The unmanly and ribald speech
of Mr. ingalls,, which was designed to
stimulate the worst party passions, is
one of the many signs of the dcplora-
BILE decadence of the Republican party

Senator ingalls, threatens the
country with an open letter explaining
his recent indecency. If he has any
real respect for public opinion he will

Where is Governor Foraker, OF
Ohio? He hasn't INDUCED in bitter
denunciation of the South or wrung a
ruby drop out of the bloody shirt for a

the political outlook is not so distress
ing as to make him speechless. y

Hancock and to make square and
manly apology for unintended injus-
tice to one of the truest and noblest of
our dead chieftains. N Y. Mail and

Some of the newspapers have
been having great deal to say about
an alleged unpleasantness between

Voorhees, defeno ed the Secretary from
Republican attacks in the Senate the
other day that his relations with Mr..
Villas are not very badly strained

were so enraged at the remarks he had
used regarding that hero in his speech
in the Senate that they threatened to

of it it is regarded as significant. as it
is taken to show that. should ingalls,
