A correspondent of the San Francisco
Examiner asks to be enlightened about
General Harrison's remarks derogatory
to the Irish. That paper says that the
incident occurred at Bloomington, ILL.,, a
few days before the Presidential election
of 1876. Mr.. Harrison's language, as
sworn to by reputable citizens of Bloom
ington, was as follows:
SIT is easy to know that mans race
you all know what they are; if it were
not for them wo would not need half our
penitentiaries, which are almost full OF
them; they are only good to shovel dirt
and grade railroads, for which they re-
ceive more than they are worth, as they
are no acquisition to the American peo-
ple."
The friends OF General Harrison vehe-
mently denied that he used this Ian
guage, but We have before us a copy of
the Indianapolis Sentinel, which says
that the charge does not seem improba-
BILE in view of the fact that "twelve years
ago abuse of the Irish was part OF the
Republican stock in trade" The Sentinel
then quotes the following excerpts from
the Indianapolis Journal, Harrison's per-
sonal organ, belonging now and then to
John G. New, the man who groomed and
brought him out for the Presidential
race. We give few Of these extracts
