What They Say About 1t.


Proctor's promise to the convention
and give the ticket the unprecedented
majority of 10000 in Vermont. This
we can do and ought to do. Every
body is delighted with the ticket-the
Blaine men, the Depew men, the
Gresham men, the Sherman men,
even the mugwumps. The Irish
Americans, who have generally been
democrats hitherto, though most of
them hoped for Blaine, are pleased
with the ticket.-Rutland Herald.
The result is glorious one. 1t is
redolent with victory. Honor, vir-
tue, craftsmanship are the jewels our
leader brings to our party. Harmo-
ny and spirit mark his followers. All
danger of breach in the party is
now over. The party is again unit.
It knows no stalwarts or half-breeds.
There are no disgruntled, unhappy
men in it. The nomination was ac-
complished by no subterfuge or trick
cry. The race was free for all, and
the nomination fell by the untram-
meled choice of the convention. There
is not a defeated candidate for the
nomination who will not be found on
the stump this fall.-AlbGny Journal.
Yet there is no reason why any
party man of the republicans who is
satisfied with the platform should not
vote for Mr.. Harrison. He is pure
man he is more than sound on the
party tenets; he has ability beyond
men who have been republican NOM
inees for the presidency. Mr.. Har-
rison will be a strictly partisan can
didate. Boston Herald.
And it is an uneXceptiOnablet tick
ct, look at it whichever way you may.
Both grand specimens of American
citizenship. One good soldier from
a family of fighters, an accomplished
lawyer and experienced statesman.
The other great business man. A
wealthy man and yet man of the
people. A man of the most charm
ing manners. A natural born gentle
man, who treats the most humble cit
izen with the same respect as the most
exalted. Both are men of unques-
toned integrity and morals. Both
have filled with honor to their party
and themselves high positions of
trust. Both are loyal, patriotic re-
publicans, thoroughly in accord with
the principles as set forth in the plat
form. Both come from doubtful
states. 1t is doubtful if better tick
ct could have been nominated. 1t is
strong at both ends. Strong in pat
riotism, strong in craftsmanship,
strong in legal and business attain
ments, and long before election it
will be so strong in the hearts of all
true Americans that it will be elected
by an overwhelming majority next

Mr.. Harrison's nomination is one
that all warning republican factions
in New York can support without |
heartburning. There are two rea-
sons why his candidacy is fortunate.
1t leaves the issue of extreme protec-
ton against tariff revision clear-cut |
and distinct, and it removes all dam
gers of personalities in the campaign.
Mr.. Harrison has been all his life a |
high protectionist, and there is no
room for personal attacks on his
character. He has associated with |
him on the ticket Mr.. Levi P. Nor
ton, an eminent New York financier,
who is personally unobjectionable
and who has long been recognized as
faithful follower of the protection
banner. The fight is one of princi- |
pie, not of persons, and the Worlds
opposition to Mr.. Harrison is because |
he represents principle which we
believe to be antagonistic to the pros
perity of the country. N. Y. World,
Democratic and Free Trade.
The completed republican ticket is
now submitted to the American peo-
pie, and it is not too much to say |
that the welcome given to it is I'M
bounded. Unanimously adopted in
convention, as the news flashed over |
the country it was as unanimously |
ratified by the hearts of the millions
of republican voters. Not only are
these nominations strong in the point
of local influence and from the fact |
Of representing the pre-eminently |
American doctrine of protection, but |
those honorable names afford the best |
examples of the rise to prominence
and position by the honest struggles |
of early life.-Boston Traveller.
There is nothing in Senator Harris
sons record, land there has been moth
ing in the manner of his candidacy |
to awaken antagonisms within the
party or to ALLEVIATE any body of re-
publicans. Disappointment there
may be among the friends of some Of
the other candidates, but there is no
room for rancor or resentment, nor
will there be any. The choice of the
convention has been reached after
long elaboration, and will be instant
ly and heartily acquiesced in. The
party accepts Gen. Harrison's lead
ership, and will be instantly and
heartily acquiesced in. The party
accepts Gen. Harrison's leadership,
and will give him it's united and loyal
