HARRISON AND MORTON
THE NOMINEES.

After the convention was called
to order Monday morning, Boutelle
of Maine took the platform and
read dispatches from James G.
Blaine, earnestly requesting the
convention not 20 vote for him.
The balloting then proceeded and
on the third ballot of the morning
and the eighth of the convention,
Benjamin Harrison of Indiana,
was nominated, all the Blaine
forces going to him on that ballot.
At the evening sessision Levi P.
Morton was nominated for Vice
President.
Benjamin Harrison, the nomi-
nee, was born in North Bend
Ohio, August 20, 1888; was eradu-
ated at the Miami university
Ohio, In 1852, and in 1854 remoy.
ed to indianapolis, where he was
elected reporter of the supreme
court In 1850, and in 1862 entered
the army as second lieutenant. He
afterward raised and organized a
company of the 10th Indiana regi-
ment, WIS commissioned its colo
mel, and served through the war
and was breveted brigadier gener-
al IN 1865. He was defeated for
governor in 1916, was made men,

A Lawful Fence.

In answer to a correspondent rs
to what constitutes lawful fence
the st Louis Republican says:
A division fence between two
owners can be demanded by either
party; the other must build half
or pay for it when built. The law
allows either owner to demand a
lawful fence-and a lawful fence
is a hedge 4 feet high; post
and rail fence; a post and plank
fence; post and pailing fence, or
post and wire fence 4Ifeet high;
a worm fence, 5 feet high locked
and ridered, turf fence 4 feet
high with a 3-foot ditch on either
side, or stone or brick fence A.
feet high. If your neighbor fails
to keep his half of the fence in
good stock proof order, he may be
required to do SO within eight
months on written notice; or you
may put the fence in good order,
or build a new one and force him
to pay for it.

1t appears that a few per

sons are showing a nervousness
over the prospective results of the
race of r. N. Toler and Jacob
Sands. We want to say to these
parties, that, if they will apply to
the Republican club they will be
presented with bottle of pare
goric, large enough to allay all
nervousness till the close of the
campaign. 1t seems to us that the
people have made up their minds
that the entire county ticket must
be elected, and the sooner these
nervous persons settle down to
work with this fact as basis of
operations, the better it will pro-
badly be for them.

was chosen United States Senator.

was chosen United States Senator.
His father was John Scott, con of
William Henry Harrison, and the
candidate is the only surviving
child. He descended from an illus
truious family, the name of Harri-
son being historic in the political
life of the two continents. The
earliest public record of Benjamin
Harrison's ancestors is found in
England's famous struggle against
the doctrine Of the divine righ t OF
kings.
Levi P. Morton was born in
Shorthand, Vt, in 1924. He is a
lineal descendant of George Nor
ton, who came to this country from
England in 1923. Young Morton
attended school in his native vii
age, and afterward spent some
time as clerk in small store at
Concord, N. III. When 81 years of
age he opened a store for himself
in Boston, and in 1S49 became a
member of the dry goods firm of
Beebe, Morton d Co., in that city.
Five years later he went to New
York and established tn dry goods
firm of Mo, ton & Grinnell. The
house failed, aud settled with its
creditors for so cents on the dol
lar. In 1863, after his bank had
prospered greatly, he invited his
creditors to dinner, and when the
guests sat down at the table each
one found beneath his plate a
certified check for his claim and
the accrued interest.
His wealth is estimated at sever
millions. Unlike the majority of
rich men, he is exceedingly chari-
table, and there is scarcely a
worthy institution in New York
toward the support Of which he
does not freely contribute. Grace
Church house, a handsome white
marble structure on 4th avenue
was built by him in the memory
of his first wife. 1t is, perhaps,
the most perfect child's nursery
in the city, and to it hundreds of
poor women flock daily to leave
their children to be cared for until
nightfall. All of the little ores
are fed, and those who are needy
are supplied with clothing. The
whole expense of the institution
is borne by its.founder, and thou
sands of dollars are annually
expended by him in its support.

The exercises consisted of read
ing, dialogues, and declamations,
interspersed with songs and in

school, and soon disappeared
before the vigorous charge of
visitors and pupils. All were
we'll pleased and highly entertain

solicitation, Mr.. H. E. Green was
induced to give the school one of
his characteristic addresses of

THE PLATFORM.

