HARRlSON'S POPULARITY.
an Answer to the Democratic Charge
That He Is Not Popular in Indiana.

| The Democrats cite the fact Of Benjamin
! Harrison's defeat for Governor in 1876, and
! Tor Senator ten years later, as evidences
that he IS unpopular with the people Of his
! State. These veraciOuS chroniclerS, how
ever, contine themselves to the mere men
ton OF his defeat. and omit to give the vote
which he obtained and the circumstances
under which the canvass III each instance
was conducted. They are careful however,
! to conceal the fact that ne received, in the
canvass for Governor, nearly two thousand
more votes than any other Republican can
dldate on the State ticket that year. They
neglect also to state the fact that he OBJ
tanned more votes than the Republican
Presidential ticket, although IN active and
earnest canvass had been made to secure
the electoral vote of the State for the Re-
publicans.
III the canvass for the Senatorshp in 1886
Mr.. Harrison met and overcome still more
formidable obstacles than those with which
he was confronted when he was candidate
for the Governorship. The issue in that
year hung upon the choice of members OF
the Legislature. A large number of mem
bers held over, and most of these were
Democrats. In order to secure q majority,
therefore, in the Legislature on Joint ballot
the Repu olicans would be obliged TO elect
more of the members to be chosen than the
Democrats would need. The Republicans,
as q matter OF fact, did elect most Of them.
but they did not secure enough to overcome
the Democratic prepOnderance among the
members whose terms had not expired.
They came so near doing this, though, that
the Democratic majority in the Legislature
on JOINT ballot was only two.
Il viii be seen, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, that Harris0n's popularity with
the people of his State was shown in 1886
even more conspcuously than it was ten
years before. In the latter canvass as in
the earlier one, ne was directly before the
people, and the ballots for members of the
Legislature were deposited with special
reference to the choice of Senator to sue
coed him, and for which Office he was again
to be the candidate of his party. In that
canvass he contended against Democratic
gerrymander of the legislative districts
which had been made to secure the election
of Senator of the Bourbon party. But SO
triumphantly did his popularity set these
difficulties at naught that the Democrats,
who were in q majority in the upper branch
Of the Legislature, were compelled to re-
sort to desperate and fraudulent device to
prevent him from being reelected to the
Senate. They counted out enough Repub-
lica1s to secure them 4 majority IN the
Legislature on joint ballot. But even con-
spiracy and fraud, the favorlte Democratic
weapons, failed to bring the Bourbon ma
iority above two. Those who assert that
Benjamin Harrison is not popular in his
State are either ignorant of the record or
