General Harrison Holds His Own.

There is no use talking, General
HsrrisOn holds the fort every time.
No matter how many delegations
call upon him he Is ready every
time with something new, sensible,
pertinent, and taking. There Is no
end of crowds that 90 to Indianap-
oils to see him, and all 90 away
pleased aud happy. There is not
man in all this broad land could
do better that could be more wise,
discreet, and practical.
Even Democrats acknowledge
this in their hearts and admit that
such enthusiasm for a candidate
was never before known as is
shown for General Harrison. And
they are dumbiOunded at his IN.
creasing popularity with the people.
For there is something about him
that cOnvinces every one who calls
on him that he Is Just the man for
the times. His speeches, too, are
marvellous, and carry conviction to
thousands of hearts. Such a man
surely ought to succeed. He is
worthy, just, and brave. He must
triumph. He will triumph.

A Democratic Lie.
NAILED BY AN INDIANA DEMOCRAT
WHO BELIEVES IN THE TRUTH.
Ansonis Comm Sentinel.


Dickerman NJ. Bassett, of Blrm-
ingham, Conn, wrote a letter to
his friend in indianapolis, William
Henderson, and the reply is print
ed below. Mr.. Henderson is a
Democrat of prominence IN In
diana, a leading member of the
Indianapolis Bar, and a relative OF
the late Vice President Hendricks
sd. N. Bassett, Esq.,, Birmingham
Conn.,:
DEAR SIR am in receipt Of
your letter of the Cd INST. stating in
substance that Mr.. Pendleton OF
this city addressed a Democratic
meeting IN Jour town last Satur
day, IN which he said he never he
lieved General Harrison had said
that a dollar day was enough for
a workingman until he obtained an
affidavit signed by twelve prOmi'
nent citizens OF indianapolis, who
swore that they heard him utter
the words. have to reply to this
that / am not a supporter of Gen
eral Harrison or a defender OF
apologlst for what he has said oil
none, but having lived in the same
town with him for thirty-fve years
and during that time never heard
him accused OF a mean act or an
unkind word of any one, rich OF
poor, and being called on by you
for the fact of this utterance,
would be doing him great injustice
If were to decline to answer your
respectful letter. That he ever ut
tered such q word IS not believed
by a single respectable Democrat
in the State of Indiana. | have
been engaged in active business in
this city for about thirty eight
years, and have known and now
know all the prominent men of the
city, and do not know single one
of the 80 called prominent men re-
ferred to by Mr.. Pendleton. This
thing is a silly falsehood, gotten
up for influencing voters abroad
and not at home. The thing is 80
basely false that the Democratic
State Committee and the County
Committee of this county refuse to
give it cOuntenance.

The Parrot and the Old Man.
From the New York Press.

The Bowery parrot was enjoying
the sun yesterday, as the cage had
been placed on a three.legged stoo
on the sidewalk in front of the
abode of the remarkable bird. A
man, evidently a wage Garner, OF
sixty, was passing and paused as
the bird SAID in its most insinusting
way:
"The tariff is tax"
"Now that won't do,p said the
man OF sixty, "for | know better.
A few nights ago heard a Demo
cratic orator say was taxed near
ly 100 per cent. on my blankets
Not believing this statement |
looked up some Old bills which |
had among my papers and found
that blankets such as my sou, " no
was recently married, paid S1.9O
and $2.5S for, cost me IN 1860,
$3.50 and 1915. Further inquiry
brought out the fact that blankets
that sell today for $1.O2 sold in
1860 for 81. The blanket that sells
now for $1.45 sold in 1860 for $3.50.
The blanket that sells now for
s1.31 sold in 1860 for 1925. The
blanket that sells now for &4.35
sold for $3.50 IN 1860, The blanket
that sells for $685. now, sold for
$40 in 1860. The blanket that
sells now for $3.50 sold for $l3 IN
1860. Come, old bird, how do you
get over these facts y
"The tariff IS a tax" screamed
the bird, plucking a feather from
his head by way OF emphasizing
the wisdom of his conclusion.

THE WARNING Wall.

The New York Herald Of Mon
day last gave the following letter
very prominent place on its edltO-
rial page. 1t is dated from Bat
falo:
/ am hurrying through the western
counties, for / am sick of this eternal but
tOnholing and corner grocery tariff discus
sion. You can make up your mind that
unless some extraordinary change occurs
between now and October 6, Harrison will
20 down to High Bridge with something
ike 10000 plurality. II New York city

