ers.--Harrison and Morton.

ers.--Harrison and Morton.
Trenton Gazette: Harrison's nomi-
nation will give unusual and unal-
Logged satisfaction throughout New
Jersey. He was the favorite here
from the first and we feel every con-
| fidence that he will carry the state.
Boston Transcript: The nominee is
not dependent ON his ancestors for his
fame, for his achievements have been
honorably accomplished by his own
services in the army, in the court
room and in the senate chamber Of
the United States.
Boston Advertiser: He will be a
splendid candidate, not Wanting
himself, not disturbed. He will be
the leader Of the canvass, as he has
led the republicans Of Indiana in
many a hard fight to their entire
satisfaction.
Chicago Times: Gen. Harrison is a
gentleman of unstained reputation,
and the scavengers of the party will
vainly seek for material against him
with which to befoul the political at
mosphere. Levi p. Morton, the cam
didate for vice president, is an ideal
business man, and has in a great
degree the confidence of the people of
his state.
Boston Journal: In nominating
BENJAMIN Harrison, of Indiana, for
the presidency of the United States
the Chicago convention has made a
selection which will be cordially ap-
proved by the republican party in all
states and sections, and will be
ratified, we are confident, by the
country in November.
Chicago Inter Ocean: The ticket is
one which should command the I'M
hesitating support of every Republi-
can. The convention labOred honest
ly and earnestly to take advantage of
all conditions of party successes and
pledged itself firmly on the principles
of advanced Republicanism and made
as standard bearers two men we'll
known to the country for their purity
of life, rectitude of purpose and devo-
ton to Republican principles.
New York World: 1t will be said of
Mr.. Harrison that he is nominated for
his name; that if his grandfather had
not been president of the United
States and his great-grandfather a
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence he would not have been the
candidate. But this is idle talk. Mr..
Harrison is available without refer
ence to the honorable positions occu-
pied by his ancestors.
New York Press: 1t is doubtful if a
better ticket could have been nOmi-
mated. 1t is strong at both ends.
Strong in patriotism, strong in states
manship, in legal and business attain
ments, and long before election it will
be SO strong in the hearts of all true
Americans that it will be elected by
an overwhelming majority next
November.
. Troy Telegram: 1t may safely be
said that New York's electoral vote is
assured for the republican national
candidates this year. Mr.. Harrison
not only brings an historic name, but
the record of distinguished services
in the field and in the halls Of
congress.
New York Press: While Benjamin
Harrison was winning heaps oflaurels
in the civil war Grover Cleveland was
quietly practicing law in Buffalo. TIL 9
famous apostle of free trade had in
those days well developed idea of
the kind of protection which saves the
individual, whatever becomes of the
cause.
New York Sun: He is a straight
republican, yet involved in no faction
al animosities. Everybody who has
ever belonged to the republican party
can support him. Stalwarts, Half
Breeds, Blaine men, Conkling men,
all can take Harrison without any
sacrifice of feeling.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat Harri-
son and Morton, the ticket, has SON.
orous and resonant sound. 1t will
undoubtedly prove strong and popu-
lar with the country. Harrison repre-
sents the alert, enterprising and ag-
gressive west, and Morton stands for
all that is vigorous, solid and resolute
in the east.
