couldn't carry hill" "Of course not"
said Joe; " there's too big democratic
majority there. 1t was Connecticut l
was talking about, which is different
place."
GENERAL HARRISON was faithful
soldier and never refused to obey or
ders but once in all his military career.
That was when he was directed to sur
render a fugitive slave who was in his
camp in Kentucky, and he wrote across
the message: Il decline TO obey this
order.o
GENERAL HARRIsoN's law partner,
Hon. John B.. Elan, said in New York
the other day that Indiana is thor
oughly organized, the republicans are
active and aggressive, the soldiers are
mostly for Harrison and protection and
the republicans fully expect to carry
the state by from 10000 to $4,000 ma
jority.
THE Rochester Democrat and ChrOn-
Scle of last week Tuesday reports very
significant event in the progress of the
campaign. A large number of demo-
cratic veterans had met the night be-
fore and organized Harrison and
Morton club. One hundred twenty
seven signed the roll and all but eleven
of them were democrats.
A CANVASS of party of Raymond
excursionists from New England to
California made by DR.. J. H. Averill of
Brockton, Mass, to ascertain presi-
dental preferences, gave this result:
Harrison, 1854; Cleveland, 81; Fisk, s.
The fact that the party was composed
of educators and educated and inteli-
gent people adds significance to the
figures.
WARNER MILLER says the New
York republicans are thoroughly re-
united and not republican of promi-
hence opposes the ticket. General
Hustled says the situation L" is simply
splendid. I've been all over the
northern part of the state and l never
saw ticket grow as this ticket has.
1t appeals to the working-man, the
mechanic, the farmer and to every
man who has got any sense"
A DISTINGUISHED republican of
Whitehall, n. Y, writes the Troy
Budqet as follows: "The ticket will be
very strong one in the Champlain
valley, Mr.. Morton being born at
Shoreham, VT, about five miles from
Lake Champlain, opposite Ticonderoga
n. Y. His father was Presbyterian
minister in this place and the family
style had to be kept up on 5000 per
year. 1t is hard work now to be a
Christian in Vermont on 81 900 year.
Your esteemed fellow-townsman, the
Hon. Levi Smith, knows all about it,
for about this time he used to chop
wood at thirty cents cord in the town
of Orwell, about two miles from where
Mr.. Morton was born, and everybody
called him a good fellow even then
He will we'll remember what free-trade
means"
BILL ARP continues to say good
things in the Atlanta Constitution
His latest is: " / don't see any good
in the South abusing Harrison nohow
The South is solid for Cleveland and
the battle-ground is up North, and the
more we abuse him the more it will
strengthen him up there. This chronic
abuse, this stereotyped SANDER thai
comes along every four years is E
shame. We went to war because Lin,
coin was elected, and now we say he
was the best friend the South had above
the line. We denounced Grant as {
brute and drunkard, and yet the
great political leaders of the Soutl
praised him alive and mourned hin
when dead and threw flowers upon hi
grave. Lamar delivered eulogy OF
Sumner and General Gordon becam,
Grants personal friend. They fell on
and fell in worse than children at play