IL not, he will have to pack up and come
back TO Buffalo. You can get nc idea in
your present surroundings of the situation
in the country. The Republicans are
making fierce, intelligent aud 80 far sue
cessful fight. 1t was a mistake for Clevc-
land TO raise the tariff issue. | can see
that now for the first time.
The surface argument is, a. you know,
all in favor Of the Republicans, and that
Is the argument that catches the country
men. There are large defections Of life
long Democrats among the farmers every
where have been. In Rochester the men
in control OF the Democratic organization
will knife Cleveland sure. They are very
bitter against him, and in private make
no bones OF II. In Steuben county the
Democrats are all smashed up. Cleye-
lands appOintees are lot Of milk and
water jackanapes, who let their enemies
scoop everything. The only notable ex-
ception 10 jim HsnlOn, internal revenue
collector, who lives at Medina, and il
making the most extraordinary fight in
Orleans county have yet come across.
He's daisy. The Democrats In Niagara
county are saving their money n use on
election day. God bless them.
The facts which have just come
home to this correspondent have
been known to the Republicans for
six weeks past. The poll OF the
state OF New York, by the Repub-
lican committee, showed clearly
that the Republicans would sweep
the state, outside of the cities OF
New York and Brooklyn, by an
immense majority. 1t is impOssi-
BILE that Cleveland shall have more
than $4,000 to $4,000 majority in
these cities, in the opinion of cool
headed judges. The Democrats
claim only $4,000. The Empire
State seems very sure for Harrison.
The desperation of the Demo
Gratis is shown in the last sentence
of the above letter. Not only In
Niagara county, but everywhere in
the State-and not only in that
state, but all over the North-they
are pllIng up an aggregate OF han
dreds OF thousands of dollars, to be
used corruptly. Their only hope
is in finding enough venal voters
to literally buy the election. Toledo

LORD SACKvILLE DISMISSED

len udyS ago tue country learn
ed that the British Minister had
undertaken to tell American citi-
zens how to vote. 1t has taken
the President all that time TO find
out that something had to be done
about it. At last he has done what
was demanded from the very first
by more astute and devoted
Democratic leader, the Editor of
the \. Y. SIN. He has closed diplo.
matte relations with the offending
Minister. AS to the Minister, this
is Just. AS to the political en-
barrassments he has created, 1t is
too late to do any good.
A prompt rebuke administered
the instant Lord Sackyille was dis
covered NEEDING In our election
might have caused people in their
satisfaction with such a maintenance
of the Executive dignity to over
look the fact that the British Min.
lster was cleo tioneering in Mr..
Cleveland's interest, because he
knew it was the interest of Great
Britain. But the President waited
too long. lie did not discover any.
thing wrong IN the matter till the
uprOar in the country showed that
the exposure was hurting him.
Then he got mad.
The real Importance of the Incl.
dent lies in the conclusive proof Of
the English feeling and judgment
it furnishes, and that is not in the
least affected by the Presidents
tardy action. From the outset Of
this campaign the Republicans
have declared that the Admins.
tratiOn's policy was British policy,
and that it received warm approval
by such intelligent Free Traders as
the English, because they knew it
to be in their interest. Just as
soon as Mr.. Cleveland's party found
out that this opinion was hurting
them, they denied it; denied
that they favored tree trade,
and denied that the English
were on their side. Yet
Mr.. Cleyeland's message on the
tariff was received with an out.
burst Of English approval. The
Mills bill had an equally warm
welcome in England. Mr.. Cleve.
land s denomination received the
unanimous support of the English
press, and his Retaliation Message
was treated with gOOd.natured in.
difference as a necessity Of the
home canvass. And now the Brit
ish Minister says I'm substance to
English voters on the Pacific Coast
who claim to be disturbed by that
message that it means nothing, and
that when the Presidents re.elec-
ton is secured he will again favor
English interests.
This revelation Of the English
Minister'S feeling and belief is the
important point. Nothing that
can now be done Will obscure IT.
Getting mad at it after finding that
his maladroit letter does harm does
not change the facts nor cause the
people 10 forget them. He was
awkward enough to let the cat out
Of the bag and it cannot be caught
and concealed again by waiting ten
days to estimate the damage, and
finally telling him to 60 home. Too
late, Mr.. Cleveland, too late.

TABLE OF ELECTORAL VOTES
ORIGINAL AND BORROWED

The prospect for the success OF
the Republican ticket grows
brighter and brighter every day.
General Harrison has made a
splendid contest, and he deserves
the victory that awaits him.
Estimates are interesting, but
the votes next Tuesday will tell
the only reliable story Of the con
test.
Henry George is frank in giving
his reasons for supporting Presi-
dent Cleveland. "I am for Grover
Cleveland because 1 am a free
trader he says.
Both the Republicans and the
Democrats have polled Indiana,
and each poll shows heavy Re
publican majority. Harrison will
carry the state by over 10000.
Fire your ballots on Tuesday
next square into the face of the
British Free Trade lion by voting
for Harrison, Morton, Roller and
Protection
Not that England loved West
less, but Cleyeland more, West
has gone East. Let Cleveland do
likewise and the country will be
safe.
In public speech Henry George
declared: 81 stand on Cleveland's
side, and ask you to aid in his re.
election. am a free trader abso.
lutely. l say abolish the tariff al
together"
Here is a photograph of the sit
uatiOn among the New York Dem
ocrats: The fellows who like Cleve-
land hate Hill, and the fellows who
like Hill hate Cleveland, and these
fellows all carry knives in their
sleeves this year.

Committee in an address "to the
voters OF the State OF New York.

October % to achieve a victory
on November 9th is another. On
the whole, we prefer the latter.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Standard ;
There are thousands aud thousands
OF men who never voted a Republi
can ticket in their lives aud may
never do so again, who will vote
for Harrison and Morton in this
campaign, because they believe in
protection to American labor and
American industries that are de.
termined to beat free trade.
The surplus is no longer an issue.
IL has been shown that 1t can be
reduced without disturbing a sin
Gle American industry. The real
issue is, how shall the reduction
be made-by striking a deadly
blow st protection by the Mills bill,

Lookout for the campaign liar
from now until the election. He
always puts in his heaviest work
when the time grows too short for
contradiction. The Democratic
