The grandfather of our Presiden

The grandfather of our Presiden.
tial nominee 4S years ago ran against
q man from New York, who was
after second term, the issue being
the same as now, the tariff. William
Henry Harrison defeated this man
from New YORK, who was after re-
election and who advocated a low
tariff. Now, 4S years later, we have
the grandson of William Henry
Harrison pitted against another man
from New York, who very much
desires reelection and the issue is
practically the same as in 40. The
parallel does not cease here, either.
Our Harrison will be elected, as was
his grandfather and the man from
New YORK will be showed under, as
was Van Buren,.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The Grandest Document Ever Presen.
ted by Any Party.

The Republicans of the United
States assembled, by their delegates,
in National Convention, pause on the
Threshold of their proceedings to
honor the memory of their first great
leader, the immortal champion OF
Liberty and the rights of the people,
Abraham Lincoln. and to cover also
with wreathS of imperishable re-
membrane and gratitude the heroic
names of our later leaders who have
more recently been called away from
our councils-Grant, Garfield, Ar
thur, Logan, and Conkling. Nav
their memories be faithfully cherish
ed. We also recall, with our greet
ings and with prayers for his recov-
cry, the name of our living heroe,
whose memory will be treasured in
the history both of Republicans and
of the Republic, the name of that
noble soldier and favorite child Of
victory. Phillip III. Sheridan.
| SYMPATHY WITH IRELAND AND
BRAZIL.
In the spirit of these great leaders
and of our own devotion to human
liberty. and with that hostility to all
forms of despotism and oppression
which is the fundamental idea of the
Republican party. we send fraternal
congratulation to our fellow Ameri-
cans of Brazil upon their great act of
emancipation which completed the
abolition of slavery throughout the
two American continents. We earn
estly hope that we may soon con-
graduate our fellow citizens of Irish
birth upon the peaceful recovery of
home rule for Ireland.
EQUAL RIGHTS AND A FREE BALLOT.
We reaffirm our answering devo-
ton to the Nation Constitution
and to the indissoluble union of the
States to the autonomy reserved to
the States under the constitution f; to
the personal rights and liberties of
citizens in all the States and terri
tories in the Union and especially to
the supreme and sovereign right of
every lawful citizen, rich or poor,
native or foreign born, white or
black, to cast one free ballot in pub
lie elections and to have that ballot
duly counted. We hold the free and
honest popular ballot and the just
and equal representation of all the
people to be the foundation of our
Republican government and demand
effective legislation to secure the in
tegrity and purity of elections, which
are the fountains of all public author
ity we charge that the present adj
ministration and the Democratic
majority in Congress owe their ex-
istence to the suppression of the bal
lot by criminal notification of the
constitution and laws of the United
States.

BENJAMIN q. HARRISON.
Sketch of Our Candidate for President |

Sketch of Our Candidate for President
General Benjamin Harrison, son of
Hon. j. Scott Harrison. and grand
son 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 distinguished an
cestor was elected President of the
United States. in 1910, on the Wing
platform of protection tor American
industry. He graduated at Miami
University. Oxford. Ohio. in 1852,
when he was nineteen years old,
with high honors. He began the
study of law in Cincinnati, and year
after his graduation he married Miss
Carrie l.. Scott, Of Oxford, whose
acquaintance he had made while in
college. In 1854 he commenced the
practice of law and settled in Indian
apolis. He soon rose to distinction
in his profession. and gained promi-
hence as a successful lawyer. In 1860
he was a candidate for reporter of
the Supreme Court of Indiana, and
after many joint debates with Gov
ernor Hendricks, was elected, In
July, 1862, having taken an active
part in raising the Seventeen Indi-
ana 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
Cumberland. During his absence the
Democratic Supreme Court declared
his Office vacant. but in 1864 he was
reelected by large majority.
He served in the army until the
close of the war. attaining the rank
of Brigadier General. and receiving
high commentator from his COM
manding general.
When the war was over he resum-
ed the practice of law, in which he
became we'll known throughout the
State, and was often engaged in the
most important law suits occurring
in the West. In 1876 he was induced,
much against his inclination, to ac-
cept the Republican nomination for
governor, but was defeated, although
leading all other candidates on his
ticket.
In 1880 he headed the Indiana del
egation at Chicago, where be combat.
ted the "third term" movement, and
was largely instrumental in bringing
about the nomination of Garfield. In
the campaign of 1880 he was very
active, and the Republicans gaining
the ascendency in the legislature, he
was elected to the United States Sen
ate, where he served six years with
distinction. In 1884 he was often
spoken of as an available nominee
for the Presidency; but he declined
to allow his name to go before the
convention. In that campaign the
Democrats, coming into power again,
made an infamous gerrymander of
the legislative districts of the State
by which they supposed the election
of a Republican Senator was rendered
impossible. But in 1886 the Repub-
licans, under the leadership of Har-
rison. and the main issue being the
question of his reelection, elected
their State ticket, as well as major
ity of the legislature but one of the
houses, being Democratic, unlawfully
expelled Republicans enough to give
themselves majority of two on joint
ballot, and thereby defeated the will
Of the people and elected Turpie.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-06-30

