INDIANAroLIs, IND, June 26.-The fact
that General Harrison is not rich, with
his leadership of the Indiana bar and
consequent large and Lucrative prac-
tice, has been explained to me in but
one way by dozen people. He was
early hampered in the race for wealth
by the war. Just rs he was beginning
to win clients he was called to his coun-
try's service and he promptly respond
ed. Since that time his career has been
interrupted several times by politics,
and notably his six years term in the
Senate. But beside all this, his friends
say that General Harrison's generosity
to others knows no stint. He seems to
find more happiness in giving than in
receiving. And yet he is as reserved
and quiet about his philanthropy as he
is about his religion. Though man of
strong religious convictions and deep
piety, he is silent upon sacred subjects,
and in charity he lets not his right
hand know the deeds OF his left.
General Harrison himself told me an
interesting anecdote during IN after
noon drive last week that serves to illus
trate the sharp poverty OF his earliest
days OF professional struggle.
Mr., Miller proposed that the carriage
pass by the house where the General
lived with his young bride when. he first
came to Indianapolis from Ohio. The
carriage presently drew up before this
early home. 1t stands to-day Just as it
stood then, only in those days it was in
the outskirts OF Indianapolis, while now
houses stretch many blocks beyond it.
The house is little, one-story frame
structure, containing but three rooms,
but the lawyer and his bride when they
settled there in 1854 were rs happy MS
youthful hope and love could make
them.
AS We sat in the carriage looking at
this humble abode General Harrison
was moved to tell a story, which | shall
repeat as nearly us may be in his own
words:
Fright in front of that door, Y he said,
II received Ry first lawyers fee. It
was the first Sunday in our new home,
and had walked out on the sidewalk in
the afternoon and was standing there
looking with some pride at the front OF
the house when a man clsttered up on
horseback, He quickly made known
his Grand A man had been arrested
at Clermont, about eight miles from
here, on the charge OF obtaining money
under false pretense. The rider wished
me to appear before the justice OF the
peace there for the prosecution, Iasreed
to do SO, and he handed me a tive-dollar
gold piece. 1t was not an enormous
fee, but ! was glad to have it. The sum
was hardly large enough to warrant a
buggy, so the next morning ! rode to
Clermont on the back OF q pony that
hired aE stable. ] came back home
that night pretty well chafed, but had
succeeded in what l went for"

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 26.-For
six weeks past the General has been try
ing an important will case in another
county of this State. His duties there
prevented his attending the recent ses.
sion Of the Presbyterian General AS
sembly in Philadelphia, to which he
was delegate. His enthusiasm in his
work is shown by his remark on his re-
turn to indianapolis last week, after the
land case was over. He met in the
street William Wallace, brother OF
General Lew Wallace, and his partner
when he first began practice, SEEKING
Wallace by both hands, he exclaimed:
eve won the case, Will, and I'm as
proud and happy as when We were boys
together"
General Harrison Is plain and neat in
his dress, as becomes professional gem
tleman. His clothing is always OF dark
hue, his linen spotless and devoid Of
jewelry.
AS a politician he has always been the
furthest from boss. When, as Sena.
tor from Indiana, he influenced not q
little federal patronage, the only fault
found with him was that he was not
partial enough to his personal friends.
He always recommended men who were
good Republicans and fit for office, but
those recommendations did not always
fall TO those most jealous in his personal
interest. He believes with Sir Thomas
Moore, who first uttered in utopia" the
saying which Grover Cleveland has pla.
CARRIED, that public Office is public
trust"
With the possibility of a Presidential
so imminent as it was last
Wednesday, one might expect that some
signs OF perturbation could be detected
in the daily movements and current
speech OF this captain OF Indiana Repub.

Tn. question of n Strike to be settled at
Fridays Conference.

Fridays Conference.
Tho; wage differences in the iron in
dustry will reach crisis next Friday.
The various sub-lodges are holding meet
inps to decide which alternative offered
nv the manufacturers shall be accepted,
whether 20 accept reduction Of ten per
cent in wages or enter upon a lockout.
II can be predicted with reasonable GER
tainty that the answer Of the sub-lodges
will be to reject the manufacturers scale
reducing wages ten per cent. The ques-
ton simply involves itself into whether
or not the manufacturers meant what
they said when they said they would
shut down their mills II their scale was
not accepted. They had put the thing
the same way in years gone by, but fin
ally Welded. So Il is almost impossible
to convince the rank and file OF the as
sociation that the manufacturers mean
what they say this year.
An Associated Press telegram from
Pittsburgh, received last night, says:
The reports Of the lodges Of the Anal
gamated Association upon the wage
question are being made rapidly and up

not diyulge the result OF the votes until
the matter is laid before the Conference
Committee next Friday. 1t is said
however, that the vote Is against accept

the committees come together again on
next Friday, the Amalgamated people
will insist on continuance of the pres
ent wages, while the manufacturers will

idol of one faction and the bette noir oil
the other. The chasm that has sepa.

"The nomination of Gen. Harrison,
following that of President Cleveland,
gives reasonable security that we are to
have a decent campaign. We shall be
spared the nameless horrors Of 1884, and
cur wives and daughters may safely be
allowed to read the daily papers. The
cllumnies against the President have
become twice told, yea twice ten
thousand times told tale. His life in
Albany and in Washington has been q
sufficient answer to all assaults upon Ills

General Harrison is gentleman Of
unstained reputation, and the scavengel
will vainly seek for material against him

for Vice President, is an ideal business
man, and has in a great degree the con
