HERALD OF THE TIMES.

York, this evening, at the National Hall; and
expressing To them IN person. the grati6cn-
ton with which the Wings OF Ohio will learn
The enthusiasm ind unnDimlty with which the
nomination Of Gen. Harrison has been re-
csved and responded to here.
| Gen. flarrison's hfc from the early age Of
ninet'sn. has been spent in the West, then
a vast and unbrokcn wilderness; and there
his talents and services are known and mp
precinted. There is no important event con.
nccied with it, early history, or subsequent
advancement, with which his name has not
been identified
| Al The age Of nineteen he received his first
coNmlsso from. Gen Washington he wns
aid de-Camp to Gen. Wayne whose sugacty
IN discovering military talent was never at
fault. After five or six years service he re-
signed hie Commission, and was appointed
Secretary Of the North Western territory,
aud during the absence OF Gen. 81. Clair,
which was almost continual, he acted as Go.
vernon. From this same territory in 1890 he
was appointed delegate to Congress. and in
lrodnced and carried thr)' q law, which ]
have no doubt has made more people inde-
pendent and happy, than any single act of
| Legislation by that body. nllude TO the act
for the subdivision Of the public funds.which
reducing the surveys from 4C00 to lG0 acre
tracts. placed il IN the power Of every man
10 become frcchoder. In 1901, he was ap-
pointed by Mr.. Jefferson, Governor Of In
diana. aud continued in that office ill 1912,
" hen he was appointed by Mr.. Madison, Ma.
j"r General in the arnry of the United States.
Af,cr two years service, he second time re-
signed his commission. After the war he
represented his district in tho House OF
Representatives., and his State in the Senate
OF tie United States. BY Mr. Adams he was
appointed Minister TO Columbia ; since thai,
period, 1929, q scientific and practical farmer,
he has resided on his farm, dependent alto.
gethcr upon its produce for the support and
educauon OF q numerous family.
You will perceive from this brief sketch,
that Gen. Harrison is now in his 9th year,
aud that of those about eight years only have
heen spent in the camp. Upwards Of thirty
years have been devoted To the civil service
of hi. country. He has frequently been
elected by the people to the State Legisa-
ture and to Congress, and has received I'M
por'ant public appointments from Gen. Wash
lnglon, Mr.. Jefferson, Madison and Adams,
certainly, not questionable proof of merit on
his part.
His habits Of industry, early acquired, are
bed. Ills mind is active as his body he To-
ses no time, ard every hour not employed in
the active duties Of his farm is devoted TO his
books.
/ If you will permit an intimate friend oi
Gen. Harrison, who knows him thoroughly,
and acknowledges his attachment, to be n
dislnterested witness, | will say that thoie is
no man in our country, who from education,
experience, information and temper, is better
qualified uSefully to discharge the high du-
ties of President of the United States.

So the call of the House was ordered.
The House was then called when 1913
members having answered to their
names, the absentees were called when
9i9 members having responded, The
doors of tho hall were closed, nnd the
absentees were again called.
MIR. llawes, Of Kentucky, and Mr..
Reed, OF Massachusetts, were excused
on the ground Of indisposi,ion, as was
Mr. Rogers, of South Carolina.
Mr.. w. C.. Johnson moved to send
for the absent members. The motion
prevailed,and they were sent for accord
lngly.
The nbsentees were called third
time and several having responded
Mr.. Davis, Of Indiana, moved that
further proceedings in the call be sus-
pended; 4; but the yeas and nays being
demanded, he withdrew his motion.
MIR. Evans modified his resolution so
as TO read as follows:
Resolced, That the Representatives,
of the 2Glh Congress of the United
States now present do advise and request
the Speaker to administer the oath re-
quired by law to the five gentlemen from
the State Of New Jersey who have pre-
sented credentials to the Speaker and
demand to be sworn.
The absentees having been once more
called, and all having answered to their
names, it was again moved to suspend
the call, which was agreed 10 and the
doors were opened.
The resolution, as modified, was again
read.
The previous question wns put and
carried, and The main question being OH
the adoption of the resolution, the yeas
and nays were demanded, and being ta-
ken, resulted as follows:
Yeas-Il2. .Nays--ll6.
So the resolution was rejected.
MIR. Hoffman then moved resolution
that the House adopt, for the space Of
ten days, the rules Of the last House Of
Representatives, with the exception Of
the ll'h, which prescIibos that in the
election of officers the House shall vote
r,ra roce, and in the mean time TO refer
the rules to a committee TO revise and
report them for final adoption.

that smacked of n-worship-every
thing that rould interfere with the pro-
gress Of .e great work before them
had been offered up, with isrvor and
sincerity which appeared to remind the
aged and venerable men that were there,
Of the good old days Of the Republic
All preferences, all wishes, all hopes,
were found to weigh but as dust in the
balance, when the declared wishes Of
the People were ascerta,ncd. Not a
man shrunk from his duty--not man
finched or trembled. And that which
had been unanimous vote of the Har-
risburg Convention, was now repub-
lished to the world as the unanimous
vote, and the solemn determination OF
the great Wing party Of the u. States,
through their Representatives in Con-
gress assembled.
On recurring to the PAST, they found
that Gen. Harrison, who was mention
ed as candidate only few months be-
fore the election of 1886, and not Jy a
regular nomination, made an astonishing
inroad upon the opposite party. and
might have been elected, II his real
strength had been knoicn.
And so, too, when they held counsel
with the PRESENT and interrogated the
FUTURE. While on the one hand, moth
ing had happened to diminish, but many
things to augment, the popularity Of
WILLIAM HENRY HARRisoN--he was
now to 60 before the People IN season,
and regularly nominated. Yet more
inasmuch as the Convention of Harris
burg was made up of aged and expert
enced men, hardly dozen Of the whole
being under thirty-fve, large proper
tion Of the whole over throescore, and
not few from thrcescorc ard ten up
wards-men who had grown old in pub
lie service, and were only anxious to
set their houses in order before they
gave up the ghost; inasmuch as they
had come up from the uttermost parts
Of their country, determined to sacri-
fee every thing but their sober judg-
ments and their honor, to the great
cause they had grappled with; and,
inasmuch as they were unanimous in
the opinion that WILLIAM HENRY HAIR
RIsoN, Of Ohio, and JoHN TYLER Of Vir-
ginia, were The men Of the People
they had reason to hope-had they not 7
that both would go abroad to the ma
tion as no candidates of the People ever
did before. Instead of being nominated
by a newspaper-a caucus-a district
or Legislative body-they were nomi-
mated by the People themselves, thro'
their chosen delegates, in what, after
all, was neither more nor less than a
Congress Of Nations. Instead of find
ing their way, step by step, before the
People, these candidates are presented
mt once, and epery ,chere al he same
Time, before the several States have time
to disagree, or to commit themselves
beyond escape to any other candidates.
