"WHO" NOMINATED JOHN TYLER FOR
VICE PRESIDENTS
This is the fourth time of asking.
We think we have already shown, that the
pretension of the" Whig party" Gas we de-
fined" them and their "postion" on the third
time Of asking,) touching the election of
'IIppecanoe and Tyler Too,"
are altogether arrogant and groundless, and with
out any parallel in the whole annals of egotism
and vanity, not even excepting the fable of the
Fynpon the WheeU Truly, what dust zoe do
raisem said the Fly. And what dust the whole
Wing party, like the fly, have raised in the great
revolution Of the political Wheel that wheeled
Mr.. Van Buren, out, and, rolling with the tide
of popular triumph, brought General HARRlsoN
in.
To show the course of events, after the cleo
ton in 1886, and the means adopted by the Har-
rison party to secure his election in 1910, we re-

the "hedding," " Politics Of the day" and

IAN ADDRESS
OfMe Democratic Republican Central Committee of
Pennsylvania, TO the People Of the United States.
The Central Committee appointed by Democratic
Republican State Convention Of delegates from the
People Of Pennsylvania, which, on the l4th day Of
December 1885, put in nomination electoral ticket
pledged to support that distinguished soldier and civil
ian, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, Of Ohio,
for President Of the United States have been called
upon by their fellow citizens from different parts of
the Commonwealth to take measures for an immedi.
ate and eectual nzaton for the Presidential
paign of 1910.
In pursuance Of these calls such of the Committee
as still reside at the Seat of Government assembled,
and, upon fall interchange of opinions, determined
to call meeting Of their fellow citizens, and submit
to them the evidences of public opinion in this and
other States the position of those opposed to
Federal diciation and Federal misrule, and the
true nature of the crisis. In consequence of this
request, large and respectable number of the People
met at Harrisburg, and recommended immediate nc
ton of the friends of General Harrison throughout
he Union, and appointed Central Committee, who
with members of the State Committee, assembled and
organized body.
That Committee cheerfuiiy respond to The rnani-
resolution lately passed in nearly epery county
the Commonwealth, by The People in their primary
semblies, in favor Of GENERAL HARRISON. They are
however, compelled to express their regret that when
the crisis demands union when nothing but union
the credit system from utter prosraton there
is one solitary exception, and that too in mercantile
communicative alIude to the proceedings of late
meeting in Philadelphia, in which those who parci-
pated have arrayed themselves against the whole
Commonwealth"
The public cannot be at a loss to guess whose dis
organizing partisans composed this meeting, nor to
what deperate clique they belonged.
But the Address proceeds, and adds concerning
tho conduct Of these patriotic dsorganizers, that
"The committee cannot believe that a course so i'm
polite sanctioned by the sober and rejecting citi
of Philadelphia, but that it the of
hecting politicians, who not aware of the suicidal
siobs they giring their opn interests, and their
opn party in the State, and throughout the Union"
For QUE present purpose we have given sufficient
extracts from the introductory part Of the Address to
show the aim and end of the whole; and satisfy any
unprejudiced mind that the views taken by the
mittee, and the arguments they urged, (which
quoted from the ln,ellgencer, and adopted in the
third time Of asking, Who nominated John Tyler
for Wee Presdent7"l could not fail of placing Gen
era Harrison in such favorable light before the peo
pie of the United States, as to secure his election.
Not satisfied, however, with the facts and argu-
ments of their Address, the Committee in conclusion
recommend auxiliary and Interior measures:
"For the purpose of preparing for the Presidential
