w. Apologize, Printer" Under this com
prehensiye and explicit title are given
to the world twenty -eight rip-roar-
ng so ngs, adapted to the popular tunes
Of half century ago and all OF them more
or less saturated with hard cider The
"Hurrah Song Virginia Cider, "

"Tippecanoes Raisin'." Should Good
Old Cider be Despised" and others indi-
cate the hilarious tenor of the campaign
Of 1910. These songs did royal service
for General Harrison, but they would
hardly do to use in these days Of Prohi-
bitionists and the Third party
Ar. Negendank also left at this off &c
"The Harrison Almanac" which was
published by j p. Citing, successor to
Samuel Colman, SO Gold street, New
York, in 1S4l These almanacs were
for sale by the TrinciIalhook sellers at
'price-$4 per hundred. This almanac
IS made up largely of anecdotes, brief
biographical sketches in incidents of the
life Of General William Henry Harrison.
1t is also illustrated with a number OF
wood cuts, which serve to emphasize the
more conspicuous deeds of the hero of
Iippecanoe. A comparative table
between General Harrisons vote
in 1856 when he ran against VanBuren
the first time and the vote of jackson in
1882 when the latter had very little OPP
position, IS made to conduce to the good
feeling Of the Wings. Harrison polled
j52 5U2 votes in She United States in
1886, of which Delaware gave him 4. 1874
jackson polled 5j7 $50 in 1882, of which
Delaware gave him 4, 10. Several songs
Tighten the serious eulogy and history of
the book among them being Ivan and
the Farmer" "The Farmer of North
Bend, should Brave Old Soldiers be
Forgot, etc The election in 1910 was
held on Monday, November ?.
