THE COLD WAITER CAMPAIGN.

The most notable of recent acceSSiOnS
from the ranks of the Republicans to
the Prohibitionists, is that of Rev. G.. l..
Morrill,, the athletic and breezy parson
of the Eighth ward. Brother Morrill,
has been a lifelong Republican, but he
most emphatically declines to stand on
the free whisky plank of the Chicago
platform. His ascent to the cold water
ranks means the more that he is great
hustler, and will leave no stone un-
turned to bring others into the fold
with him.
The New York Voice has been COM
plimenting the PrOhibitioniStS of Min
hesota on the nomination of Hugh Har-
riSon for governor, and this week pub
fishes two columns of interviews with
leading men of both parties, setting
forth his high personal and bust
ness standing. The one exception
10 the general tone of these inter
views is that of w. d. Washburn, who
Is quoted as saying Mr.. Harrison "is a
nice young fellow" but he "hardly
thinks he would make a very hefty gov
ernOr." George ii. Miller is quoted as
saying he is for Harrison, and H. T.
Bush says Harrison can count on ten
votes from our place." j. +. r. Foss
Says he would like to see Harrison
elected,' and various other prominent
men predict for him $4,000 votes in the
state.
~
Accompanying a two-column cut the
Voice editorially says: ''Prohibitionists
have a Harrison too, and he halls from
Minneapolis. We don't know much
about his grandfather. but we know
enough about the grandson to recon-
mend him to every voter in Minnesota
for governor of the state. He was
dominated last week, and lively
campaign has already begun. Mr.. Hugh
Harrison, though young man, is the
senior partner in the largest wholesale
grocery house in Minneapolis-Har
son, Harrington d Co. He and his
partner are among the accessions
of recent years, and their cour,
RgeOuS circular letter few
months ago to all their business col.
respondents, urging on them the con
sideration of the new party's claims, is
not likely to be forgotten for a long
time to come. The Minnesota conven
ton raised $1,000 for the campaign
nominated a full state ticket, and are
doing their best to verify and surpass
the predictions of politicians that they
will poll $4,000 votes this fall.'
W. J. Dean, the Prohibition candi
date for mayor, is member of the ex
position board of directors, and very
