Harrison stronger Than Ever


Frsrn the New York Mail and Express.
The Democratic S,sa paid high comPli-
ment to Mr.. Blaine yesterday, when it said
that in its judgment mo candidate whom
the democracy could name in June could
have beaten Mr.. Blaine at the polls in No
vember." It might also add that no candi-
date the democracy can name, not even its
special favorites, Hill or German, viii be
able to defeat President Harrison at the polls
next November
The business men Of the country have
learned to place confidence in President
Harrison's integrity. They admire his pro-
found convictions and bis extraordinary
ability As forcible writer and an eloquent
speaker on national issues. Above all, they
trust him to stand as barrier before the rl-
inous policy Of the free silver coinage men
in bis own and in the democratic party-as
the one barrier between conservatism and
financial chaos.
President Harrison started out with the
distinct purpose Of giving the people busi
mess mans administration. Heidi not seek
popularity, he did not court applause. Dc
followed the dictates Of his conscience, and
bv prudent. intelligent and earnest efforts
has made his Administration more Popular
from day to day and stronger from hour t'
/ hour.
President Harrison, whose denomination
seems to be the logic Of the situation, vii
be much stronger at the polls in November
/ ls93. than lie was in November, 1855.

NEw YoRk, Feb. 15.--Lndwig Bauer, a
short, slightly-built German, ~ years old,
was to-day committed to the Harlan jail,
in default of 81, 400 bail to awsit trial for
throwing viiriol on two women The CON-
plainant was Caroline 0bsrgloeh, who is ten
years the prisoners senior. She lives with
her husband, Christian, at l1S7 Locust ave

Obergloeh is stable man in the fremont
horse car stables, and is away from home a
good deal of the time. Bauer had been a
boarder in the family for more than two
years before O5ergloch discovered that be

er was obliged TO leave the house, but con
tinued to visit Mrs Obsrgloch in her hus-
bands absence. He called there week ago
and found Mrs. Obergloch talking 10 a
strange man. Bauer was jealous and threat
ened to scar the woman's face with vitriOl.
Friday Bauer called on Mrs Obersloch,
and was set upon by her soa. Christian, who
is l. years old. Bauer thought It time 10

when overhauled. He drew soda water
bottle from his pocket, and flung it among
his pursuers. 1t crushed against the wall
and its contents scattered over Mrs. Ober-
gloch's left shoulder and arm and over Mr..
Felter's right wrist and hands.
The bottle had contained nearly half a
pint of vitriol. A doctor was sent for and
applied remedies. The women's dresses were
ruined, but their sleeves had TsEtly protect
