REED AND INGALLS,.
The Recent Attack Made on Mr.. Reed
by the Ex-senator.
An Interview in Which the Late Candi
date for the presidency
Airs His Views.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Hon. Whiteleaw
Reid ex-minister to France who, with
his family has been seeing the World
fair for some days past was caught by a
reporter just as he was starting back for
New York. Mr.. Reid expressed great
delight with the fair, saying it surpasses
any Worlds fair previously held in many
particulars. It's buildings are superior,
its novel picturesque effects far surpass
all previous efforts, in fact, it was perfec-
ton in all respects. Mr.. Reid was asked
if he had read Ex-senator Ingalls, criti-
cism of his candidacy for the yice-presi-
dency?
No." said Reid, with a laugh, ''but
you know was not in favor of that nom
nation myself, so probably the ex-senator
and l wouldn' t differ Inaterially.''
The reporter thought they might and
showed Mr.. Reid passages where ingalls,
sneered at him as ''uxorious' and an aris-
tocrat, and objected to his dress, manners
and ways and spoke of his 'ssuperciliouso
insult to laboriDg men.
''That,' said Mr.. Reid, with more So
robustness, lis absurd. l have been a
laboring man myself, far more than In
gals ever was, and he would probably be
puzzled to specify any insult, supercili-
GUS otherwise, that l ever offered to labor
or 10 any honest laboring man. All this
talk about hostility to the national ticket
last year on account of a ffteen-year old
strike, which was settled to the satisfac-
ton of labor unions, is sheer claptrap
anyway. There never were a thousand
votes affected by it in New York
even when it was an open question; to
say that after it was settled to their en-
tire satisfaction, the labor unions still
carried it into politics, is to accuse them
not merely of bad faith, but of system
attic violation of their own cardinal prin-
ciples, thus Offering them the grossest in
suits. OF course, our opponents made q
great hubbub about it, but the most of
those whom they claim to have Influenced
were already on their side. l doubt If
Powderly or any other equally reputable
and responsible labor leader will say that
the question turned a thousand labor
votes in the United States last fall. Ger
| tainly it did not turn one where single
rife shot at the Carnegie works turned
| thousands.
"What about uxorious and aris-
tocracy?' urged the reporter.
.sOh, pshaw,'' said Mr.. Reid, "who
ever heard before of a rational man at
lacking a candidate because he was de-
Gently fond OF his wife? The rest of In
gals complaint seems to be that in other
particulars also act like a gentleman.
Well, out in Kansas they surely don't
bring that accusation against him; and
yet when he was last candidate, al
though he abandoned supposed princi-
pies and crawled in the dirt before them,
Mrs. Lease and Mr.. PETER thrust him
into the gutter. He has been lying there
ever since, spouting mud and bad
language"
'sWhat can be the motive for the at
tack?''
elbow do I know, and what's the use
of guessing? He seems to lack employ
ment since he was thrown out of office
holding, and 1 suppose the man must
make living by lecturing or writing fol-
a syndicate. We have dozens of sucf
statesmen out of job applying TO us foI
work after every election, and / fancy
your paper has the same experience. .
and with CHEEKY good bye the New Yorl
editor swung into the car and started fol
his train.
