Like all whom / have met among the
independents of 1884, l am in favor OF
the reelection of Mr.. Cleveland. Per-
sonally the contest is az before, be-
tween Blaine and Cleveland, with the
difference that the latter had been
tested and has proved upright and in
dependent, if sometimes slow. More
over Mr.. Blaine is now before the pub
lie in the most dangerous of all posi-
BILE attitudes, that of an uncrowned
king, possessing power without re-
sponsibility. Unless Harrison is a far
stronger man than the late President
Garfield-which is hardly to be sup
posed-he will, if elected, make Mr.
Blaine his secretary of state, and will
be a %nonentity in his WI administra-
ton as he is in the canvass.
Various Opinions on Harrison's Letter.
Springfield Republican, Ind.
On the whole the message is not the
work of a strong man, but of an Ordi-
nary partisan.
Neao York Sun, Dem.
The letter lacks the ring and decis-
ion noticed in President Cleveland's
document. 1t contains few striking
passages.
New York Tribune, Rep.
The letter is worthy of the leader OF
a great party and demonstrates his fit
ness for the presidency as we'll as the
public need thai principles which he
represents shall prevail.
Boston Journal, Rep.
1t bears on the face of it unimpeach-
ah1o aui1anna nf tic ahcnlnfn olnnQrJty
in every line and word, and it is
framed in as explicit language as the
English tongue affords.
Neao York Herald, Dem.
The letter is not strong and is rather
stale. No other republican could dc
better, though, than Harrison has done
for the facts are on the democratic
side and the facts will tell in the pres
ent canvass.
Neao York Times, Ind.
We cannot believe, after a careful
reading of his letter, that Mr. Harrison
is very fully informed or very deeply
interested in public matters. His let
ter gives no evidence of an awakened
mind. There is no virility in it, nc
enthusiasm, not ever about his party
or about himself.
Boston Herald, Ind.
We submit to our republican friends
that, in candor, after comparing the
two letters of acceptance of Cleveland
and of Harrison, they should in
their efforts to disparage Cleveland's
ability. Yet Harrison is a man
not lacking in ability; he is simply
Overmatched.
Rutland Herald, Rep.
Gen. Harrison's letter of acceptance
is admirable. Its style is dignified.
HipOs1aua~AsGaest lis ID jaSI, +If0hesS"ar III
courageous. ..... Compared with
Mr.. Cleveland's dull and labOred epis-
tie, this letter glistens like refined gold.
1t shows breadth of view commensur-
ate with the magnitude of the coun
try.

The Independent Voter.

Independent voters do not consti-
tute a party, and they are a constantly
changing body. There are many of
them who voted for Mr.. Cleveland
in 1884 who will vote against him
this year, and many who opposed him
then who will support him now, and
both those who will vote as they voted
in 1884 and those who will not are
equally independent. The difference
between them is a difference of Judg-
ment as to the results of election.

Farmers Greet Harrison.

HIS SPEECH TO OHIO AND INDIANA DELEGATIONS
Gen. Harrison received two delegations yester-
day-one from Winchester and other towns in
Randolph County, Ind, and composed largely of
farmers They came on two special trains OF forty
coaches, and numbered over $780, being one OF
the largest delegations that has visited the CITY,
Among their several political organizations were
l25 Tippecanoe veterans, also q Lincoln League
Ciuo OF 200 nrst voters. At the head OF the COL
umn marched Wm Montgomery, their oldest Tip
pecanoe veteran, aged eighty-nine. Five bands
attending the state fair witnessed their parade
The second delegation came from Dayton ONO
and numbered $50, including rrty-three veterans
received the delegations jointly. He said In the
course OF his remarks 10 them:
you DO not forget, farmers though you ara
that 9o per cent OF the product OF your farms Is
consumed at home, and you are TOO wise 10 put
snat 10 peril IN greedy search after foreign Trade
You Will not sacrifice these great industries that
nave created In our country consuming Class for
your product. lApplause.l i do not think that
would wish US to adopt and yet some say that
England Is trembling lest We should adopt free
traue here and so rob her OF other markets that
she now enjoys lLaushter.] The story OF our
colonial days when England, with selfish and
lnsatlate avarice, lad her REFRESHING hand
upon our infant manufactures and attempted
10 suppress them all, furnished the first OBJ
)ect lessons she gave US. Another was given when
the lie OF this nation-the child OF England as
she had been wont TO call us, speaking the mother
tongue, having many instlt ulions Inherited from
her-was imperiled. The offer or Tree trade by the
cohlederacy so touched tue commercial greed OF
England That she forget the ties or blood and went
70 the verge Of War with Us 10 advance the cause
OF the reoel government [Applause.l But what
Is not very important, Certainly not conclusive
what Is pest Tor Us and for our people should be
the decisive question:. tApplaust.]
Al The CONCLUSION or the speech making General
Harrison came down from the platform, and Ior
over an hour shook hands with the pushing crowd

requested Oy the commissioners on the 18th OF
August l. close his place OF business and call for
his a. pos OF $780, minus the pro rata amount OF
licsnSs for the time he had been dong business.
Mr. KNIGHT was out OF the city at the Time After
he returned he learned that a warrant had Leen
sworn out against him covering violation, OF the
law during a Lion Of the uime Tor
ton had been made. A few days AGO
when Ar. Knight called for mis- money lie was in
formed that he would have 70 pay pro rata
license rate up 10 september Is. UnIer these con-
dltions he refused 70 receive the balance Of the
deposit. When be called for II yesterday he was
was IN the hands OF the attorney for ths ne
trict; that the Commissioners had ordered m VIII h

until All outstanding lnes against him had been
PAID There was an appeal case pending AGAINST
him, and In order TO obtain his license he paid the
amount OF the penalty, $40 under protest. Judge
Wylie YVES then holding the Criminal Court and
the case was called for trlal a few days after tine
money was paid No reference was made TO the

Ing a general good time There was no doubt
ABOUT the facts, but when the defendant was

surprised when he heard the certificate read and

The New York Sun says: The news Of
the administering Of extreme JUNCTION by Dr. Nc.

the deposed priest did In the case was perfectly
correct and proper under the circumstances II

The Rev. Father Arthur J. Donnelly said: 81

about, except In going on o sick call. The oils
