The Harrison residence here is COM
Portable two-story brick structure of mod
ern construction located on North Della
ware street, in one of the choicest neigh
borhoods of the city. 1t is a solid build
ing, with but little attempt at adornment.
The interior is plainly but most comfort
ably furnished. Stone steps lead to the
front entrance, and door opens into
wide hall, which is frequently used for
reception proposes. From the wall hang
the head and neck of a deer killed in the
Rockies, and plain settee and a few
chairs constitute almost all the furniture.
To the side are double parlors and the
hall leads back to the dining-room, paral-
lei with which is the library
Over the mantel hangs a painting of
President William Henry Harrison, one
Of this Harrison family of king haters,
and the next Presidents grandfather
There is plenty of fire in his eve and
plenty of grit in his square jaws. He has
the face OF fighter. General Harrison's
neighbors here all insist that Ben is
ten times as able as his grandfather, and
nobody wants to make the mistake of
supposing that Ben won't fight this
fight through.
Under the painting of Tippecanoe a
fine, handsome photograph of the accom-
plished Steve Elkins rests on the Harri-
son mantel. EIkins is great friend Of
General Harrison, and has business con-
nections with his son in Montana
"Mr. Morton's nomination" suggested
a visitor to-day, will give satisfaction
everywhere"
"Yes," replied General Harrison, g it is
sure to. He is an old friend Of mine, and
l am delighted that he is on the ticket
