Republican of the highest and best type,
and when his record is fairly placed be-
fore the people it will compare favorably
with the best. The nominee for vice
president is the right man in the right
place and halls from the right state.
Chicago Times: Gen Harrison is gen.
tleman of unstained reputation, and the
scavengers of the party will vainly seek
for material against him with which to
befoul the political atmosphere. Levi p.
Morton, the candidate for vice president,
is an ideal business man, and has in
great degree the confidence of the people
of his state.
Boston journal: In nominating Benja-
min Harrison, of Indiana, for the presi-
dency of the United States the Chicago
convention has made a selection which
will be cordially approved by the Republi-
can party in all states and sections, and
will be ratified, we are confident, by the
country in November.
Albany Express: Benjamin Harrison,
of Indiana for president, and Levi P.
Morton, of New York, for vice president,
make the strongest ticket that was within
bllS IcdSh VI pIiS blCheU
for which Republicans have been crying
and praying ever since the convention
began.
Boston Advertisers He will be n splen-
did candidate, not vaunting himself, not
disturbed. He will be the leader of the
canvass, as he has led the Republicans of
Indiana in many hard fight to their en-
tire satisfaction.
New York Press: While Benjamin Har-
rison was winning heaps of laurels in the
civil war, Grover Cleveland was quietly
practicing law in Buffalo. The famous
apostle of free trade had in those days G
well developed idea Of the kind of protec
ton which saves the individual, whatever
becomes of the cause
Trenton Gazette: Harrison's nomination
will give unusual and unrlloyed satisfa;
| tion throughout New Jersey He was the
| fayorite here from the first and we fee
| every confidence that he will carry the
state.
| Boston Transcript: The nominee is moi
| dependent on his ancestors for his fame
for his achievements have been honor
ably accomplished by his own services il
the army, in the court room and in tn,
| senate chamber of the United Statest
New York Sun: He is a straight Repub
lican yet involved in no factional AMI
mosities. Everybody who has ever be
longed to the Republican party can sup
port him. Stalwarts, Half Breeds, Blaini
men, ConlSling men, all can take Harrison
without any sacrifice of feeling.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Harrison
and Morton, the ticket, has u sonorou
and resonant sound 1t will undoubtedl
prove strong and popular with the coun
try. Harrison represents the alert, en-
terprising and aggressive west, and Nor
ton stands for all that is vigorous, sol
and resolute in the east.
New York Herald: Mr.. Harrison ha
served term in the United States senate
He showed himself there, as in the pol
tics of his state, vigilant and keen, an
indeed rather bitter partisan; thoroug
going high tariff protectionist; a man G
strong viii clear headed, but somewha
narrow.
New York Press: 1t is doubtful if a bet
ter ticket could have been nominated.

ism, strong in craftsmanship, strong
legal anu business attainments, and lon
before election it will be so strong in til
hearts of all true Americans that it wi
J be elected by an overwhelming majorit
next November
Troy Telegram: 1t may safely be sal
that New York electoral vote is assure
. for the Republican national candidate
J this year. Mr.. Harrison not only bring
: an historic name, but the record of di
tinguished services in the field and in IL
halls of congress.
New York Mail and Express: Gen. Ha
. rison owes little of his prominence or D
} litica1 success to his ancestry. He h:
. won at every step of his career, becau
he has been q true, nobly ambition
: patriotic, courageous, capable and gro,
: ing man. Whether as lawyer, or soldie
Y or statesman, he has always acquitt,
: himself nobly, always done his duty, al
0 always been true to his character al
o convictions as Christian gentlema
y The best record of his career is to
0 found in his published expressions as
/ the questions that have tested his ad
g quacy to the high positions he has oce
pied, in the halls of national legislati
e and in the political campaign where gre
:, issues were decided. OF Mr.. Morton a
i his long and honorable career it is nee
}, less to speak in this community, where
