Harrison said: II feel that in this
campaign upon which I am entering,
and which will undoubtedly cause
careful scrutiny, perhaps unkind and
even malicious assaults on all that
relates to my not conspicuous but
loyal service with you in the army,

modestly aud properly said. Another

none whose coming will touch my
heart so deeply as this visit from my
comrades of the Seventeen Indiana
and those scattered members of other
regiments that constituted the First
brigade Of the Third division Of the
Twentieth army corps"
The man who can talk like that has
good stuff in him. But they were
men of good stuff who went to the
front in those days-men of better
stuff than Grover Cleveland.
The great war and the politics out
OF which the great war grew was a
moral contest between absolute right
and absolute wrong, and Cleveland
was on the side OF absolute wrong.
Born and reared in the atmosphere Of
freedom, surrounded by every in.

move the blood of young and gener.
Gus manhood, he cast his lot in with
those who proposed to extend that
negation Of the principles of humanity
and civilization, the curse of slavery,
and to make it national and eternal;
he acted with those who strove to ex-
tend its area and to stamp out protest
against such extension; he had neither
hand nor voice to raise against its
effort to destroy the government and
the Union for its own security and
support, but acted and voted through.
out the struggle in opposition to the
dictates of patriotism, public morality,
liberty, humanity and civilization
itself.
This was Grover Cleveland, and
therefore Grover Cleveland can make
no speeches like that made by Benin
min Harrison to the surviving mem
bers of the Seventieth Indiana.

THE news from Washington just now
is agricultural instead of political. 1t is
rather CALLING to come down from en-
thusiastic and patriotic topics to a dis
cussion of corn and potatoes, but to a
public surfeited by politics it may not
be interesting to know that the returns
of yield of corn made to the department
OF agriculture indicate Weld per acre
quite as large as that of 1885, and larger
than any other crop since 1880. The
aggregate grown on a larger area will
exceed that o! any previous American
product, being very close to 1900, 900
bushels, or about thirty-two bushels per
capita, which has been exceeded in sew
eral previous years. The corn surplus
states average yield as follows: OHIO
35.2 bushels, Missouri 81, Indiana 35,
Illinois 1862, Iowa 81, Kansas 81, Ne
braska SO. These seven states produce
"a per cent. of the crop aggregate. The
general average will fall somewhat under
twenty seven bushels. There is good
supply of maize in nearly all parts of the
South, go that comparatively little will
be reduced from the West. The yields
of the Atlantic states are moderate, seri-
ously reduced by frost on the Northern
border. After three years of low yields
potatoes give an average of about eighty
bushels per acre, or nearly the rate of
yield of 1879. The averages of promi-
neDt potato-growing states are as fol-
lows: Maine ITO bushels, New York so,
Pennsylvania so, Ohio so, Michigan 70,
Indiana IS, Illinois so. Iowa 80, Mime
sofa 50, Dakota so, Nebraska 80. The
yield has been increased in the South.
1t is high in the northern belt terri
tories. The total product on the basis of
these averages is about 1876, OOO, 900 BUSH
els, or 6l,OO0,OOO more than the esti-
mated prodoct of 1887.

THAT "rERRIBLE" CIRCULAR.

We wish to assert that the circular
which has raised such howl from the
Register, Review and other highly virtu.
Gus (?) organs was perfectly legitimate
political document, and one which the
editors of those sheets would not have
hesitated to use had similar opportu-
nifty come in their way. 1t would be in
better grace for these self.praised para
CONS of political morality 10 clean their
own skirts before putting themselves up
as public examples of purity.
The circular in question simply said
that the Lake Crystal Mirror unwittingly
gave away what had already been
freely charged-that Messrs. Just and
Stephens were to be sacrificed in order
to gain votes for Wise and Larson. The
Mirror said "Wise and Larson are as
good as elected Could that mean any
thing but that Just and Stephens were
not to be given tie benefit ofgood Demo.
cratic effort, but all was to be concen-
trated on the two namedp But the re-
turns themselves best prove how true
the charge OF the circular was. Mr.. just
received $50 less than the straight Dem
ocratic vote for Cleveland, whereas Wise
ran ahead. The same with Stephens. 1t
is utterly ridiculous for Wise 20 kick
about this expose of his methods, but
the fact that he does kick shows that il
pinched very hard. If he will stop to
canvass the official returns he will find
that in fully so per cent. of the towns
outside the city, himself and Mr.. Lar
son ran ahead, while Messrs. Just and
Stephens suffered the loss. In the city
these two gentlemen ran behind Their
ticket in euery gOting precinct. Oh, no
there was no trading!
Now so far as the statement made and
reiterated, that the circular was thrown
broadcast over the county," is con
cerned, it is untrue. Not over 100 copies
were printed or circulated, and no par
ticular secrecy was maintained over 1t
either. There was nothing Illegitimate
about il whatever, and the venom of the
malicious RecieW can't make those who
know the facts think differently. o
course 1t serves as an excuse for abuse
of Hunt. Well, let loose your wrath
Hunt is feeling pretty well, thank you

