ator Tillman in the senate and expressed
surprise that he was not called 10 order
Mr.. Ingalls, was for four years the presid-
ing officer of the senate. His assaults on
the president and cabinet were a breach of
decorum and in violation of the rules of
order in debate,'' he said. MIR. Tillman
stated some undesirable truths, but his
epithets were injurious and should not
have been allowed Such attacks are out
of order, because they lead to recrimina-
ton and destroy the independence of the
different departments of the government.
The only explanation of Mr.. Tillman's i'm
munity is that Cleveland had no friends in
the senate, and they were glad to have the
pitchfork stuck into him.
The senate has changed a good deal
since Mr.. Ingalls, was a member of it, al
though that was only five years ago. II he
returns, he Will find it very different
body. He commented on this fact and said
he believed il was more nearly a popular"
body now than was the house OF represent
atives.
asked Mr.. Ingalls, if the people Of his
state had any preference among the can
didates for the Republican nomination.
1.-The people of Kansas, he said, have
no prejudice against any of the candidates.
They would support any one Of them
warmly. But the people Of the west and
south are strongly drawn toward Major
Mckinley. Mr. Reed has New England
behind him. but be is not so popular per-
sonally with the people Of the west. Mr..
Morton has New York, / believe, and Mr.
Quay has Pennsylvania, but when you get
outside the circle of the bosses the pcO-
pie seem TO have a strong liking for Viii
liam Mckinley"
How about Allisons' l asked.
Mr.. Allison would be n very safe, con-
servative president" said Mr.. Ingalls,.
He generally withholds his opinion until
he has ascertained what everybody else
thinks. But Mr. Allison is not intimate
with the people Harrison would have
been the ideal candidate if he had not
withdrawn, though perhaps ii was a. well
he did, since he had the bosses all against
him. There * something very attractive
to the people in the personality Of Mr.. Nc-
kinlev. A man who entered the army As
q private and came out, not as brigadier
general. but as q simple major, has d
strong claim On public sympathy, AID Ar.
Mchinley's domestic life - an idyl- he
Is obEging. too, and several times, when
the result Of an election in our state has
been in doubt, he has come out 70 help Is
and ne did not stand apart on pedestal
TO be admired afar OF. but be spoke from
the tail Of cart or from car platform,
wherever the multitudes were gathered
together 10 see and hear him lie made
pleasant impression Throughout the west"
