Fredonia, Kan, July 21.-It was
battery of big guns that fired the
opening salute of the third district of
the Republican campaign here.
Ex-Speaker Ingalls,, Hon. Bernard
Kelly and Colonel Dick Blue spoke be
| fore vast audiences in the afternoon
and evening. The brilliant Ingalls,
was received with the enthusiastic
ovation accorded him. He said in the
course Of a two hours address:
81 am here today to make q. Repub-
IIican speech. L responded to Senator
Kirkpatrick's invitation because he is
! the same kind of a Republican that 1
I am, without variableneSs or shadow
Iof turning. Your chairman, introduce
| ing me, said that [ had retired from
public life. That is a mistake. I was
retired. My retirement was purely in
voluntary.
While I probably have as much cause
as anyone to find fault with PopuhSts,
have always said that the campaign
waged against me was unjust, as 1t
! was the most scientific on record
| in politics. 1t resulted in throwing me
higher into the atmosphere than any
thing else 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 PoDuliSt. 1t is a Democrat.
The Populists have fallen from grace,
but the Democrats furnish an nlustra-
| ton of original sin and total depraV-
lity.
| &c Whom the Lord 1oveth he chasten-
| ETH therefore we have this epOch OF
Democratic and Populist administra-
| ton l want to declare my belief that
for the condition in which the state
| finds itself today the Democracy IS
strictly and wholly responsible. Dem
Iocrats of Kansas have always been
Iready to make Illicit alliances to
| thwart the success of the Republican
party and whatever be their profess
Isions today, I want to say to you that
lin the IegisIa tive and congressional
| contests you have exactly the same OBJ
ponents as heretofore. The great ques-
ltion before the American people IS
mot the tariff or silver, but whether we
are to have any government IN THIS
Icountry at all. We want TO know
! whether this is a government (of law or
! a government of men. This is ques-
ton for the Republican party. because
every other party has shown ltsen
incompetent to settle it.
| Mr. ingalls, spoke at length of the
recent strike. denouncing his own de-
| tentiOn in Chicago as prisoner OF
war. He spoke most bitterly against
the attempt of the workingmen to pre-
vent others from accepting labor at
wages they had refused. He regarded
such action as an abrogation OF IN
aIienable rights that made the const1-
tuition seem ironical and the govern
ment no better than if dispensed by
a car.
mo ruler in the old world" he said,
"could have inflicted such conditions
upon the people without precipitating
a revolution in twenty-four hours. For
the condition of affairs in Chicago no
Imam is more responsible than Cover
lnor AltgeId, for when he pardoned the
anarchists he said it was safe to burn,
lpilIage and shed blood. Grover Cleve-
Hand, in telling Altgeld that the United
States would protect its citizens blum
ldered" on the first serviceable act OF
Ibis 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 OPP
Iposed to women suffrage, because his
mother. wife, sisters and daughters do
not want to vote. He thought that
lwhen the women want to vote they
would make it known. He said the
Iprohibitory law must be enforced or
repealed. He spoke against indiscrlm-
Innate immigration and ended with q
discussion of the money question, IN
the course of which ne said he was .
lbimetallist pure and simple, as ne had
lbeen for twenty years or more.
