THE CAMPAIGN OLE 1910.

! The CAMPAlGN OF lS4U.
"a Harrison campaign in 1885," says
the New Y York Tribune, naturally recalls
the victorious campaign of 1870 There
are several pointers in the comparison.
The Democratic candidate for the Pres
idency in 'Tippecanoe's' time was from
New York. President Van Buren, had
been nominated for a second term pre-
cisely as President Cleveland has been.
His overwhelming defeat by his Western
rival is an augury for the success of an
other Harrison campaign.
"PreSident Van Buren'S administra-
tiOn had acquired unpOpularity in the
North in consequence of its timorous
dealings with the British government in
relation to the destruction of the steamer
Caroline on the American side of the
Niagara river, and other complications
on the Canadian frontier. President
Cleveland appeals for reelection in like
manner after neglecting to resent wantOn
outrages on American rights and viola
tions of international laws on the part
of Canada.
"The Tippecanoe campaign, moreover,
was national uprising on behalf of pro-
lection. President Van Buren's admin
istration was identified with the low
tariff policy. 1t was a battle between
free trade and protection, and the Wings
under Harrison triumphed all along the
line. The historic name of Harrison is
one associated with victory in the strug-
gle of American industrial independence.
1t is a good name for the leader in the
protection compaign of 1886, especially
against free-trade President from New
York seeking reelection"
A INDUSTRIOUS MICHIGAN SNAKE
Alpena (Mich) Letter
The residents for long distance along
Thunder Bay are terrified over the ap-
pearance of a monster lake serpent. Not
long ago farmer named ISaacson found
trail about foot wide through plow-
ed field. Its serpentine course indicated
that it might have been made by mon
Strous snake. 1t led down to the bay
where there were indications that the
snake had eaten the day before. Mr..
IsaacSon's boy, Grant n, was planting
potatoes in field near the house and was
frightened to see huge snake moving
toward him.
The boy had with him double barrel
ed shotgun, having taken the precaution
to carry the gun with him when he went
in the fields, since the snake track was
discovered. The boy fired twice at the
monster. He says it went over stones
and sticks as lively as horse and glided
to the bay. The boys father then came
along, having been attracted by the gun
reports, and the two followed the snakes
track to the water.
The boy describes the snake as about
twenty-five feet long and more than a
foot thick. The body is black, with vel
low spots and a yellow tail. The head was
covered with long black hair. Where the
snake went under fence was found hair
about eight inches long.
TWO MORE DEMOCRATS FLOP.
Bellaire Independent, July 5.
Col. w. C. Watson, of East Liverpool,
once State Tobacco Inspector and sta
toned at the warehouse in this city, and
member of Gov. George W. HOadly's
staff, is outspoken in his opposition to
the reelection of Cleveland on the tariff
reduction platform. He passed through
the city on the evening of the third on
his way to GAINESVILLE.
We understand Councilman John Gal
ia
vention yesterday with the announce
ment that he had cast his last Democratic
vote If Mr. Gallagher would stick to
this he would not be alone in this county
this fall In fact, if the Ohio Valley is
any indication of how the Nation will go
in November, it will be greater victory
than the most sanguine Republican
looks for.
CHEAP WHISKY Y-DEAR CLOTHES.
Chicago mter-Ocean.
The Republican campaign cry is cheap
er whisky and dearer clothes.-FoSt.
Oh, give us season of reposel Why,
when the Democratic party went out of
power whisky was 80 cents gallon, or
3 to cents a drink, and muslin prints
35 cents per yard. After nearly twenty
five years of Republican rule the cheapest
whisky is retailed at 81 per quart, or 10
to be per drink, and muslin prints sell
at sc. yard. Talk about cheap whisky
and dear clothing, indeed!
