compartment 10 the vulgar speech Of the political
demagOgue whom the drunken crowd applauded
II a disappointed ward politician made such q
speech no would DO denounced % an iniudiclOns
fool, but coming from a United States senator
representing an intelligent people its an outrage
which nothing will Justify The speech Lifts the
mask from the statesman and shows tho narrow
petty demagOgue who brazenly prOclalms his
own purity, while no besmirOhos the character
Of men In every respect his supeTiOS. The wit
and keen sarcasm OF the Senator's AtchlsOn
speech would we'll become a brOthel In saloon,
but offered 10 the state Of KaRaas Il insults COM
mon deCency DO Senator Ingalls, friends iusti-
fy this brutal Inbred attack on men like Horton,
Guthrie, Anderson and others?
THE REMARKS AT THE FUNERAL
Under this heading the Capital gives
the following from Web Wilder on the
vindicatlOn spree:
Ingalls, says he has been Ave times yindlCatedi
Arst when he bought HE seat; second, when ho
was investigated at Topeka third, when he was
investigated at Washington fourth, when II Was
declared that his seat was obtained by bribery
and corruption, and Ahh. when the tdlltttiid
gave him free passes 10 bring thFbrs oR lale
lockers on 10 AtchisOn 10 hear his ladt dying
words and confession. That Is the AtchlsOn
definition OF "ylndicated," and Ave OF them
piled on each other would KIN the meanest
wretch who ever picked pocket or robbed a
grave.
WHERE'S THE REPUBLICAN, NEWSPAPER SAYS
HE Is VINDICATED2
Has the New York Times or Tribune said SOP
Has the Boston Journal or TTaUeler or AdU0r-
tscr, published In his native state declared that
Ingalls, held his seat hOnOrably2 Has any paper
In Chicago, Cincinnati or ~. Louis OF any politics
said or hlnted that Ingalls, was innocent, that no
had not bought his seat, that he was not guilty
Of cOrmptiOn2 Not one. Aud there never win
be one. And yet the press is generous; the Amer.
lean people do not wrongfully pursue an limo
cent man. When they find that false charges
have been made, they rush 10 the rescue Of the
person wrongly accused aud proudly and
triumphantly wash away the stain, placing them
higher In their confidence and honor than the
man who has gone through life blamelessly and
without reprOach.
Mr.. ingalls, Ia on one side, the people on the
other. He declares his innocence Splteiully and
with tIresOme reIteRtlOn. Hut nobody believes
him. II Is one man against all his COuntrymen.
We must change the prOverb what one man says
must be true.
A MOST BEAUTIFUL PEN PICTUREl
And thus the moral pOrtralture con,
tinues:
These bitter personalities In which the bTlber
has indulged, will bring fruit after their kind.
The war upon him has not yet opened. He
chooses 10 talk about private character he, the
most rotten OF men In his relations with men
and with women; In his relations aa o lawyer and
as Politician the lawyer who sought 70 brlbe
judges, and who made clients pay three times Tor
farm, the unmarried citizen OF sumner whose
children bear their mothers name; the married
man who stole an estate from widow; the sena-
tor who appointed COnVicts 90 ONCE and who
stole and burned the telegraphlc proofs OF his
guilt. This Is the creature who In his deieat and
In hls infamy 30 far forgot HIS cunning % 10
challenge the publication Of his private history.
