A Weak Candidate.

Indianapolis 81 ntinel (Deml June e.
General Harrison's nomination is not
in any sense a strong one He is lacking
in most Of the qualities which combine
TO make a great party leader and popular
candidate before the people. He has not
been specially distinguished either in
military or civil life. His service in the
Union army was brief and inconspicuous.
He was one of a multitude of brigadier-
generals who left the field while the con-
dict was at its tiercest to engage in poll
tics His career since the war has made
little impression upon the country. His
single term in she United States Senate
revealed him only as an intense and bitter
partisan. and a faithful friend of the
corporations. TO which latter fact he is
indebted for the distinction conferred up-
on him at Chicago. He never took a
leading position in the Senate, and but
for the accident of his residence in a
close and uncertain State he would GER
tainly have relapsed into obscurity upon
his retirement from that body. Here in
Indiana. where General Harrison is best
known. his unpopularity is proverbial.
Indians is not Republican State and
General Harrison is not as strong as the
Republican party in Indiana.
