MIAMI, Roberts Co., Tex, June %.
Saturday our little city was aroused
before daylight by loud outcry. The
cause was the elopement of a grass
widow with her son and a man named
Squires, and the crier was her mother,
a hard working woman named Wheeler.
Using the telegraph the runaway was
captured at Canadian and brought back
with the man that night. AT the trial
the woman was held over in bail to the
amount of $500 until Tuesday. Mrs.
Wheeler attempted to take her life
several times and was only prevented by
the watchfulness of the neighborS.
Souires was found not guilty, the widow
being over sixteen.
The election Of officers and county
seat is being canvassed today, and the
result will not be known for day or

seat owing to a legal technically in pre-

GEN. BEN. HARRISON.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Having served for three years as a pri-
waite soldier in the army in the 10th In
diana, commanded by General Ben Har-
rison, and having been for something
less than two years member OF his
Sabbath school class, l think l may be
allowed word about him, now that he
has been nominated for such high
Office. He was too strict while in camp
in the army. to be very popular with
young man who had always done just
about as they pleased at home; but when
it come to the long march and the battle
field he was SO watchful of his men that
we all soon realized that he was our
best and truest friend. He never re-
quiret any duty of soldier that he
himself did not cheerfully perform. II
some poor fellow, footsore and weary,
gave out on the march he was the first
official to dismount and give up his horse
to the sick soldier.
On the 10Th day of May, '64, his regi-
ment was selected to lead charge at
Resaca, Ga, against the enemyss works,
hell we did ON that occasion. One-third
of our men dead and dying On the field
in less time than it takes to tell the sad
story. And so on during all that long
campaign to Atlanta, and the celebrated
march to the sea, and up through the
Carolinas to the close OF the war. he
never faltered in his anxiety for the
safety and welfare of his command.
When in camp if our good chaplain was
sick Gen. Harrison conducted religious
services. I remember on one occasion
of this kind at Gallatin, Tenn, he ex-
pressed such strong desire that every
soldier who outlived his term OF service
might return home to his family and
friends as good morally as when he left
them.
During all the time I was in his Sab
bath school class l never knew him to be
absent from the class, from prayer meet
ing or from preaching, either IN the
morning or at night, when at home.
He is the ablest lawyer in the state OF
Indiana, a hard worker, and believes that
everybody else ought to work hard I'M
less disabled.
About three years since I and his pri-
vate secretary, Mr. Watson, were the
shorthand reporters in very important
law suit. The case was tried an change
of venue and lasted for ten days, and
being away from our homes we talked
together quite often during the trial. 1
remember, when speaking about the evils
of intemperance, Mr.. Watson remarked
to me that General Harrison never touch
ed Intoxicating liquors, and | know that
| never knew him TO do such a thing.
The general has two children, son
aud daughter. both married. His wife,
the daughter of DR.. Scott late president
of Hanover college, who is, or was, when
at home, the teacher of the infant class
in the Sabbath school of the First Pres
| byterian church at indianapolis, is a
most excellent christian lady, and if she
should be called to the head Of the house
hold affairs at the white house, would
certainly make it unpleasant for the beer
guzzling element about the nations dom
icile and remind us all of that other good
woman, Mrs. Rutherford B. Hays.

