we have great pleasure in announcing
TO our readers that GEN. WILLIAM HEN
RY HARRISON having received the MAORI
~ OF the votes of the Convention at liar-
rlsburgh, was unanimously nominated as
the WING PRESIDENTIAL ANDIDATE for
1910, and recommended to the national
wing party for support. Wesaid wehad
pleasure in announcing the fact. That
pleasure is unalloyed; for whatever view
we take OF II, with regard to our own pre-.
ferences, the interests of the West, the
| worth of the man or the success of the
party. we think alike that the choice is a
Judlclous one and cordially respond to the
recommendation of the authorized repre-.
sentatlves of the wing party. They have
done their duty well and have now TO re.
turn to their respective constituents to
claim of them hearty support of their
nominee. Is there one of them who will
refuse il! For the honor of the party we
say, no: and from our soul. we believe
no. They are pledged. bound in no, or
and in conscience by the great compact
entered into with the different State
branches of the party and they will re-
spond to the call that is made OH them and
move on with the mass of the wings and
place the Hero of Tippecanoe and the
Thames,in the Presidential chair.
We know some will be Disappointed
but it is for wings to be generous; many
will despond,but wings must be bold heart
ed and firm. We fear no srhism. Noble
"Harry'' and the gallant Scott would
frown it down; but we do fear apathy land
from that we warn every one who hears
us.
We will not trouble our rea;lers now
with speculations on this event, but give
them the vote Of the Convention and such
news as we have obta ned.
