Senator Ingalls, ringing speech in
the Senate on Tuesday was the politi-
cal event of the week. II was straight
from the shoulder. every sentence rep
resenting knock-down blow against
the democratic party. II was all the
Senate officials could DO to keep down
the enthusiastic applause of the crowd
ed galleries duri.ig itN delivery W NJ
Many old soldiers listened attentive
~ while the Kansas Senator fIayed the
administration and the democratic par
ty, and the expression of their faces
was all the evidence needed Of their
supreme enjoyment OF the well deserv-
ed Negotiation. They were particular
ly pIeasec with the Senator's reference
to Cleveland, whose many slurs upon
them in connection with the pension
vetoes last year have neither been for
gotten or forgiven. Here's the Kan.
sas Senator's opinion of Cleveland:
1.-The nomination and election Of Gro
yer Cleveland has made the preteh-
sions of any American citizen to the
presidency respectable. There is no
man in this country whose ignorance
is so profound, whose obscurity so i'm
penetrable, whose antecedents SO de-
graded, that he has not the right 10
aspire to the presidential nomination
by the democratic party" Referring
to the question asked by Senator Vest
in his speech last week where is this
this business to stopW Mr.. ingalls,
said. 1T is going stop when the ar
rears of pensions are paid; when the
limitation is removed and every soldier
on the rolls or who gets on the rolls. is
paid from rhe day of his disability. or,
in case of survivor, from the date OF
the soldiers death; and when every
surviving soldier of the Union army il
put upon the rolls for service only.
That is when it is going to stop. And
if you 90 not like it, make the most OF
it." Referring to the pending pension
bill he said: II hope it will pass the
other House OF congress-; and if il
does. let the president of the United
States veto it at his peril"
1t remained for republican to take
the initiative in stopping the patent
medicine men aud cigarette people
from mekiDg use of Mrs. CIeveland's
picture as an advertisement. Mr..
Thomas, of H., has introduced bill
in the House which makes it misde
meanor punished by heavy fine foI
any person or Arm TO use a woman's
likeness as an advertisement without
her written consent.
Here is little specimen of democrat
ic stupidity. The Secretary of War
reported TO the Senate that so many
errors had been made in printing the
abstract of the militia force of th
country as recently recently reported
to congress, that the document was

For some days a rumor has been cur
rent here that Cleveland has written q
letter. which is now is in the hands OF
ex-Mayor Cooper, of New York, who
is authorized to make il public when
ever he sees tit, in which he declines
to allow his name to be used for the
nomination, and further, that he
would not accept the nomination il il
should be rendered him. This is hard
to believe.
Another failure in the treaty line il
