Raminisnannas o, Harrison.


In his biography of Harrison, Cen
eral Lew Wallace gives this description
of the next Presidents appearance at
their first meeting, many years ago:
lie was small in stature, of slender
physique, and what might be called a
blonde. His eyes were gray, tinged
with blue, his hair light, reminding one
of what in ancient days along the Wa
bash was more truly than POLITICALLY
described as a ''tOwheRd." He was
plainly dressed, and, in that respect,
gave tokens of indifference to the can
Ons of fashion. He was modest i'll
manner even diffident; but he had a
pleasant voice and look, and did not
lack for words to express himself. AT
first one wondered that d young man
apparently so lacking in assertion
should presume to entrust himself 50
far from home. The wonder height
ened when it became known that the
| fiedgelng was grandson of President
William Henry Harrison. He grew,
however, with more intimate acquaint-
anceship.
No part of General Wallace's work,
probably, will be read with more inter
est than that relating to General Harri-
sons first encounter in joint debate with
Thomas A. Hendricks, when he turned
the tables on Dan Voorhees,. The in
cident is thus recorded:
When he appeared ON the stand it
was amidst a heavy silence. The men
gazed at him blankIy. The women
pitied him. To regain c0mpOSure he
was slow in arranging his documents.
He began at length with Il well-worded
compliment to Mr.. Hendricks. Direct
| Iy he stated pr position and charged
| that at some previous time the Demo
Gratis had conceded it to be true. There
was stir in the house indicative of q
sensation, and promptly Mr. Voorhees,
reared his tall form claiming every eye,
ard with a stately wave of the hand
to check any demonstration, denied
the truth of the statement. An cleo
trio flash is not quicker than the re-
tort:
Fellow citizens, the denial to which
we have listened induces me to amend
my assertion. l now say that every
Democrat approved the proposition eX-
cept Mr.. Voorhees,. He was then a
Wing"
With the. spontaniety that distin-
/ cuisines an American audience above
| all others, a yell burst out, and Eefore
it ended the boyiSh-lOOking individual
/ in the stand knew that the house was
we'll stocked with Republicans.
| Pleased, confident, smiling, he then
| took up Mr.. Hendricks points, and
answered them one by one, supporting
each statement with the record. AS
he proceeded the difficulty was to re-
press the enthusiasm of his friends.
This occurred at the outset of Cen
eral Harrison's career. Since then his
triumphs, both in the rostrum and on
the battle field, have built for him an
illustrious reputation that will be fifty
crowned by his elevation to the highest
Office in che Nation. He has been g
worthy man, brave soldier, an up
right statesman, and ne will make g
capable and patriotic President.

CHARLES y. DANA. now editor of
the New York Sun, assistant secretary
of war in war times, pays this compli-
ment to General Hovey, the republican
, candidate for governor of Indiana:
I'm battle, as at Champion Hills, {" says
Mr.. Dana, I've have seen Hovey carry
hostile positions through fire, and
where the dead and wounded lay thick
after the fight was over.''

I'm prohibitionist. fused to take
forty-seven drinks a day but now
only take forty drinks a day. Yes,
but how does that make you a teetota-
lerp" just the same as a man is q
free trader who favors a reduction of
taxes from forty-seven to forty per
cent. Do you see?''-Wichita Beacon.
Yes, we see. The forty drinks were
drinks taken in Missouri, and the forty
per cent protection was on southern
products. 1t was prohibition and pro-
te;tion for the benefit of the southern
democracy and against northern re-
publicanism. Come again.

THE Emporia Democrat complains
of the sugar trust" So do we-so do
the republicans generally. But why
did the Democrats party in congress
seek to give that trust boost by keep
ing IS per cent duty on sugar? Was
it because leading democrat stands
at the head of that monopoly? Will
the Democrat explain this matter? 1t
needs explaining.

IN New York it is plainly discerned
that no more available candidate than
is General Harrison could have been
selected. The most staunch of the old
''Stalwarts" and the most earnest of
''half-breeds'' are alike enthusiastic
for him. There is no ripple of dissent
in any place in the state. Republicans
vie with each other as to who can do
the most effective service. The repub
lieans of the empire state have not
been as harmonious as they are now
since 1864. This means much.-Roch
ester Democrat.

p. III. MCCORMACK, a loud-mouthed
democrat of Columbus, Indiana, has
for some time been manifesting great
anxiety to bet 81 900 on Cleveland's re-

the bet, Mccormack backed down, say
ing that he was not vet quite ready.

TIE Democratic party at its Law
renee rally last night, announced on

mentioned. 1t was the same old De-
mocracy, spelling and all.-State Jour

UNTIL Blaine purges himself of his
hitherto free trade convictinons, how
can he stand on the Chicago platform,
or support Harrison? He is on record
as favOring a repeal of the salt, lumber
and coal tax. Then too, he favors the
whisky tax. He is badly out of line
with his party.-Democrat.
1t is wonderful how badly the
democrats feel about this, and what a
deep interest they feel IN Blaine. An
other wonder is that Blaine or the
ether republicans are so blind that
they cannot see the great gulf that di
Vides them.

IT Is the opinion of an exchange that
Miss Fellows, who married the Indian
Chaska, displayed much better taste
than the American women who marry
the played-out reprObate nobility of
Europe" She certainly got more of a
man for husband than did the lady
who married Marlborough.
