General Harrison has been thoroughly tested
in peace and In war, and has always been equal
to the duties imposed upon him. Hs does not
have to be apologized for in any particular. The
country knows him, and it will elect him on MS
merits and because he is giant compared with
the individual who heads the opposite ticket
Gibson County Leader
Almost every Republican you meet nova
days says that he ''feels in his bones that Ben
Harrison will be elected this fall. The members
of the party are united and confident; the enemy
are divided and disheartened. Victory for the
Republicans this fall has been placed beyond
peradventure by the nomination Of Genera!
Harrison.-Wabash Plain Dealer.
If General Harrison were the grandson OF
Aaron Burr instead of President Harrison. we
imagine the fact would have great significance
with the Democratic press, and the sentiment
would be justiisble, but il is to be hoped this
country has not reached point where an hon.
orable ancestry will prejudice man in the eyes
Of his neighbor. Monticello Herald.
Harrison is growing stronger every day The
more his private, public. professional, military
and political character Is studied the stronger
he becomes in general public opinion. The
Blaine mon, the Allison Gresham, Sherman and
Alger men. all acknowledge now, that the con-
vention did the wisest thing in selecting Harri-
son for q standard bearer.-South Bend Trib-
une
In the few DAYS that have transpired since
the nomination of Harrison and Morton. the
Indianapolis Sentinel has forfeited all right to
the claim that has been made for it, that under
its new management its tone had been improved
and its standard elevated. A more utter disre-
gard for truth and perfect abandon ment to mis-
representation we have never witnessed than 1t
Is now practicing. -Franklin Republican.

The national Democracy could never be per-
suaded to give Indiana presidential nominee,
although tho gifted, astute and popular Hen
bricks was presented time and again. The Re-
publican party has recognized the Hoosier State
in the nomination of Ben Harrison. and we shall
be blind to our own interests as people il We
do not make the most Of the compliment by ex-
tending it over four years OK time.-Madison
Courier.
A letter reaches US which asks for a copy OF
the News containing the remark of General
Harrison in the campaign of 1887" that dol
lar q day was enough for any laboring man.
This started from a foolish telegram in the In
dianapolis Sentinel. which was a fabrication
from beginning to end. The News never con-
tanned any such statement, and we have yet to
learn that General Harrison made any such re-
mark.-Goshen News (Ind.)
The Pacific coast Is all right The people out
there are for protection to American industries
and will not be disturbed by the uncertain ghost
of tho Chinese question, which in default Of
valid objections to Harrson's record, the Demo-
Gratis have summoned from peaceful grave. IL
Is q noticeable fact that the Pacific coast people,
who are we'll informed on the Chinese question,
are perfectly satisfied with Harrison and the
Republican ticket-Fort Wayne Gazette. r
1t 10 no wonder that General Harrison's can
didacy strikes popular chord andthat his name
is sweeping the country like wildfre. When
such q man, with such . record stands squarely
on such platforms platform that is conceded
TO be tho strongest and best ever put forth by q
political party-succsss must be the result. His
success means protection to the homo and to
home industries, protection TO American citi-
zepship, American honor and to American in
terests, one and all-Steubsn Republican.
General Harrison is Q recognized Republican
Republican State. He is the superior of Presi-
dent Cleveland in intellect, in learning, in
knowledge of public affairs, IN political ex-
perence and in personal qualities that should
adorn the occupant OF the presidency. His
private character is without blemish. He is q
clean man with clean record. He will place
the presidential office on a high plane. He will
keep his promises. He will Do a genuine re-
, former, not O spurious reformer. Warsaw
Times.
General Harrison's record is one that must in
spire all intelligent and fair-minded readers with
increased confidence in his qualifications for the
great position that he will undoubtedly be called
on TO occupy. He Is a man of large and liberal
views; no portion Of the Union and no Ameri
can interest is without the scope Of his careful
and earnest regard. He is distiuctivsly aud
thoroughly American in all his convictions,
aspirations and sentiments He represents tho
moro intelligent and conscientious classes Of
our people as thoroughly as any man who ever
ran for the Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.
If Ben Harrison and his party had had their way,
there would be chance to-day for State pride in
this eountry. The Republican policy has tended to
of all government at Washington. IT is due to the
Democratic party that the States have been pre-
served. indianapolis Sentinel.
II the Sentinel and it's party had had their
way. there would have been neither State nor
country for which to be proud. If the Republic

Democratic party has tended toward dismem-
berment. anarchy, ruin. The last sentence in
tho Sentinsls editorial is an unmitigated false
hood. -Greencaste Banner.
General Harrison, in his responses to various
addresses and complimentary speeches. shows a
language that reminds ono of the remarkable
speeches of the lamented Garfield and of Hon.
James G.. Blaine. General H.'s speeches
are compact and comprehensive. expressed in
words that not redundant and are directed
right to the point. At the same time they are
copious enough to do justice to the sentiment
and pathos naturally belonging to the occasion.
Harrison's long and thorough training as law.