This year, delegates favorable to
the nomination of Harrison had been
chosen in every congressional district
in the State of Indiana, and the State
convention instructed the delegates
at-large to exhaust every honorable
means to secure his nomination.
Thus Indiana was solid for her favor

ieCelFo III the pOrLS OF the united
States. We condemn the policy of
the present administration and the
Democratic majority in Congress to-
wards our fisheries as unfriendIy and
conspicuously unpatriotic and as
tending to destroy valuable national
Industry and an indispensable re-
source of defense against a foreign
enemy. The name American applies
to all citizens Of the redubIic and i'm.
poses upon all alike the same obliga-
ton Of obedience to laws, and at the
same time that citizenship is and
must be the panoply and safeguard of
him who wore it, and protect him,
whether high or low, rich or poor. in
all his civil rights 1t should and
must afford him protection at home
and follow and protect him abroad
in whatever land he may be on a
lawful Grand.
A SIDE WIPE AT THE MUGWUMPS,
The men who abandoned the Re-
publican party in 1884 and continue
to adhere to the Democratic party,
have deserted not only the cause of
honest government, of sound finance,
of freedom and purity of the ballot,
but especially have deserted the cause
of reform in the civil service. We
will not fail to keep our pledges be-
cause they have broken theirs, or be-
cause their candidate has broken his.
We therefore repeat our declaration
of 1884, to-wit: The reform of the
civil service, auspiciously begun I'M
der the Republican administration,
should be completed by the further
extension of the reform system ST.
ready established by law. to all the
grades of the service to which it is
applicable. The spirit and purpose
of the reform should be observed in
all Executive appointments, and all
laws at variance with the object of
existing reform legislation should be
repealed, to the end that the dangers
to free institutions which Turk in the
power of official patronage may be
wisely and effectively avoided.
PENSIONS TO UNION SOLDIERS.
The gratitude of the Nation to the
defenders of the Union cannot be
measured by law. The legislation of
Congress should conform to the
pledges made by loyal people and
be so enlarged and extended as to
provide against the possibility that
any man who honorably wore the
Federal uniform shall become an in
mate of an aims house or dependent
upon private charity. In the pres
ence of an overlooking treasury it
would be a public scandal to do less
for those whose valOrous service pre-
served the government. We de-
nounce the hostile spirit shown by
President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief
and the action of the Democratic
House of Representatives in refusing
consideration of general pension
legislation.
In support of the principles here
with enumerated, we invite the CO.
operation Of patriotic men of all par
ties and especially of all working
men whose prosperity is seriously
threatened by the free trade policy of
the present administration.

meeting Prof and Mrs. Pomeroy, OF San
Jose, Cal, who arrived on the Australia.
The Professor is the organist OF st.
Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in that

that arrangements may be made whereby

lighted with Honolulu SO far. The Pro-

The Pacific Islands,

Inc prospects of the Pacific Islands
Trading Company will no doubt be inn
proved by the disposition shown by the
British Government to make further an
nexations in the Pacific. The islands
proposed to be taken under British pro-
lection are Christmas Island, Fanning's
and Penrhyn Island. These lie between
the Sandwich and Society Islands, and
II not IN the most direct track of any
mail lines running to Australia, yet are
not far removed from it, and will consti-
tute important naval positions should
British interests in the near future re-
quire the extension of our means of de-
fence in that direction. The first-named
Is one of the islands connected with the
Pacific Islands Company. In the pros
peCtus it is stated that formal possession
OF Christmas Island was taken in Mr..
Henderson's name on April II, 1882, by
the master Of the British ship Ryno, one
OF Mr.. Henderson's vessels, who, finding
the island unoccupied, hoisted the Brit
ish flag, and on May 18th following a
declaration by the master, stating the
circumstances under which he had taken
possession thereof, was recorded at the
British Consulate at Samoa. The island
has remained in Mr. Henderson's undis-
turbed possession since that date" 1t
is not generally considered that the
company has any brilliant prospects be-
before it at the present time. 1t is
thought that a scheme for exploiting the
commercial prospects of the Pacific on a
wider basis would have a better chance
of commanding success on this side The
idea has often been suggested that the
shrewdest, sharpest, and probably the
most satisfactory way of settling most of
the difficulties connected with the New
Hebrides would be for the Australian
Governments or some powerful company
to purchase the rights-whatever they
may be worth-of Mr.. Higginsons Land
Company in the New Hebrides-[New

Shooting Bear with a Knife.

EDITOR ARGUs.--On November
18th, 1888, Johnnie Mcneil, boy OF
IA years, and VIM. Delany, were
hunting partridge near Lake of the
Woods, in Presque Isle township
The dogs began barking and the lit
tie fellow thought they had freed a
bird and going to see, beheld to his
surprise large bear, under an old
root partly covered with brush. The
little fellow took deliberate aim at
him, hitting him on the foreleg which
enraged the brute, as the gun was
loaded with No. A shot. The bear
made for the boy, but the dogs kept
him at bay. The boy called for help,
which was near at hand. When the
bear saw his new enemy, who came
yelling and sicking the dogs on him,
he beat a hasty retreat to a large
swamp, where the dogs freed him up
a large tamarack. After the two
had shot at him some half dozen
times and having no effect on him,
Mr.. Delany thought of his knife. If
he could only use that. Immediate.
ly the thought struck him to open it
and load the gun with it. So putting
1t In with the blade toward the mug
zle, and taking aim, the bear came
tumbling down at the foot of the tree,
dead. On examination the knife had
gone clean through the bear and
where it landed no one knows. We
have their word for it, and being a
man Of truth, we do not doubt their
word. The hide measured 7 feet 2
inches in length, and is on exhibition
at Capt. Brilly's camp. at Lake Esaw.
Old hunters say 1t Is the finest hide
they ever saw.
