than any of the
others, with some fellow like Phelps of New
Jersey, who could reach the conservative
forces of the East and get contributions from
the manufacturers and Wall street. But you
can Judge much better than | what is best
after consulting with the delegates.
81 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 if anything of interest transpires.
Truly yours,
JoHN j. INGALLS,"

Daniel Auble, Of near Mt Wolf, York
Co., Pa, had terrible experience with light
ming Saturday. He resides on the farm OF
Samuel Gross, and had two mules hitched to
reaper with which he was cutting grass.
Seeing storm coming on, and fearing that
he might have trouble with the young mules,
he began to hurriedly unhitch them, but just
as the last trace was being unlocked, stroke
of lightning descended, striking the mules,
killing them both instantly, and seriously in-
Turing Mr.. Auble. He was stunned for some
time. and some of his clothing was burned off
him.
The town of Sundsvall, on the Gulf Of
Bothnia, the centre of the timber trade of
Sweden, was almost destroyed by fire on
June %. The town of Umea, on the Gulf of
Bothnia, has also been partly burned. The
damage at Spndsvall and Umea will reach S5,-
600, 900. Immense tracts of forest land have
been burned over. A drought has prevailed
for long time, rendering the wood very dry.
This condition and the prevalence of wind
storms made the flames spread with great
ferceness and rapidity.
A ball of fire fell in East Twenty fifth
street, between Second and Third avenues,
New York, Tuesday. 1t exploded and scat
tered sparks and stones for twenty feet in
every direction The fire ball came in a
southwesterly direction, and was first noticed
at about the height of the house tops. 1t is
stated that several persons near received
severe electric shocks.

Speech of Hon. A. s. Fitch.


On the first page of this issue will be found
the speech of Hon. Ashbel P. Fitch, of New
York, on the subject of tariff revision, deiiy-
cred in the House of Representatives on May
10th last.
Mr. Fitch was elected to Congress as Re-
publican, and up to few weeks ago acted
with that party. Finding that the tariff was
the chief line ofdivision now between the two
great parties, Mr.. Fitch's convictions on the
question took him to the Democratic side, and
he has allied himself with that party.
When he delivered his speech on tariff re-
vision, however, he spoke as Republican,
and, as he claimed, for the Republicans and
the people generally of his district, and his
utterances are worthy of attention as showing
the position of large body of Republicans
in reference to revision of the tariff and
surplus reduction.
Mr.. Fitch reminded his side of the House
that his party had promised tariff revision;
that the last Republican President and his
Secretaries of the Treasury advised it; that
party conventions in many states had demand
ed it, but that the position of the party in the
House was the selfish and unreasonable one
that the revision must only be done by the
Republican party in House Of which that
marty shall have majority. He was against
postponement, for the reason that no one
could say ,1hen the party would be strong
enough to carry through by Republican votes
alone revision of the tariff; and even should
the fall elections return Republican MAORI
ty, it would be at least two years before any
measure of relief could be made effective
He favored immediate action and declared it
as absurd to vote against the Mills bill on
party grounds as it would be to oppose the
admittedly necessary appropriations for the
government because they are prepared in a
Democratic committee and proposed to a
Democratic House.
Continuing, he said he was one of those
who were disappointed that no Republican
bill had been brought forward to reform the
tariff, but instead of such measure he had
heard nothing from his side Of the House,
except the able speech of the Hon. Knute
Nelson, save denunciation of the manner in
which the Mills bill was formulated. The
history of the bill was matter of no conse-
quence to him, he said, and that he intended
to vote for it, if no better measure of relief
from oppressive taxation were offered, with
out regard to consequences of the vote to
himself.
Mr. Fitch did not deal in long rows of fig.
ures and statistics, but showed that revision
OF the tariff and surplus reduction was
business necessity, and demanded by the in
terests of the consumers, pointed out some
of the inequalities of the present tariff, spoke
of the promises of his party, to modify the
tariff, and ably urged immediate action.

