There is occasion for reflection in the kind
interest that is shown in General Harrison by
the throngs Of his fellow-citizens who daily.
visit him Ever since his nomination his
home has been the destination of ore .lelega-
ton after another of admirers who call to paw
their respects and wish him success. IL
is estimated that he has shaken hands
with more than fifty thousand people since
he was nominated four weeks ago, and
yet he is to-day as he was a month ago.
simply plain private citizen. The mere Gu.
riosity seeker visits the White House 80 he
can say he has seen the President. But tho
thousands who are visiting Gen. Harrison
are friends not curiosity seekers, for so far as
official rank is concerned. he is on the same
plane with his visitors. But this great out
pouring of neighbors and friends Is a testi-
mony to General Harrison that he Possesses
in IN unlimited degree the respect and conf
dence of his fe!lowmon, and as a candidate
for the highest Office in the land they want
he should know it. That is a good deal to
say of a man. 1t can only be said of q gentle,
man. 1t can only be said of q man whose
private life is pure and spotless. 1t con only
be said of a man whose public life is free from
dishonor or reproach. 1t can only be said of
man whose daily walk and conversation
are so clean and wholesome that those who
know him best can say ''there ia good true
man. So far we have not heard of any
throngs of people flocking to Washington to
congratulate MIR. Cleveland on his renomina-
ton and wish him SUCCESS
