Ex-Governor Porter, of Indiana
then presented the name of
GENERAL BEN HARRISON,

GENERAL BEN HARRISON.
He said, in brief: In 1888, as in 1880,
Indiana seems likely to hold the key
that will free the letters that have been
| bound around the Republican party for
| four years. She is always a close state,
but properly and tremendously worked
has never failed to elect Republican
candidates. She has never been better
organized than now. The preliminary
WorK has never been more complete
than now, and the Republican masses
seem never 10 have been more highly
| aroused and eager for struggle. Give
Gen. Benjamin Harrison commission
| to lead them, and they will immediate
iy fall into line with enthusiastic conf
dence as to victory. The convention
that lately met at st. Louis disap-
pointed the Democrats of Indiana by
refusing to place an Indianian on the
ticket. Inc present condition of Indi-
ana is such that the Republican party
holds the Opportunity. Benjamin Har-
rlson was never guilty of mentioning
his ancestors to gain a public end. His
reliance is his great forte.
Senator Hlscock then presented the
name of
CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW.
That name, he said, would be the inspi-
ration OF the country. His name was
dear to all Republicans. His counsel
had led them and would guide them,
his influence had electrified them and
would continue to inspire them. His
broad and StatesmanIlke utterances
bad long commanded the respect of the
people, not of New York alone, but
wherever he was heard. AS Chief
Magistrate of the Republic, his superb
abilities. his marchless executive
equipment. his thorough knowledge of
affairs, his broad comprehension of
public interests and the nation s cspaci-
ties, his perfect integrity, his business
and consideration of the rights of men,
his fidelity to Republican principles,
would assure an administration promo
tive of national development and prog
ress. If hewere nominated. theRepublicsn
party would not be CO mpelled to make
defensive campaign. True he was
pc sldent of a great railroad corpora
ton, but there was not a farmer, a
freighter, mechanic or a common
laborer in New York who would vote
against him for that.
AT 1916 pm, the convention took a
recess until O'Clock.

REFORM IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
DEFENDERS OF THE UNION

cannot be measured by laws. The legisla-
ton by Congress should conform to the
pledges made by loyal people, and be so
enlarged and extended as to provide against
the possibility of any man who honorably
wore the Federal uniform becoming an in
mate of an aims house, or dependent upon
private charity in the presence of an over
flowing treasury, 1t would be public scan
DIAL to do less for those whose valorous SER
vices preserved the government. We de-
dounce the hostile. spirit shown by
President Cleveland in his numer-
GUS vetoes of measures for pension
relief, and the action of the Democratic
House of Representative in refusing even
consideration of the general pension legis-
lation in support of the principles herein
enunciated.
We invite comparison of patriotic men of
all parties, and especially all workingmen
whose prosperity is seriously threatened by
the free trade policy of the present admin
istration.
The reading of the platform was re-
ceived with frequent bursts of applause,
especially the tariff plank, which Gre
ated great enthusiasm.

The Salt Enterprise.

The Mayor and Councilmen have pas
sed an ordinance calling for a special
election in this city to vote e1O, 900
in city bonds TO purchase stock in
a company with a capital stock Of $780,
600, the purpose of which is to establish
salt works within the limits of Great
Bend. AS we understand it, the prop
osition is that as soon rs the bonds
are voted the company is to 60 to work
putting down their wells, putting up
buildings, etc., and no bonds are to be
turned over, nor stock subscribed by
the city until the plant is in successful
operation and turning out an average
Of 400 barrels of salt per day. Wheath-
er or not we shall have this manufac-
turing industry at Great Bend depends
upon the voters of the city. We hope
next week to give more detailed des-
cription of what the plant will be. In
our own mind we are satisfied that a
manufactury of the capacity proposed
would be of vast value to Great Bend,
and as soon as one establishment of
the kind was successfully running
Others would follow.