ton system as the means of reaching the
best average results and splendid trib-
ute to the political sagacity and republi-
can loyalty of that body which has Just
adjourned. No convention ever had
more difficult task TO perform. There
were conflicting interests, points OF dIfii-
Guilty and elements of discord. There
was party TO serve, the welfare OF the.
country to promote. the interests Of can
didates and respective followings TO re-
gard. The situation abounded in diff
culties. But above all there was the
logic of events and high conviction
that the convention must do its duty by
the party in whose name and interests it
was convened. 1t has done it. The
nomination of Harrison and Morton is
the happiest solution that could possibly
have been made of the great political
problem. If it were not so clearly the
result of human wisdom we should call
it inspiration.
The Globe-Democrat. st. Louis. (Re-
publican1 says: Harrison and Morton
the ticket-has sonorous and re-
sonant sound. 1t Will undoubtedly
prove strong and popular with the
country. Harrison represents the alert,
enterprising and aggressive west, and
Morton stands for all that is vigorous,
solid and resolute in the east. Strate-
getically, as well as sectionally, the
ticket is admirably chosen, the head of
it being taken from the doubtful state OF
the west and the second member OF 1t
selected from the principal eastern
debatable state the party lines are
strengthened at the only points at which
they were weak. Under the leadership
af Harrison and Morton Republicans can
hardly fail to achieve brilliant and
significant triumph at the polls IN 1888.
The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette
says: Benjamin Harrison Is Re-
publican-always was a Republican.
He is sound on all great questions land
down in the admirably constructed plat
form of the party. The platform is the
embodiment of his record. There is
nothing in his whole life as politician,
statesman or citizen that
needs defense or explanation. His
character is as pure as his name Is Illus
trious The nomination is also full
recognition of the soldier element
The Kansas City Journal says: He has
for years been recognized as one of the
great leaders of the Republican party,
and his high intelligence, unspotted IN
tegrity and answering regard for the
| interests of the people have long since
caused his name to be prominently men
toned in connection with the presi-
Dental nomination. His candidacy will
appeal in the strongest manner TO the
very best interests of American society.
He stands as the exponent of Repub-
licanism in the highest sense of the
| word.

BIG OPINIONS.

The following are the editorial opinions
of the leading papers of the country
touching Harrison's nomination:
The New York Sun, Democratic, says:
Harrison is not great man or great
political genius, but nobody need believe
he is an insignificant candidate. He is
straight Republican, yet involved in no
fractional animosities. Everybody who
belongs to the Republican party can sup
port him-stalwarts half breeds and
Blaine men and Conkling men all can
take Harrison without any sacrifice of
feeling. As a soldiar, too, his record
merits respect. 1t is a respectable ticket,
although we warn Democrats they win
have to put forth their best efforts and
bring out their utmost strength. 1t Is
no sham battle that is to be fought"
The Chicago Tribune, Gresham organe
saws: 1t would be sheer hypocrisy on the
part of the Tribune to pretend that 1t
thinks the convention placed in nomina
ton the strongest candidate before it,
for its readers would not believe such an
opinion sincere. The general belief il
that the convention was not influenced
by the question of availability to any
perceptible degree. What has been done
Is beyond recall, correction or change.
1t must stand for this election and there
is nothing left for the straight party men
who had first choice but to make the
hest of it by supporting the nominee.
The candidate himself VIII be found to
possess much to admire. He has be-
ionged to the Republican party since its
organization; he has been true TO its
fundamental principles: he has voted It's
ticket and stumped for 1t, and represent
ed II in the senate chamber and Tisked
his life on the battle field in defense OF
its PRINCIPLES. He is q man OF clean
character and pious conduct and correct
morals. and intellectually an ADLER man
than his competitor for the next term OF
the presidency.
The Philadelphia Ledger, Independent
Democrat. SAYS: He is close and Ia
borious student, thoroughgoing in what
ever he undertakes. noted for his mastery
OF his law cases. keen and vigorous de-
batter. strong In argument and the
knowledge OF facts. a dilligent and ef-
fective committeeman in the senate,
sound and broad IN his views, lndepen-
dent in his tone of mind. not carried
away BIZ mere partisanship, and proof
against demagogery. Just such & man and
a statesman as should be acceptable 10
all thoughtful. sensible people, as well as
to those who go the party ticket what
ever II Is. The nomination Is one entire
Iy fit 70 be made.
The Indianapolis Journal says 'The
end crowns the work, and the nomina-
ton OF Harrison and Morton is con-
plete vindication OF the wisdom and
patriotism Of the largest, most earnest
and most enthusiastic convention ever
held. Il isa vindicarion Of the conyel-
