HARRISON WILL BOW TO FATE

The following telegram, with a big
scare-head, is from the Kansas City
Times Of last Saturday. It does look
as If Harrison is beginning to see what
everybody else has seen for about two
years:
mo show fer him-Harrison will
bow to fate-Success as against Blaine
said to be despaired of-T'he president
will not combat the republican wilI-Ill
health alone will stay the Maine kings
course-The virtual withdrawal OF the
Indiana magistrate from the race said
to have been decided on at the Saratoga
conference.
WASHINGTON, ID. G. August 26th-
The Evening Star, which has strong
administration tendencies, is authority
for the following: Mr.. Harrison finds
that the Blaine sentiment is so
strong that unless Blaine positively de
clines to permit his name to be pre-
sented at the convention the president
will withdraw from the contest. Mr..
Harrison is convinced that it will be
impossible to beat Blaine If his name
goes before the convention. This mat
ter was all talked over In the confer
ences at Saratoga, and it was generally
agreed that MIR. Harrison's future de-
pended upon Mr.. Blaine's health"

A POLITICAL PICTURE,

Why some people, who don't seem to
have any judgment to spare, will lei
political likes and dislikes run away
with that little, is mystery to US.
The following comparison is taken
from the Cresset of last week. We can
stand it; it shows ignorance to make
such break. They called Jerry an ig-
norant anarchist last year. We would
like to know when the Cresset editor
made the competitive examination
and who appointed him judge. OF
course he would not draw on his i'm
agination for facts. He IS the same
judge who says if man pays $40 for a
counterfeit $40 bill, and then destroys
it, he loses 500.
