istration in all our national history
which has exclved so much unfavor-
able comment. and such widespread
dissatisfaction among the men of all
races, parties and colors, as that Of
President Harrison. Everywhere it
has been stamped q stupendous
failure. He seems - be endowed
with the faculty Of getting on the
wrong side Of every great question
Of the day and this has no. tended
to make bis position more pleasant.
Especially is it the case 10 North
Carolins, where his popularity is
about as great as in Kansas, in which
state, according 70 Senator Ingalls,.
be couldn't appoint friend to office,
because he didn't have a friend there
Whatever may be the condition Of
affairs in Kansas, the denunciatlon
of the President by the press and
leaders of the Democratic party in
North Carolina is most cruel and
unjust. The editors are not capable
Of an1 sort Of gratitude for services
rendered and seem TO have forootton
that it was in Harrison's power, when
he came into office to have endanaer-
ed if not overt,rown the mower of
the Democrats in the state. If his
policy had been conciliatory one.
If be had shown djsposition TO
confirm the old friends Of the Repub-
li,ans and to make now ones thero
