Characteristic Of tho Man.

The New York Press, commenting on
Gen. Harrisons Put-in-Bay reception
speech, says:
There is something about Benjamin
Harrison that attracts tho confidence Of
the people. Every speech he makes shows
his ability, sincerity and earnestness, and
the solid way in which he stands by the
Republican platform Is convincing evil
dence that under him the country will
have an economically sound administra-
ton. Flo is not given to political pyro-
technics, and will not take any chances
with tho prosperity of the country by fol-
lowing dangerous administrative poll
cies"
The Press puts it well when it says
there is something about Gen. Harri-
son that attracts tho confidence of the
people" The expression defines his ruling
characteristic. Gen. Harrison has one Of
those evenly balanced and well poised
characters, which, without presenting any
particular point for exceptional approval,
challenges general admiration and attracts
the confidence of people. This con-
his sincerity, his earnestness and conscien-
tious devotion to principle as it is of his
ability. He creates the impression of be-
ing "a safe man to tie to-" Those who have
had business dealings with him, or
who have come in personal contact
with him even casually, have noticed in
how large degree he possesses
this quality of begetting conf
dencc. AT all times and under all cir
cumstances he has the manner of man
who acts from high and pure motives and
who is quito above being swayed by con-
siderations of selfish or personal aggran-
dizement. He is naturally conservative,
and this is II quality that attracts conf
dence. People have read Gen. Harrison's
speeches, numbering more than forty
since his nomination, and have wondered
at his never making q mistake. He is
never extreme, never rash, never abusive,
never imprudent, never unguarded. This
Is Characteristic of Gen. Harrison under
all circumstances. Those who know him
could not conceive of his doing q rash
thing. If elected president his admins
tration will be conservative in the best
and highest sense of the term. Indian

William l.. Scott, chairman of the DEM
ocratic campaign committee, is one Of
those aristocratic Bourbons who, being
worth millions themselves, despise tho
man who is so unfortunate as to live by
his labor. Scott used to be frank enough
to express himself as, for instance, when
he said:
"You can never control the laboring
man until he has TO live today on who's he
will earn tomorrow"
II is worth while in this connection to
remember Gen. Harrison's views on the
same matter:

The Charleston Star says that
Hon. G. P. Simpson, of Mason
county, delivered one of the ablest
and most satisfactory speeches upon
the tariff issue, that was ever heard
in Elk district, Kanawha county,
last Saturday week. The Kanawha
Gazette speaking of the same meet
ing says "Mr Simpson who made
one of those tariff speeches he is
famous for. He was cheered time
and again. 1t was "A very enthu-
siastic crowd. This winds up the
series of speeches made by Mr..
Simpson. We are sorry that he
can not stop with us until the cam
paign is over. He goes to-day to
make a number of speeches in Mer-
GER and adjoining counties"

Gen. White.

Gen. Robert White, of Wheeling,
addressed large and enthusiastic
crowd of Democrats at the Court
House, last Thursday night. He is
a pleasant, eloquent and entertain
ing speakers. He dwelt almost ex-
cIusively upon the tariff and anaIy-
zed it in a way that must have been
convincing to his hearers. He
showed up the inequalities of the
tariff; how it bore heavily upon the
necessaries of life, and lightly upon
the Iuxuries; how it oppressed the
poor, and favored the rich. We
have not the space or the time to
follow him through his speech, and
therefore, suffice it to say, that it
was one of the best and most forci-
bic speeches that has been made in
this place, during the campaign.
AT the conclusion of Gen. Whites
speech, Hon. Chas. E Hogg, was
called for, who responded in an ex-
eellent fifteen minutes speech. He
will go to Richie county this week,
where he will make several speech
es. There are no better speakers
in the State than Mr.. Hogg.

ment to labor He will make an
affable, approachable Governor, who
will devote his best energies to the
development of the State.
Attorney-General Caldwell, Au-
di:or Duffy, Treasurer Thompson,

Morgan, are too well known and
tried to need further commendation
than a reference to their record of
the past four years service. No
State ever had more watchful or eff
fieient officers, and no State ever
bounded forward with greater
strides in advancement than ours
has in the past four years, thanks
to the present able Governor and
these trusted officers who will again
be elected as a just reward for their
f;lithfulness.
No more suitable or acceptable
nominations for the Court of Ap-
peaIs could possibly have been made
than Hon. John W. English, of Ma
son county and Hon. Henry Bran
non, of Lewis County. While they
are Democrats, when elected they
will lay aside the garb of party for
the ermine of the Bench, and be-
come the just Judges of all the peo-
pie. Taken from the highest to the
lowest and from top to bottom, the
State ticket is one of the best that
has ever been presented to the peo-
pie, and we predict will be triumph
antIy elected by from eight to ten
thousand majority.

