How Old Tippecanoe Kept Store.

Portland 0regonian.
Hon. Daniel d. Bsylsy, of Tillamook, gave a
reporter some "reminiscences of old Tippecanoe
a few days ago. In reply to the remark: You
are reported in the list OF Harrison voters OF
1910, but you must have voted for him twice.
he said:
'Of course I did. in 1886 and again in 1910,
and ! am going to live long enough to vote for
his grandson on account OF the stock"
"Did you know old Tippecanoe personally"
Eyes, l knew him when he was county clerk
of our county. When my father moved West
Harrison bad a brother who kept q store. Old
Tip" was interested with him. but the only
thing he used to do about the store was to sit on
the Sidewalk and spin yarns. When he started
in a crowd would gather pretty quick, and he
would keep them III a roar for an hour or two.
He was better than o!d Jim Nesmith.
81 was a poor boy then, and used to make ak
handles and sell them in the town for a shilling
apiece. Several times when I have carried one
into town and failed TO sell it, Harrison would
buy it from me, aud | know be had no use for il
In Gods world. He just took it to help me along
10 a quiet way. 1t was just such things as that
which made the people love him. The first
time he ran they did not find out how much
they wanted him till IL was too late; but the
second time it seemed as il everybody in the
State was for Harrison"

when il expected defeat as the penalty. 1t
would turn its back on free trade for the sake
of The Offices, just as 1t solemnly pretended in
1872 TO believe in equal suffrage and equal
rights for all, and just as it solcmnly pledged
itself TO Civil Service Reform in 1884. Cor
porations have a thousand times as much som
as the Democratic party has conscience. As
for gratitude, Mr.. Clcveland's worst enemies
can wish him no more terrible experience than
TO be compcllcd to test the gratitude Of the
party he led to victory four years ago. The
party looks at the thing from the other side.
1t took Sheriff Of Buffalo and made Prcsi-
dent out OF him, and he shows no gratitude.
1t is safe 10 start with the premise that
sbrcwd Democratic leaders will pitch Mr..
Cleveland overheard if they can with safety.
The question of power is little clearer than
Mr.. Cleveland's friends suppose. II the dele
gates from Ncw-York, New-Jcrscy, Connecticut
and Pennsylvania go into convention and state
that Mr.. Clcveland's nomination means defeat
in those States, that is his death-kncll. Dir.
