Further evidence will be seen in The letters Of &c.

in his letter Of the 10Th April, Ie1l from Baltimore,
states his nomination n: Harrisburg TO have been viz
"The nomination OF Mr.. Tyler a. Harrisburg was
urged and obtained soteiy upon the estimate formed Of
his character, as It appeared from has acts public
man. and from the peculiar position of the Presidential
canvass OF 1896
Those acts, as far the Bank question was con-
cerned, we have always TO have been in oppos.
ton, and in taror Of that measure. They
prove, moreover, that the denunciatons which have
been INDUCED in from the sources were based
upon dcfper intent than any which could have orig-
mated in The Veto OF The Bark bills on his part. In

The Bark his UNQUALIFIED declaration that it was

no to believe that he is in favor of BANK IN

Harrison has lint one opinion about the Bank, AND

Tyler it is SAID "against such charges shall

And in an article entitled "'Views Of the Richmond
Enquirer reviewed answering disarisition of the En-
qnrer, upon the subject CT Bank of the u. s., tho
"In;ellgrncer," the great central paper of the Wing
party in 1910, has the following passage:
"Though the question Of q Bank is not now before
the country, and dragged into tie present discussion
only 10 help The Enquirer weak cause by an ap-
peal 10 well-undersood p.sndices in lis own State, We
have objection to The discussion which the En-
qurer leads the way. We shall reverse The order,
however, which that print p;rsues, and consider Gen.
Harrison relation 10 the question first lest in the
wide range into which the Enquirer historical view Of
the subject may lead u.s. should lose sight Of what
ile connection has with the qualifications of Gen.
Harrison for the Office Of President crhe U. S. 1t sa
fortunate circumstance that The Of Gen Harrison
has not been mixed up with The question OF Nation
al Bank TO make him obnoxious on that ground 10
any reasonable practical man.
This naturally leads 10 the inquiry, What wero
the real iHi,nticns ard motiecs Of Clay Wings in
their violent denuncialions Of the President? With
the knowledge Of the facts which We have given as re-
CARDS the known opinions Of the President through life,
the question Of Bank and The position Of the Wing
party in relation 10 1t during the Of 1S40, II s
in vain 10 say, that the hue and cry raised against the
President upon his veoes Of The Bank 5!la, from
sincere desire of the wing party Congress to have
Bank, or because they for momen, supposed the
President guilty Of "tTeachery and perhdy, as they
charged. Other and more potent causes must have
listed and did exist 10 account for their conduct They
are be found in The deliberate plot or conspiracy
which, IN our belief they formed 10 place the President
in such situation as would either him TO commit
an act OF high moral tufpltude and thereby render HIM
self unworthy Of the public favor or else subject him
self 10 the ccnsuFe Of The whole Wing party and thus
10 force upon hr RESIGNATION Of his cfice. We are
warranted in INDUCING in this bsef from facts which
10 our mind are conclusive. For instance. the first
which strikes our attention, the refusal of Mr. Clay,
at personal interview With the President, 10 receive
or listen 10 any compromise upon the question of
Bank from the President and his rejection of Ewings
bill Thus, at the outset bringing about by his per-
sona action, that very tsunion and discard which tho
President, will BE- seen, N tie letters Of Green and
hompson slrove bard 10 void through The lo.tiest
and most patriotic considerations. But Mr. Clay saw
distinctly that ro,bng could prevent the re election Of
sir. Tyler II lhe c.freDcy question settled. IA
General Green states, 1t was absolutely necessary 10
keep that question open IN order tie seh test
chance of success I" any Other than Mr.. Tyler.
Secondly Mr Bolts, in his Coffee House Letter. Of
August 10, 1871, thus wri;es
"Ont Captain Tyler is making desperate effort TO
set himself up with Ike Loco Fccos but he II be headed
