J. M. Miller, of Council Grove, Kan., was nominated (or congress by the republicans of the Fourth district Tuesday night at Emporia, Kan., on the thirteenth ballot. Mr. Miller is a brother-in law of R. A. Steen, of this city, the wife of the former being a sister of Mrs. Steen. Mr. Steen says that Mr. Miller is a goldbug republican of the rankest kind, but that fact does not impair his other esti mable qualites, and he hopes to see j him elected—in which fond hope the Tribune can conscientiously join him Col. Ingersoll has always claimed that those who have assumed to answer him have misrepresented his position. He claims that in stead of answering his arguments, his opponents have usually resort ed to personal abuse. A discrimi nating public knows that these claims of Col. Ingersoll have too much foundation in fact. It is gratifying to note that Dr. J. P. D. John, ex-president of DePauw University, wishing to be absolute ly fair and candid, before giving to the public his now famous lecture, •‘Did Man Make God or Did God Make Man,” not only made a thor ough study of Col. lngersoll’s works in the authorized edition, but actually submitted the manu script of his general statement of Col. Ingersoll's objections against the Bible and Christianity to the colonel himself, asking him to point out anything that might in any way misrepresent him. In a very courteous reply Col. Ingersoll thanked Dr. John for his expres sions of kindness aod fairness, but did not specify any instance of misrepresentation. Too many speakers, without a careful study of Col. Ingersoll's theories have placed words in his mouth and meaning into his words that Col. Ingersoll never intended, but this charge does not hold against Dr. John. This great lecture will be given at the Methodist church to night. ! SMITH’S SPECIAL—ONE WEEK.
