PRESIDENTIAL EXPRESSIONS,

Foolish brethren, the red bandana is
only an exhausted mustard plaster. II
won't draw.-Detroit Tribune.
In nominating favorite son of one of
the two great pivotal States-Indiana and
New Gork-the Convention has made an
exceedingly wise choice.-Reno Gazette.
There is no comparison between Harrison
and the inexperienced Executive whom the
Democracy has placed in the White House.
All things considered, the Convention has
made the best selection that was possible
for its. r. Bulletin.
The Democrats NAV well say, with Rich
ard, Bring me no more returns" as thew
hear from Oregon. There is stampede in
the Northwest, indeed. 1t appears to be
based on good grounds, also. The Oreqoni-
an, the ablest paper on the Pacific coast.
and the most independent warmly sup
ported the Republican ticket in this con-
Installation Herald (llugwump).
In the nomination OF General BENJAMIN
Harrison for the Presidency the National
Republican Convention has made wise
selection. There is no more representative
Republican in the country than Harrison.
de has not only been a consistent and IN
tagging advocate of Republican principles,
but has also earned distinction by fighting
for them in the field. No less distinguished
as q soldier than as statesman his claims
on the gratitude and respect of the nation
are unsurpassed.-Ma,ysciUe appeal.
But what a strange combination is this !:
Cleveland and Thurman. The grand old
man of Democracy, the statesman. tried
and true, gives place to the man of destiny
and rides behind. He is necessary now.
Too old in 1885 to be Secretary of State,
too weak and lnfirm in 1888 to be either
Associate Justice or Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, he is still strong enough in
1888 to run the gantlet of Presidential
campaign, and quite young enough to be
inaugurated Vice President in 1889. Yer
lily the stone which the builders rejected
has become the head of the corner Wash
ingtor Post Democratic.
Harrison presents the unusual combina-
ton of inherIting a distinguished name
and yet being a selfmade man. Though
he was the grandson of a President, he
started in life as poor as any other young
lawyer in Indiana, and won his way solely
by his own ability and courage He had
already conquered recognition at the bar
and in politics before the war came. With
that he threw himself into the Union cause
with enthusiasm, went to the front with a
regiment he himself had raised and made
record as gallant &C that of any soldier
who wore the blue. He lives in State
which is full of veterans and still burns
with the fire of the war enthusiasm. There
need be no fear that Harrison will fail to
carry IndiGna.-O dkSoSd Enquirer.
The people of the United States. without
distinction of party, may be congratulated
on the result of the Conventions delibera-
tons. The issues upon which public senti-
mert is divided are boldly and clearly
stated in the platform, and the candidates
are fitted to carry those principles to their
natural result There are
no weak points in Harrison's record. The
attempt to create prejudice against lin on
this coast on the Chinese question will not
cost cote. Harrison stood in 1873 where
EasterR men generally stood. He did not
co -npreHend the magnitude of the question
nor the urgent need of legislation. The
Burllngane treaty was then in force. which
provided for the immigration of Chinese.
On this coast we regarded che need of lesis-
tation as 80 urgeD. that we asked Congress
20 prohibit Chinese immigration without
cegard to the treaty. General Harrison.
With many others, thought X better to wait
2ntil treaty was obtained as a basis of the
legislation proposed. The Angell Swift
treGty was EOrmed two yeSrs later, and
Senator Harrison mas since placed himself
on record as an oppGE OF Chinese Emmi-
grasian.-S. F. CGN.
