An against" Party.

In a speech at Des Moines. Ia, in
September. 1888, Gen. Harrison thus
rIIr or rne character and record of the
democratic party:
What does the democratic party
stand for? What are its principles
What new direction would be given to
the ship if the helm should pass into
the hands of the democrats2 know
what that party has been against. 1t
has been an against" party. 1t was
against freedom in Kansas; it was
against the war; it was against the
draft; it was against emancipation; it
was against greenback currency; it
was against reconstruction; it was
against the amendments; it was
against the ku-klux laws; it was
against the civil rights bill; it WAS
against the act to strengthen the re-
sumption of specie payments; but it is
not against any of these things now
it is underneath them. The country
in its grand sweep has left all these
things 10 history; they are no longer
subjects of debate-they are historical
facts; brilliant and eventful epoch.
We have climbed the rugged and
bloody pass. The lowering clouds
have lifted or have fallen in refreshing
showers. 1t is a time of peace and of
amazing prosperity throughout the
land. So far as legislation and public
administration can shape the course OF
events. these things have come be-
cause of the wise, courageoes and pat
riotic legislation of the republican
party; they have come because the
democratic party has been in minori-
ty. There was long period in the
history of our country when, as l had
occasion to say once before, the demo
crat party seemed to be playing with
our country the child's game of
teeter." When the democratic party
was up the country was down, and
when the country vas up the demo
cratic party was down.
1t is pretty much the same old party
now that it was when Gen. Harrison
drew this picture.

The estimation in which Gen. Ben.
Harrison is held by the people of his
own state is clearly shown by the fol-
lowing tribute to his character by ex-
Senator Jos. T.. Mcdonald, one of the
most prominent democrats of Indiana
in an interview published in the New
York Herald:
you inquire what I think of the
nomination and the prospects of the re-
publican ticket9 Well, General HAIR
rison is a lawyer of great ability, integ.
rity and personal honor. His public
life has been free from stain and his
domestic existence is Il model for men.
This campaign cannot be given over to
mud throwing. The democrat who at
tacks General Harrison on personal
grounds will commit n grave error. 1t
must be on the line of party princinles

unfeigned respect for Ben. Harrison.

WASHINGTON LETTER


WASHINGTON, July D, 80.
Senator Hoar will, on Tuesday. de-
liver speech against the ratification
of the fisheries treaty. A powerful ar
gument is confidently expected, as the
Senator is thoroughly familiar with
the subject.
General Harrison's father in law, a
we'll preserved old gentleman nearly
ninety years old, Is resident of this
city, and clerk In the Pension
Bureau.
The republican members of the Sen
ate committee on finance have, after
consultation with their party associ-
ates in and out of Congress, fully de-
ternined upon the substitute which
will be offered in the Senate for the
Mills bill, which now seems almost GER
tain of final passage by the House,
though some time may yet elapse be-
fore it does. The substitute will be a
model of brevity, containing only
three paragraphs: one to repeal the in
ternal revenue tax on tobacco in every
form; one to repeal the internal reve-
nue. tax on alcohol used in the fine
arts. and one to reduce the tariff on
sugar fifty per cent.
The nomination of M. w. Fuller, to
be Chief Justice has been reported to
the Senate from the Judiciary Com
mittee, without recommendation.
The republicans of that committee re.
fuse to make a favorable report, sim.
ply because they consider the mental
caliber of the man too small for the
great Office, and owing to the absence
of any proof of wrong doing they
could not make an unfavorable re.
port. Little doubt exists of his con-
firmation early next week, all of the
democrats will vote for him, and at
least four republicans have expressed
their opinion in his favor.
Hon. ID. Il. Littler, of Illinois, a
member of the Pacific railroad com
mission in this city: He says Harri-
son and Morton will carry Illinois by
from $4,000 to 10000 majority.
Speaking of the general situation, he
said: 1.-The situation in a nut shell is
this. The republicans have strong
presidential candidate, but the plat
form is even stronger than the candi-
date. The tariff will be the fight.
But there is going to be good deal of
LOG cabin" in the campaign. good
deal of old fashioned enthusiasm,
which will count for Harrison, who is
sure to be elected"
The House committee on elections
has decided, by strict party vote, to
steal the seat occupied by Mr. FELTON,.
OF Cal, and give 1t to Mr.. Sullivan, a
democratic free trader, so rs to get an
mother vote for the Mills bill. 1t
remains to be seen if the democrats of
the House will be SO shameless as to
ratify this theft.

The Democrat says that Harrison has
a record. To be sure he has, and it is
IA good one. He was not a member of
the Dog Fernel Rangers" like the
parties heading the democratic ticket
or Jesse ID. Bright, of Indiana, who
was expelled from the United States
Senate for his reasonable practices; or
Senator Voorhees, who cringed like a
whipped puppy when his butternut
record was given in the Senate Got a
record. Be sure he has, but it does
not resemble that of the Great Apostle
of the democratic party, jeff. Davis,
who is now posing as a martyr.

NORMA,

At her home near Sublimity
March 4th 1855, after painful anC
lingering illness, Melcina, beloved
wife Of VIM. n. Smith, departed
this life. Sister Smith has been fOl
more than twenty years a happy
wife, and tender loving mother
Her pure spirit doubly chastened by
the cares Of her family and natural
ly frail body, has quilted its earthly
tenement, to take up its abode in
the beautiful beyond. Living, she
was loved dying, she is sincerely
mourned by kindred and large
circle of friends.
"Lay back the quiet form, and
smooth
The dark locks from the waxen
brow
And place upon the icy breast
The cold hands that are folded
now
For our sisters work is finished,
though not so the impress of her
gentle teaching.
Sadlywe in the grange shall miss
her bonnie bright face, and words of
counsel. We take comfort in the
thought:
"Ihey never quite leave us,
Our friends, who have passed
Through the shadow of death,
To the sunlight above"
\ thousand sweet memories like
the perfume of rare flowers are hold
ing them fast. The works which thev
left, the books which they read /;
the vacant chair, the empty plate,
the untouched pillow, the wanted
caress and gentle word, all speak
mutely, Yet eloquently Of our dead.
Therefore be il
RESOLVED, That Turner Grange
feels deeply the loss of sister Melci-
ma Smith, and that We tender our
sympathy 10 onr bereaved brother
and family, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that our charter be
draped in mourning in her memory.
and that copy OF this memorial be
given 10 Brother Smith and copy
