PREDICTS SUCCESS.
Former Senator Engaiis Of kansas
 Discusses Republican Prospects.

Washingtcn, Oct. 17.-Former United States Senator John J. Ingalls, Of Kansas. who has been in Washing ton for few days for the purpose Of locating his family fer the winter, lei : yesterday aftsrnocn for Indianapolis, where he is expected to make . cam paisn speech for the republicans. Ar ter leaving that city he will make a tour Of Iowa and other western states. and will address political meetings al most every evening until election day in November.
 MT. Ingalls, in repaly to questions as to the outlook for republican success this fall said:
 ''As q rule, in CUT politics, the party that has carried on a successful war has controlled it's administration for the next generation. The revolution ary patriots retained political power until the x2r Of 1872, and the heroes Of that conflict maintained their supre- macy fer the next quarter Of century. The Mexican war dominated cur p0ii- tics till the outbreak Of the rebellion. ard the republicans have been praci- caliy in power ever since
 '-Whatever may be said about tha defects and infirmities Of the war dia- partment. the fact remains that the re- publican party conducted the Spanish war to triumphant conclusion, with greater results on land and sea than were ever obtained in 50 short 2 time within the historic period. Presiden, lT1T- 1,- at the outset, and by the extFaordi- nary yigor Of his prosecution Of niiii- tary operations when the possibilities Of peace were exhausted, has achievsd the unusual distinction Of enjcying the {. confidence and respect Of the entire 1 American people without regard to i party. Whatever the orators may say about Algar CT Shafter, nobody assails Mckinley.
 Democratic ascendancy in the house Of representatives would be Tightfuliy construed as a verdict Of coldsmna- tiOn against the president, and, So fa- as can judge. the outlook for republi- can success was never mere encOurag- ing than HOW.
 T attended the republican coavsn- tion at Saratoga The politics of New York. while they have been convuisiTe and disturbed by the ambition of rival leaders, may perhaps be considered more nearly as reflex cf national sen :iment than any othsr state in the Union While the enthus asm was no. especially pronounced, it was apparent from every speech and from the re- sponses Of the delegates that national issues were paramount. and that all personal differences would bs renounc- ed in the effort to make the result in November substantial verdict Of ap- proval of the national administration.
 Democratic supremacy in the house cf Teprese entatiyes, so far as tke issues have been formulated in their pla.- forms, would be regarded not only as an indorsement Of the assaults upon the administration, but as a return to the abandoned heresies Of 1896. For eign nations would be warranted in considering it a repudiation Of all the great results of the war and a refusal to accept the enormous benedts and advantagss which the victories of Dewey and Sampson offer the United States in connecticn with the develop ment of the Pacific empire. which is to be the theater Of the great commercial, social and industrial activities Of the twentieth century.
 Speaking about territorial acquisi- tions Mir. Ingalls said that since tha de- structicn Cf the Elaine he had been in more than half the states Of th5 Union and everywhere, among all classes oi men, sentiment was practically unani- nous in retaining all that had been conuuered. This includes the 1890 1s- lands iE the Philippines archipelago varing in size from a dinner plate to the arsa, ofy New England, and every intelligent man recognizes that the cn1y question is whethsr these millions who have hitherto been the h5lpiess victims of tyranny shall be admitted to membership in that great system which is based upon equal rights an6 equal opportunities for all m5n. or re- turned to the barb3ric conditions ( turnei to the barbaric conditions O mediaeValism-
