address there were loud cries for Senate,
Ingalls,, and yielding to the popular de.
mand, the President pro tempore of the
United States Senate spoke as follows
ut gives me pleasure to say to you
that the State oil Kansas has always been
renowned for its hospitality. Upon this
occasion she has outdone herself. Zap.
plause.l Whenever Kansas man is
told thut thing is impossible he goes
and does it. Laughter and applause.
Had any one told me in advance that a
spectacle like that which We see here
today could have occurred he would
have been treated with doubt and with
derision." TAT this point one corner OF
the speakers stand began settling from
the great mass of humanity on it, and
President Harrison warned Senator
Ingalls, that the stand was going.
Women were frightened. and men rap.
idly vacated the stand, thus relieving the
pressure. "This is the second platform, y
