FREDoN1A, July 23-It was battery
OF big guns that fred the opening salute
of the Third district Republican cam
paign here Saturday. Ex-senator In
gals, Major Morrill,. Hon. Bernard KEEL
ly and Col Dick Blue spoke before vast
audiences in the afternoon and evening.
The brilliant Ingalls, was received with
the enthusiastic ovation always accord
ed him He said in the course of two
hours address:
Il am here today to make Republican
speech I responded to Senator Kirk pat
rick's invitation because he is the same
kind of a Republican that l am, without
varia bIeness or shadow of turning Your
chairman in introducing me said that L
had retired from public life. This IS
mistake. l was retired. My retirement
was purely Involuntary. w hile / prOba-
bly, have as much cause as any one to ind
fault with Populists, have always said
that the campaign Waged against me,
unjust as it was, was the most scientific
on record in American politics. 1t re-
suited in throwing me higher into the
atmosphere than anything else that has
been recorded since the COW jumped
over the MOON
Getting into his speech Mr.. Ingalls,
said: 'fIhere Is one thing worse than
POpulist. 1t is a Democrat The Popu-
lists have fallen from grace. but the
Democrats furnish an illustration of
original sin and total depravity. Whom
the Lord loveth, he chasteneth.' There
fore we have this epoch of Democratic
and Populist administration l want to
declare my belief here that for the con-
dition in which the state finds itself to-
day the Democracy is strictly and who'll
" responsible. Democrats have always
been ready to make Illicit alliances to
thwart the success of the Republicans,
and whatever be their professions today,
/ want to say to you that in the legIsla-
laUive and congressional contests you
have exactly the same opponents as here
tofore. The great question before the
American people is not the tariff or sill
yer, but whether we are to have any gov
eminent in this country at all We
want to know whether this IS govern
This is a question for the Republicans
party because every other party has
shown itself incompetent to settle il"
MIR Ingalls, spoke at length on the re-
cent strike, denOuncing his own deten-
ton in Chicago as a prisoner of war. He
spoke most bitterly against the attempt
of workingmen to prevent others from
accepting labor at wages they had re-
fused He regarded such action as
abrogation of inalienable rights that
made the constitution seem ironical and
the government no better than if dis
mo ruler in the old world" he said,
''could have inflicted such a condition
upon the people without precipitating a
revolution in twenty-four hours. For
the condition of affairs in Chicago no
man is more responsible than Gov Alt
geld, for when he pardoned the anarch-
lists he said it was safe to burn, pillage
and shed blood. Grover Cleveland, IN
telling Altgeld that the United States
would protect its citizens, Numbered on
the first serviceable act of his two terms
The question of the hour is the survival
of constitutional government among
men. Unless the Republican party is
able to accomplish the task, tell you it
is gone"
The senator announced that he Is op-
posed to woman suffrage, because his
mother, wife, sisters and daughters do not
want to vote. He thought that when the
women wanted to vote they would make
it known. He said the prohibitory law
must be enforced or repealed. He spoke
against indiscriminate immi grafton, and
ended with discussion Of the money
question, in the course of which he said
lie was a bimetaIlist, pure and simple, as
he had been for twenty years or more.
