HARRISON Is NARROW.
SO "a Republican H Says And He Per-
hapS Knows.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Charles b Farrell,
of this city, the predecessor of General
John M. Palmer as one of Illinois repre-
sentativcs in the United States Senate,
in speaking about the democratic Presi-
dental situation said:
"Cleveland will get the nomination.
without doubt, unless Campbell carries
Ohio again, and he will certainly be
elected il Harrison is renominatcd
But Harrison never will he renomi-
mated. He is too small, narro W
and contemplate to be chosen
again. He has put men in office all over
,le country who will have no more in
tlucnce in the convention than Collector
Clarke, of Chicago, has. His appoint
ments have made him enough enemies to
kill his chances of lording it in the White
House another term. Even his own
state is against him. The man who will
get the republican nomination and be
the next president is James G. Blaine.
Of course lie is candidate. His silence
is expected and necessary. His health
will not interfere. If Mckinley is vic
torious it may change the situation, but
Blaine would prove the stronger man.

81 have not been requested by the Ohio
democrats to make speeches in their

there, nor in any other state. and have
never given the slightest intimation of
an intention to do so. have confidence
that Gov. Campbell and all other tair-
minded political friends will understand
that if decline to go on the stump there
are perfectly good and valid reasons for
my action entirely consistent with a
most earnest desire for the success Of all
democratic candidates in Ohio or else
where. Ofcourse anticipate that the
cry will be raised in certain quarters, if
such request is made and declined, that
am selfish and Indifferent to the success
of the nominees of NV party, but such i'll
natured accusations do not expect to
escape in any event.-N. Y Sun.
