The Campaign of 40.

ally recalls to the older people of the
country the memorable log cabin
and hard cider campaign in which
Gen. Harrison's grandfather was the
candidate. In that canvass the

to Gen. William henry Harrison, because
in 1911, when he was governor of Indiana
Territory, he commanded troops which
fought and won one of the bloodiest bat
ties with the Indians, known in the his
tory of our Indian wars. The white sold
iers lost sixty-two killed aud 1876 wounded,

believe a truthful description Of the aX-
element of that old campaign. Among
lts Incidents was mass meeting of %, 900
voters gathered from all over the State
which filled Court House square" in this
town IL was called to order by Senator
