u Indiana Democrat Gives his 0pin-
SON Of Harrison.
WASHINGTON: D. g., Nov. 10
Everybody is discussing the sort
If man that Presitlent-elect FLAIR.
rison is. The general policy of his
administration is being guessed at
anon the knowledge Of his char
letter. Men of both parties agree
as to his conservatism, integrity
and ability. He is most pro
bounced partisan, and will be in
inc with his party on all great
principles, it is said, but the eS-
,remists will be greatly disap
pointed with him.
\ DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATE OF HAN.
RasoN.
A Star reporter talked, today
with two men who have known
nim personally and in politics dur.
ing his politicalcpreer. They stand
Numerically opposed to each 9th
At in politics, and yet agree prac
tically in their estimate of the
President-elect. Mr.. Dalton is the
Democratic Postmaster Of the
House. He has been an active
Democrat in Indiana politics for
years. In six MONTHS" he said,
there Sill be more complaining of
Mr.. Harrison by Republicans than
5y Democrats. He will give a good
clean and able administration
Everything abont it will be high
ioned and honorable. Democrats
and the people generally will have
nothing to complain of. 1t will be
a conservative administration,
much more liberal than the ex-
tremistS would desire. and no man
or Clique of men can run Mr.. Har-
rison. lie will be President. This
will cause some heart burning in his
own party. he is a civil service
reformer, and is as firm as Cleve-
land. In this he will antagonize
those Of his party who will demand
a clean sweep. He will not yield.
He is a respecter of the law, one of
the ahlest lawyers in the country.
and a man who takes him for a
person of no more than ordinary
intellect will find himself deceived.
HIS SOUTHERN POLICY.
"Some of his party" continued
Mr.. Dalton, will demand a vigor-
ons and oppressive policy in the
South. They will be disappointed.
He will adopt the most liberal
Southern policy any Republican
has ever thoaght of. He will treat
the Southern people as we'll as Dir.
! Cleveland has. His appointments
In the South will so to kepubli-
cans, but he will appoint no car
pet baggers, none OF the IapScal
lions that have been placed over
The Southern people before. Some
OF the border States are now very
close. He will try to draw them
into his party ranks. II he makes
a bad appointment it sill be be-
cause he is deceived. | think he
! will be with his party on the edu
cational question, on the pension
question, as to the admission OF
Territories, as to tariff and all those
! issues. The South may be worked
on through the Educational bill
and internal revenue repeal"
COMPENSATORY VIEWS OF MIR,
MCPHERSON.
Mr.. Edward Mcpherson has been
quoted a great deal of late, but not
generally for as conservative a talk
as he gave to a Star reporter this
morning: he said that Mr. !:.< H /; \!
tive and liberal ADMINISTRATION
Els Southern policy wonll be lib
eral. lie sopid not astempt VIC
+. aentlY 80 61his aSef1cr the aONl
South. Ne would break it up BY
his liberality. In the first place he
would give them good officials
Then the Educational bid and re
peal Of the tobacco tax would do
the rest. His would he a firm, but
clean and liberal, administration,
and he would have nothing but
kindness for the South.
Mir. Mcpherson said further that
MIR. Harrison was civil service
reformer, and there would be no
criticism OF his policy on that
score.
