PRESS COMMENTS.
Hartford Poa Alliterative Burchard has
gone to Cleveland Good May bis usual
luck attend him.
Rochester Democrat aud Chronicle; Motto
Of the Mugwump: would rather be wrong
than be consistent.
Sioux City Journal: The more that is
known Of Ben Harrison the more clearly ii
appears that he is all right.
Peoria Transcript Chairman Darnum has
not yet selected the man who shall write
the Morey letter of lsSS.
Detroit Tribune: Let the Bourbon SANDER
mills keep right on grinding. They will
grind ont votes for Harrison if they keep at
it long enough.
Buffalo Efpress: The Democrats have a
great deal TO say against paying war taxes
any longer. But they keep very still about
Grover Cleveland's shrinking of his peace
taxes.
Ben Harrison is what Ex- Governor Bishop
calls good mixer as every Hoosier who
ever came in contact with him knows. He
is hearty and cordial with everybody, and
knows how to shake. "-Daytoa Journal.
Kansas City Journal:
We Il have no banner Of English stuff,
No red bandana and Thurman snuff.
For u Old Glory is good enough
Up with the stars and Stripes
Harrisburg Telegraph If prominent Dem
ocrats in Pennsylvania keep on jumping in
to the Republican camp and denouncing
Cleveland and free trade, Chairman Kisner
will have TO shut up his Bill Scott headquar-
tiers and beg Chairman Cooper not to make
it unanimous.
Rochester Democrat, The President has set
up new department not authorized by the
constitution or by statute. He has named a
certain number of pension clerks to review
and pass upon the action of Congress in ref
errence TO pension measures before he finally
acts upon them.
Brooklyn Standard Union When the
Boston Herald observes OF the tariff matter,
Sc 1t is especially to be borne in mind that
business is suffering while this question is
was not suffering before its party began to
tinker with the tariff.
Cincinnati TTSaos-Star: The CHICAGO plat
form was constructed by others, but the
essential timbers were hewed ont by Mr..
Sherman. In the coming campaign the dis
tinguished men selected to bear the Repub-
lican banner in forefront, upon this platform
will have in the Ohio Senator their wiSest
safest counsellor, their ablest ally, their most
powerful champion,
st. Louis Globe Democrat As matter of
fact, the Chinese issue is an exploded one.
The Pacific coast has obtained all it wants
in that connection, and has no test TO apply
to candidates on the question of Chinese i'm
migration. What the people out there are
most interested in now is not the exclusion
of Chinese labor, but of Chinese and other
foreign products which the Democratic party
proposes TO admit free of duty, or at such a
reduction of duties as would prove -disas-
trous to local interests. ON that question
they know General Harrison to be thorough
ly correct and reliable.
ST. Paul Dispatch: The Republican party
takes as lis standard bearer the descendant
of one who signed the charter of American
liberty, and it proclaims that, so far as in it
lies, it will maintain the inalenable and in
estimable blessings bequeathed by the father
of the Republic that il will adhere to those
doctrines and practices in government which
have preserved the American people for more
than a century in state of happiness and
prosperity, which have made ours the model
government of the world. and which have
won forus the fear as well as the unwilling
admiration of despotism in every land.
Boston Heraid: The Democrats have
nothing TO gain by deprccia;ing General Har-
rison's strength in Indiana 1t is considera-
bic. He had not a very strong candidate for
an opponent when he ran for Governor, but
liarrison's canvass gave him a great reputa-
ton with his party and made him the lead
er Of it in his State. Unless there is some
thing 10 affect his vote this year beyond
what is known TO exist, he will give his OPP
poncnt very hard pull, and with the Dem
ocratic dissatisfaction TO President Cleve-
land that exists in Indiana, and the disgust
occasioned among the civil-service reformers
toward him, Harrison is not unlikely to car
ry the State. He will make an earnest fight
for it, in any event.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Now that
Blaine has refused nomination, and Harri-
son is nominated, and Cleveland has over
come his scruples against second term, and
is a scrambling candidate, the Mugwump
editors show up as Democrats. And the ed
itors we believe, comprise the whole force.
They have no followers There is not a trace
of the Mugwump in any election return.
The scattering Wumpers that have not soft
ening of the brain and know enough to
know where they are. know they belong to
the Democratic party and are in its bowels.
We are glad this departed faction has found
its place. They are indulging in small way
the same malieiousness towards Harrison
that they cultivated with respect to Blaine
II is pleasant to reflect that the Chicago Ma
tional Republican Convention did not make
nominations agreeable 10 the dudes, who are
TO American politics what the phylloxera
has been to the French vines-the outbreak
of plague that comes of too much artificial
enrichment of the soil. The nomination of
Harrison in isss is not an apology for
nominating Blaine in 1851: and The hostility
of the Mugwump press is expected aud solic-
