interesting Rivalry Between Young Jhn
Blaine and LoGnu Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, August G.-An interest
ing rivalry will soon be in progress in
New York between sons OF two Of the
most prominent men in the country,
Some time ago James G. Blaine, Jr,
was appointed to clerkship at the Re-
publican National Headquarters in New
York, his duties embracing the compila.
ticn and distribution OF protective tariff
literature. Young Blaine has made a
study Of the tariff question under his
illustrious father. Tomorrow Logan
Carlisle, son OF Speaker Carlisle, will be
placed in charge Of the tariff reform liter
ary bureau at the National Democratic
Headquarters. Young Carlisle is said
to be almost rs well informed on the
tariff as his father.
These two young men, sons OF the
most conspicuous exponents Of the great
theories OF Protection and tariff reform,
will thus be pitted against each other
throughout the campaign.

GENERAL HARRISON
Receives Club from Kansas CIty--A
Pleasant Incident.

Pleasant InCldOut.
INDGANAroLIs, August G.-General
Harrison passed comparatively quiet
day, being engaged most OF the time
with his secretaries. He keeps well up
with voluminous correspondence, and
manages during the intervals to receive
perhaps fifty or more calls perday, aside
from the delegations.
The Kansas City Blaine Club, COM
prising hundred or more men, paid the
General an imprOmptu call this morning
while en- route to New York to partici-
pate in the reception Of Mr.. Blaine.
Col. K. II. Hunt acted as spokesman
in n brief congratulatory address, to
which Gen. Harrison replied i'll sub

the compliment OF their call, and spoke
OF the enthusiasm evidenced by their
journey to New York to meet upon his
return to America "that matChless de-
fender OF Republican principles, james

Perhaps the most pleasing incident OF
the visit occurred when Col. Hunt in
troduced Miss Abbie Burgess, one of the
several ladies accompanying the club,
who, in IL very graceful speech, with
great self-possession, presented Gen.
Harrison with beautiful satin badge,
inscribed:
"The Kansas City Blaine Club, greet
their next President, August 1855"
Miss Burgess said she presented the
souvenir as representative OF the
working women OF America, whom she
declared We're grateful for the industrial
protection that enables them to earn
better wages than can be obtained by
their more unfortunate sisters in Europe.
As the lady concluded she stepped
forward and pinned the badge on the
Generals breast amid rounds of ap-
plause.
General Harrison was visibly affected
by the incident and paternally addressed

NEw YoRK, August G.-The Herald
comments editorially as follows on the
death of Gen. Sheridan:
"Thc death OF this illustrious man is
the going out OF great light. Some
thing seems taken from our glory; as il a
star had fallen from the constellation.
For more than twenty years this sovcr-
eign captain has been the embodiment
of the enthusiasm OF war. Grant was
the glacier crushing mountains and en-
governing seas, slowly moving to his aim.
Sherman, the thunderbolt; Thomas, the
storm contemning Crag; but Sheridan
seemed the inspiration OF the war, in
movement, life, genius, the incarnation
OF its combat and its glory, and around
whose name clustered its imagination,
its poetry, and its romance.

Men whom the cold, sure Judgment OF
Grant ranked with Napoleon and Fred

when he died. In this his career re-
sembles Napoleon, whose eimpatientsplrit
wore out the body IN hlty-twO years.
But while military service gave Sherl-
dan his honors and rank, since the war
he had been steadily growing in civil
knowledge and usefulness. tOr twenty
three years at the head OF the military
establishment, which i'll peace Is really

opportunities for understanding tue

wants OF the various sections. 1t was
felt by those who looked well into his
career, who studied his public state
mentsin reportsand occasional addresses,
that the brilliant soldier had grown into
an experienced statesman. 1t was TINS
conviction that gave strength to the re-
cent movement in favor OF his nomina'

Iact that in this country there was not

on behalf oi the Military Committee,

dan, he said, entered the volunteer SER
vice OF the United States MS Colonel OF

own. So nr MS his military record in
the volunteer service WAS concerned,
the black stCCd so famed in poetry and
song upon which Sheridan rode into the
fray from Winchester, twenty miles
away WAS the gilt OF the citizens OF
Michigan. There would be many sore
and sad hearts in the Peninsular State
to-iay-hcarts OF brave men, loyal men,
true men, who followed Sheridan into
the tray, not only at Winchester, but on
many another field.
The resolutions were also seconded in
behalf oi the people OF Ohio, by Mr..

soldier was large and grand enough to
be shared in common by the loyal peo-
pie oi the whole United States. It had
often been said OF Sheridan that he was
