General Harrisou's Acceptance.

In formally accepting the Republican
nomination for the Presidency General
Harrison so conducted himself and so
spoke as to meet the highest expectations,
not only of Republicans but of all Arneri-
can citizens. His speech was that of an
earnest, Jealous Republican. addressed to
Republicans, but it was at the same time
the sort of speech to excite pleasureable
feelings of pride in the hearts Of the earn
est men of all parties. The speech was
not a long one, but in 1t were graceful and
fitting references to the other candidates
before the convention; hearty indorSe-
ment of the platform; mastery charac-
terizatlon Of the principles Of the party;
dignitied acknowledgment of the honor con-
ferred upon him, and frank expression of
his gratitude
The speech is one that will live with Re
pubicans good many years, and as it is
an index to the character of the candidate
II VIII be studied to advantage by those IN
remote States VINO have been waiting for
this ceremony of formal Introduction.
General Harrison sounded the keynote Of
great campaign when he said; The
Republican party has walked in the light of
the Declaration Of Independence and init
mated that all that the Republican party
has done is in keeping with all that the OBJ
servance of the Fourth of July signifies and
implies. Whatever else the other parties
may say or do, the Republican party is the
party most closely associated with the
events that come to mind with the waving
of the old flag, and if it should bring about
a revival of patriotism will not the whole
people be the better for itg
Nothing, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
could be more TO the point or in better taste
than General Harrison's reference TO the
opposing party: 1.-The principles of gov
eminent and the practices of administra-
ton upon which issues are now fortunately
so clearly made are so important in their
relations to the National and to individual
prosperity that we may expect an unusual
interest in the campaign. Relying wholly
upon the considerable judgment OF our fell
low citizens and the gracious favor Of God,
we will confidently submit our cause to the
arbitrament of free ballot There is
sharp challenge in those well-chosen words,
but not even a Democrat can object TO the
order of battle

Tho Old Wings Will Respond.

The enthusiasm over the nomination Of
General Harrison is not confined to Repub-
lcans, but is breaking out among many
Democrats, who recall with pride the
triumphs of his distinguished grandfather,
and recognize that the chief issue now is
protection the same as then. In Kentucky,
the home of Henry Clay, and the favorite
stamping ground of the Wings, an unex-
pected interest is taken in General Har-
rlson, and very friendly wishes for his sue
cess are heard from many unexpected
sources. General William Henry Harrison
carried Kentucky in 1910 by twenty-five
thousand majority. Many of the Wings
that voted for HIM are still living, and the
cry Of "Tippecanoe and Protection too,
sounds very pleasant to an old-tiIne tariff
Wing. They see that the issue of protec-
ton IS the man question dividing the par
ties in this campaign, and it Will not re-
qulre great effort for them to align them
selves alongside of a Harrison now as they
did in 1910. THE truth is" said a promi-
nent kentuckian recently, "an old Wing
makes o poor modern Democrat" With
the great issue for which the Wings so
tenaciously fought again at stake. and
with a grandson of the Harrison honored
and loved by the Wings of $40 for q
leaaer, this year is going to see a good
many Of the old-tlme Wings stepping out
Of the Democratic party to follow this later
Harrison 10 victory.

The Work of Organization.

Every body understands, says the New
York Tribune, how absolutely necessary to
political success is an active, enthusiastic
and well-equipped organization. Particu-
larry is this the case right here in the city
OF New York where the enemy is SO strongly
entrenched, where it possesses every posi-
bic advantage, where the Republican cam
paign is carried on at the very best under
most serious discouragements, and where,
as we all know, our greatest danger next
November lies. The Democrats here have
two remarkable organizations, with their
qualifications extending into every election
district. Tammany Hall is at this moment
establishing a distinct organization in each
of the eight hundred and tifty-six polling
districts, and that means a careful and ex-
haustive canvass from house to house
throughout the entire city.
The Republican party can carry the State
of New Yorliif it will, but to do so it must
pull down the enormous Democratic major
ity in this city. There is way of doing
this, and only one way. The Democrats
rely fer their success upon the laboring
men, but upon the issue presented IN this
campaign the vote of every wage-earner
belongs to the Republican candidates. Per-
sonally, Cleveland is exceedingly unpopular
with the working people, and If they are
properly informed of what his candidacy
means to them individually, If they can be
taught how his success is to affect their
means of livelihood, their opportunities
of work and their wages-if these things
are brought home TO their minds in cold
facts, there will be no trouble about carry
ing New York for Harrison and Morton.

THE TWO EXTREMES.
A Curious Case of Political Cussed.



A German newspaper in Chicago Is en-
gagged in the congenial work of denouncing
the Republican platform and candidates on
the ground that they are IN favor Of
Temperance and morality" This organ
of opinion does not admit, says the Chicago
Journal, that the Republican platform is in
favor of " free whisky" but condemns it on
opposite grounds. Some Democrats boast
and some Republicans fear, that the infiu-
ence of this newspaper On German opinion
will be very damaging to the Republican
party. These hopes and fears are alike
groundless. The newspaper in question
has long opposed the Republican party, and
here in Illinois, where its influence is most
widely exercised, the Republican vote has
shown no dangerous falling off. Besides, no
party in this country will suffer among any
class of voters by being denounced as in
favor Of temperance and morality.
But it is curious that the most powerful
liquor organization in the country has
adopted resolutions (or PLATFORM that
reads very much like the resolution on the
same subject adopted by the Republicans.
The National Liquor Dealers convention,
which met in Chicago in 1886, adopted the
following resolutions, which are a little
stronger, if any thing, than the language
included in the Republican platform:
" Rssolrtd, That we are in favor of both pub
lie and private morality and good order and
popular education.
"Rssoiced That we most earnestly favor tenn
perance and mott strongly condemn intempcr-
ancc. We recognize and admit the evils that
rcsul, from the abuse Of ali kinds of liquors.
and condemn in the strongest terms every
place, by whatever name known. that encour-
ages or permits this abuse"
Why does not the newspaper referred 10
denounSe the Liquor Dealers Association
as temperance" and prohibitionist'
body? The reason is easily given. Be
cause it did not desire to oppose the objects
Of the Liquor Dealers Association. while it
was determined to oppose the Republican
candidates, and any excuse answered its
purpose better than none.
Again, 1t must recur 10 any candid mind
that the party must De nearly right which
