President It cannot be said that these

this ticket as an exceptionally strong one

to the belief that it would have been a
stronger one if the positions of the nom.
inees had been reversed.
Petersburg (Va, Index-Appeal Dem. }
The nominee for the first place on the
Republican Presidential ticket seems to
have been selected more on account of
his availability as the favorite son of the
doubtful State than for any individual
merit Of his own.

nomination were not so clearly the re-
suit OF human wisdom, We could cali it
inspiration

Harrison's nomination is not in any
sense strong one.

commonplace men and their platform q
thoroughly bad one, their own candi-
dates can be easily elected.

0Oo voters in Indiana, remains of the

of it's leading editorials:
'There is one fact that need not be
disguised, and that is that Harrison will
be stronger man before the country
than Blaine would have been. He is 3
man of high character, and appears to
have conducted himself as decently dur
ing his political career as any Rspubl-
can could be expected to do.
A. Z. Mcclure, in Philadelphia Times
(Ind. }: It is just fair to say that General
Harrison is clean, creditsble Presiden-
tial candidate, and his nomination in
vites the country to turn from the
fendish isckals Of low grade politics to
soberly consider and decide the grave
national issues which are to be decided
by the American people in November
next.
