aisles, and fully as many more crowded
outside around the house.
Being introduced, Mr.. ingalls, stepped
forward and delivered an address which
has been more anXiously looked for
than any other utterances ever pro-
nounced in Kansas.
After some personal explanations,
Mr.. Ingalls, said:
l have during the past three months talked
with scores. yes, with hundreds OF business
men in New York, Philadelphia. Boston, Balti-
more and the other great commercial cities
along the Atlantic seaboard: l have talked
with them upon the sea; | talked with them
as met them in Europe; men who had hereto
fore acted with the democratic party they said
to me that while the republican policy of pro-
lection was not all that they desired; while
there were features of tine Mckinley bill that
they did not like, that they had adjusted their
business TO it, and that they had discovered
that the results were not what they had been
predicted
They found that wages had arisen: they
ound that the prices OF the necessarieS OF life
lad diminished; they found that the importa-
ion of non-dutiable goods had decreased: they
aid what this country needed in its business
'neTgies and resources is permanenCe, and
,bility, and repose We know that If Presi
lent Harrison is chosen for another four years.
e shall have permanence and tranquility and
epose, but if Grover Cleveland is elected we
;nOw we shall have four years of agitation, of
turmoil, of disturbance and uncertainty, and
ve are going 10 vote for Benjamin Harri-
on. Applause Therefore, / say TO you
How citizens that this campaign has been
ansferred from the east 10 the west This is
le battle-ground of the remaining portion of
his campaign and un' ess the democratic party

tates Of the west and the northwest unless
ley can make some inrold into the republican
lUrnn, unless they can secure enough repub-
cans upon one pretext or another through the
eoples party, To vote for James Il Weaver.

SO l say, fellow citizens. we have been accuS-
med always al the outset of every campaign,
speak of il as being one Of great gravity, OF
Vtreme seriousness as involving momentous
sues that might result in a catastrophe.
l say to you that it is not the language of ex-
geration. il is not the language OF passion, il
not the language of prejudice when l say TO
III that here in the great agricultural states OF
west and the northwest the battle of this
InpaiEn is to be waged; and unless the demo
attic party can cajole unless they can in some
" or other break the directness and vigor

For more than twenty-five years: yes. for

practically had Chlrgc and controlled the
