and Characteristic Speech. Ks /.
CH1cAdo, June 26.-The first Harrison
ratification meeting was held last night
at the Grand Pacific. The gathering
was an impromptu one, organized by
Sidney Foster, OF Iowa. The room had
been used as the public headquarters for
Senator Allison, as it was usedTour years
ago for Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Foster had
been in charge OF those headquarters
during the Allison campaign. he con-
ceiyed the notion OF inviting the In
diana people in to ratify. Going over to
the Indiana headquarters he invited
them to the Allison room and the crowd
marched down, headed by Mr.. Foster,
exc Congressman Pelle, OF Indiana, B. F.
Marsh and Long Jones, Of illinois, sing
ing "John Browns Body" The room
was filled in less than two minutes and
was crowded to the doors before Mr..
Foster could mount the platform. In
welcoming them Mr.. Foster said the
Iowa people had come to Chicago to help
nominate the man who should be
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
He pledged the earnest support OF
Iowa and $1,000 majority for the ticket.
Speeches were also made by Congress
men Peele, OF Indiana; Butterworth, Of
Ohio; Hepburn, Of Iowa; Senator His
cock, OF New York; Ex-Governor Porter,
of Indiana; Chauncey N. Depew and
others. Mr.. Depew's remarks provoked
much laughter and applause. He said:
"FELLOw CHANGERS, [great laughterJ.

best that could possibly be arrived at.

the gallant soldier, Gen. Alger, nor
upon my friend Judge Gresham-a man

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Sher-
man sat outside the door OF his X street
residence at 0 o'clock this evening sur
rounded by members OF his family, who
filed several OF the doorsteps, aud
quietly smoking cigar. He said that
nomination OF General Harrison was
rather delicate subject for him to dis
cuss. He supposed the selection had
been made upon the theory that it was
necessary to conciliate the States OF New
York and Indiana. Whether that was
a wise thing to do or not was for the
people to decide. Asto General Harri-
sons strength in Indiana he knew moth
ing, and, therefore, did not feel com.
petent to express an opinion. He did
not think General Harrison was much
known in New York; he had never
been there much.
Senator Sherman said that he knew
General Harrison during his single tern
in the Senate, for they had sat side by
side. He was not q conspicuous Sena
tor, his most active service being q
chairman Of the Commilte on Territorie
for two years. He was respected by hi
brother Senators and was o most honor

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 2O.-To

in his office, at the bar, to see his per-
sonal character as his neighbors view it,
to understand his tastes, his likes, his
dislikes, his methods of work, his favor.
ite relaxation--all that is to have in
some more vivid degree an idea of the
person as his everyday intimates know
him.
Though commonly known among the
people here as nRenn Harrison, the ex-
Senator is not given to rude familiarity.
He is intensely popular, yet he has
about him manly dignity that inspires
respect, while it does not repel liking.
l do not believe it possible to find man
in indianapolis who does not know him,
at least by sight, and yet the General
was, never known to.enter q saloon in
the city. His public prominence has no
hack passages leading to 1t that start in
the slums and wind through the devious
ways Of ward politics.
As his personal character has been OF
singularly even growth, the result OF an
upright nature full OF generous traits,
governed by an even temperament and
subjected to an iron will, so his popu.
larity and his influence over men are
the natural result OF q clear, simple,
commanding mental and spiritual stat-
ure.
His manner is frank and cordial; his
greeting warm; his whole bearing at
tractive. He has singular faculty o.
making friends. He has all the courtesy
OF good will to others. Not only are hil
friends legion, but they have the warm
est attachment to bin, as he has 4
them. He Is q somewhat reticent maj
as to his own Affairs, and does not i'm

His long legal training has made him dc

agement and Industry.
A question that is widely discussed
just now is whether farming pays, and.
if not, whether methods can be adopt
ed that will effect a change in this re-
spect. Undoubtedly in many cases
where the years work shows unsatis-
factory results, these are due TO want
of proper management A New
Hampshire farmer. of experience, A.
b. Page. in a contribution to an East
ern paper on this subject, names some
reasons for failure that have come un-
der his observation there which may be
assigned rs the cause of loss in every
county where this business is carried
on. He says:
We often hear the question asked;
"Does farming payP' With some it
does and with others it does not And
whyP Twill give my opinion. There
are many reasons; one is want of good
calculation and management in saving
and taking care of things, not letting
them run TO waste. You may go in
most any direction in the country and
see waste going on; moving machines
not housed, agricultural implements
wing promiscuously around, with
wag gsns, carts, and perhaps sleighs,
and the manure thrown outside of the
barn, with no protection from rains.
Many farmers do not have the luxury
of vegetable garden, which might be
kept at little expense at odd jobs and
afford much profit in supplying a
'amily with wholesome food. And
then, oh my what crops of weeds
The main crop on some farms seems to
be weeds. Can it be expected to raise
good crop of vegetables or cereals un-
der such conditions? This is not inn
sgination. have seen it this past sea-
son. Then too much of the stock is
scrubs, and it costs as much to keep
them as better ones. Then there are
some farmers adhering to old ideas,
not up to Improvements, but becoming
kind of chronic grumblers. II they
would plan and work more, and grum.
ole less, it would be better for them.
The grange is doing much to elevate
the farmer, but it can not reach them

management have much to do with
success. Take 1t as whole there is
no business OF profession that succeeds

can be traced to the cause, and that in
