A Word OF Praise for
Cleveland.


FREDoNIA, Kan, July 21.-1t was a
battery OF big guns that fred the open
ing salute OF the third district OF the
Republican campaign here. Ex-senator
Ingalls,, Hon. Bernard Kelly and COL
Dick Blue spoke before vast audiences
IN the afternoon and evening. The
brilliant Ingalls, was received with the
enthusiastic ovation always accorded
him. He said, in the course OF 9 two
hours address:
81 am here today to make Republic
can speech. l responded to Senator
Kirkpatrick's invitation because he Is
the same kind OF a Republican that l
am, without vsrisbleuess or chance of
turning. Your chairman. introducing
me, eaid 1 had retired from public life.
This is mistake. l was retired. My
retirement was purely involuntary.
"While Iprobaby have as much cause
as anyone to find fault with the Popu-
lists, have always said that the cam
paign waged against me, unjust az 1t
was, WAS the most scientific on record In
politics. 1t resulted in throwing me
higher into the atmosphere than any
thing that has been recorded since the
COW jumped over the moon"
Getting into his speech, Mr.. ingalls,
said that there was one thing worse than
a Popolist. 1t is q Democrat. The Pop
uliste have fallen from grace, but the
Democrats furnish an illustration Of
original sin and total depravity. "Whom
the Lord loveth He chasteneth."
Therefore we have this epoch OF
Democratic and Populist administra-
ton. [ want to declare my belief
that for the condition in which the
state finds itself today, the Democracy
is strictly and wholly responsible. Dem
ocrats of Kansas have always been ready
to make illicit allowances to thwart the
success of the Republican party, and
whatever be their professions today,
want to cay to you that in the legls-
lative and congressional contests you
have exactly the same opponents as
heretofore. The great question before
the American people is not the tariff or
silver, but whether we are to have any
government in this country at all. We
want to know whether this is govern
ment of one man or government OF
men. This is q question for the Repub-
lican party, because every other party
has shown itself incompetent to settle
it,"
Mr.. Ingalls, spoke at length of the
recent strike, denouncing his own de-
tention in Chicago as a prisoner OF war.
He spoke most bitterly againet the
attempt OF the workingmen to prevent
others from accepting labor at wages

could have inflicted such conditions
upon the people without precipitating q
revolution in "a hours"
''For the condition of affairs in Chi
cago no man is more responsible than
Governor Altgeld, for when he pardoned
the anarchists he said it was ssfs to
burn, pillage and shed blood. Grover
Cleveland, in telling Altgeld that the
United States would protect its citizens,
blundered on the first servcesble act of
his two terms. The question of the hour
is the survival OF constitutional govern
ment among men. Unless the Repub-
lican party is able to accomplish the
task, tell you it is gone"
The senator announced that he ia on
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 thew
would make it known, He said the
prohibitory law must be enforced or re.
pealed. lie spoke against indiecrimin-
ate immigration, and ended with a dis.
cussion of the money question, in the
course of which he said he was bmet-
allist, pure and simple, as he had been
for 20 years or more.
