THE reception Of Gen. Harrison at
Put'in.Bay yesterday was q dismal and
cold.blooded failure, II gave the few
Republicans present an aggravated
type of nervous chills. Charles Foster,
Of Fostoria, was master of ceremonies.
General Harrison appeared limp, Ian.
guild and unsympathetic, and was much
relieved when the last smirking damsel
squeezed his hand and the last political
hanger-on ceased TO banker him. Ben
Harrison made brief little speech,
but said nothing new.

Or course Blaine will be the main
force Of the Harrison administration,
should the calamity Of Harrison's cleo
tion befall the country, 1t is therefore
quite interesting to know what the
greatest Republican United States Sen

tally interesting since Blaine has given
us his idea Of Trusts. Senator Geo. y.
Edmunds, Of Vermont, said Of James
G, Blaine in 1884,

joined hands against Jay Gould and
