Chief Arthur Pleased.

CLEVELAND, o., June 27.-P NJ Arthur,
head of the Brotherhood of locomotive En-
gineers, in an inrerview to-day expressed his
satisfaction with the nomination of Harrison
for President. :" He is a first class man. -
said Mr.. Arthur and the workingman of
the country will support him. have had
dealings with him, always found him court
eous, liberal, and disposed to be fair to all
interests. His record on the Chinese ques-
ton will not lose him any votes among the
laboring classes, because all workingmen
understand very well that General Harrison
voted conscientiously in the matter, and that
the anti-Chinese cry at that time was raised
by demagogues.'
How will the labor organizations regard
General Harrison -
:" have no doubt but they will give him
strong support. They recognize him as
safe man and he stands on a sound plat
form .

JUDGE ALBION W. ToURGEE puts it in
this way: Not the least significant of
the elements Of the pending compaign is
the fact that the American people are
forced to choose between two such types
as the opposing candidates. By some
sort Of unknown influence, Mr.. Lowell
was recently moved to declare Mr.. Cleve-
land is ''the highest type Of American
manhood since Lincoln Presumably
he was sober when he made the state
ment. This campaign is in the nature of
an appeal from the dictum of the gifted,
but erratic ex-minister As a man, as a
patriot, and as statesman, Grover Cleve-
land stands to-day over against Benja-
min Harrison, and the people of the
United States are called upon TO decide
which type they prefer. The country
cares nothing about the peccadillos Of
the President it has been glad to forget
them. But in measuring him with
another, it will inquire carefully what
each did, said, and thought-what rela-
ton each life has born to the public well
fare. 1t viii put courage, devotion, ac-
tivity, self-sacrifice, outspoken patriotism
and unilagging zeal over against silence,
apathy, self-indulgence, shirking Of peril,
evasion Of duty, and determine which of
these types is of the higher excellence.
In making this comparison, the Amer
lean people will not fail to note that
Young HaTison's views upon National
questions were so well known in 1860,
that as a candidate upon the State ticket
he canyassed the entire State Of Indiana; I;
that two years after he volunteered in
the military service of the United States
and was promoted to a brigadier general
ship for gallant conduct in the field about
the time that Grover Cleveland, a young
bachelor, three years his junior, being
drafted as a conscript, hired substitute
TO fight his battles for him. The one was
a patriot who willingly offered his life
for his country's sake, while the other
preferred to iwitness his country's ruin
rather than sacrifice his personal com
fort. Which in the opinion of the Amer
lean people, is the higher type of man
hood. the ides Of November will deter
mine

THE free-trade organs express great
concern lest the Republican party may
lose the support oflarge numbers of tenn
perance people because Of what they
term the free whisky plank" in the Ma
tional platform. For the comfort Of their
distressed souls it should be stated that
the ultra Prohibiiionists have been for
wears clanorOus for the repeal OF the in
ternal revenue system, whereby the Gov
ernment derives support from our great
est National vice. That was the sub
stance of a resolution adopted by the
third party men at indianapolis. Surely
that class Of people would not find fault
If the Republicans had unconditionally
declared for The total repeal Of taxes on
Whisky and tobacco. But the National
platform does not 90 TO that extent In
order 10 effect needed reduction of the
revenue il is declared that the first step
should be the repeal Of taxes upon tobac-
co, and the tax upon spirits used in the
arts and for mechanical purposes. Then
If there shall still remain a larger reye-
nue. than is requisite for the wants of the
government, the party fayors the entire
repeal of internal taxes. rather than sur
render any part Of our protective system.
The fault-fnding free-trade organs would
retain the internal taxes, not for the sake
of laying any burdens on whisky and
tobacco, but that the cry of surplus may
enable them to abolish the protective
system entirely. That is the real animus
of all the hue and cry raised about "free
whisky and tobacco" There is no moral
question involved in this matter. 1t is
simply part of the great National issue
of protection against free trade. The
Republicans are for protection, Those
vino are not fighting on this line are ar
rayed against US no matter what party
colors they may float.

4 PROMINENT Eastern Democrat says :
"The geographical significance is in the
fact that Harrison comes from the state
necessary for the Republicans TO carry,
and Morton from the State which the
Democrats cannot afford to lose. The
combination Of Indiana and New York
is wise one for the Republicans: il is 4
threatening one for the Democrats" I"
Democrats along the entire line are not
shaking their sides with laughter over
the nominations.

Mckinley Receives an ovation.

CASToS. ONO, June 2S.-Major Mckinley
returned to his home this afternoon from
Chicago, accompanied by his wife. This
evening the distinguished champion of
American protection was rendered recep-

the Grand Army band and several hundred
citizens, irrespective of party.
He responded with few brief remarks,
stating. in reference to bis action at the Chi
cago Convention, that he had never for an
instant wavered in his devotion to Ohio or
0hios greatest statesman, John Sherman !;
and further. that the ensuing campaign was
to be one Of principle, and not Of defama-

THE Republican party orthe first time
in quarter of a century, is an assailant,
with its enemy on the defensive. Its can
didate its platform, and its record are
each the exact antipode Of what its OPP
