is the son OF a Methodist clergyman Ben
iamin Harrison, republican can lidate for
! tie presidency, is the son-in-law OF Pres
/ byterian clergyman. Levi =. Morton, ditto
/ Tor the vice presidency, Is the son OF Con
/ gregational Clergyman. CALVIN :. Brlce,
/ chairman of the democratic executive com
! mittee in charge Of the campaign, IS the
! son of a Presby teran clergyman Matthew
/ Stanley Quay, chairman OF the rcpubhcan
/ national committee. is also TIE son OF
| PRESBYTERIAN clergyman, which, with the
| fact that Gen. Harrison is an elder of the
/ Presbyterian church himself, ought TO get
! out the CalviniStlc vote at the coming cleo
! ton.
And the fathers of these men, economical
as well as godly, saved enough out Of tier
| small salaries to send the boys to school and
! college Morton is tn" only one in the list
! who did not have the advantage of a col
! legiate education, although he was born and
reared in the village OF Hanover, where
! Dartmouth college is. Brlce and Harrison
graduated at the same institution, Miami
university, at Oxford, O., and | believe they
were there 1t the same time If not class
mates Prof. Swing can tell YOU all about
them, for he was their instructor, and will
! remember Brice as a wild, reckless, red
headed boy, apt at both books and mischief,
while Harrison was n sedate youth, steady
| in his demeauor, exact III his lessons, and
! apt to be argumentative when he got a
| chance.
| HAD TO LIVE ECONOMICALLY.
| Quav's father lived in the little village Of
| Disburgh, Pa, and never got more than
! $500 year as salary in his life. Brice's
father was a pioneer in Ohio missionary
on the western reserve, and never got more
| than $500 a year. Cleveland's father lived
| under similar circumstances, and yet these
men saved enough to give their boys good
| start in the world, and recent events demon
strate the quality Of their mental and moral
| equipment Brice spent more money in en-
| PERTAINING the Ohio delegation at the St
| Louis convention than his entire education
cost, more than his father received for a
| quarter of "A century in the service OF the
| great master He will give TO the demo
! cratic campaign fund more money than his
father ever saw during the entire course of
| his life. These men are as proud of their
| ancestry they are of their own achieve
ments. They like to tell of their boyhood
| days.
Senator Quay has pew in the New York
| avenue Presbyterian church, where DIR.
| Bartlett, formerly Of Chicago breaches,
| and is "a regular attendant. Mr. Brice IS a
| pillar of the Fifth avenue Presbyterian
church in New York over which the veneer
| able DR.. John Hall presides, and lives
nearly opposite. He has a son of whom he
is very proud, and the boy is situated
rather differently than his father was when
of a similar age. Two years ago he gradu-
| ated at Exeter academy prepared to enter
college, but his father thought he was too
| young aud sent him around the world in
charge of tutor The young man has only
recently returned with his mind full of
ideas knowledge that will be of great
value to him. and will enter Princeton next
| fall
Mr. Brice is a new hand in politics, but
| he will be power from this time on. Any
man who can accumulate $40 0O0, 900 OF
$l5 600, 900, as he has done, and managed
| great interests, as he has managed them
may be trusted to conduct a political cam
paign and TO bring in fresh blood, and Sucl
blood is a great triumph for the party. II
was only at the request of the Preslden
and with great reluctance that Mr.. Bric'
accepted the responsibility, and at "A grea
sacrifice of his personal interests; but hi
partner, Gen. Samuel Thomas, will !, ok afte
the railroads and mining companies anC
other affairs while Mr.. Brice is lookin!
after politics.
SCOTT NOT CANDIDATE.
William L. Scott, who will have an act
i've part in the management of the cam
pagn, has decided not to be- a candidate TO
congress again, which is n wiSe conclusion
it. SEQ is district includes the city Of Erie
Pa, and the two adjoining counties, and h,
has twice been elected by republican votes
which will never be cast for him again. Thu
district is republican with a majority o
no less than 800, and often double that
1t has been the custom, too, TO let tn,
congressional honors 20 to each county
in turn. Four years ago it was th
turn Of Erie county, but MAJ
from Nenango 10y the name o
Mackay, an "oil prince captured the
nomination by free use of fund
and chicauerv. The good people of En-,
county were outraged. Not only was the
time honored precedent violated, but the pri
Inarics were corrupted and the largest
county IN the district deprived of its right,
aud privileges. SO they set about - rebuk,
the wrong, and an Independent organiza
ton was formed by the republican leader.
of Erie City, who asked Mr.. Scott, the fore
most and wealthiest citizen to accept the
nomination, which he did and was elected
by some 1850 majority. Two years later
Mackay secured the nomination again, anC
there was a second call for Scott who had
up to that time, pleased the people bv his
conservative position and the prounenc,
he took in national council. But when he
went in for the Mills bill they began TO hold
indignation meetings, and TIN, district
being very strongly in favor of high tariff
would not elect him to any
thing now The very men VIII,
