Gen. Harrison and the Irish.

Irish American citizens hold in grateful
remembrance the utterances of Gen.
Harrison in behalf of oppressed Ireland.
In public speech and in private converse
ton he has repeatedly expressed his SYM
pathy with the cause to which Parnell
and Gladstone are devoting their lives,
and wherever word of his in behalf Of
those struggling millions has been called
Tor he has been prompt to respond. The
source of this sympathy is not hard to
find. 1t Is part of the same feeling that
led him to keep secret the whereabouts Of
the fugitive slave when boy; the
same that caused him, later, to leave
his wife and babies and go to the de-
tense of his country; the same that
has drawn out his strong denunciations
of the outrages upon southern negroes
1t Is the love of freedom for all men. The
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness belongs, in his creed, to all
men; and wherever, in the course of his
life, he has been able by word or deed to
assist this contamination he has done SO.
He fought for freedom in the war; he has
labored since for the political enfranchise-
ment of all men; he has championed tho
policy of protection, because it is the sal
walton of the workingmen, and he has
spoken for Ireland, because her people are
striving to lift their chains and be free.
All the acts of his career prove unmis-
takably that the wronged and oppressed,
black or white, American or foreign born,
are sure to find in him defender and a
friend. Journal.

The Battle Ground Of 1855.

The state Of New York Is once more to
become the battle ground Of q presiden-
tial canvass, and again the Democracy
counts upon detection In the ranks of its
foes, as in 1874 and 1884, to bring it to
victory. It realizes that its prospects Of
winning are unfavorable, and that de-
feat, as overwhelming as It is deserved,
Is certain to come IL the ranks Of It's oppo-
nents remain unbroken. Bourbon jour-
nalists and Bourbon stump speakers may
talk gayly and confidently Of the chances
Of the party, but the wiser and more
thoughtful members. are aware that II the
Republican lines stand firm the Democ-
racy Is doomed to disaster In the coming
election.
There are the best Of reasons for the
belief that the diversion from the ranks
Of the Republicans In New York which
elected Cleveland In 1884 cannot be re-.
peated this year. Most Of the independ-
emit Republicans who, repealed by Blaine's
candidacy and deluded by Cleveland's re-
form promises, voted the Democratic
ticket four years ago are back in the old
fold again.
Nor is there the slightest probability
that detection like that which put the
foes Of the Democracy in the minority in
New York forty.four years ago can occur
this year. A hasty utterance of Henry
Clay, the Wing candidate In that year,
made in private letter which eventually
found its way into print, diverted enough
Wing votes In New York to the Liberty
party to give that state to the Democrats
and make James X. Polk president. These
boilers, unaware, however, ut the time OF
thc full consequence Of their acts, on &C
count Of q partial disagreement with their
standard bearer on q question of govern
mental policy placed In power . party
which they had combated during all
their manhood years, and to which they
were Numerically and unalterably hos
tile on every issue Of national concern.
The regret at their folly which these In
dividusls subsequently carried with them
TO their dying day did not blot out the
record which they had enabled the slave
power to make. but 1t prevented any sub
sequent Wing bolt while that party re-
malned national organization. Their
compatriots throughout the country trust
that the New York Republicans win get
out every Republican vote in the state for
the ticket this year.-New York Press.

THE TRUTH or A STORY.
Gen. Harrison's Successful Intercession
for Imprisoned Strikers.

for Imprisoned Strikers.
An indianapolis special TO The New York
Tribune gives the real truth of much
mooted story concerning Gen. Harrison.
as follows:
The editor of The Sentinel assails Gen.
Harrison because he offered his services
in response to q call issued by Governor
Williams Democrat) for volunteer militia
to protect property in indianapolis when
the strike Of the railroad engineers, brake
men and switchmen was in progress in
1877. The strikers took possession of the
Union depot and would permit none but
mail trains to depart. Mayor Gavin, not
having sufficient policemen to protect the
property in case of an outbreak of mob
violence, appealed to the Union veterans
and other patriotic citizens to aid the
authorities. A large public meeting
was held. Nearly every leading citi-
zen of Indianapolis was present. A
committee of public safety, composed
of one member from each ward, was
appointed. One of the most conspicuous
members of this committee was United
States Senator Joseph 4. Mcdonald. The
movement was not in any sense partisan.
Partisanship was lost sight of in the COM
mon peril of the community. The COM

Shaw, Il. ID. Kingan, John r. Elder, Gen.

