do what lies in its power, and it is not
commonly an inactive newspaper in Il
Presidential contest, to make their ma
iority such that there will be no doubt
about it the morning after election.
What the Issue IL.
New York World (Unknown): While
Mr.. Harrison would make an honora-
BILE and acceptable President, he will be
beaten, and he ought to be beaten, be-
cause he represents the interests of the
favored few against the interests of the
many; because he stands pledged to a
policy of retrogression instead Of pro-
gression; because he is the candidate ofa
party which would make the war taxes
higher and the cost of living greater in
stead of reducing taxation by tariff re-
visionwhich would lessen the price ofar-
ticles of necessity. Thusthe contest is not
between Mr.. Cleveland and Gen. har-
rison, but between extreme protection
and honest tariff revision; between a
Chinese wall of prohibitory duties and
a freer trade with all the world. The
fight is one of principle, not of persons,
and the Worlds opposition to Mr.. Har-
rison is because he represents a princi-
pie which We believe to be antagonistic
to the prosperity of the country and
the welfare and happiness of the peo-
Pile.
A Strong Ticket.
Baltimore American (Rep.): The
ticket is strong one-as strong, per-
haps, as could have been selected. Its
character is not its least re-
commendation nor will the personality
of Mr.. Blaine be absent from the CAM
paign. Before the dog days are over
his clarion voice will be heard, and
the gallant soldier, successful business
man and Americas greatest statesman
will form a triumvirate before which
the British notions, interiected into the
contest through the fatuitX Of Demo-
cratic administration, will be swept
away like the mists of the morning.
The WASHINGTON Politicians.
Representative Mcdonald (Dem.), of
1.-The Democrats of Mime
sofa can now organize and carry their
state.n
Representative Spinola (Dem.), Of
New York-"NVe will knock him out
in the first round."
Representative Morrow (Rep.), Of
Strong on. the slope, Har-
rison's Chinese record is 'all right
The slope people demand protection.
He will win"
Representative Thompson {Dem.) of
CaIifornia-"Nom man with Harrison's
record-can. carry California.
Speaker Carlisle -"We can beat him
could have beaten any one they nomi-
mated"
Representative Randall declined an
opinion.
Representative w. C. P. Brecken-
ridge (Dem.), Of Kentucky-"I am sat
;sfed. I think we can beat the ticket"
Chairman Mills-''NNe will beat it.
The ,,workiugmen Of the country will
not vote for him. He can't carry Indl-
ana"
Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey
"Weak. He can't carry Indiana. He
sha'n't carry New Jersey. Cleveland
will beat 100000 votes in New York"
Representative Wilson (Dem.), Of
Iowa-"Not strong;no enthusiasm. Per-
feet mockery to cry out protection to
working people with such Chinese
record.n
Representative Reed (Rep.), Of
Maine-"S Satisfactory. We fight the
battle for protection. Harrison and pro-
tectoin can carry Indiana, the Pacific
states and the great industrial west"
Congressman S. S. Cox was at Man
hatton.. beach when a World reporter
told him Of the nomination. $50 it's
Harrison, is it? Well, Harrison in the
first place is good deal more Of an
Ohioan than Indianian. AS we all
know, he is the great-grandson of
old Tippecanoe.' His father, John
Scott Harrison, was a member of Con-
gress from Indiana in my day. The
son made his career in Indiana, too.
don't see, however, how Harrison
can make any headway in New York
against our admirable ticket, nor in
our sympathetic suburbs-New Jersey
and Connecticut. The coming contest
is to be upon economic questions rather
than persons, although the personality
of our ticket is unusually strong. Lock
ing the whole field over. | should say
the Democratic party has no walk-over.
Harrison is perhaps the strongest man
that could have been selected under
the circumstances. / should not be
surprised if the Democrats carried Cal
ifornia. The record Of Cleveland and
Thurman rs to the restriction Of Chinese
immigration is pronounced. This ques'
ton is matter Of life and death on the
Pacific coast"
