CHICAGO, July 3. Citizen JOIN y. In
gals and Miss ingalls, arrived at ahe
Grand Pacific last evening They Are
journeying from Georgetown, d. C., where
Miss ingalls, has been in school, to their
Kansas home, and will be in this city un.
til tonight. A reporter sought the states
man out of job" Mr. Ingalls, seemed to
bubble over with good spirits and in a
most amiable manner chatted upon vari-
Gus subjects. As he conversed in his par
Tor his handsome daughter sat beside. him
and her benign influence was quite appa-
rent '-4N "a rh n So
"what will l talk about:" he asked in
reply to query.
Yourself; that is a subject whiSh satar
ests the people
you are mistaken. I'm only citizen
hOW, u pain NlllLtu OUT VI n JOD.
Can still Talk Politics.
Though not in Office you are still il
politics.
@No. When one has been pushed out of
politics it is made all the worse if he
doesn't realize what has happened To
day have no plans or even thoughts of
getting back into politics But you can't
tell what may happen" But he evlnced
some decidedly firm views on the next
presidential campaign.
who will be nominated?r was asked.
Harrison and Cleveland. lam in favor
of Harrison and feel as certain as do of
anything that ne will be nominated.
Cleveland is essentially the favorite of the
rank and file of the Democracy. His nom
ination is inevitable.
Says Blaine Is Not in 1t.
Whose chances are next brightest to
Harrison's2' r
President Harrison stands far in the
lead. There is not an available candidate
pressing him"
What of Blaine;7
Ale is not even talked of by those who
are actually familiar with the inside of
politics. His name is heralded by Jealous
friends, and that's the end
ado you not favor him.
His physical condition unfortunately
makes his nomination quite Impossible,
bat this is n subject that do not care TO
dwell upon"
The Issues of Next Campaign.
"You think that the coming campaign
will be not unlike the last one.?'
You will find that to be so"
will the result be the same"
GAS am out of politics ] don't care to
predict results. If the business situation
u AT1
Kinley bill prospers, and there is a gen
eral feeling of successful growth in the
country, then the result will be the same
as in 1883. If these conditions are favora-
bic in 1892, the Republicans win certainly
win"
Doesn't Disparage the Democracy.
"Have you anything to say for the Dem
ocrats?"
~ never talk disparagingly of the Dem
ocracy. 1t is a great party and has pro-
duced some of our greatest men, but they
are in a bad fix now" Continuing he said
their big majority was a stumbling block
because it was too big. 1t was more than
probable that it would defeat them in 1892.
"The majority" he said, "is so large that
the burden of meeting numberless delicate
questions rests upon its broad shoulders.
The Democrats must meet the pension
matters, the demands of the Farmers ; i
lance, the silver question and others
equally important
That Delicate Pension Question.
"The first question alone will prove an
insurmountable obstacle. They have been
crying a great deal about the billion con-
congress, and have made several attacks
upon legislation which arranged for pen
sion matters. Now, if the Democrats pass
pension bill as large as the Republican
bills then their thunder will be taken away
from them. If they attempt to cut down
the pensions they will make an irrevocable
blunder. You can't oppose fair pension
bill without antagonizing the spirit of the
land"
Making Money at Lecturlng.
Citizen Ingalls, ought to be satisfied
with the financial part of his present life.
While he says nothing about such mat
tiers, it is understood that his lectures
alone are bringing him an income much
larger than the yearly salary of a United
States senator. Then again he receives q
comfortable income from his pen. Nearly
every week he supplies some magazine or
paper with an article on the social or po-
litical subjects with which he has been
familiar for years. He has decided not to
take the editorship of Truth, of New York,
but has agreed 20 send the publication a
number of articles during the year
SECRETARY BLAINE NOT SO WELL.
