THE NOMINEES GRANDFATHER.

Undoubtedly the most popular man IN
America at the time of his death was
President VIM. Henry Harrison. He died
on the 4th of April, 1871, exactly one
month after his inauguration; and it was
even said that his death was partly caused
by the fatigue Of the unceasing congrat-
ulation and handshakiugs of his innumer
able friends. He was by nature genial and
alfable; and his many services for his
country during period of fifty years,
from his boyhood up, had endeared him
alike to all sections of the nation. Born
at Berkeley, Virginia, educated at Hlmp-
den Sidney College, after the death of
his father, the signer of the Declaration
of Independence, and imbued with its
patriotic sentiments, he diSregarded the
advice of his guardian and got an APPOINT
ment in the army. The disasters which
had befallen the soldiers in the Ohio from
tiers only intensified his desire to enter
the lists against the savage redskins, that
of G neral Henry Lee, he obtained an
appointment in the army as ensign ia the
Fist Regiment of United State Infantry.
lie Immediately, without Military ednca-
tion, Joined his regimentat Fort Washing
ton, the site OF the present city of Clncin-
natl, Ohio. Brought up in luxury, he was
launched into all the roug lness of active
campaign life at the age o. nineteen,
stripping, tall, slender and delicate in
health. From the time, till his election
as president, he was identified with all
the wars, against both the British and
Indians, in which his country was en-
gagged. Ohio was almost an unbroken
wilderness, affording neither comfort nor
shelter for man or beast. Yet, here the
gallant young hero began his life work,
which reached Its climax nearly half
century after the whole country, follow
ing the enthusiastic lead of the young
and growing West, swept down all De-
mocratic obstacles and landed him tri
umphantly In the White House where
Martin Van Buren, had desperately strug
gled for a second term.
The issue then was exactly the same
as that of to-day. Van Blreu advocated
a low tariff, and said chat it was better
for poor man to labor for siA cents
day and a mutton chop under low t:ritf
than 30 get two dollars "A day aud roast
beef under high tariff" The laboriug
men differed with him, and his defeat was
overwhelming.
Harrison had made no party pledges of
civil service reform, but he was the first
man i'll America to countenance 1t 10
practice. He found the offices all filled
by rampant Democrats appointed by
jackson and Van Buren,. He was highly
regarded as youth by Mrs. Washington
as well as the Peytons and Rtndolphs, of
Virginia, and with their aid, and under
the most merciless application OF the
'spoils system" OF which they were the
authors aud executors: but ii ,rriSon

GEN. BENJAMIN HARRISON.
Sketch of the Indiana Favorite and the
Party's Choice.

Party's Choice.
Hon. j. Scott Harrison, and grandson OF
President William Henry Harrison, was
born at the home of his grandfather,
North Bend, Ohio, August 20, 1888. He
was thus seven years old when his distn-
guished ancestor was elected president
of the United States, in 1910. on the
Wing platform of protection for American
industry. He graduated at Miami Uni
versity, Oxford, Ohio, in 1852 when he
was nineteen years old, with high honors.
He began the study OF law in Cincinnati,
aud year after his graduation, he mar
ried Miss Carrie l.. Scott, of Oxford, and
whose acquaintance he had MADE while
he was in college. ln 1854 he commenced
the practice of law, and settled in In
dianapolis. He soon rose to distinction
in his profession, and gained prominence
as successful lawyer. In 1860 he was
a candidate for reporter of the Supreme
Court of Indiana, and after many joint
debates with Governor Hendricks, was
elected. In July, 1862, having taken an
active part in raising the SEVENTEEN
Indiana Regiment, he was elected and
commissioned colonel by Governor Morton
and at once went into active service in
Kentucky, Tennessee and elsewhere with
the army of the beraud. During
his absence the Democratic Supreme
Court declared his Office vacant, but in
1864 he WAS re elected by a large majority.
He served in the army uutil the close OF
the war, attaining the rank of brigaiier
general, and receiving high commenda-
ton from his commanding general.

General Harrison is grandfather as
well as a grandson. His family con-
sists of his wife, one son and one daugh-
ter. The latter was married a few
years ago to J. R. Mckee, an Indian
apolis merchant, and they have one
child, of whom Gen. Harrison is ex-
tremely fond.

The issue is squarely joined, let the
music begin.
The Republicans, present General
Harrison of Indiana as their candidate
for the Presidency. They present him
on a platform which pledges protection
to American industries, and the eleva-
ton of the American working man,
above the degradation of the European
level.
The Democrats, present Cleveland
on platform which points unequlvo
cally to free-trade, and the reduction
of the laboring classes of America to
the starvation level OF the pauper classes
of Europe.
Let the American working man take
his choice.

The nomination of Harrison was
reasonable concession to the doubtful
States, and, therefore, good politics. In
the fifth ballot taken on Saturday New
Jersey, Indiana, New York and Con-
necticut cast OF votes for Harrison Out
of total of 1870. These are the States
that will have to be made Republican
to elect the candidate of the conven-
ton, and it is right, therefore, that the
wishes of their delegates should be re-
corded

votes from every State and Territory

New YORK, June 25.-The Sun says
Harrison is not a great man or great
political genius, but nobody need believe
that he is an insignificant candidate.
While lots of great mel were voting in
favor of the law to exclude the Chinese
from the United States. Harrison voted
against it. This sho VS. that he has his
own ideas. and is not afraid to act upon
them, whether they are popular or not.
1t NAV now lose him votes in California
and Oregon, but it will gain him votes
elsewhere. He is straight Republican,
yet involved in no factional animosities.
Everybody who has ever belonged to the
Republican party can support him. Stall
warts, half breeds, Blaine men, Conkling
men-aIl can take Harrison without sac
ritice of feeling.
