Harrison 70 Tlf Front.

General Groshaal who IS being
doomed iudustriouIy as 4 presiden-
ti,,l candidate, seouk to be in al an
omalous position, i that ne has been
ignored by his qun state QndIaua)
and the entire delegation of that state
for the Chicago qbHveution has been
selected with q V bw to the candidacy
Of Senator Ben. Harrison. In fact
Indiana Is enthusiastic and unani-
nous for HaTrion. According to all
precedent this would rule Gresham
entirely out ofthe race. Gresham is
the candidate Of an extensive ring of
politicians, and, IN trying to forward
his fortunes, they wers active in try
inS TO get him ind5rsed by his state;
but the whiilwind of popular feeling
fo- Harrison easily bore dnwa- 4l-is
.ou1side current. Grs2Lal...,iiiiii"y be,
aad doubtless is. pure. able man,
h.L the Chicago convention has no
right 10 promote him over another
gho has such enthusiastic endorse
I.a..i4t from The same state- 1t would
be an insult 70 Indiana republicans
WHO have said in no unmistakahIe
terms tbat Harrison is the man they
want if an Indiana maa is to be
chosen standard bearer Il would
ieopardlze the election, and would be
az experiment which The republican
party can hardly afford to try at tins
time.
No better idea Of Senator Harris
sons popularity can be given than by
perusing the following report of n
speech made at indianapolis on the
occasion of the organization of Har-
rison club:
Il understand that it is the pur-
pose Of this meeting to effect an or
gauization 10 use every honorable
means to advance the interest OF
General Harrison for President.
" hen this is done we will be voicing
the sentiment of the Republicans of
Ind ana, [Applause We beljeys
that General Harrison's record ought
10 comend itself to every Republican
III this whole country. His attain
mants as lawyer, acquired by splen-
did faculties and the magnificent
discipline of his mind have made
him famous everywhere. His spot
less integrity the purity and nobility
OF his life, both pnbIic and private,
compel the admiration of all who
know him. When the Nation was
il danger. he relinque5hed an hon
orable and iscrative Office TO do what
he could to preserve the best govern
ment on tho face of the earth. He
took prominent part in that drama
OF retnbutiOn, TIE war OF the Rebel
lion, and won honorable mention
from his superiors for his gallant
conduct III the discharge of his duty.
Great applause When elected to
the Senate he showed himself o mas
ter in the arts of debate ard in grap-
ping with all the great questions OF
publ c interest and public welfare.
" hen the occasion offered, he always
said something, and said it well. He
was the champion Of the Territories
in their struggle for their rights. He
the introduction of any sys-
TEN that would make it possible to
unload the pauper labor OF Europe on
this country He exposed the con-
hypocrisy OF the present
administration on the
subject Of civil service reform; always
in the thickest of the fight where re-
publican principles were at stake:
never skulking in the rear; never
qGaIliag before any opposition where
his heart taughL him that he was in
the right. That. my fellow citizens.
IS tue character OF the man we want,
and that IS The man we are going to
pr sent TO tho Chicago convention On
the 1871 OF next moatA. In 1896.
wnGn the dem lerats had SO gerry
the state that Il republican
victory seemed Impossible. II was
General Harrison who said that il
must and coall be redeem med. With
t courage that was simply superb. h =
went IutO that contest rs the leadsr
Of the republican fo~css, and won the
most magnificent y!cjory IN Indiana
political contests. From tie time
