CHICAGO, July 1l.-Whitelaw Reid, ex-
Minister to France, who, with his family,
has been seeing the Worlds Fair for
some days past, was caught by reporter
just as he was starting back for New
York. Reid expressed great delight with
the fair. saying it surpasses any worlds
fair previously held in many particulars.
Its buildings were superior, its novel
picturesque effects far surpass all previ-
GUS efforts. In fact, it was perfection in
all respects
Reid was asked if he read ex-senator
Ingalls, criticism on his candidacy for
the Vice-P Presidency.
NO" said Reid, with laugh; but
you know 1 did not favor that nomina-
ton myself, so probably the ex-senator
and 1 wouldn't differ materially"
The reporter thought they might, and
showed Reid passages where Ingalls,
sneered at him as uXorious and an aristo-
crat, and objected to his dress, manners
and ways, and spoke of his "supercili-
Gus" insults to the laboring men.
THAT" said Reid, with more serious
ness. lis absurd. l have been a laboring
man myself far more than Ingalls, ever
was, and he probably would be puzzled
to specify any insult, supercilious or
otherwise, that I ever offered to labor or
to any honest laboring man. All this
talk about hostility to the national tcke
last year on account of fifteen-year- old
strike, which was settled to the satisfac-
ton of the labor unions, is sheer clap
trap, anyway. There never were a thou
sand votes effected by it in New York.
Even then it was An open question. To
say that after it was settled to their salts
faction the labor unions still carried it
into politics is to accuse them, not merely
of bad faith, but of systematic violation
of their own cardinal principles, and
thus offering them the grossest insults.
Of course, our opponents made great
hubbub about it. but most of those whom
they claim were influenced were already
on their side. l doubt if Powderly or
any other equally reputable or response
BILE leader will say that the question
turned thousand votes in the United
States last fall. Certainly it did not turn
one where single rife-shot at the Carne-
gle works turned thousands"
"What about uxorious and aris-
tocracy?" urged the reporter.
''Oh, pshaw," said Reid, "who ever
heard before of a rational man attacking
a candidate because he was decently fond
of his wife? The rest Of Ingalls, com
plant seems to be in other particulars,
also, that l act like a gentleman. Well,
out in Kansas they surely didn't bring
that accusation against him." added Reid.
when he was last candidate, although
he abandoned his supposed principles
and crawled in the dirt before them, Mrs.
Lease and Mr.. PETER thrust him into the
gutter, and he has been lying there ever
since, spouting mud and bad language"
''Wnat can be the motive for the at
tack?'
How do know. and what's the use
OF guessing? He seems to be in lack of
employment since he was thrown out of
office-holding, and | suppose the man
must make a living by lecturing or writ
ing for syndicates. We have dozens of
such statesrn =: out of jobs applying to us
for work after every election, and I
fancy your paper has the same expert
ence;" and, with CHEEKY goody-bye, the
New York editor swung into car and
started for his train.
