Harrison and Gresham in Indiana.

DR.. W. A. Horrall. Of Washington, Ind.
l have made q note of the wishes of sixty
eight Democratic papers and politicians. and
every one Of them, with one exception. expressed
themselves warmly to the effect that they hoped
the Republicans would nominate Judge Gresham
in preference to General Harrison. Now, what
does this all mean, coming al it does from lead
ing Democrats all over the eountryf Is it be-
cause they regard Judge Gresham . stronger
man before the people than General Harrison,
and that he will give them q harder fight for the
presidencyl No man with common sense be-
lieves any such thing. But it is because they
1.-THE DemocrAts) regard Judge Gresham as
vulnerable and the weaker man of the
two, and this 10 why they are so solicitous that
he should receive the Republican nomination
for President. There are but two things that
are necessary to guide the Republicans in the
Chicago conventions: The first il to find out first
what the Democrats want the convention to do,
and not do it; and the second is to find out what
they don't want tho convention to do, and do
just that very thing; and the effect will be to
solidify and strengthen the Republican party
and weaken and demoralize the Democratic
party. This done and victory will be assured,
and l know of NO man as well equipped to lead
the Republican hosts to certain victory as Gen.
eral Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana. / would
not speak one word disparaeinely of Judge
Gresham, because he is o pure man, a good
citizen, true soldier and a fine Judge,
and would doubtless make, o safe and
conscientious President, and If he should be
nominated for President no man Of my physical
ability would work harder, yell louder or jump
higher TO secure his election than my humble
self. This / would do for any of the dozens Of
good Republicans that have been spoken Of as
probable candidates. But while all these good
things are true of Judge Gresham, / regard Gen.
eral Harrison his equal in all, and far his supe-
rior in many other important things that are
necessary to make an available candidate for the
presidency, and when l say this / know / speak

Antagonism of Other Candidates.

Granu hapluBt MICH y Edgle.
The fatuous and altogether indefensible policy
which is being pursued by the friends and or
gans Of certain enthusiastically those of
Gresham-in attempting to disparage the claims
Of ether candidates, is sure to react against
those who resort to such tactics. . Is natural,
the larger part Of the slurs and inuendoes of
til csc jealous boomers are directed against Mr..
Blaine, whose name is every where recognized
p~re-eminent among those mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency. All such attacks.
however, are far from shaking the ad-
herence TO Blaine; on the other
hand, they strengthen and CONSOLE
date II, and proportionately lessen the
chances of any candidate in whose behalf they
are made. The fool friends" Of Mr.. Gresham
-prorninent among whom may be- mentioned
the editors Of the Chicago Tribune and of two
or three other journals in that city-if they
have sense or discretion. will lose no time in
calling of their dogs. They are likely to 60
too far-if, indeed, they have not already
done so. Whether Mr.. Blaine be a can
didate or not, there will be an over
whelmiug sentiment in his favor in the
Chicago convention when 1t meets. And the
temper Of the convention will be such as to
brook no insults to the Maine statesman, and to
resent In no uncertain manner any attempts in
that direction.
Saginaw Mich, Eagle.
The weakest point In the Gresham movement
IL the foolish sntagonism OF some of his over
jealous friends to Mr.. Blaine. The friends of
Senators Sherman and Allison and General
Harrison are much wiser, because they recog-
nize that the Blaine movement is the outcome
OF the love and admiration OF the Republican
voters for the great leader.

How q Woman Solved a yexatIous Pro-

Nrs. Benedict's business is that Of q
ratcatcher, a new profession now fairly
opened TO women, and one which Mrs.
Benedict at least has made lucrative.
The business OF rat determination is not
strictly new, and yet Mrs. Benedict is
fairly entitled 10 rank as Its inventor, at
east in an important sense. She has
raised it to the dignity of a profession.
The problem has been how 10 kill the rats
without bringing unpleasant odors into
the house.
Mr.. Benedict has found out how to
induce rats to die on the kitchen floor.
Like many inventors, she is somewhat i'm.
debted TO accident. She was engaged, il
appears, in the domestic manufacture OF
plaster casts Of various kinds. One Of her
devices was to mix wheaton -four with her
pulverized plaster OF Paris, so that the
gluten OF the flour might make the paste
less brittle. One evening she had visitors

Through their shoutincs loud.
