''Fools rush in where angels dare no,
tread" He might commence hit
forthcoming epitaph, with the thrilling
words, 'Here lies" But he may not
believe what the Independent intelli-
gently says about him:
J.J, ingalls, Is confident Of his reelection Ma
doubt he has counted his sheckels and thinks HI
has quite enough 10 buy tho whole legislature
He will hnd that purity In politics Is 10 be SOLE
fact, and that not "A single dollar OF his dlthl
ucre viii avail In proving his theory that purity
In politics Ia an lrridescent dream"
Congressman Il. N. Morrill,, who
declined TO make another race in the
First district may explain that his
successor, Hon. Case BroderiCk, who
is saved as a political brand from the
burning, declined TO adhere TO the
Mckinley tariff act in his campaign
which Mr.. Morrill,, to appease Speak
or Reed, supported by his vote, know
ing that thereby he wronged his con.
stituents.
Congressman e. II. Funston, oi
the Second district may say in truth
/ shall be with you one moro term, tho last o.
the glorious seven, who have mlsrepresented
Che honest toilers In fields and In shops on IN,
soil OF Kansas.
He might explain to the majority
element in the House Of the Fifty.
Second Congress, that there was
elected from his county, sixteen yeart
a member Of Congress who sought 70
serve the people, and thus he might
refer TO him:
Hon. John H. GoOdln, representative from The
Second Congressional district OF Kansas, on july
10, 1876 in a speech made In the interest Of Nh,
reconciliation Of silver, said.
We all know that business enterprises Ian
guish, confidence Is gone, and hope has long
since ceased TO warm the Responding heart. M
man ned tell me, Mr. Speaker, that either di
rectly or remotely has the "lrredeemablllly" o.
our greenback currency anything 10 do with thil
unfortunate state OF things Neither can b,
forced to believe that the supembundance o.
"ragmOney" is source OF embarrassment Il
the people, The legal tender issues OF the gov
enment are good enough. Ever since thell
adoption all business In this country has beer
done upon the basis OF them, and the Clamor iOI
their retirement does not come from the massel
Of The people nor the mercantile class, but from
those moneychangers who depend for their for
tunes upon trade and traffic In the commodities
Of gold and silver bullion, the former Of which
we are now told Is 10 be speedily, iOrclbly made
the basis Of our entire monetary system.
But, Mr.. Speaker, however unjust the repealed
demands OF the creditor class however unfair Il
the patient oppressed taxpayers, che multiplied
concessions 10 these demands may have been II
the past their present attitude gives promise fol
greater alarm than any heretofore assumed.
"Judge me not ungentle.
OF manners rude and insOlent OF speech,
lt, when the public satety Is In question,
My zeal flows warm and eager from my tongue.
In these latter days Che "treaCherOus latter
les" OF the Nancy kings seem 10 possess capt.
waiting powers over the peoples servants, and I
sometimes looks as II
conscience, truth and honesty are made
To rise and fall like other wares Of trade"
with the experience Of the past in relation Il
our paper legal tenders, which have proved sucl
blessings to the country, II can not truthfully b,
said that because OF the cheapness Of the com
modify out Of which the money Is made IL cal
not be made TO nevertheless subserve the uses
ends and interests OF the people, and meet all oh
legations whether Of public or private charac
