gsiature, and the Wing People" illustrate this max
i'm as tue in politics as in war.
The selection at Harrisburg was made on principle
Of availability. General Harrison was nominated no,
because be deemed the most fit, but because he
was the most likely to be successful and John Tyler
became his Lieutenant because from his position in
the Republic, he could bring the most strength 10 the
coniederaed party. II, therefore, he Harrisburg ticket
was SUPP ored by some because il had " Tippecanoen
on ITS front, was carried by others because" IT,

men undoubtedly held general, consentancous sent
ment, but they had also differences of opinion. Pre-
