Good Results From the Remarks of the Pres
ident il the South.
New YORK, April 26-There are thou
sands in all parts Of the country who feel,
with Depew, that the Presidents Southern
speeches prove that the caricatuTeS of his
opponents have slandeTed an Executive
who has had the ability and courage to
woTthily administer the Office Of Chief Mag
istrate of 65,000.000 of people. A Republi-
can of large influence said in this city last
week: "These speeches are a revelation to
NE. | never realized that the President
was such a man. felt as if l had done him
an injustice. and others have infinitely SLAM
dered him." 1t is true that other qualities
are needed in a Chief Magistrate besides
readiness in speech. But one popularity of
President Harrison's remarks is that they
constantly show how thoroughly he has
studied and how profoundly he has thou ght
about the questions upon which depenn the
welfare of the people in various sec
tions. His speeches ale surprisingly candid
and frank in reference 10 questions about
which men differ widely and pasSOnately,
and yet they breathe such sincere and
earnest desire to find the right and do 1t
tnat even his opponents are won b. them
Because those who Ii ten and those who
read find in the President Il man of wide
kHOM ltuEts ULOdl LnOuEub hIlu pau lbAlC
statesmanshp, they are led to remember
that his administration Of his great office
under circumstances Of much difficulty mas
been cOnspicuously clean, able and honor
able. 1t Is a valuable service to the R-pub-
lean party that the President renders, in
thus gaining for himself and his admlus-
tratiun, the resrect of the multitude, Ii he
should be a candidate again, or if he should
not be, in either case this better apprecia-
tiOn of the merits and work of the Rrpubli-
can President viii strengthen the Republi-
can cause, and in that the President is
truly serving the whole country, FOR the
prosperity aud welfare VI the country de-
pends upon the success of the national
policy he represents.
VanderblIs party returned from trip
through the Northwest and to Salt Lake.
Chauncey NJ. Depew denies that the object
of the trip was to extend the Vanderbilt
lines west of the Missouri or TO
parallel the Union Pacific or do
anything antagonistic TO the Union
Pacific. He says: 1t is safe 10 say
that Vanderbilt and all his party returned
this morning with enlarged views of the
West and buOyantly hopeful OF the future"
S8eabing Of the Presidents trip he says:
Probably no executive in any country
certainly no PreSideat-has ever been SO
mercilessly caricatured and rldiculed as
President Harrison. From causes largely
growing out of disappointment in the
distribution of patronage there was
no effort IN Congress, and very little
in the Republican press Of the country to
stem or reverse this tide of belttement
through picture and invented story. The
speec hes which the President has made in
the South, carried by the Associated
Press all over the country and
printed in the Republican, Demo-
cratic aud independent newspapers,
and universally read, have astonished the
people. Everywhere in the twelve States
we visited my universal acquaintance
brought NE in contact with representative
men of all parties. Wherever we stopped,
even for few moments, there was q
universal expression of astOHishment and ad-
miratiOn. The man whom the country had
been instructed TO believe and very largely
did believe was small in person and narrow
minded, presents in his utteranceS and
breadth of view an astonishing versatility
and felicity of expression, which are ac-
ccpted as exhibiting the highest qualities
desired in the Chief Magistrate of this great
nation. When the people are fooled they
get mad. They have been fooled on the
Mckinley bill and on Harrison. From pres
ent indications the result will be a strength
ening of the protective principle and the re-
nomination and reelection of General Har-
rison. There is no Democratic enthusiasm
in the West"
