= a GEXTLTIAN NAMED HARRISON WAS
g WOUNDED BY MAHONE.-In the anguish
i of tefeat-sO IL was at first reported
!, General Malone shot at a man aud
: wounded hin. On inquiry it was
. found that the name of the wounded
' man was Harrison.
@ The story was only a canaTd. Of
, course. for Malone has been defeated
So frequently that he has become phil
OsOpLical about such matters. Besides.
D he Is a man of sense and ambition, and
a is rot likely to throw his chances al
, future peferment away by any such pas
sionate ebulliii0ns Of disappointment.
If. however, this Incident had oc-
e CURED IN ancient times. II would have
D been regarded as of enough importance
TO be handed down to posterIty as di-
rect proof Of The theory of Omens. and
would undoubtedly have occupied &.
/ conspicuous position in the classical
r dictionary CT p0sterlty.
That Virginia Harrison. who is sail
to have been wounded in thethieh. ouiv
serves 10 emphasize the fact that an
other Harrison. now resident in WASH.
ingtoD. was wounded In his reputation
by Malone : iigDal defeat
The President disclaims all responsi-
biity for the disaster to Virginia Re
; publicans. The disclaimer. however.
does not alter the facf. Ii only shows
that Mr.. Harrison knows how 10 desert
a friend when In need. He would have
stood better before the nation if he hal
openly avOwed the hope that Mahor
would succeed, and his disappointment
when he net bis Waterloo. asa neo-
