NOTES AND COMMENTS.


Portland OrsgoRiaA: The record OF the Re.
publican party is its rock OF ages; the record OF
the Democratic party is its everlasting shame.
Chicago Journal: The fight in 1870 was for the
protective tariff and safe financial system.
Harrison was the candidate II is the same in
1888.
indianapolis Ne1rs. General Harrison person
ally is unassailable, and the sooner the Demo
Gratis cease 70 break their teeth on that file the
better for them.
Lansing Mich Republican: How many pa
I triotie Irishmen will march under or use an
English made, imported red bandana, adopted
as the banner and badge OF The Democrats
partys
New York SIN Dem): John Sherman fought
good fight His was an honest manly. open,
straightforward. courageous, honorable canvass
from beginning TO end We record this opinion
and these adiectives with sincere pleasure.
Chicago journal: There is one ground for
suspicion that Governor Hill, of New York. in
tends TO be candidate for reelection. He We
toed the Suffrage bill, which would have pre-
vented Democratic frauds on the ballot-box.
Minneapolis Tri5Hae. Melville w. Fuller
Cleveland's appointee 10 the United States Su-
preme Justiceship, refuses 10 notice the
charges made against him. Attorney-Cieneral
Garland pursued the same course, but the
Pan-Electric wires tripped him up, neFerthe-
less.
Chicago Inter ocean; Mr.. Blaine, in Twenty
/ Years OF Congress" makes this terse record OF
General Harrison's military career: Benia-
min Harrison, of indianapolis, commanded a
brigade before he was thirty, and made a milf
tary record which did honor TO the illustrious
name which he inherits."
St. Louis Globe Democrat: General Harrison
was a faithful soldier. and never refused to
obey orders but once in all his military career
That was when he was directed 10 surrender a
fugitive slave who was in his camp in Ken
lucky, and he wrote across the message: Il
decline TO obey this order"
St. Paul Pioneer Press: Those Democratic
organs. now the most vociferous in their denun-
ciation OF Levi p. Morton's barrel. sang to-
gether in minor key when the contents OF
Samuel J. Tilden's barrel were deluging the
country from New York TO Oregon. Democratic
opposition is never heard against a barrel with
the Dung open and spouts leading from it into
Democratic pockets.
Philadelthi Press: Mayor Hewitt, Of New
/ York, pronCunces General Harrison "a good
man, good-lCalsing man, perfec. gentleman,
and one to whom 70 fair-minded man can take
exception That is = frst-class recommends
tion from a frst-class man. We have not
heard OF Mayor Hewitt making a similar utter
ance in favor of Mr.. Cleveland-probably for
the reason that the mayor can not tell lie
Omaha Republican; The campaign in Ne
braska will be remarkable for its vigor and
earnestness and for the unanimity of the
party. There will be no mugwumping this
year and there will be thousands of votes cast
for Harrison which would not have gone to
Blaine. The Democrats have made several
mistakes, either of which would turn the tide
against them; combined they will ingulf Bour-
bonism and sweep it out of existence.
New York independent Gnd.): The Republic
an party is again on solid ground. 1t has turned
10 its old traditions. II has given US ticket
which Christian men and men of conviction
can ne artily support. Those who left the party
in 1851 can now return, and vote for men as
well as principles. There is no excuse for con
tinued alienation. Let US close up our ranks
and have an old-fashiuned Republican victory
in November
Toledo Blade: The platform upon which The
Republicans will do battle from now until the
great victory in November contains one plank
that will disgust the Democrats, and will be used
by them to wage their war against the election
OF the nominee at Chicago. That plank is the
one in favor Of the State or Nation or both
combined, supporting free institutions OF learn
ing. That's just what the Democracy does not
want. Intelligence and Democracy don't pull
well together. The solid South would not be
SO solid with its ratio Of illiteracy reduced.
San Francisco Chronicle: The Democrats at
ST. Louis had the efrontery TO allude TO the
fact that during the past two or three years
few vessels have been added to our navy. They
must have forgotten that for the past ten or
twelve years they have held the purse-strings
OF the Nation, and i the navy was 10 become
byword and repr94ch during that time they
were responsible for it. When the occasion
demanded and the Republicans controlled az
fairs the United States navy was not the
laughing stock Of the world, fact that some OF
the ex-Contederates ought to be able to testify
