General Harrison.

New 1ork tribune.
A final tribute CT admiration for the Repub-
lican leader. and of gratitude for the part he
has taken in the campaign, ought to find ex-
preston in every Republican newspaper to-day.
Calmly confronting every condition and emer-
gency, meeting the daily exactions Of his posi-
ton before the people with unfailing saeaeity
and self-respect, responding to every demand
upon his mind and heart preserving his own
serenity when thousands were trembling with
excitement. and presenting to the world az
every moment OF action and repose the ideal
of Christian gentleman, General Harrison has
confirmed upon q great stage the wisdom of the
party which chose him to lead IL.
Republicaniem has never lacked inspiring
leadership; the party is accustomed to being
proud of its candidates, and for this reason,
perhaps, the temper, the attitude and the utter
ances of General Harrison have failed to impress
his followers with that keen and grateful ad-
miratiop which honest Democrats would feel IL
by some divine interference they should ever Sc
lect a man Of his fibre for the Presidency, and
prevail upon him TO accept their nomination.
But every Republican as he goes to the polls
this morning is bound not only to renew his de-
votion TO his party. but to feel and express his
obligation for the wise, pure. patriotic aud manly
leadership under which. as be now believes, his
party has won a splendid victory.
