WHO FIRST NAMED HARRISON.

w l. .
The question has been raised, Who
first named Harrison as candidate
for the Presidency" The Meriden
(Ct.) Republican claims the honor for
one of its townsmen, Hon. VIM. w.
Lee, a member of the Connecticut legis-
lature. In the spring Of 1884 caucus
assembled to choose delegates to a
state convention which was to name
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago. After the business had been
transacted it was proposed that bal
lot be taken as an expression of the
preferences of those present.
Blaine had a large majority but there
was one vote for Harrison, of Indiana.
In response to the query " wonder who
it was? Mr.. Lee said that was his
vote; that he thought it was the
strongest nomination that could be
made. LIST, he was man with clean
record. I'd, a brave and honored sol
der. Sd. he had kept free from all
those animosities and quarrels in
which some of our leading men had
figured conspicuously; and 4th he could
unite the party and be elected. Mr..
Lee further said while he did not sup.
pose Harrison could be nominated. that
he believed the time would come when
he would vote for him for President
After waiting four years and advocat.
ing Harrison all the time and in a
minority, now he has the chance.
Lee does not claim to be a prophet
or the son of prophet, but thinks it is
a case of tolerably good guessing.
Who is ahead of him?

KENOSHA Y. M. G. ASSOCIA-
TON.

The Y. M. G. Association of this city
is steadily growing in favor, particu-
larly with the young, as its methods of
work are becoming better known.
Young persons find they can enjoy all
the rational recreatiOns and amuse-
ments they can reasonably desire, be-
sides acquainting themselves with the
duties that pertain to right living and
good citizenship. The friends of the
association are not so fortunate in this
city us in some other cities of even less
population, where capitalists have
given literally for the erection of COM
modious buildings, with suitable fur
nishments, for the use of the associa-
ton. An edifice of pleasing appear
ance and with conveniences which
young men can call their own gives an
impetus to the enterprise aud growth
of an association of this kind far great
er than many suppose. The Y. M. G.
Associations have become so general
and so much in favor, not only with
the churches, but with the business
people, that the lack of an institution
OF this sort in even a small city is re-
garded as a want of the right public
spirit. Up to the present time the
number of good buildings in the state
erected expressly for the uses of the Y.
M. G. Associations IS not large, but the
prospects are encouraging that more
will be added every year. The cur
rents of public sentiment are running
in the right direction. The Associa-
ton in this city has accomplished more
for young men, and even for men in
middle age, than is generally known.
No pains are taken to herald abroad
its good works; they speak for them.

ing room. The Woman's Auxiliary to
the Y. M. G. is rendering good service,
but many more workers in that depart
ment might be employed to much ad-
vantage. The Sunday P. M. meetings
in the Hall of the Association have
been increasing in attendance, and it is
said that these meetings are attended
by persons who are not in the practice
of attending the churches; probably for
the reason they feel more at ease where
the seats are free to all.

THE WORLDS MARCH OF
PROGRESS.

The Northeastern Christian Advo-
cate, the organ of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of the northwest, pub
lished in Chicago, gives hopeful view
OF the progress of right sentiment, and
declares the Republic is being lifted to
higher plane against certain evils.
The Aduocate gives a summary of the
more recent legislation in many of the
states for the better suppression of the
| liquor traffic, and for the encourage.
ment Of education. The laws in many
of the states have been so amended as
to render them more effective; county
local option laws have been passed in
nine states and territories: laws re-
quiring temperance education in
schools have been passed in sixteen
states. The Adoocate sums up its
state ments as follows:
Somebody or something has been
doing some mighty lifting. Let each
one make his own theory, but let him
thank God for the upheaval Present
ly we shall have all parties openly
pledged to prohibition, the defense of
our school system against all assaults
by whatsoever enemies, and the issue
will be open, brave. unfaltering and
successful"
While it is pleasing to the friends of
progress to note these advancements
of society and of good government, it
is evident at the same time that some
men-some party of men having con.
troll of legislation-must have secured
this progress in governmental matters.
If credit is to be given anywhere, should
it not be where credit is due? Can
any party claim the honor of the adj ]
vanced laws on the statute books
which has never contributed any thing
to their enactment? It is not prob.
able that any of the reformatory legis-
lation in respect to temperance and
kindred matters will be claimed as
having originated in the Dem ocratic
party. especially in any of the northern
states of the Union. The Prohibition
lists have never yet been in power as a |
distinct party in any state, and no |
specific legislation is theirs. The Re-
publican party is the only one besides
the Democratic which has had the
control of legislation. It is safe to

POLITICS GETTING UPPERMOST
The preparations for political con-

Calls are out in all parts of the state
for nominating candidates to be sup.

is natural that Office expectants should
begin to be i'll at ease, and inclined to
secure the favor of their friends at the
caucuses-town, ward and city. Polit.
ical customs have greatly changed
since olden times. Aspirants for Office
do not hesitate to speak out and tell
the people their wishes Once NODES
ty precluded a man from asking for
office, but for generation or more all
of this sort of modesty has mostly van
ished. There are now and then in
stances where the people seek the can
didate and bring him out, and the can
didate does not count the favor of a
nomination from the people. It is not
expected the modern practice of office
aspirants will be changed by any thing
now said; it is only referred to as a
matter of history.
