The Republican Nominee for
President.

Benjamin Harrison, son of John
Scott Harrison and grandson of Pres
ident w. H. Harrison, was born at
North Bend, Ohio, August 20, 1888.
He received a classical education,
graduating at Miami University, Ok
ford, Ohio, in 1852; studied law at
Cincinnati, Ohio removed in March,
1854, to Indianapolis, where he has
since resided and has been engaged
in the practice of the law was elect
ed in October, 1860, by the people,
reporter of the decisions of the Su-
preme court of the state; was COM
missioned in July, 1862, as second
lieutenant of Indiana volunteers
raised company A of the 18th In
diana volunteer infantry, was COM
missioned captain, and on the Or
ganization of the regiment was COM
missioned colonel; in August went
with the regiment to Kentucky, and
served until mustered out in June,
1865; was brevetted brigadier-gen-
eral in February, 1865; in October,
1864, while in the field, was re-elect-
ed reporter of the Supreme court,
which office he had lost by accepting
his commission in the army; af-
ter having been mustered out he was
reporter for four years IN 1876 he
was republican candidate for govern
or of Indiana, but was defeated he
was elected to U. S. Senate and took
his seat March 4, 1881.
Personally General Harrison is
somewhat under the average-height
but his straight, strong figure, sol
dierly bearing, and easy dignity of
manner made him noticeable person
among men. His hair is very fair,
and his face is clothed with a blonde
beard in which there are no streaks
of gray. One term of service in the
senate did not encrust him with the
veneering of senatorial reserve. He
was and is one of the most approach
able of men, ready to talk upon all
public subjects freely, and having
something to say on most subjects
that it is worth while to hear. AS
an orator he was one of the best of
the senate, speaking clearly, without
fatigue, and with no merely perfume
tory zeal, and with a voice of sill
very resonance and great penetra-
ton.
Levi P. Morton of New York was
nominated for vice president on first
ballot, receiving 591 votes, to 119
for Phelps, II for Bruce and IL for
w. F. Thomas. Mr.. Morton is a
New York banker. was a member of
congress in 1881, and was appoint
ed Minister to France by President
Garfield in 1881.
Mr.. Morton is Vermonter, ma
tive of Shoreham, where he was born
May IA, 1924. He was in business,
first in Hanover and later in Boston
until 1868, when he began his career
as banker in New York.

A Temperance Plank.

We felt greatly disappointed last
week that the Republicans did not
put a good sound temperance plank
in their platform at the Chicago con-
vention. 1t seems that the platform
committee had not sufficient courage
to do it, but the large temperance
element in the convention saw the
omission and the mistake and added
the following before adjournment:
The first concern of all good gov
eminent is the virtue and sobriety
of the people and the purity of the
home. The republican party cor
daily sympathizes with all wise and
well directed efforts for the promo
ton of temperance and morality.
The above is rather mild but it is
better than omission. The demo-
Gratis ignored the matter entirely, or
intended to embrace the "no sump-
tuary law" clause of their platform
of 1884, in the declaration when it
''re-affirms the platform adopted by
its representatives in the convention
of 1884" Republicans should be
willing to lead in the march toward
right in all directions and their plat
form should be so far in advance of
general moral and temperance senti-
ment, the country over, as to attract
to itself and to the party those who
are seeking the best in politics.
We understand that the credit of
the temperance plank is due to Frank
Plumley of this state, our temper
ance champion, himself a delegate
at large.

The Commander in Chief.

Somebody in speaking of James G..
Blaine in the late Chicago Conven-
ton said that in the coming campaign
he would be the commander in chief,
and the statement is correct. The
battle is to be fought between the
protection and the free trade parties
of the country.
AS soon as it came to the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Blaine that the President
had issued message devoted to the
free trade doctrine, he FASTENED to
send through a correspondent of one
of the great daily papers declara
ton of protective tariff principles that
was as antagonistic to the message
as light is to darkness. Mr.. Blaine
so contrasted protection with the free
trade heresy, and SO plainly set be-
fore the people the dangers involved
in the Presidents theories, that al
most every republican and all pro-
tectionists, everywhere, looked to him
as the leader who should marshal the
hosts which should sweep the country
at the November election. His letter
stating that his name would not be
presented to the convention, and his
more emphatic refusal to run as a
candidate were received with much
disappointment by thousands. But
these refusals did not seem sufficient
to satisfy his friends, large num-
Der of whom persisted in voting for
him in the convention. Indeed, it
seemed all the first week that the
Blaine sentiment would eliminate
in an overwhelming force which would
sweep the convention. 1t was not I'M
til two cablegrams were received on
Monday, requesting his friends to
let him alone, that they refused voting
for him. The tide then turned in
other directions and Benz. Harrison
was put in nomination.
Mr.. Blaine might have had the
nomination if he had desired it, prob
ably by reclamation he might have
had it after his peremptory refusal if
he had listened to the entreaty of
thousands of friends; but he has
kept his word and has silenced all
criticism on his course. 1t was real
ly one of the greatest sacrifices ever
made in political affairs. He stands
to-day the most popular, the most be-
loved citizen of the republic. When
he shall return ere long to his coun-
try, there will be a demonstration
such as has never been seen, except
possibly, that which was witnessed
when Gen. Grant returned from his
trip around the world. He will be
the great leader in the political con-
test, and his influence, untramelled
by candidacy, will he irresistible.
He will be in a position where neither
Burchard or prohibitionists or mug
wumps can compass his defeat, and,
we predict, will be the commander
in-chief who shall lead the republic
an party to overwhelming victory.

Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alternative and Blood-purifier.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to a healthful
condition.
Rev. t. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some inn
purity OF the blood manifest but that
a perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick w. Pratt, 424 Washington
street, Boston, writes: my daughter
was Frustrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to

William f. Bowker, Erie, Pa, was
cured of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

The extent to which foreign-born
help is displacing the native Ameri-
can in our New England manufacture
ing cities is very forcibly illustrated
in the case of the Amory Cotton
Manufacturing Company's Mills of
Manchester, n. HI. The French Ca
nadians now form large proportion
of the employees in the mills of New
England, though there are also many
Scotch, English, Irish, French, Ger
man, and some Italian operatives.
OF the Amory Company's 800 en-
ployes, one-third are French Canadi-
ans. and the rest of various national
tiles, only 80, or one-tenth of the
whole, being native Americans. What
is true of this company is also sub
stantially true of all the great manu-
featuring companies in New England.
The Puritan stock of New England
seems to be fast yielding to the flood
of immigration from Europe and
Canada.

Rem minated.

Gen. w. w. Grout was re-nomi
mated at the second district conven-
ton held at Montpelier on. Wednes-
day. The entire work of the con-
ventlon was done in thirteen minutes.
There were no speeches, no long
eulogies, no negative votes. A del
egate stated the case well when he
said, Everybody knows Gen. Grout,
and everybody wishes to vote for
him." The vote was loud and en-
phatic, and the applause all that the
most enthusiastic friend of the can
didate could desire. Gen. Circuit
has reached very high place in the
esteem of Vermonters, and they are
more than glad to keep him in that
place where he can render efficient
and honorable service for the state
and the country.
