The Famous Song Of 1910.

The Campaign Song Book" of
1910, copies of which are still extant,
contained large collection of songs
of various kinds, but the most famous
of them all-the one which was most
widely popular was that entitled,
"Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too" As
usually sung it consisted of ten four
line stanzas, with chorus. The great
uprising for Gen. Harrison was sym
bolized by the rolling of an immense
ball, which, starting at the local elec-
ton in Maine, swept over the great
er part of the country, clearing the
way for the easy march of the people S
favorites to the White House. This
was the idea of the song.
The campaign OF 1910 began early
in the year and was kept up with in
creasing interest to the close. Under
eight years of Jackson and four years
of Van Buren, the country was far
from prosperous. Work was scarce
and thousands of men could find moth.
ing to do, though ordinary labor was
down to Is cents day. The Wings
wanted change, and 80 day and
roast beef" was the tempting pledge
which they made on condition that
they were voted into power.
The song, ''Tippecanoe and Tyler,
Too" is said to have been written
by Mr.. A. G. Ross, an amateur mu
sician of Zanesyille, O., and it was
received with great favor wherever
sung. The opening stanza is as fol
lows:
Oh, what has caused this great com notion =
motion-motion,
Our country through?
1t is the ball that's rolling on,
For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.
For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.
And with them Wen beat little Van, Van,
Van,
Oh, he's a used-up man,
And with them we'H beat little Van.
The ball was among the most con
spicuous of the campaign emblems
and some of them carried in process.
sions were of immense size. 1t was
kept rolling on" with prodigious
energy, aud the song "Tippecanot
and Tyler, Too," formed no inconsid
cradle part of the impelling force

beyond rallying cry, and it survives

THE EDITOR OF THE PoMERoY, OHIO
HERALD CAN'T SWALLOW FREE TRADE

HERALD CAN'T SWALLOW FREE TRADE.
PoMERoY, o., July 8.-The Her
aid, heretofore the only Democratic
paper in the county, has Topped. The
whole Republican ticket, from Harri-
son and Morton to County Survey or
Watkins, heads it's columns, and Maj
Russell, the proprietor, gives his rea-
sons for the change in the following
editorial:
"The Herald is not a free-trade
paper, and is not to be whipped into
support of measures which, if adopt
ed, would ruin every industrial inter
est in Southeastern Ohio and West
Virginia, as well as those of many
other large sections of our country,
and in the end proye detrimental to
every citizen of the United States.
The Presidents message, followed by
the introduction of the Mills bill
into the lower House of Congress,
was certainly enough to alarm every
honest Democrat who had faith in
the professions of his party, that it
intended just revision Of the tariff
but there was still hope that the ap-
preaching National convention would
declare against such an aoject policy.
We vet believe that large majority
Of the delegates to the St, Louis Con.
vention were opposed to the meas
ures proposed by the President aud
formulated by the Mills bill, but they
permitted themselves to be dictated
to and thus were led to adopt a cut.
and dried platform as their own.
"To expect the Herald to support
the platform and candidates of that
convention would be to expect US to
favor the wrecking of every salt fur
nace and iron-works in this region,
as well as the destruction of the sheep
industry and its attendant loss to
farmers, together with the compul
sorry idleness of every workingman
who obtains living for himself and
family by either skilled or unskilled
labor in those industries As we dc
not favor any such measures, we can
not support either the st. Louis plat.

The first concern of ell good gov

The Democrats declare vociferous-
ly against the resolution on the
ground that it places the Republican
party in opposition to the saloon in-
tereets. On the other hand the ultra
Prohibitionists affirm that it means
nothing and that no ProbibitioList
should be influenced by it to vote the
Republican ticket. But honest men

Whence Came "Hoosier?"--
Had the Nickname Its Origin
In "HuSher" or who's Yere?'

From American Notes and Queries.
The origin Of this word is in dis
pute and no authoritive settlement
has been arrived ut Here are batch
Of explanations that are given for
what they may be worth. 1t is said
that the early Western settlers, proud
of their strength In log-rolling and
house raising. were called by their
neighbors "hushers," from their ply
sical ability to still their opponents.
Husher was . common term for bully
in The West. The rude boatmen of
Indiana. rejoicing in their strength,
often displayed it on the levee at New
Orleans. One of them, after some
remarkable act of prowess. not under
standing the pronunciation OF "hush-
err exclaimed, "I'm o hoosier"
The New Orleans papers reported
the incident and transferred the name
TO Indiana bottmen, and finally to all
inhabitants 3f that state. keniucki-
ans say the word is derived from the
inhabitants' gruff way Of knocking
and saying, who's yere?'" Others
attribute 1t to their curiosity as to
the inmates Of houses inducing them
to knock and ask this question. And.
still again, the term is said to have
arisen from the fact that Indiana, in
earlier days, supplied the West moi
only with hosiery Of the coarser wool
en- kinds but with the yarns for dom
este manufacture of such articles.
Hence the term hosier, applied tc
citizens OF Indiana, and the corrup
tion hoosicr.

STILL ANOTHER.

Judge Handley, of Lackawana

out in an interview against Cleve-

al have declared my inability to
follow Mr.. Cleveland in his free trade
fallacy. He has overstepped the line
of Democracy and very many life
long Democrats cannot go with him.
| am still Democrat, but it seems
to me the merest folly for any think
lug man to take the position
the President has upon the
tariff question. Protection is a5so-
lutely essential to the prosperity OF
this country. With our sparse pop
ulaticn which could be put into the
State of Texas without even crowd
ing it as much as Germany is crowd
ed; with our vast, undeveloped re-
sources; with our immense acreage
of the public domain unoccupied and
unimproyed, it is folly to speak of
free trade. When we shall have
reached a population of 400, ,O0O,OO
or 500, ,O0O,0 900 it will perhaps become
debateble question, and free trade
may do no serious harm
mo, | stand with Mr.. Randall on
that question, and in diametrical op-
positian to Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Scott, and all who hold like opinion.
Like all men who conceive them
selves men of destiny, like Cromwell,
like Napoleon, and like Gladstone,
Mr.. Cleveland thinks he can run
counter to the genius of the age in
which he lives, but In this case, as in
theirs, the fatal step has been taken"
