Gen. HARRISON and the South.
zen Harrison, In a fourth of JULY adj
dress at Cheviot, Ohio, 1888, said, that
THE DISCUSSION ON THE SUBJECT OF
EMANCIPATION IN THE NEW SLAVE
HOLDING STATES, is EQUALLY INJURI-
Gus TO SLAVES AND THEIR MASTERS.

Harrison against the Abolitionists.
The hlghminded and honorable editor
OF the Alexandria Gazette-a paper that
the Richmond Enquirer often speaks of
IN terms OF praise-says; With a spe-
cles OF dlslngenuousnesS, condemned by
all appropriated men, some of the Adj
mlnlStratlon party, especially those in the
Legislature of Virginia, have ansiuuated
that Gen. Harrison is friendly to the ab-
olltionis,s. We say insinuated, for thew
nave NOT had the manliness to make the
charge openly. We feel authorized to
say, that the insinuaIion is as false as the
direct charge would be base. Gen. Har-
rlson has no political or personal COM
mqnion with the abolitionists. He is op-
posed utter y to all their schemes and pro-
Jects. He is opposed to their proceed
lngs with regard to the District of Co,
lumbla, and he is in favor of maintain
ing the rights of the South, as guaranteed
IN the Constitution of the United States. "
