Iished in the Cincinnati Gazette, BY his
own friends, and it is of course by mis-
authority, and it exceeds any thing ever
yet witnessed for its contradictions. eu-
logy OF banks and paper money, praises
oftho old Federal party as the most patri-
otc in the world and his ort-repeated
opinion that Bank of the United States
is unconstitutional. Yet he would sign

would have swOrn TO support! We are

such speeches; but where IS his commit.
tee; has he not friends left who retain
their reason, to at least keep his non.
sense out ofthe newspapers?
Great, indeed, must be the nfatuation
of the leaders of The black cockade and
blue badged party of 1910, if they sup
pose such stuff will be taken for sense
and Democratic doctrines. We are as
sured That vast number who heard his
speech at Dayton declared off from his
support on the ground.
In his speech in Dayton, as reported
tor the Cincinnati Gazette, he saws:
" Have not, time out of mind. pro-
claimed my opposition to a citizens 90
ing forward among The people and solici
ting votes for the Presidency? Have
not many time and often said, that, in
my opinion, no man ought to aspire to
the Presidency of the United States, un.
less he is designated as a candidate for
that high office by the!unbought wishes of
of the people? [Cheering.1 If the can
didate for so high an office be desgna-
led by the will Of a portion or a majority
Of the people, they will have to come to
the determination of sustaining such a
man from review of his past actions and
life, and they will not exact pledges from
him of what he will do and what he will
not do, for their election of him is proof
enough that he will cary out the doctrines
Of his party"
lfGen. Harrison is opposed to /" going
forward among the people and soliciting
heir votes" and why is he travelling into
every county and village, in opposition to

nittce force him out against bis will? If
