Senator Ingalls, is preparing most in
teresting speech, says Crawford, the Wash
ington correspondent. 1t will be devoted
to the general condition of affairs of the
country His topics will be both political
and social. 1t will be delivered at the first
opportunity before the senator's departure
for Kansas to take part in the campaign
for his election in January. The senator
has given very much thought to this sub
ject, and as he is one of the most brilliant
speakers of the country his address will be
read with the greatest interest. 1t is be-
lieved that the senator will treat with
light and def hand the new and formid-
able elements which have entered into the
political field during the last year. 1t is
possible that he will treat of the personal
made in his state by
OF the Farmers Alliance, /
now engaged in such contest against /
him. This is a very delicate subject for
the senator TO handle, as he is at pres
emit in the face of lnnumerable foes |
He is, however, very hopeful of the situa- |
ton, which, according to the best reports, I
is daily growing more and more favorable /
to him. 1t is clear that an earnest exposi- !
ton of his views concerning the issues of |
the present day will constitute a high act |
Of courage on his part. In a campaign, |
such as is now being conducted against |
him, a candidate of an ordinary kind |
would evade any more expressions of opin-
on than he could avoid. for the simple |
reasons that such remarks would simply |
afford further basis Tor Misrepresentation
,n the part of INSCRIPTIONS enemies.
