Breaking Down.

Pbi!adelphia American.
In truth the Democrats seem to be breaking
down more utterly as regards the use of all
legitimate means of electioneerine than at any
time since 1872. Even Mr.. Voorhees,, notable
Tor his qualification on the tariff question. can
say nothing against General Harrison of more
moment than that he was . sturdy opponent of
the Greenback craze, when that was prevalent
in Indiana. And this as the representative
spokesman Of q party which processes its devo-
ton TO hard money and the honest payment OF
the public debit Mr.. Voorhees, really should
spare his party the recollection Of its unhappy
plumbers. He next will be asking the Knights
of the Golden Circle to vote for Mr.. Cleveland,
on the ground that General Harrison went into
the war. while his opponent sent q substitute.

Solid for Harrison.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
j. G. Kolsem, the Mayor of Terre Hauts,
Ind, stopped over in Pittsburg. yesterday,
while en- route to his home. Mayor Kolsem was
seen at the S~eventh-avenue Hotel. He is q
strong Republican, aud had been up to New
York to give Quay and his associates some
valuable pointers on Hoosier politics. He is
confident Indiana will 60 Republican. The
people are proud Of Harrison. aud if for no
other reason would support him out OF State
pride.
Mr.. Kolsem said there was no truth in all the
talk about the dissatisfaction of the working
men. The Democracy tried hard to get up .
meeting of workingmen in Indianapolis in oppo-
sition to Harrison, but it resulted in failure. The
Greenback element does not cut much of a fig
ure, though Dan Voorhees, has been catering to
them with fulsome fattery.

said not much talk lie heard, but they are all
hard at work under the skillful management Of
Quay.

There were sure signs that Mr.. Cleveland
would not be q popular candidate long before
the st. Louis convention, and all Of those signs
are fully justified by the events since then. On
the other hand, the Republicans are everywhere
united, ~factional fights are not heard from, the
practical work Of the campaign is being vigor-
ously pushed, the candidate is universally ap-
proved and is making his strong personality
felt more and more. Whenever there is a pub
lie meeting there is unbounded enthusiasm. con
verts to tho protection principle are pouring 10.
and every thing looks bright and hopeful. These
are signs Of the times which may be useful to
President Cleveland in composing that great
letter.

His Course I'm the Campaign Proves the
Wisdom Of tho Chicago Convention.
Philadelphia Press.
General Harrison starts on Monday for the
first brief rest since his nomination. In this
well-earned repose he will carry with him the
increased respect, confidence and admiration Of
the American people. He has borne himself
through the most trying ordeal to which . pub
lie man can be subjected with u~nfailing judy
ment. skill and ability. Through two months of
constant speaking and public inspection he has
not made q mistake, and no friend in all the
broad land can reproach him with having said
or done q single thing to bring harm to the great
cause which Is intrusted to his leadership.
His speeches have been singularly apt, varied
and judicious. He has received and ad-
dressed many delegations Of many differ
emit classes, and he has never failed
to say the right thing in fitting
phrase. Speaking in most cases extemporane-
ously, without preparation beyond the little
generalization which the brief intervals per-
mitted, his diction has been graceful, his senti-
ment has been just and appropriate, and bis
reasoning has been pointed and concise. With
out entering upon any extended discussion.
he has struck to the core OF the
question he has touched, and his
speeches abound in epiprams which
will serve as maxims for the campaign. He has
shown the fertility OF resource and readiness of
faculty which enable a public man to acouit
himself we'll on all occasions. and which the

representatives. Those who had followed his
career in the Senate as one OF the ablest and
readiest debaters of the entire body, and those
who knew him as the admittedly foremost law
yer OF q distinguished bar, could measure This
intellectual power; but the demonstration Of
the past two months have given those who are
less watchful of public affairs and men a new
conception of the high quality OF the Republican
stsndard-bearer
There was a very general conviction at the
close of the Chicago convention that the nomi-
nation of Gen. Harrison was the best possible
outcome of It's deliberations. That conviction
has been d~eepened by the developments of the
succeeding period. The Republicans of the
country have seen nothing to regret, but
everything to confirm their conclusions
and strengthen their confidence. The two
months that have gone BY have shown q
party absolutely united. large and continuing
gains from the opposition, q cause and an issue
that are invincible, and q candidate whose life
and character are as stainless as his ability and
eloquence are inspiring. General Harrison has
disclosed no weak point, and his adversaries are
silenced as his supporters are erati6ed. The Re-
publicans OF the country will fight the battle
with the feeling that they have q candidate who
is emineutly worthy of their own leadership and
of the highest honor of the Republic.

Act of Democratic Hood,ums.

Some of the delegations that have been visit
ipg Indianapolis to pay their respects to General
Harrison, are complaining of their treatment at
the hands of Democrats. Last Friday night, as
the j., ii. & I. train bearing the johnson coun-
~ visitors was leaving the city, some miscreants
threw stones at the coaches. crushing the glass
in the windows and iniuring several persons
quite seriously. Clarence Tracy. son of Captain
Tracy, OF Greenwood. received q cut in the face,
and Watson Wishard, son OF DR.. j. NJ. Wishard,
Of the same place. received a wound upon the
head. Other passengers whose names can not
be learned were more or less injured by flying
glass. A good many of the Indignant passen-
gers favored stopping the train aud capturing
the miscreants. but it was not done. Those
who were injured think the proper authorities
should investigate the outrage. and punish the
perpetrators of it.

Each party brings forward It's men;
The glee clubs in music are toiling.
Each editor works with his pen.
While Democrats hold on 20 Grover,
And boast of his st. Louis call
Republicans seem in high clover
To roll on Ben Harrison's ball.
Chorus-To roll on Ben Harrison's ball,
To roll on Ben Harrison's ball;
Republicans seem in high clover
To roll on Ben Harrisons ball.
The East loudly sings Of protection.
The West will join in the refrain
Mechanics won't aid the election
OF big Grover Cleveland again.
His vetoes of pensions look badly,
No soldier will answer his call;
Our gray headed veterans gladly
Will roll on Ben Harrisons ball.
Chorus-Wil roll on Ben Harrison's ball, etc.
Some few may cry out Prohibition.
And Democrats, smiling, give THANKS
For many who take that position
Come out of Republican ranks.
But all the good men of the Nation
Can answer the temperance call,
Can aid in the country's salvation,
And roll on Ben Harrison's ball.
Chorus-And roll on Ben Harrison's ball, etc.

And roll on Ben Harrison $ ball.

A Simple Lesson of Figures.

Portland Ureg0nian.
In 1859, after Q long period Of low tariff, we
produced less than two pounds of wool per capita
of population; in 1879. after a long period of pro-
lection, the produce had risen to nearly FIVE
pounds per capita. In 1859 We imported of
wooden goods 81. 80 per capita; in 1876 only 20
cents per capita. That is. during the two dec
AIDES ap enormous industry had been developed
in our country which previously had been weak
and lapguishing. These figures tell their own
story. No comment could make clearer the
facts they convey.
