They do say that Harrison looks on
this ception-to- Blaine business as en-
tirely unnecessary, if not actually un-
kind.-[ Philadelphia Times, (Ind.)
Senator Blair used fighting words in
the debate on the pension vetoes with all
the freedom of man who does not
ight.-[Providence Journal, (Rep.)
Judge Kelley would preserve the sugar
duty. In this he is at least more con-
sistent than Senator Sherman; and, in
fact, it seems difficult to understand why
sugar should not be protected. if every
thing else is to be, unless because it is

Col. Dudley is the new treasurer of the
Republican National Committee. Col.
Dudley is an experienced dispenser of
the commodity known in politics as
"soap." He carried Indiana with the

DIR. McGlynn announces that he has
put his hand to the plow and will not
turn back. That's right, DR.. McGlynn.
That is what you and Henry George
ought to have done long ago. If this
country had more good plowmen there
would be less demand for anti-poverty
societies. Savannah News, (Dem.)
The American Constitution, though by
no means faultless, is the best model YET
produced, and under it France would be
safe from those sudden changes in gov.
ernment that give opportunity to mon
archists and destructives alike to keer
her government in an unsettled condi.
ton. So long as Boulanger takes the

Politics are getting to percolate and
permeate quite too low down, when the
selection of Chief Justice of the United
States is canvassed by it's probable effec

fittest jurist for that great office shoult
be chosen without regard to any ques

Mr.. Harrison's practical craftsmanship
will be put to the test. If he has the
courage to say in his letter of acceptance
exactly what he thinks of his party's
platform, it may be discovered that he
does not agree with Major Mckinley
Senator Farwell, Judge Kelley, Col. In
gersoll, and the two or three other prom
inent men who have given that free

a chance for Mr.. Harrison to show him

who was temporarily elected at Chicago,
would be continued permanently, and
this would have been satisfactory to all,
no doubt, while it would also have in