Mr.. Blaine will never be able to convince
the American people that his letters of with
drawal were not insincere and indirect, when
his lieutenants, those nearest to him and the
most trusted, continually predicted his nomi-
nation, and boldly conspired to kill off, one
by one, every other aspirant, in order to force
him upon the Chicago convention. The
scheme becoming so apparent to all, resent
ment followed, plain talk to the Blaine con-
spirators was ipdRlged in, and combination
to beat Blaine resulted. Blaine named the
nominee, however, and his henchmsn did his
bidding. The nomination was made in the
nick of time. Another day, and the Blaine
conspirators would have been powerless. The
antagonism to them and their leader was
hourly growing in intensity, and they would
have been hooted from the convention had
they not abandoned their scheme. As it is,
Blaine is uppermost. 1t is his nomination,
and in the event of success Blaine would vir-
tually own and control the Administration.
Happily, however, the people will not endorse
the ticket. On November 9th the voters of
this country will record an overwhelming
majority for Cleveland and Thurman, and the
Republican party will go out of existence as
q national organization.

National Democratic Committee.

At a meeting of the National Democratic
Committee, in Washington, on Tuesday last,
Hon. VIM. II. Barnum, of Connecticut, was
unanimously elected chairman; S. P. Sheerin,
of Indiana Secretary, and E. B. Dickinson,
of New York, assistant secretary; Charles j..
Canda, of New York, was reelected treasurer.
On motion of Mr.. German the chair was
authorized to appoint an executive committee
of q members to take general charge of the
affairs of the campaign and also to appoint a
committee of seven to be known as the gam
paign committee which committee is en-
powered to select such persons, not members
of the committee, as they may deem necessary
to aid them in the campaign work. The
chairman was made er-oficiO chairman of
the committee of q. A committee of three,
consisting of Messrs. Barnum, 0elrichs and
Dawson, was appointed to select committee
headquarters in New York City. On motion
of Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado, the silver
gavel presented to the National Democratic
Convention by the Colorado delegation, and
now in the custody of the National Committee,
was presented to General P. A. Collins,
chairman of the convention. A committee,
consisting of Messrs. German, Ransom, Bar
bour, Pasco, Faulkner and Dickson, was
appointed to represent the committee at the
convention Of Democratic Clubs in Baltimore
on July 4.

Harrison's Chances.

At the conference of the representatives Of
the Sherman, Alger, Harrison, Blaine and
Allison delegations, which tooa place on Sat
urday last at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chica-
go, NJ. H. De Young, of the California dele
CATION, representing Blaine interests, made
the statement that if Harrison was nominated
it would be utterly impossible to elect him.
He could not possibly carry the Pacific coast,
nor would he be able to carry any ofthe larger
States where the labor element predominated,
because he had voted against the Chinese bill
and treaty, and every phase of it, and he had
committed still greater crime in voting to
naturaIize Cinnamon and give them the right
of suffrage. The statement made by Mr.. De
Young created great CONSERVATION.

This campaign will not be a repetition of
that of 1910, as the personal friends of Har-
rison are predicting. 'Tippeeanoe and Nor
ton too will not enthuse like "Tippecanoe
and Tyler too" The log cabin will be alb
sent, also. Harrison would rather forego the
Presidency than to have any suggestions
about log cabins He is an aristocrat. Neither
will there be any coon skins, though the black
"eoons' will be on hand in solid phalanx.
Nor can there be any hard cider, for the
platform contains plank that would make
the use Of the favorite beverage of 1910 in
consistent with the party's professions. When
Harrison takes comforter, it is not hard
cider, from gourd, but sparkling champagne
from cut glass goblet. No hard cider for
him.

How the Nomination Was Received
in Congress.

