been honorably accomplished by his own

IN the Senate Chamber of the United States.
ST. Louis Globe Demoous {Repl: General
Harrison was faithful soldier, and never
refused to obey orders but once in all
his military career. That was when he was
directed 10 surrender fugitive slave who
was IN his camp in Kentucky, and he wrote
across his message: Il decline 10 obey this
order"
Chicago Hcmtanle; fScandinavian): Har.
rison and Morton are both men Of the peo-
pie; they are both men whose private lives
are without bismish; and they are both
typical Republicans The great principles
OF the Republican party can hardly fail to
pave the way 10 victory. If any thing else
We're needed the happy nomination of Harri-
son and Morton would surely bring success

Philadelphia Press: Mayor Hewitt, Of New
York, pronounces General Harrison "a
good man. a good-locking man, perfect
gentleman, and one to whom no fair minded
man can take exception That IS first

vigor and earnestness, and for the unan-
unity of the party. There viii be no mug

Wheeling Intsuiscncer: We do not see
any Republican newspaper or public man
foaming at the mouth with excitement over
the thing which troubled the easily I'M

the Pacific Coasters rolled into Chicago

They took Harrison, who was already their
second choice, and they have NO flaws to
pick in his Chinese record.
Trenton On. j. Gazettc: The nomination

President will also be strong and popular

Washington POST Let US, then, have an
honest, not hypocritical campaign. The
issue is not one of details as to protective
tariff. 1t is much bigger than that. The
Democrats strike at the heart of the pro-
tectiye theory, for they deny the right of
Congress to lay tax for protection. Dem
ocrats who are too cowardly to come up to
the issue squarely will do well to drop out
and fall to the rear. The lodging and
squirming and lying of 1880 are not going to
be repeated this year.
Mayor Hewitt, of New York: For the
first time within my recollection what may
be termed the personal equation of the can
aidate is eliminated from the contest mas
much as either Of the gentlemen who are
put in nomination for President will I'M
doubtedly fill the Office with credit and sue
cess. This fact, fortunately, makes it pos
sible to concentrate public attention upon
the principles which the candidates repre-
sent, as expressed in the platforms adopted
oy the respective National conventions.
