Numbers of prominent Demo
Gratis in New York, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and other States, are
proclaiming tor Harrison. They
can't stand Cleveland's Free-Trade
doctrines.
Richard Nevins, jr., ex-resident
government architect ofthe United
States courthouse and pOstoilice
now beng built at PIttsburg, has
been arrested upon a charge OF max
ing fraudulent claims against the
government.
There are no longer any mug
wumps. The papers which bolted
the Republican ticket in 1854 be-
cause they disliked Blaine, now re-
fuse to support Harrison because
they are free traders. They are
Democrats pure and simple.
The London Times some years
ago remarked "The only time that
England can use an lrishman is
when he emigrates to America and
votes for free trade, which he in
variably dOes.7 The Irishmen are
not serving England that way this
year.
a New York paper says that
Levi p. Morton never was Chart
able for the sake OF votes, but II
all the suffering untOtunates who
have prOfted by his bene6cence to
New York charities were assem-

mated him for Vice President.
The star-eyed goddess of Free
Trade will have to keep a sharp
watch on Kentucky this year if sh e
wants to prevent that state from
being turned over to the Republl-
can column. There are enough Har-
rison and Morton PrOtectiouists
down there to scare the Free-trade
crowd out of its boots if they once

In 1884 the New York IRdepead'
eat was "a strong supporter of Cleve-
land. Now it says
His pledges were magnificent

His scheme of civil service was

He set out to liit the Democratic

Gus failure.
Mr.. Patrick Ford, editor of the
Irish World, speaking of Gen. Har.
risOn, our next President, says that
che will be an attractive candidate.
He is a man of whom every one re-
spects. He is sound on the tariff,
and will draw many IIish-Amerl
cans to his standard. think Gen
Harrison can count on an Irish
American vote mum bering many
thousands. Before he has been 10
the field a month he will find that
he is very popular with the foreign
born population. The talk about
his having voted in favor of Chi

twaddle. He is an American and

One OF the strongest cartoons
that has appeared for many a day
is that upon the last page of the
current number of The Judge.-
Every workingman should see anC
study its meaning. Upon the left
reclining ~ a large arm chair upoT
pillow, Is the gaunt form of a maj

BY his side stands burly IOhn Bnl
with towel at his eyes moppinl
away the tears. At the left stand
the stalwart American working
man, full of vigOr, doctor upOl
each side of him, with Cleveland a
hrs back, the latter urging trans

of the dying man. Below runs tn
legend: The dOctOrs-"It m

is a failure, you are a dead man /;

man replies: "Then, gentlemen

The Cleyeland Leader draws
parallel between political condI
tions in 1910 and 1888 as follows:
Two Democratic Presi dents
Martin Van Buren, and Grove
Cleveland, have been elected frOn
the state of New York. Both q
them we're candidates for a secOnl

feated in 1910 by William Henr
Harrison, the idol of the West an,
a brave soldier. Grover Clevelan'
will be defeated in November b,
Benjamin Harrison, the grandson
of the man who conquered Va

soldier with a gallant record, an
