"BOB" INGERSOLDS EULOGY or
CONKLING


Whoever reads the matchless eulogy OF
the late Senator Conkling, delivered by
Col. Ingersoll at Albany yesterday, in
presence OF the elite Of the population Of
the State Of New York, will say 1t were
worth dying 10 be thus embalmed in
words. However we may differ with the
orator, who IL must now be admitted
is the greatest master OF English on this
continent, II must be conceded that he
reilluminos integrity, honesty and virtue
and makes tho mere political drudge or
tool by contrast with his dead friend lower
than he has ever before been painted.
Friends and enemies alike agree that Conk-
ling was an incorruptible man. His honor
was absolutely unassailable. This IL was
that made him seem impracticable to poll
ticans. lie could not do any Of the things
that Blaine did. lilo could not have writ
ten any ono OF the Mulligan letters, but
having "iitpSh uioni ht Vouiu hot hhNo
gone upon his knees TO beseech their de-
struction MS a confessed iniamy that he
could not face. lie could not, like John
Sherman, have bargainod with illiterate
and semi-savago negroes for the life and
honor Of a sovereign State, nor could he,
like the Ohio statesman, have made
conciliatory speech in Nashville
and bloody-shirt one in Springfield,
Ohio. Conkling was above such monda-
city. Whata crawling thing Senator Inger-
soil seems when contrasted with the elo-
quencc Of his namesake. Conkling could
not have degraded himself In attempting
TO degrade Mcclellan and Hancock. His
love Of truth, his imporious pride and his
integrity lifted him far above such vile
ness. In making the strong points Of
Conkling's character NJ clear as light itself,
Col. Ingcrsoll pales the Intellectual
fires OF the living contemporaries, the fell
low pnrtsans oil the dead Senator Every
word Of the Grafton is n rcbuko not only TO
the supcncryiceable politicians who cringo
and crawl and do dishonos, thingsto main
tain themselves In place, but 10 the mill
ionairc thieves who still go about their
business Of theft by Illegal combina-
tons, the fingers Of scorn point
cd at them rs OF those who would
give all they have stolen, all they
possess, 10 DO thus spoken OF, TO deserve
such worls Of strength and beauty as Col.
Ingcrsoll has impressed into service to
make the world sec his dead friend as lac
knew him 10 bc, noble typo Of the
American citizen.

Prom the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The argument that under the present
unjus, war tariff the country has grown
rich will be oombatied by no one. II has
grown rich, and this vast wealth Is in the
hands Of the monopolis,s, boarded away
by the few, while the people, the wealth.
creating instruments, have not their lust
proportion TO show for their labon. II
any danger In the near future threatens
this country internally, Il will come
through the arrogant oppression Of mo
nopolisiic rule, through the too great cen
ializaiion Of wealth. The Plain Dailcr be-.
licycs that a system OF taxation Is not only
unjust, Aii Is creative Of dangers threaten
ing the very existence Of our free inslitu-
lions. Laws that permit the piling up an.
nually OF q monsirous surplus are product.
