The nomination of grandson of Tippeca-
noe will take Indiana out of the list of doubt
full States, and it win not need a 's1og cabin"
or ''hard cider" campaign to accomplish this
result.
When old Tippecanoe ran for President on
the Whig ticket in 1910 against Martin Van
Buren, he received 234 electoral votes while
Martin was retired to private life with 60
votes. Only for the solid South the grandson
would give Cleveland worse defeat. As it is
he will "get there"
This from the Fort Worth (Texas) Gazette
will be interesting reading to Union soldiers;
"When Mrs. Thurman sent food to Confede-i
rate soldiers at Camp Chase she cast bread
upon the waters, and southern men win see
to It that the scripture is fulfilled by its re-
turning to her in 1885,.
All this talk by the Democrats about carry
ing California for Cleveland on account of
General Harrison's position on the Chinese
question Ia the merest fbosh. When the
delegation from that Stats made break from
Blaine it indicated that the vote of the State
was for Harrison and protection rather than
Cleveland and free trade. . -sss --7. 2 ,i.'s-
It requires no stretch of Imagination to tell
where the "boys in blue'' will be found in
this campaign. General Harrison stood side
BY side with them on the field of battle, and
new they will help to place him in the presi-
dential chair, knowing that that Justice
which is their due will be extended to them
on his accession to power. i'.s -i:.i'
How any consistent mugwump can refuse
to vote for Harrison is beyond comprehen-
sion, unless he is an absolute free trader and
opposed to protection. If he is such, then
he should vote for Cleveland; but If an ad-
vocate for honest administrative reform and
an enemy of s'shams, !" then his way is plain
and his vote will be cast for the Republican
nominees. s-s - = =
It has transpired that Judge John n,

when Frank James, the outlaw, was being
tried there for murder ,and acted as his coun-

The interstate commereeIaH, while. doing
very well itself, seems to tbe giving rise to
some limitations on the part Of State legisla-
| lures that are by no means as wise and can
never be a. successful. Out in Iowa, for sx-
ample, a new railroad law is just going into
effect, which is evidently based on. ignorant
prejudice against railway corporations, and
which scarcely falls short of public confis-
cation of private property.

The enthusiasm of the tfoldn and "young''

news of the nomination Of Harrison and
