The Bituminons Lime Rock Paving and I'm
provement Company take this opportunity of
informing the citizens and property owners of
this city that the pavement laid on Main street
between First and Third streets is not Bitumi-
nous Lime Rock, but is an artificial mixture and
not laid by the company. We make this an
nouncement for the purpose of disabusing the
minds OF those who entertain the belief that
this pavement was laid by this company and
are disposed to criticise our material as being
soft and not suitable for the streets of this CITY,
The only Bituminous Lime Rock Pavement
here was laid by this company and extends on
Main street from south line OF Third to Ninth
street, and on Spring street from Temple to
Ninth streets. Bituninous Lime Rock does
not become soft and mushy under the heat OF
the sun, but always remains firm and elastic.
We have already laid on the streets of this city
about five hundred thousand square feet of this
pavement to which we take pleasure in invit.
ing inspection. Very Respectfully yours,

Gen. Harrison's Speech.

At Indianapolis yesterday the notification
committee, representing the late republican
national convention, officially informed Gen
Harrison of his nomination as the candidate
of the republican party for the office of Pres
ident. In response to the address made by
Mr.. Estee, chairman Of the committee, Gen
Harrison said:
"The official notice which you have
brought of the nomination conferred upon
me by the republican national convention,
recently in session at Chicago. excites emo
lions OF profound, though Of somewhat
conflicting character That after full de.
liberation and free consultation the repre-.
sentatives of the republican party OF the
United States should have concluded that
the great principles enunciated in the plat.
form adopted by the convention could be IN
some measure safely con6ded to my care, is
an honor of which sm deeply sensible, and
for which am very grateful. do not as
sumo or believe that this choice implies that
the convention found in me any important
fitness or exceptional fidelity TO the Iriucl-
piles of government TO which ne are mutu-
ally pledged. My Subtraction with the re-
suit would be altogether spoiled ifthat result
had been reached by any unworthy methods,
or by disparsgement Of the more eminent
men who divided with me the suffrages OF
the convention. l accept the nomination
with so deep sense of the dignity of the Of
flee and OF the gravity Of its duties and re-
sponsbilities as altogether to exclude any
feeling of exultation or pride. The princ
piles of government and the practices in
administration upon which issues are
now, fortunately, SO clearly made are SO i'm
portant in their relations to the rational
and to individual prosperity that we may
expect an unusual popular interest in the
campaign. Relying wholly upon the con-
siderate judgment of our fellow citizens and
the gracious favor of God, we will confident
ly .ubmit our cause to the arbitrament of a
free ballot. The day you have chosen for
this visit suggests no thoughts that are not
in harmony with the occasion. The repub-