Ex-SENAToR WARNER MILLER is the
best-natured defeated candidate in the
country. He is not bit cast down, nor
does he think that the issue on which he
failed to be elected Governor of New
York is dead. He says that high license
has not gone out of politics in New York
but just come in, and it will never be
settled until it is settled right. This was
only the first skirmish, and the war will
go on. Never did man utter truer words
than General Harrison when he tele-
graphed TO Mr.. Miller: "If the intrepid
leader fell outside the breastworks, the
column, inspired by his courage, went
on to victory" 1t will be true in the
double sense of meaning-the tariff VIC
tory this year and the high license VIC
tory later by the men who have been in
spired by Mr.. Miller to go into the fight.
New York has been lodging the ques-
ton for years-Mr Miller made lodging
ont of the question. It's fight from
now on to the end.

The best opinion is that the Republic
cans of the senate will not deem it ex-
pedient to press the senate tariff bill to
a vote this winter in view of the fact
that the public and the president would
both be unfriendly, and that it will be
better party policy to wait until the Re-
publicans have both houses and the
presidency before entering upon the
discussion of this subject. twill not, it
Is claimed, be of any party advantage or

The Treasury Portfolio VIII Quite
Likely Be Placed In the Hands OF
Senator Allison
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Mr. Allison is
the latest. emphatic candidate. for
place insMr. Harrison's cabinet accord
ing to rumor. Ii is known. that when
Iowa withdrew Allison from the Repub-
lican national convention, 1t was at his
desire that -his.votei was cast solid for
Harrison, and. did much to. hasten the
changes that brought about that nomi-
nation. Senator. Allison, with. Aldrich as
a lieutenant, has. had lots to do the last
few years with the finances of the coun-
try. He has been chairman of the com.
mittee on appropriations md, in MANY
absences of Senator Morrill,, has been
acting chairman of the COMMITTEE on
finance. He has had much to do In
framing the senate tariff bill, and it Is
said that in that matter, he received
much advice from Gen. Harrison, and
that he has shaped the finance commit
tees policy in way to meet Gen.
Harrison's views. For these and many
other reasons it is believed that Senator
Allison will take the treasury portfolio.
Should he do 50, it seems settled that
David b. Henderson will be the next
United States senator from Iowa Con-
gresham A. G. Thompson, of Ohio, who
has just returned here after his re-elec-
ton, says that Senator Sherman does
not desire cabinet position, but the
statement is still made that Sherman is
most likely to have the state department
portfolio. Sherman in the state depart
ment, Allison in the treasury, Miller in
the interior, Alger in the war, Frye or
Hale in the navy, Wannamaker III the
postoffice, and Judge I. +. Little, of
North Carolina. or Judge w. o. Brad
ley, of Kentucky, as attorney general,
if the South is TO get a cabinet office.
This is upon the theory that Blaine is to
20 into the senate. 1t is stated that L.
|. Heath, the well known Washington
correspondent of the indianapolis Jour
nal and Omaha Bee, and the author of
several works of travel, will be Harri-
sons private secretary. William Walter
Phelps is mentioned for minister to
France; Murat Halstead for Germany
and Whitelaw Reid to succeed Phelps
at the court of st. James.

Democrats down South will count out
