General Harrison is vindicatne his title to
the honor he is wearing with such quist dignity.
Every day brings him nearer TO the peoples

spect and esteem In which he is held. There is
that in the man which Is compelling his foes to

testimonials Of political enemies. Under the
fierce light which has beaten upon him since his
nomination no spot or blemish he's been dis
closed. Through q long public he has
worn the white flower Of q bameless life.
American political history has few parallels
to the swift growth OF General Harrison in pop
ular estimation. 1t cannot be denied that his
nom ination Was a keen disappointment to many
Republicans. A few resented it with bitterness
of which they are now heartily ashamed. Near