Sinker. Efforts at mediation having failed,
q meeting of leading citizens was held
which recommended that q committee of
safety to act with the mayor be appointed
as follows: Joseph Z. Mcdonald, Gen.
Benjamin Harrison, the Hon. Conrad
Baker, Gen. John Love "a Democrat), Gen.
7. A. Morris, Gen. Daniel McCauley and
Gen. w. Q. Gresham. The Democratic
governors proclamation shows by it's tone
the peril Of the state and the city. 1t
shows also why such veterans Of the war
of the rebellion as Gen. Harrison and Gen.
Gresham came forward and re-enlisted las
soldiers Of the state to protect the
property of its citizens from des-
truction. When, O few days after.
wards, the strike ended, Gen. Harrison
exerted himself to obtain merciful treat
ment for the strikers. Some 200 had been
arrested for interfering with the opera
tion Of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad.
They had been sentenced to ninety days
Imprisonment, when Gen. Harrison asked
for their release, saying that the object of
prosecuting them had plainly been to
show them that they must obey the law
like other citizens. He was confident
that they would be law abiding. citizens
in tho future if they were released.
Judge Drummond thereupon released
them. Many strikers, while passing out
of the court room, shook hands with Gen.
Harrison and thanked him for his efforts
in their behalf.

HARRISON A SELF MADE MAN.
He Carved Out His Own Fortune with
Hard Knocks.

He Carved Out His Own Fortune with
Hard Knocks.
The Democratic partisans have always,
In paying attention to Benjamin Harrison.
whose ability and industry have given
him high place irrespective Of his political
career. sought to put on the public mind
the impression that he was an aristocrat,
and they have been guilty of great deal
of vulgar gable about his kid gloves"
and his unsympathetic maneuvers, and
all that sort Of vague and silly thing.
And many have innocently supposed. as
Harrison Is an illustrious name, that it
was associated with great material re-
sources. Tho truth is the Harrisons were
Their honor and fame did not rise from
the condition of wealth. and were not as
ISOLATED with 1t.
Ben Harrison when n little boy was Of
intelligence and steadfast resolution In
applying himself to his studies and Of
such manliness that he was looked upon
a. destined TO restore the glory of the old
name. His schoolmates had this in mind
about him forty years ago.
He was perfectly self possessed with
regard to hts celebrity as the grandson of
President Harrison, never referred to the
fact himself or led up to the reference by
others. and when the subject came up
itself. a. by the defamation Of passage
from tho writings Of his grandfather In
the school looks by q companion, that
which he would say was modest and be-
coming.
A few years later his friends thought
no had touch Of the feeling expressed
once by the late Charles Francis Adams
the sense of the disadvantage Of famous
name. As the son of president, and tho
grandson of president, Adams felt that
he had not fair play for his inherent Ca
pacity. Ben Harrison. the grandson Of q
president, and great grandson Of o signer
Of the Declaration Of Independence, and
1t the same time young man with his
own living to make, did not always find
the glorious past help in the hand-to.
hand contact with the present.
But he was stout hearted and acquired
fixed habits Of hard work, and each year
Of his professional labors In Indiana his
reputation as clear sighted, conscienti-
GUS. high spirited and capable lawyer
grew, and he would have been rich man
before'this II he had kept out of politics.
But he could not quite do that. It was In

been. simple In his dress and tastes,
cordial in manners-not ELUSIVE and
gushing, but just and sincereA-telling tho
truth when he said: II am glad to SEQ
