NEw YORK, June 2S.-How did New
York receive the news, and what does
she think of it? New York is all right.
New York, judging from expressions
heard on all sides, and the comments of
the press, thinks that the Republicans at
Chicago did the very best thing for the
party that could have been done. The
combination is a good one-Indianaand
New York. There never was so much
enthusiasm manifested here as has heen
witnessed during the past three days.
Ben Harrison-worthy son Of distin-
guished ancestry, and Morton, than
whom this State has no better loved son!
Harrison, the Christian soldier states
man; Morton, the diplomat, the success
ful business man, the scholar, the phi.
lanthropist. Young Tippecanoe and
Morton, too, will carry New York.

What are the eleTeuts OF strength pos

First, It (the ticket stands squarely on
the platform. Both men are Republi-
cans tried and true, and have never
been anything else. They are protect
ionists from the ground up, and believe
in the American system that establishes
and fosters home industries and labor.
They believe in, and have, their whole
lives long, upheld every principle laid
down in the platform that was made be-
fore any one thought it was probable
that these two men would be selected
to stand upon it.
SO far rs New York is concerned this
campaign
IS GOING TO BE CLEAN,
but warm. That goes almost without
saying.

started out to tell you why the ticket
is strong in New York. Next to Blaine
and Harrison, or some other good West
ern man, Harrison and Morton is pecu-
liarly strong in this State.
THE IRISH VOTE.
Blaine would have been strong here
because OF the big Irish vote he would
have polled, but Harrison and Morton
will arouse almost us much enthusiasm
among Irishmen as would n ticket head
ed by the great COmmoner.
In the first place both Harrison and
Morton are cmbodiments OF the true
American neutrality-suspicious. home
industries as against British free trade.
They are distinguished representatives
of the home idea as against the Golden
theories. Irishmen here, and they are
nearly all protectionists, have been for
Blaine because they have regarded him
as the greatest living advocate OF this
American principle, and they will be
for Harrison because he adhercs firmly
to the same doctrine. Aside from his
position on the main issue, Irishmen
have in mind the stock from which
Harrison springs-that there flows in
his veins the blood OF the Harrison who
signed the death warrant OF the great
English tyrant, Charles the First; that
lie is the great grandson Of son OF that
distinguished soldier who fought and
died to sustain the very principle Irish
men are fighting for to-day; that he is
the grandson OF signer Of the Declara.
ton OF Independence from British ty-
ranny; that he is himself one OF Ire
lands most distinguished sympathizers
in America, and protectionist OF the
Blaine stamp.
But this is not all. The second man
on the ticket is man for whom
EVERY FRESHMAN
in New York has n warm feeling. The
following, which clip from New York
paper, explains why this is true:
"Among Mr.. Morton's strong points as
n candidate is the fact OF his modest but
great-heartcd generosity in 1870, in con-
tributing to the relief OF the sufferers in
Ireland. Mr.. Morton was in Congress,
and Congress had passed u resolution
placing a steamship ut the disposal OF
whoever would ht Il out for the famine.
stricken people. A month wentb by and
no one had responded. James Gordon
Bennett had contributed SlO0, 900 to the
relief Of Ireland, and to him, us editor OF
the Herald, Mr.. Morton wrote a letter
offering to be one OF three to fill the
ship with provisions. Permission was
given to publish the letter without the
name. Ii aiterward came out, OF course,
that Mr.. Morton was the donor"
And here is another to show why
Morton is in favor with
THE BUSINESS MEN
Of New York:
"Au Incident in the career of Mr..
Morton, illustrating the upright Charac,
ter of the man, was told by n New York
business man the other day. When Mr..
Morton was in the dry goods business in
New York, in his early career, he failed
and was unable to pay his creditors but
20 cents on the dollar. Subsequently he
went into the banking business and
made very large fortune, His former
creditors were surprised one day by re-
ceiving IN invitation to banquet.
When they arrived and sat down to the
table they were still more surprised to
find under their plates a check to each
one for the full amount OF the remaining
Indebtedness, with interest from the
time OF the failure. This story, which,
with becoming modesty, Mr.. Morton has
never been known to repeat, is true
one, 1t is n revelation Of his character
us n business man. Upright, conscien-
tious and sincere, he impresses his
strength Of character upon all who meet
him. Such qualifications will make him
Q strong candidate before the people"
