OUR TIcKET.-THE TICKET.

The national republican convention
concluded its deliberations on Monday
evening by placing in nomination Gen.
Benz. Harrison, of Indiana, for Iresl-
dent, and Levi y. Morton of New York,
for Vice President. The convention
did not arrive at this conclusion hastily,
but thoroughly canyassed the held,
basing its action on a knowledge Of the
men and their relative positions upon
questions involved in the campaign. 1t
was found that both met the require
ments exacted, and they were made the
unanimous choice of those delegated to
act for the republican party in the con-
ventiOn. 1t requires no argument or
reference to facts to convince the rank
and file of the party that the nomina-
tiOnS are the best that could have been
made The apparent wisdom of the
choice causes all to forget preferences
and unite harmoni0usly for the ticket.
1t is winning ticket. Harrison
started out in life with a mascot
from the fact of his having first seen
the light of day in the State of Ohio
the mother of presidents. The grand
son of President Harrison, he is of good
stock. and even after forty eight years
friends of the family will attest appre
citation by their anxiety to support the
worthy descendant of the illustrious
grandSire. AS a young man his life
was exemplary and characterized by an
energy that has attended him through
life, but in his young manhood caused
him to delve in legal and general litera-
ture, until he rose to the first rank in
the legal fraternity. Ability was recog-
niZed by the good people of the lloosicr
state, and he was elected to the honor
able and responsible position OF supreme
court reporter While yet in this Office
he voluntarily replied in person to the
call of his country, and i'll military life
honOrably won the title Of distinction
appearing above and which will only be
rcllnQuished when the electors in Nc
yember next shall declare that by the
popular vote he shall prefix the title of
president. AS United States senator
from Indiana he made a clear record,
which was thoroughly examined by
delegations from all sections of the
country and by all factions, and i'll all
represented at Chicago, there was not a
dissenting voice. On the question
which is generally accepted as the lead
ing issue &C. this campaign he IS sound
and in hearty sympathy with the plat
form. The principal Of protection has
long been supported by him, and al
ready speeches which he made years
ago are being quoted, showing that ne
was in advance of the people on this
great question of public policy. The
state Of Indiana has many times at
tested his worth as citizen and public
| officer. Only by gerrymand"r of con
grcSsiOna districts WAS he dcIeated for
| reelection to the senate.
| Personally Gen. HariSpn is broad
minded, generous anti naghalillh0uS.
| The demonstration at his home in In
dianapOlis when the news of his nomi-
| nation was received was participated
in by members of all parties. They
| knew no craftsmanship in paving honor
and respect to a deserving fellow citi
zen. lie numbers all among his friends
| The samu dignity and Independence Of
thought which has maintained friends
among opponents in his own state has
answered the same good purpose in pO-
ltical life. While his political career
has been uncOmprOmiSing, he knows no
such political divisions as factions. Tn
Fortunate eDtanglementS have not been
made, and on an occasions he has ac-
cppted results as final. pom this day
and previous to the hour Of his nomi-
nation he was interviewed by the
ubiquitous reporter, and when asked II
he would accept the second place, re-
piled that he would not, neither did he
want a cabinet position; he never had
to be placated and whether nominated
or not his zeal for the success of the
ticket would be in 10 degree diminished
