BENJAMIN HARRISON.

After holding the convention In ses-
sion for one week, first killing
one aspirant for the Republican nom
ination to the presidency and
then another, the BLAINE managers
yesterday allowed BENJAMIN HARRI-
SON, of Indiana, to be chosen. This
result was not a part of their original
programme, but it finally became evil
dent that BLAINE would only receive
the nomination after an acrimonious
and bitter fight. A nomination forced
in this way could not be accepted by
Mr.. BLAINE, because ignominious de-
feat would be assured. 1t therefore be-
came necessary for the BLAINE man
ayers, in order to keep control of the
patty, to make choice between CHAUN-
CEY DEPEw and BENJAMIN HARRISON.
DEPEw, who is the abler man of the
two, had been scared off the track by
the threats of the Northwest, leaving
HARRISON as the only satisfactory can
didate for the BLAINE clique.
1t is reported that JAY GOULD, to
whom DEPEw or HARRISON was per-
tectly satisfactory, had said that he
would spend a million dollars to defeat
Judge GRESHAM; and this defeat was
brought about by taking HARRISON,
who resides in GRESHAM'S state.
A convention whose temporary chair
man was the attorney of the Union Pa
cific railroad, and whose permanent
chairman was the Central Pacific COM
pany's candidate for governor of Cali
fOrnia in 1882, could have no use for
man like GRESHAM, who had bravely
bearded JAY GOULD in the courts and
put him to flight.
HARRISON is an amiable man, whose
grandfather was president for month
nearly fifty years ago. He is an Indiana
lawyer, and served one term in the
United States senate, where his record,
except very ugly one on the Chinese
and labor questions, was inOffenSive so
far as we remember.
Judge GREsHAM'S following in In
diana is very great. He is pop lar at
home as a soldier and citizen. Those
Republicans who would have supported
him with the greatest vigor are those
who are least controlled by the party
machine. They are the independent,
clean men of the party, who believe in
tariff reform and are opposed to
the control of legislatures and
courts by the JAY GOULD mon
Opolists. The crack of the party
lash has no terrors for such men; and
as between HARRISON and high taxes
on the one hand, and CLEVELAND,
THURMAN, and reduced taxation Oh the
other, they will cast their votes for the
latter in November.
The prediction is freely made that
HARRISON cannot carry his own state,
and this seems entirely probable.

ST. CLOUD, June 25.-The Farmers
alliance picnic at Round Lake, near n.
IL. Hunts stock farm, in Sherburne
county, under the management of the
Haven alliance, was an enjoyable one to
those attending. The ladies of Haven
had prepared a bounteous repast for 800
people. but the raw weather kept many
away. The st. Cloud Union band sup
pied the music, and together with the
alliance met Hon. Albert Scheffer, who
had been invited to deliver the address
at the station. Besides Hon. Albert
'Scheffer, President Atwood, of the alli-
ance, was also called upon and spoke.
Ihe following resolutions were offered
by Mr.. Hubbard and adopted:
Whereas, Hon. Albert Scheffer has, at the
solicitation of the executive committee of
the State Farmers alliance, and after care
ful consideration. indorsed the principles
and the platform adopted by the committee; !;
therefore be it
Resolved. BY the voters and citizens of
Sherburne county here assembled, That We
do indorse the action of the state committee
in recommending Hon. Albert Scheffer for
governor of this state;
Il Resolved That we will not support any
man for representative or senator who has
not indorsed and subscribed to the alliance
platform and principles.

ST. CLOUD, June 25.-Coming over the
Manitoba road from Paynesville to st.
Cloud ION freight few days since,
was rather an unwilling but none the
less interested listener to a very ami
mated conversation between two politi-
cal lghts-John r. Howard, Sauk Cen
ter, and ,Mr. Waite, of st. Cloud
wherein the late st. Cloud convention
was most fully discussed, and from the
no uncertain tone Of the two gentlemen
all is not lovely in the Republican camp

seeker after his congressional shoes
will find them to contain a much

whom they spoke of as Charlie. The
Wadena delegation came in for a good
share of abuse from the worthless. Cor
liss was spoken of as being very red
headed gentleman; Barnes, of Moor
head, as not at all pleased, while it was
said by Howard that Barto had num-
ber of Gilman letters which he was go
ing to publish for the purpose of knitting
Gilman. Howard advised their sup
preston until such a time as Gilman
was in the field as an Independent or
regular nominee. Wait thought the
time was now, and would urge immedi-
diate publication. Surely both these
men, as well as many another, have
concealed knife to be unsheathed at the
proper time for the granger candidate.
COmStOck'S record and connection with
the Manitoba railroad was mentioned,
and dwelt upon. but Howard said
he hoped it could be explained away.
They expected little trouble with the
farmer and temperance elements. If
the latter would only keep still until
they had doWned the Democrats, and
once more get into power, all would be
forgiven. With the former it was not
such hardship to hoodwink them. In
other words, they look upon the farmer
as an ignorant, gullible fellow, whom
they can hO0dwink and lead about at
will. Perhaps, with their high protec-
tive tariff (Which robs the farmer) and
their free whisky and tobacco, which
CRATES so harshly upon the ear of the
temperance-loving people, it will not be
such an easy matter to explain the thou
sand and one reasonable objections
which this year will be raised against
their candidates and policies. Surely,
in the Fifth there is uncovered richness
which, when exposed, will smell to
heaven and put the G. o. D. of that baiIi-
wick in the position of the Kilkenny

A SONG.

There is ever song somewhere. my dear;
There is ever something sings alway;
There's the song of the lark when the skies
are gray.
The sunshine showers across the grain,
And the bluebird trills in the orchard
tree;
And in and out, when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering eeaselessly.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole night
through.
The buds may blow, and the fruits may grow.
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sere !;
But whether the sun. or the rain, or the SHOW,
There is ever a song somewhere. my dear.

sociability and smoke become the order
of the hour.
Pendent from the girdle of the visitor
one Will see long narrow, an OblOng,

these utensils of the smoker by silken

knob or mass of carved ivory called a

The netsuke, as to use, is button; as
to art it is Statuette, portrait, bust,
figure, group, pun or riddle, carved with

flowing garments, whose weight fell on
the shoulders or waist, were held in
order by the wide and many folded

Japan, decreed the use, not of the pom

AT first this button was cut from hard
wood, selected from brier and other
roots, as being less likely to burn-an
idea illustrated in modern American

The Negro Orators.

The colored man is likely to hold a promi-

Imaginative, apt and emotional, the negro
has needed only education to make him an
orator. He is peculiarly sensitive to musical
tones, and is wonderfully able to give an ex-
pressive tone to his ordinary speech. When
education is added, he becomes forcible on
the platform. The pulpit oratory of the
negro is proverbially effective.

ELKToN. NOVEMBER "a, 1888.

The decision recently rendered by
the Supreme Court Of the United States
in reference to life insurance is of inter
est to every one holding policy on his
life. According to this decision, the
proceeds of life insurance policy are
beyond the reach of creditors and can
not be claimed by any one. except the
benehclaries named ID the policy. There
are in this country tens of thousands OF
families whose only protection against
pecuniary distress in case of the death
of the husband and father is is a life
insurance policy, and had the decision
of the Supreme Court maintained the
right of creditors to seize this, it would
have carried dismay into many house
hold. In some States this principle, as
lald down by the Supreme Court, has
been established for some time, as it is
held that the proceeds of a policy are no
part of a husbands estate, but this de-
cision has now doubled the value OF
life insurance as means of protecting
a family.
