POLITICAL NOTES.

Citizen Rarnum, of Brooklyn, recog-
Mics the great power for good of Gen
eral Harrison's addresses and he writes
thus to the New York Tribune: " Permit
me to suggest to you, and through you
to the chairman of the Campaign Com
mittee, that you publish General Harri-
sons speeches delivered to the thou
sands who have called upon him since
he was nominated. Print them in leaf

Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania
never spoke slightingly of General Har-
risOn. Nobody seriously supposed he
did. The Camerons are not built that
way. They are loyal party men. partic-
uIarly when the party has such good
men as Harrison and Morton. Senator
Cameron says he entertains a very high
opinion of the safe and conservative
tendencies of General Harrison, and
says the latter does not gush, He is sta
bile and sensibe-like the Camerons,
father and son.
The Democrats are dreadfully put out
that Mr.. Blaine refused to be ''ovated"
on his Western tour. They wanted to
say that Blaine, not Harrison, is the
real candidate And for that matter,
the little circumstance that the state
ment isn't true don't much trouble them. |
They mad made up their minds to say it,
and say it they do,
General Harrison is certainly proving
himself to be one Of the most interesting
and resourceful public speakers that the !
country has ever known. His addresses
are models of vigor, dignity and good
taste, and no man in the party IL doing
more TO bring about that splendid tri- |
umph of Republican princit les which is |
now practically assured,
When General Harrison goes cunning
he brings back game, His record of
centre shots has given him the reputa-
ton OF fine marksman. Every time
he levels his rifle Democratic faleshood
or free trade faIlacy is brought down.
The remarks of General Harrison to
his Irish fellow citizens have won him
many additional friends and supporters
among that race, They know he means
what he says. General Harrison isn't
any other sort of man.
Even trade is looking up and the crops,
with few exceptions, are good. If hea-
ven helps those who help themselves, %
does it help party that helps mankind.
Fate and votes will certainly elect Har-
ri5on and Morton.
Our Democratic friends find that
much they would like to say against the
Republican party was said four yea rs
ago, 1t is hard TO start brilliant ex-
plo.ion with burnt powder.
II is noteworthy that every pivotal
State has an exceptionally good local
ticket to help the national ticket along
There's no use talking. That counts.
