JOHN SCoTT HARRISON, esq, of
Kansas City, is as much of grand
son of his grandfather as his Broth
er Ben; he Is not a railroad attor-
ney, is not Republican, and has
never voted ID times for Chinese
competition with American labor.
1t is easy to understand why he
should be sneered at by his Brother
Ben's supporters, but he would rath-
er be right than be defeated for
president.-RepHdlic.
