GETS BACK AT INGALLS,
Whitelax Reid Analyses the lotiIes Of
the Kansas Nan.
BECAUSE I'm A GENTLEMAN
That Seems TO Be the Only
Reason Why the Sunflower
Statesman Should Throw
Mud.

CHICAGO, July il.--Hon. Whitclaw Reid,
ex-ministcr to France. who, with his fam
iiy, has been seeing the worlds fair for
some days past, was caught by a reporter
Just ms he was starting Tor New York.
Reid expressed great delight with the fair,
saying that 1t surpasses any worlds fair
previously held in many particulars. Its
buildings are superior, its novel pictur-
esque effects far surpass all previous ef-
forts in fact, 1t Is perfect in all respecte-
Reid was asked II he had read Ex-Sena-
tor Ingalls, criticism Of his candidacy for
the vice presidency.
NO." said Reid, with q laugh. 'Nbut you
know was not in favor OF that nomina-
ton myself. so probably the ex-senator
and would not differ materially"
The reporter thought that they might,
and show ed Reid the passages where In
gals sneercd at him as ''uxorious and an
aristocrat," objected TO his dress, manner
and ways, aud spoke OF his "superciiious"
insults to laborinR men.
THAT" said Reid. with more serious
ness. ''is absurd. I have been laboring
man my self. far more than ingalls, ever
was, aud he would probably he puzzled to
specify any insult. supercilious or other
wise. that ever offered tn labor or to any
honest laboring man. All this talk about
hostility TO the national ticket last year ON
account of n 15-year-old strike, which was
settled to the satisfaction OF the labor
unions, is sheer ciaptrap. Anyway, thero
never were 90 votes affected by II in
New York. even when IL was
an open question. To say that, after 1t
was settled tn their entire satisfaction, the
labor unions still carried il into politics, Is
to accuse them not merely OF bad faith,
| but of n systematic violation af their own
cardinal principles, thus Offering them the
grossest insults. OF course our opponents
made great hubbub about IL, but most OF
those whom they claim were influenced
were already ON their side. l doubt il
Powderly or any other equally reputable
aud responsible labor leader will say that
the question turned 1000 labor votes in
the United States last fall. Certainly il
did no, turn one where single rifle shot
at the Carnegie works turned thousands"
.what about tho I'xorious aristoc-
racy'c" urged the reporter.
..Dh. pshaw :" said Reid. "Who ever
heard before of rational man attacking
| a candidate because he vas reasonably
fond of his wife? The rest of Ingalls,
complaint seems to be that, in other par
ticulars also, / act like n gentleman.
Well, out in Kansas they surely don't
bring that accusation against him. and
yet when he was last n candidate. al
though he abandoned his supposed prin-
ciples and crawled in the dirt before them,
Mrs. Lease and Mr.. PETER thrust him
into the gutter. lie has been lying there
ever since, spouting mud and bad Ian
guage."
What can be his motive for this at.
tack"
''How do know. and what 10 the use Of
guessing? He seems to lack employment
since he was thrown out OF ofiice-holding
and suppose that the man must make q
living by lecturinR or writing for syndi
Gates. We have dozens Of such states
men on, of q job applying to US for worl
after every election. and fancy that YOU
paper has tho same experience" And
with a CHEEKY goodbye, the New York ed
itor swung into q car and started for hia
train.
