THE Two MEN CoNTRAsTED-wHICH SHALL
sUCCBBD GOVERNOR HEND&ICKs WHEN
HE BECOMES VICE PRESIDENT.
To the Editor OF the Sentinel.
SIR-Ghe people of Indiana will In a
few days be called upon to choose between
the two gentlemen whose names appear
above for governor of the state of Indiana
for the next four years. Let US look al
them. Mr.. Williams, the Democratic can
didate, is a plain, unpretentiOus farmer,
who has served the people of mis- county
and senatorial district for thirty years
more recently has represented the district
ia Congressman at Washington be main
tanned the same quiet, honest and dignified
department tuat ne splays at home. He
nss risen to the proud position of a can0l-
late Tor the fret place in the gift of the
people Of this stale by gradual progress
sion, while every step mss been scruLinlzed
oy the pnolic. While not brilliant ora
tor, he knows the o kings of our state
government as well as any man in 1t. He
may not be able 10 go into the court room
aud oy Ingenious argument save villsit
from The penitentlary, but he knows thu
laws of the state OF Indiana better than
Gen. Harrison, tor he has been identified
with all state Legislation for many years
His b. ms Is on the farm. He never lived
anywhere else, nor did ne ever claim any
other business or vocation. As 8
servant Of the people in high places,
be does not feel called upon to change the
cut, fashion or texture OF his dress. The
great majority OF his constituents have a.
ways been farmers, and bis dress as well
As his manners proclaim him heir rtp g.
sentative. He is pleasant and affsble, geD-
erOus aud just, temperate and moral. He
meets mis- fellow citizens with q hearty
shake OF the hand, his own q brawny,
nonest one, the companion of a big ana
honest heart, and II elected governor, OF
which 1 do not entertain a doubt, Will
carry into the executive mansion the same
sim Dlicity that belongs to the people he
so fifty represents, and will command the
respect OF all the people except the kid
gloved snobs and tools.
GEN. HARRISON
is born aristocrst; a man of fine natural
ability, and the most careful and polished
training. he possesses none of the com
mon vices, and is an orator of strength
de is lawyer, and stands in the front
row 10 his profession in this state. He
dresses with scrupulOus nestness and care,
and preserves his complexion with all the
q
blonde, and fair to look upon, aud grasps
the hand of q national banker, or any
other capitalist, with beautiful hand as
soft as girls. Ii was never sOIled by the
UGH OF lsborers' and elegant kids pre-
serve their wilderness through
all the seasons. He is a pro-
lessor of religion who believes
thai no human being will ever see para
disc who does not belong to his church.
de has In his veins the blood OF an illus.
trioue ancestry, but 1t Is as cold as the
blood OF q frog. Put a SNOWFALL in his
mou. 10 January and it would keep until
the 4th OF July. He points with undis-
ga sed pride to bis pedigree and rejoic s
that he is not of the common herd. SnOulo
ne De elected Governor he would, no
doubt, discharge the Duties of the office
with ability and on state occasions would
be pointed out as a verv handsome man
aud bis dress won d be isultless. His re-
ceptioDs would sparkle with diamonds
and silks and nice young men OF sristo-
cratic psrents, with unsullied pedigrees
~ould speak of his entertainments as
"high toned and perfectly splendid"
Inese foe pictures OF the two men are
true to lie. The first is the representa-
i've OF the psople who labor with their
hands and that class who like plain hon.
esty answering integrity democratic sim-
| piicisy and a reverence for the maxim
"psy as you go" The other represents
| big lite, poetry, patent leather boots aud
loud eatcn chains, msnsard roofs and big
organs, tie young men who part their
ba In the middle, opera glasses and CO.
logDe water, rattan canes and spotted
dogs. L. such = battle the friends OF Mr.
| WI ANS have nothing to fear. j.
