day. Citizens frorhla over Sullivan and
from adjoining counties were present

Cox. The courthouse was crowded, many
ladies being present.
Senator Harris spoke for two hours
His speech was one OF the clearest and best
efforts OF his life and was mainly devoted
TO the tariff. Scores OF farmers say the

Harris said he was intellectually strong
and President not afraid OF his convic-

II on account OF his failure 10 discharge

man better qualified TO fill the place, then
II is the duty Of tho State TO elect that
other man. Senator Harris urged the

THE APPEALS PROTEST.

Though il may be Of no effect, now that
the Democratic Executive Committee has
issued its call for primaries and conven-
ton, TnE APpEAL desires to go on record
as protesting cmphaticalIy against the pol
icy of the committee in permitting six dis
tricis TO appoint delegates on the basis Of
the vote OF 1884, while the rest OF the
county is required to appoint them on the
basis Of the vote of 1886 The Committee
seems TO have had no regard for future
complications and has established
n precedent fraught with the most serious
danger. II has not represented the gen
eral feeling OF the party in this matter by
thus ignoring the common law OF the
party. What is there now TO prevent a
ward or district, in the future, from select
ing any basis OF apportionment it pleases?
Most surely will the committees action
lead TO squabbles among candidates which
will jeopordizc tho success OF tho
party in future elections II was
stated openly, and with naivcte that
would have been amusing II II
were not such serious business, that
the rival Democratic candidates were pres
cnt when the question Of apportionment
was first preached and that they expressed
no dissatisfaction. What in the name OF
all that's reasonable have candidates TO do
with the action OF the Executive Commit
tee Of the whole party and entrusted with
the welfare Of tho partyP The Committee
has nothing TO do with candidates. Sup
pose all the candidates are satisfied
with the apportionment, the policy
OF Sufficient unto the day Is the evil
thereof" will not do in maintaining n
party organization. Suppose, on tho other
hand, that the convention shall be no
evenly divided that the choice OF the con-
vention shall be determined by one OF
two votes, In what position will the com.
mittcc then be, aud in what state OF mind
will be tho friends Of the beaten candidatel
The committee has made serious mistake
which It's SUCCESSORS will have to rcctiiy.

was not policy to select granger candi-
date. In vain Allison'sfriends said that his
personal record was that Of man who
had held the scales between the two ex-
tremes, the grangers and Wall street. The
answer was that his State Is the
home OF the grangers, and the
head center OF It's influences; and
the convention admitted the force Of the
answer. So, after five days of incessant
discussion and voting eliminating all the
other candidates having established
the correct principles Of choice, the conven-
ton chose Gen. Harrison with surprising
unanimity. They wanted doubtful State;
Harrison lived in Indiana. They wanted
a western candidate; Harrison was in the
west and not far enough from the
east to be out OF knowledge and
sympathy with eastern thought. Har-
rison lived near the center of popu-
lation and was almost composite

MR. FnLLERS NOMLNAT MON

The Senate Judiciary Committee,
through Mr.. Edmunds, Its Chairman, has
reported to the Senate the nomination OF
Mr.. Melville W. Fuller, for Chief Justice
of the United States, without recommen-
dation. Mr.. Fullcr's name for this high
office, was sent to the Senate by the Presi-
dent over two months ago. The nomina-
ton was promptly referred TO the Judici-
ary Committee, and, after all these weeks
Of deliberation, in which il has succeeded
in getting into print quantity OF utterly
baseless fabrications about Mrs Fuller, Il
coolly reports to the Senate that II has no
recommendation 10 make. This action OF
the Committee gives point to the charge
that the Republican majority Is simply
pursuing a policy OF deliberate dilato-
riness in the hope that the Sen
ate may adjourn and leave the
nomination hung up until after the
election. OF course. II. when Congress
convenes next December, II should find
Harrison elected, the nomination would
never be acted upon, but the Chief JUS
ticcship be held for the man OF Harrison's
choice. II Is all very contemplate.
There is general indignation over the
course OF the Judiciary Committee, partic-
ularly In Chicago, where Mr.. Fullcr's
nomination has been enthusiastically in.
dorsed by Republicans and Democrats
alike. There Is reason TO hope, however,
That the Senate will act upon tho nomina-
ton speedily, for the reason that both the
Illinois Senators have expressed them
selves rs strongly In favor Of Mr. Fuller.
They hold the balance Of power, OF course,
IA the parties now stand represented in
the Senate, Other Republicans have also
manifested willingness TO vote for Mr..
Fuller's confirmation, and these, II is be-
lievcd, will block the game Of delay. Should
u considerable number Of the Senators vote
against him, the public would recognize in
their action merely partisanslip run mad,
aud Il would result in no way to the detri-
mcnt Of Mr. Fullcr's personal or proics-
sioual character. There IL no doubt what
ever that, had Mr.. Waitc's death occurred
during tho first year Of Mr.. Cleyennd's
term, the Senate would have confirmed his
nomination Immediately and without much
debate. But We may now look 10 soc q
hot and unpleasant discussion and tho in
corporation into The Record Of all the lies

cccded in raking together. We hope the
Republicans will not stoop to such low
business, but the committee has gone 30
far as TO give opportunity for this to occur,
aud for the Republican party to acquire
some campaign material. II is all very
contemplate aud cowardly.
