AS Seen by a Republican.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Republican paper of the West. says of
Harrison, the Republican nominee for
President, that he is unpopular at
home and disliked abroad; not sup
ported by any German newspaper, or
recognized by any German leader in
the United States; not numbering
among his close friends one man who
ever served with him in the Senate of
the United States; hated in California
because he voted fourteen times against
the restriction of Chinese immigration;
opposed in his own State because he is
cold and distant IN his manner, and
identified with every public act which
has ever been adopted which could
wound the sensibilities of voters not
numbered among his own particular
clique in the Republican party; hav-
ing strong support among politicians.
but little among the rank and file of
the party" That appears to size up
the Republican candidate about as ac-
curately as any Democrat could hope
to do it.-St. Louis Republic.

A well-known lawyer, of not too savory a
reputation, here came forward and ad-

REPUBLICAN, DECAY.
Why the Party of Doodle, Booze and
Buncombe Nominated Harrison.

/
| Buncombe Nominated Harrison.
The nomination of Harrison was
made in despair by the weary, worn.
out delegates who had been struggling
for week against the plotting and
| juggling of the Blaine conspirators.
1t was not the outcome of deliberate
choice; it was the only alternative OF
the anti-Blaine element. While a ma
| jority of the convention would have
| nominated Blaine had it dared, there
was a compact and determined minor
ity in opposition, and the more prudent
of the Blaine leaders feared that if
| their favorite were nominated by a
simple majority of the convention he
could not receive the united support of
the party. The Blaine men would not
| go to Sherman or Gresham, and Allison
and Alger were not regarded as at all
available. Sherman's unyielding per-
sistency in his candidacy prevented a
concentration upon Mckinley and the
I convention was reduced to the alterna-
! tive of taking Harrison Or sweltering
for days in the torrid work of finding a
g dark horse" Harrison was, there
fore, "a sort of Hobson's choice or rath-
er q choice of evils.
! What strength has the Republican
nominee9 the reader will ask. No
personal strength whatever. As cold
blooded as John Sherman, he is much
more aristocratic in his bearing.
Without executive training, without
ability or statecraft, without personal
following, he can not fail to prove a
weak candidate. His six years serv-
ice in the United States Senate showed
him to be a man of mediocre taleats
and of slight equipment for the public
service. His name is not connected
with any important measure of legis-
lation. He originated nothing nor IN
any way impressed his personality
upon Federal legislation. He has been
regarded by the leading men of his
own party as a political failure. He
was beaten for Governor of Indiana in
1876 in canvass in which the whole
power of the Grant Administration
was thrown in his favor. He was de-
feated for United States Senator in In
diana last year after disgraceful par
, ticipation in partisan election OF hon
estly and fairly-elected Democratic
members of the Legislature. How
can such man lead his party to VIC
tory?
1t is charged and the proofs will no
loubt be forthcoming that he was a
sworn and active member of the Know
Nothing organization. His opposition
TO the legislation prohibiting the inn
| migration of Chinese was presented as
an argument against his nomination by
The delegates from the Pacific slope at
Chicago. These two blemishes in his
political record will repel thousands OF
voters who might otherwise be induced
70 support him. He is q defensive can
1idate from the very beginning. No
aggressive campaign in his behalf is
possible. His supporters will be kept
busy explaining and apologizing for
his political alterations during the en-
tire canvass. One needs not to be able

LET the slate makers who are for
mulating matters for the charter cleo
ton do their work openly and not in
a corner. San Antonio wants a clean
deal as well as a pretty clear sweep.
1t is a mistaken notion that trickery
is only to be met by chicanery. The
best and most deadly weapon with
which to meet the political and NUM-
cipal wire puller is an open public
movement for his defeat. The cum
ming man knows how to meet cunning,
but he is all at sea when openly at
tackled. The complaints against the
city admins tration are not private,
they are public. They have palpably
and openly done those things that
should not have been done, and par
ticularly here they left undone the
things which they should have done,
and there is no municipal soundness
in them. They have long since sur
vived their usefulness with few ex-
ceptlons, and the time has come to
remand them to the less responsible
duties of private life.

The senate yesterday rejected the bill
to establish home for disabled con-

amending the present pension laws
by limiting the total amount to be
paid annually, to S. 900. The bill pro-
vides that in each county a
committee of five veterans shall
be annually selected by a mass
meeting of their comrades. This COM
mittee will select from the list of APP
plicants, such INDECENT and disabled
veterans as they may deem worthy,
and these will receive pension of
sixty dollars per year, each.

Commonsense Christmas.

Every year our American Christmas
takes a more practical turn. Our
gifts are more for use and less for
show. Some article known to
be needed or desired by friend is
chosen as token of our Christmas re-
membranes. This custom is one
greatly to be commended, as it suits
eminently practical age. Gifts of
clothing, like bets in clothing, become
more popular and more common every
year. A nobby suit or a swell over
coat makes an elegant present and in
many cases solves the question of a
new suit or an old one for the season.
Many Christmas presents of this kind
have been purchased at Wolfson's
White Elephant Clothing Store, and
laid away for the Merry Christmas
morning. If you think of making
yourself or friend present of this
kind, call on Wolfson and he will fill
the bill.

bers, and the Illinois Central railway

THE TIE THAT BINDS.

Men of this age have grown to be as
particular of their underwear as of
their outer garments. No man consid-
ers himself decently dressed unless
his linen and undergarments fit as
nicely as his coat or his pants. The
modern necktie is the real tie that
binds man to good clothes. The Sc
lection of gents furnishing goods has
become an art mastered by few.
Wolfson is one of the few, and he
ranks way up in line. His prepare
tions for this holiday season have ex-
ceeded all former efforts in this line.

man should be. 12-17-6t
