is great gain to the country. There
can be no excuse on either side for a
mere personal canvass and fortu-
nately the position of the two parties
on the question of taxation are so
radically opposed that the canvass
can be made, and will be made, we
believe, mainly on this question.

ONE RIGHT, THE OTHER WRONG.
For the working out of the reforms
which The Times believes to be the
chief issue of our politics the Demo-
cratic party, with its present candi-
dates, is the "better instrument to
use Mr.. Tilden's expression. Its
candidates are incompatible super
Tor to those of the Republicans, and
the announcement of purposes with
which it enters the contest is more
satisfactory, and in respect to the
dominant issue is firmly right when
the other is hopelessly wrong.

WILL BE DIsAsTRoUsLY BEATEN.
With a nominee fifty chosen by
the monopoly machine to represent
its worst developments; without the
winning personal qualities that
sometimes lend strength to the rep
resentatives of failing causes a mega
tive candidate on a negative plat
form the figurehead of reaction
airy movement against equal rights
and the just protection of American
labor and Northumberland Har-
rison will be beaten most disastrous
ly by the forces of progress and
American prosperity, led for the
second time to triumph by Grover
Cleveland.

LOOK OUT FOR A POPULAR UPRISING.
With a man so strong and worthy,
the Republican party has a right to
lock for popular uprising not I'M
like that which swept Martin Van
Buren, from power in 1910. He had
been successful through arts of the
demagogue; he had prostituted the
public service to his private ambi-
ton and the people found four years
of Democracy more than enough
They elected Harrison to put an
end to the prostitution of the public
service, and this year the election of
another Harrison would bring the
same result.

ENTIRELY FIT TO BE MADE.
The nomination is one entirely
fit to be made, though we do not
think it is the best that was within
the reach of the convention.

THE ISSUE ABOVE THE MEN.
But there will be no personal as
sailing of Harrison by the Democra-
tic Managers, or no assaults upon
his character and public life that
self-respecting men will publicly
countenance. There is good ground
for believing that the canvass, though
vigorous and earnest, will not be
disiigured by gross.

SOUND VIEWS AND A MANLY COURSE.
On the great question of the day
Senator Harrison has shown sound
views and manly course A re-
view ofhis career inspires confidence
that the government would be safe
in his hands.
Philadelphia Inquirer, Rep.
MEDIOCRE AND INoFFENsIvE.
On the whole the Republican
ticket is mediocre and inonensivc
and the great issues of the campaign
will not be affected by the person
atty Of either candidate.
