Ingersoll, according to the Washington Star, being congratulated because he had been indorsed by Beecher, said: “I think it a good deal more fortnnate for Mr. Beecher that I endorsed him.” Ingersoll wants every Democrat in the employment of the Government turned off, which is strictly in consonance with the Flanagan idea, when he exclaimed in the Chicago Convention,“What are we after but for office?” A girl only 8 years old was arrest cd for drukenness at Lowell.
