 What's the matter with Ben Hsrri. son?" and Hes all right" are cries that are heard on every hand in this cIty thls week. If the enthusias m for Harrison and Morton has grown as rapidly all ov. CT the country-and the presumption is that 1t hss-the campaign is likely to be the most enthusiastic siocs thatin lS40 which resulted in the election ol Gen Harris"n's grandfather Co ;he presideu. cy.
 Personally Gen. HErrisou and MT Morton are both beyond the reach of the slightest whisper of Teproach. Gen Harrison was 6 gallant soldier during the war ot the rebellion, entering the army Gs lieutenant. ard being muster. ed out at tAe close of the war ss 6 brig adler general or volunteers, he served one term ID tine senate, and would have been reelected If the democrats of Ia. diana had not resOrted to the most bare ! laced frEuds in ths election Of she leg ! is.ature which elected his successor Hr | Iurpie the present junior Senator frou that state. rhst Indiana will cast her l5 electoral votes for him in November there con be no doubt-it IS already conceded by many democrats. Mr. Mor. ton belongs to the class of patriotic bus. iness men who noblY stood bJ the Gov eTOment m it's hour of need, and risked their fortunes to furnish the necessary money 10 carry the var to Q successful close, sctusted by precisely the same motives that Harrison wss. in enlistins s as soldier-the preservation of the Union. NIT. Morton hss served honora. ply ss s member of the Hcuse of Repre-. sentative, and as United States minister to FrRI:e, He is extremely popular ir New York State. which will give Harri. son and Morton 36 electoral votes.
 The views expressed by the following prominent republicans give 8 good idea otthe satisfaction with which the nomi. nations were received at the Capital Senator Edmunds-"Gensrsl Harrison is first rate man. He always command ed my admiration srd respect. He will be elected. and will make first rate president" Senator Hswley-"Har. rison is admirably qualified for | the presidency. Not solitary syllable can be utteted against bis pri. vste life and his public life has been con spicuously commepdBble. We can win with him." Senator Allison: "The nomination is sn excellent one, which | Gill develop the whole strength of the party. Gen. Harrison Is brilliant map an experienced statesman and patriot Senator Mitchell: T regard the nomi- nation of Harrison as one of the strong est that could have been msde." Ssns tor Paddock: "Hsrnson vAs not my choice. I was for Allison. The nomi nation however is 8 good one. He VII carry Indisna, and, 1 predict, be elect ed" Senator Chandler: Harrison is [ fearless soldier and an able statesman | He will be elected" Senator Blair Harrison is 0 strong msn personally. predict that be will be elected and serve out hIs grsn6fsther's term | Represep tative Reed: "Tbe nomination IS entirely satisfactory Representa- | tive Burrows: "I think the convention did its work we'll. It did not los, sight of the fsct that the battle was ir be wsg4d in the doubtful states. snC they have msde the strongest possible l llchcL lO CtEI1 son's election is certain" Representa- tive Morrow, of Cslifornis; "I have msd' a personel investigation of HsIrisoni record, and find him all right on lh' Chinese question sInce the treaty O 1882, and think be vill sweep the Psoifit elope" Columns might be filled witl the good words spoken of the ticket b the Republicans in Congress. All sr' confident of overE helniDg victory. S' be it.
 The great tariff fight In the hous' over the Mills bill has begun Hgain, snC when it will end is problem. Tb, Democratic convention endorsed tn bill, and that infused new courage int the members of that party tO fight fo it's passage. The Republican conven iiou endorsed the action of the Repub hcan members in their policy of oppo sition to the bill-that of insisting upOl iull and free discussion of items ia tn bill believing 1t 10 be the duty of tn Republicans 10 expose the dsprerou | absurdifies whi-h the Democrats sr endsavoring to place upon the statut books. If ore or the other party doe not weld. the Fiftieth Congress a like ly 10 remaIn ID continuous session mt It's death, at noon on March 4th, lSS. for If esch item is tO be discussed a fully as those which have Blrc sly bee reached. they will not be through b | that time.