In this issue of the GRAPHIC we
present our readers with the Re-
publican platform, In it they will
find that nothing seems to have
been ignored or omitted that has
to do with the happiness or
prosperity of great and
free people. There has been no at
tempt to blind or convey false i'm
pressions. Every sharp, crisp
sentence is remarkable for the
clearness of its meaning.
The rights of every citizen are
remembered. Unswerving devo-
ton to the Constitution and the
Union of the States is re-affirmed
The position of the party on the
silver and tariff questions, which
have kept the b lsiness of the
country in doubt and uncertainty
for three years under the Demo-
cratic administration, will meet
the appreciation of every one who
has a dollar to invest, and every
laborer seeking employment.
The opposition to the introduc-
tioh of alien contract labor into
the United States will be hailed
with delight by every class of
American workmen.
The declared hostility to vicious
combinations of capitol organized
in trusts will send up shout of
| JOY from every producer of our
country.
The Mormon church, that hag
of perdition, may well tremble,
for, with the party that stands up
on this platform, in power, polyga-
my should cease to be a standing
menace to our free institutions.
The soldier, to whom the coun-
try owes a debt that cannot be
paid with gold, has received just
recognition, and when the roll is
called in November, he will be
found in line, fighting for the
platform of the flag instead Of the
platform of the red bandanna.
Every American heart will
thrill with pride that there is no
toadying to Great Britain or ap-
ing her free trade theorists that
the surplus may be reduced, but
that such a disposition of it is re-
commended as will give employ
ment to labor, promote trade and
increase the security of the coun-
try.
In short it is just such plat
form as might haye been expected
from party that looks upon the
people as being the Nations SOW
ereign, and the free school as the
preserver of the nation. A plat
form upon which not only Repub-
licans, but every intelligent, pro-
gressive, patriotic, home loving,
liberty loving American can stand
with honor to himself and coun-
try.

WHAT'S the matter with
Harrison? "He's all right"
In the case of the Flag VS.
the "Red Bandanna" the flag must
win.
Sherman may have kept the
convention from stampeding to
Blaine, but it was a death blow to
John Sherman, politically.
The Republican platform
adopted at Chicago last week is in
strong contrast with the Democrs-
tic scaffold, recently erected in
st. Louis.
Missouri must send men to
our next Congress, who will assist
Maj. Warner of Kansas City in his
efforts to uphold the manufacture
ing industries of our state.
The campaign is on, and
the fight will be made on the patri-
otto basis of protection to Ameri-
can Industries. The uncertain
ties of business because of the en-
nifty of the present administration
to American interests, will make
the fight an easy victory for the
Republican party.
Blaine could have been
nominated any hour of the con-
vention by an overwhelming ma
jority. But his cablegrams to the
convention Monday morning de-
manding that they cease voting
for him, quickly turned the tide
in favor of Harrison and brought
the convention to close.
The articles of the Associa-
tion, under which the st. Louis
and Omaha Railway organization
is to be made will be completed in
short time, and surveying par
ty will be put in the field at once.
MIR. L. M. Collins of this place, a
man of large experience in every
thing pertaining to the location
and building Of railroads, is spok-
en- of as chief engineer. A better
man for the position could not be
selected.
That it is not necessary to
get drunk to be patriotic, nor rude
and boistrous to display enthusi-
asm, was well shown by the color
ed people during their celebration
last Monday. We hope as much
can be said for the white people
after the celebration next Wedpes-
day. The first man who gets
drunk should be given thirty days
in the cooler with bred and water
In sobriet., behayior and respect
for others the whites should keen
pace with the negro.
The Denver Republican
derives consolation from the re-
Election that there is no danger of
the prohibition ticket iniuring
the Republicans in New JERSEY,
In 1856 that party polled l9SOS
votes. In 1887 it cast only l1,lSl.
reduced nearly one-half. In this
campaign it will not be nearly SO
much. According to the Repub-
lican men are willing to vote for
prohibition as local state issue.
but in national campaign they |
are not going to waste ballot on
a candidate who has no show, but |
will cast it for the party they re-
ally belong to. !
