TWO KINDS OF MEN.

The Indianapolis Journal devotes o
column to comparison of the records
of Cleveland and Harrison, and in doing
80 suggests some rather striking CEN
trasts. We do not propose To meatIon
any names but simply to note few
contrasts in the characters and records
and positions of two men who are likely
to oconpy o iprge place in Ike pubic ey
for the next few months.
70 begin with, it appears that wheI
the war broke out one of these men,
though having q wife and two children
dependent on him for their support,
responded promptly to Lincoin's call
for volunteers and ven. to the front
while the other--,t is not necessary TO
say whish ope-though unmsrried ans
with no one dependent on him, made,
no response to his countrs's call for de.
Tenders till he was drafted, when he
hired substitute who has since died IN
g poor house.
OEe fought all shrough the war,
atormed the breast at the head OF
his regiment at. Resacca and at Peach
Tree received promotion to tho rank
Va OIbEu0ACk BChStoi III WhilO
the other-it is not necessary to say
which one-remsined at home in safe
obscurlty to complete herd book.
One by reason of his high character,
acknowledged ability and distinguished
serviees as q soldier and statesmen has
been made the nominee OF his party for
the presidency, while the other, by dint
OF what has come to be known even in
L.; 49,, g. 4 \
by the suppression of ''free ballot and
an honest count" has risen to the emf
nence OF the presidency and has so used
bis power his position gives him as to
not only compel his party to renomIast :
him but elso to place with him on the
ticket the man OF his personal peter
enee.
One of these men is updIsturbed by
the closest scratiny Of his private char
acter as we'll as his public career, while
the other--it is not necessary to say
which one--ertsrs the contest with an
expression OF hope that all s'personali-
ties" may be omitted and that this may
he clean campaign"
