Az the national campaign comes to .
close the Republicans may assure them
selves that, whatever be the result Of
next Tuesdays election, they have had
in the race Q standard bearer worthy Of
leading 30 grand q party, and one who
deserved success, and did AZ much by
his personality and popularity to add to
the chances Of success a. any man that
could have been selected. Probably no
candidate for the Presidency has ever
been called to do the amount Of response
to popular demand which has fallen to
the lot Of General Benjamin Harrison.
The outburst Of enthusiasm and senti-
ment in his favor has been something
remarkable, and he has been kept busy
in the matter of acknowledging courte-
sizes from people WOO have crowded into
his native State to pay compliments to
him. The history of politics bears no
parallel to the demonstrative enthusiasm
which has gone out to him. And it is
encouraging to know that down in the
recesses of the public heart there is this
evidence of appreciation Of nat the
country needs. General II rep
resents principles which are OF vital mo-
ment to the people of this country, and
it is because he is the exponent of these
principles that such wave of sentiment
has gone out to him. 1t is the measure,
not the man, and it shows wholesome
attitude on the part of the people.
General Harrison closed his campaign
ing so far as the reception of delegations
and speech making are concerned, on
Saturday, when delegation of railroad
ers called upon him. An extract from
his remarks to them is fair sample of
the keen, good sense and sound opinions
he has expressed during the long weeks
of the campaign. Speaking to these
rallroaders he said:
81 have always believed and held that
the prosperity Of your country, that the
of Its institutions, and its
social order, all depended upon our pur-
suing such policy in our legislation that
we should have In America class of
CdIAAAk nuCQudtC WoSCb
that would bring comfort into their
homes, and maintain hope in their
hearts. A despairing man, a man out of
whose horizon the star of hope is gone
Is not safe citizen in a republic. There
fore, would preserve against unfriend-
y competition the highest possible scale
Of wages to our working people,"
The fact Island it is fact which Re-
publicans can not too gratefully acknowl-
edge-no feature of the campaign has
been more helpful and inspiritlng than
General Harrison's speeches. Lucid,
manly. sensible, acute, invariably Gigni-
led, and rising to genuine and unaffect-
I'd eloquence when the theme and the
were such as to touch his
,wn heart and the hearts of those before
him, they have set the issues of the cam
'aign IN the pure white light of truth.
But they have done even more than
have served to reveal the
nan. In the last weeks of the struggle
which means so much to him, to his parl
y and to the country, he hac stood 20.
ore the people without fear and without
'eproach, wise, steadfast, forceful-and
gentleman.

the most utter injury to the character

in question. In spite of these malicious
stabs the FREE PRESS has maintained its
composure and refused to be brought

personal matters. Tt was not until
Wise dragged his own personality into
the political campaign and begged fol

THE people who manage to get into
the Republican National Convention
at Chicago will stand fair chance of
getting well squeezed. The Auditorium
Building, it is said, will not hold more
than 1000 and ten times that number
are asking for seats and the chances
are that twice as many will manage to
secure tickets in one way and another.
The Dakota Democratic convention
split before it met When the Church
men determined to take from the chair
man of the territorial committee the
contIol of the preliminary organization
of the convention, the Day men refused
to 90 into the hall with the others, but
assembled by themselves in an other
place. The natural result was two
delegations, between which the
national convention at St Louis will
have to choose. Both conventions

One indOrses Church and the other

tation of the Dakota Democracy was

IN the last issue of the OkoboiO
Times the editor OF that ga-lorious
Democratic-bought chcap-shect sad
" dcplores the fate Of \. J. Wasgatt,
who has been a resident of Clifton
these four Years, because that gentle
man has some friends who are out
spoken Republicans Though Mr.
Wasgatt is every inch a Democrat there
is no doubt In the minds OF the public
but that he or any other genuine Dem
ocrat would prefer true blue Repub-
lican associate to Il Democrat without
principle, by purchase, and who would
and does do all he can to assist a
carpet-baggcr to usurp political power
i'll this county, in direct opposition to
the wish and desire ofhis party. Such
a Democrat is the editor of the Times.
When resident Democrats 'labor" with
HIN, he offers as an excuse that he is
to receive patronage from Huron for
his work He represented himself to
be Republican until less than two
Years ago when he became, not n
tariff but tarc-oh man for revenue
only" The WATCHMAN espoused the
cause of neither faction or any person
for delegate as the Times would have
it appear. But then this is in keeping
with Steves misreprcsenting prin-
ciples He mlsreprescnts the WATCH,
MAN as well rs the Democratic party
He says there is but cool Indifference
expressed by the Democrats of this
township rs to the fate of Mr.. Wasgatt' 5
petition, when he knows there is but
one Democratic resident in the town
ship, and he Is a gentleman who would
not sign petition for the appointment
of any one to any office or position
This shows how we'll the Times mar
is posted and that his harangue las
week was nothing more than mis-
representation from beginning to end
wilfully made to shield himself ant
the person for whom he Is striker
The truthtulness of our account O
that convention is not denied by ever
the carpet-bag supporters, who SIMPLY
offer as an excuse that everything i
fair in politics"

The opening speech OF Mr.. MINIS
chairman Of the committee Of ways
and Means, on the Tariff bill, is so
clear and incisive a statement Of
the leading issue now before the
country that we have deemed il a
duty TO onr readers 10 publish it
in full Mr.. Mills opens his argu-
ment with a sledge-hsmmer blow
at the fiscal policy which the Re
publican party by successive steps
have fastened upon the country
whereby the whole burden Of the
national Government has been
thrown on consumption as distin-
guished from property and income.
The internal revenue taxes that
have been excessively repealed
were taxes on property. They
have thrown off from time 10 time
first the tax on manufactures,
then the tax of income. then the
stamp duty, then the taxes on cor
porations, on patent medicines, on
perfumery, on bank deposits and
bank ehetks. an 1888 they fin
this magnificent shaft, which they
have been for years erecting and
crowned it with the last stone, by
repeating the internal tax on play
ing cards aud putting a copper cent
tax on the Bible" This is cpl
grammatic, but it is also true to
the letter, and Is illustrative of the
whole course of Republican tax
and tariff legislation, the whole aim
aud drift Of which has been to put
the burden on the backs of the peo.
pie as consumers, and not as prop
erty owners. This is the issue
that the Republicans have to NEE
in coming campaign. The ''pau
per labor" argument with which
they seek to meet these facts il
/ likewise handled by Mr.. Mills in
mastery manner by showing tina
the rate of wages has very sligh
relation to the tariff, but is govern
ed by the law of supply and de
mand. Upon this point the Bos
ton Journal Of commerce, a protec
ZIONIST newspaper of note, is con
strained to make the following ad
mission:
Knowing as we do that ever
believer in protection to thorough
ly entertain the opinion that higl
wages and high tariff are almos
synonymous, yet we cannot refrail
from expressing our concurrenc
in the statement made by Mr.. Mil
that high tariffs do not necessaril
regulate, in their direct effect, tn
wages of laborers, and that, instea
the law of supply and demand
alone applicable and aecountabl
tor the difference in wages tina
may exist among laborers in on
country or community and another
