Colonel Edward c. James, who carried a torch IN
the Fremont campaign in St. Lawrence County, where
he born, and who attended the Convention that
nominated Fremont and has ever since been Re-
publican, said al think General Harrison is true
exponent of Republican principles and will make
most acceptable candidate 10 Republicans and TO in
dependent voters throughout all parts of the country
lie is a gentleman Of unblemished character and OF
strict integrity, who has always been faithful to every
trust repOsed in him. In the time of danger TO the
Republic he stood fra his post of duty and filled
his position in the Army with conspicuous bravery
and ability. In St. Lawrence County and in Northern

Wasn't this county prosperous without protection
befor the war; say No, not as 1t is to-day and
the improvement is not due to natural increase OF
trade or population I was born and brought up in
NewE England, and know the condition of the work
Inc classes. The Improvement that protection has
wrought is wonderful, and nothing else could have
accomplished it. My summer home is at Stamford
