As Seen by a Republican.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Republican paper of the West, says Of
Harrison, the Republican nominee for
President, that he is unpopular at
home and disliked abroad; not sup
ported by any German newspaper, or
recognized by any German leader in
the United States; not numbering
among his close friends one man who
ever served with him in the Senate Of
the United States; hated in California
because he voted fourteen times against
the restriction of Chinese immigration;
opposed in his own State because he is
cold and distant in his manner, and
identified with every public act which
has ever been adopted which could
wound the sensibilities of voters not
numbered among his own particular
clique in the Republican party; hav-
ing n strong support among politicians.

the destruction is complete. Hundreds Of
farmers in these two counties, as well ~
Calhoun, Gilmer and Lewis, are absolutely

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
It Will He y Hattie Upon Higher Than
u Personal Plane.


"The sober second thought" to use
. trite saying, of the Republican party
Of the country evidently does not bring
with it feeling Of elotion over the
nomination Of General Harrison to the
Presidency. That he is weak candi-
date in great party crisis is patent to
the observant among those on whom he
must rely for support.
During his political career he has
never demonstrated his ability to carry
Indiana against united Democracy.
He was elected to State Office in 1860,
when the Republican party was united
on one candidate for the Presidency,
while the Democracy were divided be-
tween two, with Bell and Everett,
fourth combination, draining the
divided party Of conservatives who
were not wholly satisfied with either
Douglass or Breckenridge. In 1864 he
was elected Reporter of the Supreme
Court in the midst Of the excitement Of
the war.
In 1876 he was overwhelmingly de-
feated by ..Blne-Jeans Williams for
Governor. Four years later Demo-
cratic dissension permitted the election
of Republican Legislature. General
Harrison. who had not been mentioned
as q candidate, was fortunate enough
to capture the caucus nomination for
Senator.
In 1886, when he was q pronounced
candidate to succeed himself in the
Senate, and when local feuds among
the Democrats were at a high pitch,
he was defeated, and Judge Turpie, q
Democrat, succeeded him.
His vote against the Chinese Restric-
ton bill invited the implacable HOSTILE
ty of California and the Pacific slope.
His attitude on the bill legalizing the
importation OF pauper labor from
Europe under contract will weaken
him everywhere that American labor
has been subjected to this unnatural
and un-American competition.
Tho labor organizations in his own
State and throughout the country rec
ognize in him the persistent and un-
compromising opponent of such organ.
izatiOns.
But this is not to be a campaign OF
personalities. The battle will be upon
