The magnitude of a national debt may

President Harrison is fairly entitled
to the honor of being the model presi-

And if he should leave the presidential
chair to make way for either Mr.. Blaine
or adeInocratic nominee, his successor
could hardly excel him in felicitous
speeches.-Boston Transcript.
