The seventh ward republican, of
Troy, \. Y, have foJrned q club
which will work for Harrison and
Morton. OF the sixty members who
placed their names on the roll,
twenty voted for Cleveland IN 1884.
Among General Harrison's callers
occasionally there is u democrat who
comes to pledge his support to the
republican standard bearer. One of
these on July 10th was Winslow S.
Pierce. Jr., of New York, nephew of
the late Vice President Hendricks,
who is promising General Harrison
his own vote assured him shat he had
heard OF many democrats in New
York who would support the repub
lican ticket.
In the Indianapolis Journal We
read that DR. w B. Fletcher, life
long democrat. and one OF the most
prominent physicians in Indiana,
was one of the first to announce his
allegiance to Gen. Harrison's candi-
bacy and his intention to lend him
bis vigorous support. We also read in
the Same paper that Henry ID. Pierce
of that town has declared similar in>
tentions. Mr. Pierce was lately the
law partner of Judge (now Senator)
Thurpip, and has always been lead
ing member of the democratic party
Straws Of this variety are worth 4
good deal
Maj. McCown, prominent demo
crat of Point Pleasant, ". Va, has
left the party on account of its free
trade sentiments and its hostility to
the union soldiers. He says; "When
the Presidents message 10 the pres
ent congress was promulgated and
at once seized upon by the majority
of the party and adopted as the great
oversheddowing issue of the5 next
presidential campaign, my hope in
the great democratic party subsidized
and / at once determined to abandon
the party which 40 longer represen-
ted my views as to the policy adapt
ed TO best promote the interests of
our common country"
Never before this early in the cam
paign havo the signs of great re
publican victory been So significant.
The nomination OF Harrison and
Morton have united all factions OF
the party, and nowhere does any dis
satisfaction exist. Now and then
some fOrlorn mugwump with decided
leaniDgs toward free trade hops over
to the democrats, but it would FIJI a
paper TO give a list of the solid dem
ocrats who are declaring for protec-
ton and consequently for the repub-
lican ticket. Capitalists who are in
terested in manufacturing industries
laboTers whose wages it improves,
the enterprising American citizen who
has his country's welfare at heart ir-
respective of party Or politics, are as
d unit for the policy that protects
them and their interests. Harrison
has not lost any strength developed
by Blaine in the la It campaign as the
Irish World the Tablet and the
Amei iedn Cetrare are as strongly In
favor of Harrison as they were for
Blaine. The Chinese scare has fail
ed to materialize and the tables have
Deen neatly turned by the recent
statements of Colonel Mosby, late
consul at Hong Kong. The issues
between the parties are being sharp
ly defined and what appeared to be a
lighting chanse for victory has al
most become positive assurance
that Harrison will be the chief exc
cutive on and after the 4th of March,
1889.
