Senator Ingalls Waves the Bloody Shirt.

Senator Ingalls has written to RaProad Commissioner Greene, of of Kansas the following letter, putting a new construction on his so called attack made on Generals Hancock and McClellan, in his recent speech: / V—.ZTT.T “The Democracy and their allies have, grossly missrepresented me, and endeavored to break the force pf my arraignment by perr sonal assaults, and by distortion of my language. Every man of intelligence knows that my allusions to Hancock and ‘ McClellan were not as soldiers, but as Democratic candidates for the presidency. As such they were allies of the Confedercy, as Grover Cleveland is, and as every Democrat must be who aspires to that office, because be must be elected by the 153 votes of the solid South, whichisaß muubAnaggressive and potential force in our politics a 8 it was in 1860. Unless the Repubhean party has the courage and intelligence to wage the ensuing campaign upon the platform -of etpiftl and- exwt jtrstice to ult under the law they will fail, as they deserve to fail.
