TIE REPgBLICAN CANDIDATE.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
W1en Depew withdrew his name from
before the convention and torew his sup
port to Harrison, the Chicago Tribune,
smsrting under the defeat OF It's csndi-
date, Gresham, which it sew wss newt
able published sesthing editorial of
which the following is snex.ract. It will
be found 10 be mighty interestin'
re2dIn':"
Mr.. DepsW did not know Ct apparently did
not care TO know that Harrison is unpopular at
home aud tisliked abroad, rot supported by
any German Newspaper or gnized by any
German leader In the United States; not mum
bering among his Closo friends one man who
ever seIvtd with him in the SENATE 0. the
United states; hated In California hecsuse he
voted fourteen times against the restriction Of
Chinese mn'gra ion; opposed IL his own state.
because he is cold an j distant in his manners
and iccnll1ed with every pubic act that has
ever been ADOPTED which could wound
the sen5lbiIities Of voters Lot numbered
among his own particular clique In
the Rfpubl;sn party; having 2 strong
support among politicians but LIT e|
among he rank and de OF the party. Mr.
Harrison has ever been elected to ary office
save that OF reporter CT the Supreme court BIZ
the popular vote, and It is not probable that he
ever will be. When It's known IN Indiana
which is Almost as much of granger state as
Iowa or Illinois, that Harrison WAS proposed
for the nomination as the residuary lesatee of
the president of the New York Central Rail
rosd, that his nomination, If accomplished,
would be brought about By railroad ipflu-
enees, he will make EDout as strong run In
n va Of c Nv
no shirking Of the issue, because the facts CT
not be disputed.
There Ia 4 proposition to nominate Harri.on
as the jlnior member Of the frm of Elkin,
Harrison & Co. Of No I Wall street, j)int own
era CT the Harrison cattle bubble CT Montana
and RlsO as the speCial attorney and rcpre
sentative Of the New York Central Railroad
and the Vanderbilt interest.
II, with a PRESIDENTIAL can: idate go ncmI
mated the party shall have the sublime wisdom
to nominate rich man froH New York for
Vice. President, there will be q combination of
railroad and Doodle that will be perfectly ire
sistible in behalf OF somebody whose election
has not besn up to this time thought of in
the Republican convention, mainly because he
is Democrat and 4 rather conEI i1uous mem
Der OF his party.
In the whole hi.tory Of the Republican party
from Its foundation to the present day we have
y
seriously made on behalf OF any candidate, and
we have never known the New York Central
Railroad, whose p.esi lent in bis csracity as ex
ecuiive Of several corporations now er joys d
salary OF $4,000 year, to send It's chief 20 :
Republican national convention with the
serious idea that he could either sc
cure the nomination for himself or die
tate It on behalf Of soms other candidate
nomination SO brought about would not only
involve the party In serious danger, but Dosst-
bly, involve It's disruption and nisgrsce. Never
before have the PlutO3rats so boldly and def
antly dared 10 offer 3 candidate for the APP
proval of e Republican national convention.
'NsVer before have they dared TO put the stigma
o. ostracisn upon those glorious Republican
states OF the northwes! known as the Granger
stEtes-Iowa. Wisconsin,, Illinois, Kansas Min
nSsota, Nebraska, Michigan and Indiana her
self without which 40 Republican candidate
can come within hsiling distance of an election.
