There is no doubt that General
Harrison arouses an immense amount
OF enthusiasm. but it is enthusiasm for

We have DO disposition to mix
up in the fight between Mr. Harrison
and the laboring men, but we submit
that the refusal to regard an honest
working-man as u responsible person
is decidedly un-American and wholly
reprehensible. .-Indianapolis Sentinel.
If Mr.. Blaine's throat had got

disguise. - Cincinnati Enquirer.

Unable to recommend reduc-
tion OF taxes and unwilling to advise
reckless expenditures, General Har.
rison seems to be casting frantically
about for some other method of re.
moving the troublesome surplus, and
in doing so he founders into very deep
and dangerous waters. The only solid
and safe ground to take is to demand
that the surplus be removed by re-
! moving its cause-excessive taxation.
Any method short of this is as tenn
porary device risky, and as perma.
nent policy inexcusable. .-Providence