When the nomination of Harrison was an
nounced in the House of Representatives at
Washington, on Monday last, the applause
was unanimous. The Democratic side was
fuller than the Republican, and consequently
The volume of applause was on that side.
The Republicans and Democrats both seemed
jubilant, but the joy was from opposite stand
points. The former we're expected tc ap-
plaud, but it was evident that it was not all
genuine. 1t was whistling to keep up cour-
age, as it were. The Democrats applauded
because the nomination was not regarded as
a strong one. Mr.. Harrison's record has
several weak spots. His Chinese record will
ALLEVIATE the Pacific states and is distasteful to
the knights of Labor. and there are other
spots that will be brought into prominence
later. A deep political grave awaits him in
November. The nomination Of Morton at
tracted little or no attention. Everybody
believes that it was Morton's money and not
the man that was nominated. The aid of his
Doodle is encouraging to Republicans; but he
himself is not popular.

The Outlook in Indiana,
Etom the Indianapolis lSentinel.

From all over Indiana comes the mos
cheering reports of the Democratic situation
and prospects. The party is united, harmon.
ious and enthusiastic to degree never before
witnessed at the opening of presidential
campaign. The Democratic newspapers Of
the state, without exception, are hearty in
their enconiums upon the St. Louis ticket and
platform. Cleveland and Thurman are in
high favor with the people. The red bandana
is proudly waving from the lake to the river.
The issue of lower taxes is immensely popu-
lar. If there is anybody in or out of Indiana
who thinks this is a doubtful state this year,
he doesn't understand the situation. Indiana
is easily good for 10000 Democratic majority
as the situation stands to-day.

When the announcement of the nomination
of Gen. Harrison for President was made in
the House of Representatives on Monday, the
Republicans, as if by magic, waved hundreds
of American flags. Instantly three rousing
cheers were given by them. The Democrats
broke in, to a man, and gave their candidate
three times three, while the air was hatter-
ing mass of flags and bandanas.

The nomination of Harrison and Morton
caused scarcely ripple of enthusiasm in any
part of the country. The contest was SO long,
and personal and factional animosities had
become so bitter, the Republican voters re-
ceived the nominations rather with a sigh Of
relief, than with feelings of enthusiasm over
the nominees.

1t seems to be going back into ancient his
tory to revive the campaign cry of 'Tippe-
canoe and Tyler Too" IT. great thing to
be the properly authenticated grandson of
your grand sire. Baltimore Herald.
But to be nothing more than the grandson
of your grandsire, is scarcely to be considered
qualification for the Presidency. The cry
of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too,'i revives, to
the older members of the Republican party,
the successor of the Wing party, unpleasant
"reminiscences. If history is to repeat itself,
of which we see no indications, the ''Tyier
too" representative must be MIR. Morton,
while Gen. Harrison should shuttle off this
mortal coil within one month of his inaugu-
ration, and all the fruits of victory be lost,
through ''Tyler too Morton. No, we fancy
the Republicans do not want renewal of
that kind of experience, and would rather not
hear the cry of Tippecanoe and Tyler too, if
history is to repeat ITSELF In the eagerness
of the Wings to carry Virginia and the South,
they celebrated, in song, their willingness to
vote for Tyler therefore
Without why or wherefore"
and in doing SO, they caught tartar, in John
Tyler, who was, and always had been, an
anti-bank man. Hon. Vim. C. Rives, another
anti bank man, but distinguished member
of the Wing party, advocated Mr.. Tyler's
election as an THANK man, using a former
speech delivered by Mr.. Tyler, to make him
more acceptable to the Virginians. They
thought Mr.. Tyler would be as clay in the
hands of the potter, after being elected,
and they could fashion him politically as cas-
lily as a nose of wax. Hence their song
Wen vote Tor Tyler, therefore,
Without why or wherefore"
But when they found that Mr.. Tyler had
strong nose of his own, and vetoed in success
sion five of their ''fscalites," they denounced
him as traitor, and burnt him in effigy under
the windows of the White House. Instead of
Mr.. Tyler being traitor, he was only con-
sistent to his lifelong principles. The Wing
party it was that burnt its fingers in the fire
of 1910, by voting for Tyler, therefore, with
out why or wherefore. 1t is impossible to
get up another such a craze as that of 1910,
and if it were possible, the Republicans would
hardly want it with such finale.