Before voting the Republican
ticket next Tuesday, the old soldier
who is drawing a pension or has an
application on file, should think for
a moment which party is his friend.
Under the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland more pensions have
been granted to old soldiers than
during any ten years proceeding,
under Republican rule.
1t is true that the Republicans
while in power, assisted by DEM
ocratic house passed some excellent
pension laws, yet at the same time
they Were but "dead letters" in the
statute books. and so intended by
Republican Congressman before vo-
ting for such laws. Now General
Black has honestly, fairly and inn
partially enforced these laws, and
others passed since he has been
Commissioners of Pensions, and the
result has been that thousands of
deserving veterans all over this
country have been granted pen
sions, as well as many poor widows,
dependent parents and children
Don't be gulled into voting for Har-
rison by the silly story that he will
retain Gen. Black as Commissioner
of Pensions, if he is elected because it
is a silly falsehood and only circu-
lated to catch your vote. Gen. Black
is a Democrat and would not serve
under Harrison should he be elected
and tender him the office he now
holds; and besides the office is of
too much political Importance to be
given to the enemy. Don't be
blinded by the prejudices growing
out of the war, the false cry of free
trade, or the damnable lies of the
dirty henchman of the Republican
party. Pause for moment before
casting your ballot for Harrison and
Morton, and glance back four years
at the glorious administration of
Grover Cleveland in every particu-
lar, especially in the pension Office,
and ask yourself if he has not prov
en- himself to be your tried friend.
Vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
Let us try Gen. Black, an old veter-
an himself, four years moro, as our
Commissioner of Pensions.

The Republican leaders in all
their manifestos to their party say
that if the Democrats are successful
it will be by fraud and wanton use
of money, or as they term it,
eBoodle." "When man is drunk,
he imagines that he is the only So
Der man, in the community and ev-
erybody else is drunk" Fifteen
hundred dollars of Republican boo
die money came into Mason county,
and five thousand into Kanawha
last week. The only arrest so far,
for attempted fraud, is member OF

mittee of New Jersey.
The Racine Tribune, is dirty,
lying sheet, bought up to do the
mean, slanderous work of the Re
publican party of this county, that
the Gazette is too cowardly to do, or
dare not do. The last issue of the
Tribune was filed with the vilest
slandcrs against some of the candi-
dates on the Democratic county
ticket, which only shows the straits
the Republicans of this county are
in, and the low depths to which they
will descend, to succeed in this cleo
ton. We are informed that the
Republican managers and boodlers
have ordered and paid for thou
sand copies of the Tribune, to be
circulated among the voters of this
county. So far as any effect it will
have, will only be to strengthen the
Democrats in the support of their
nominees, and make them all the
more active to secure their election.

The tax on lumber is one of the
most outrageous and indefensible
features of the present tariff law.
1t protects foreign countries at the
expense of our own. 1t is a curse
to the farmers of the country. 1t
has retarded the development fthe
prairie States of the country. thas
placed the forests of the great
Northwest in the control of little
ring of millionaires, such as Alger,
Palmer, Sawyer and others of that
class, who have used a portion of
the tribute the law has allowed
them to extort from the people to
debauch the electors of their States
and to elevate themselves into high
official places. This never benefit
ted an American workingman to
the extent of single penny. 1t is
fraud upon the American people,
without a single redeeming feature.
But the Republican party says that
rather than do away with this fraud,
or reduce the lumber tax by a sin
gle penny, it will give the Ameri-
can people free whiskey. OF course
the saw-mill trusts contribute freely
to the campaign fund of the party
which is helping it-not the Ameri-
can people, and which pledges itself
that the robbery shall continue if
it is restored to power.
