Republican Presidential Nomination..
1t Is interesting 10 note that where It
was supposed that President Harrison
would encounter very serious opposi-
ton delegates arc being chosen in his
favor. There are various possible OK.
plantations OF this, but tho shortcut OK.
PLANTATION is that President Harrison's
denomination is seen to DO foregono
conclusion. 4
Those who would prefer somebody
else il they could find a stronger man
arc not forthcoming with their stronger
man. There is none. Mr.. Blaine out OF
tho way by his own choosing President
Harrison stands head and shoulders
above every other Republican rs an
available man.
There are other strong men, but cir
cumstances mako Harrison the strong
est to-day. and between now and tho
assembling Of the convention there can
be no change that will materially alter
the situation.
The President is strong with the par.
ty for the reasons that hayo made him
strong with the country. No partisan
opponent can show blunder on tho
part Of this administration. There
will be plenty Of assaults, as there have
been criticisms. but the history.of tho
administration is so fresh. that the peo-
ple are not .misled. - g 4
The Harrison administration has had
to deal with foreign complications I'M
usual in number and gravity, and in
all these matters 1t has shown a fine
diplomatic sense which challenges the
respect of the world and the admiration
OF the people OF the United States. The
administration Of domestic affairs has
been equally successful. -:
From whatever. point Of view it may
BIO examined, the Harrison administra-
ton has been success. The head OF
the administration has grown ON the
people. He was nominated and elected
as a hope. To-day he is the realization
OF hope. He has more than met
every expectation. His study has been
to strengthen his party by serving his
country acceptably, and this he has
done with tho highest success.
1t is as true as anything else that may
be said OF President Harrison that every
day adds to his hold on tho country. 1t
would be very strange if this werc with
out impression on his party.
The national convention will renomi-
nate President Harrison with an enthu-
siasm that will show in what esteem his
party holds him. This is the inevitable.
Whoever opposes it will be whistling
against the wind.

Mr.. Hart, of the Wheeling ISrEI.L1-

Tor delegate at large to the National
Republican convention. This would
be a just and appropriate recognition of
the eminent party services Of Mr.. Hart,
no better selection could be made, and
it is to be hoped the suggestion will
meet with the hearty approval OF Re-

Tho Observation-Disclosures.

Ihc MISUNDERSTANDING
The 1NTELLIGEScER's earnest advocacy
OF such a restriction Of immigration as
shall protect the country from the flood
tide that is pouring in, has brought
from all classes and conditions of peo-
pie the heartiest response. Commenda-
ton comes from. the rural Districts, from
the mining regions, from men who en-
ploy and from men who work for wages.
Nowhere has the idea taken firmcr
root than among the ioreign-born
citizens who are here to stay and who
appreciate the terrific pressure on tho
other side OF the ocean that is forcing
the quantity and quality Of the immi-
grafton OF the day.
The proposition to restrict immisra-
ton is properly regarded as a unnecessary
measure Of protection that will, fit in
logically with the system Of protective
tariff: 1t is seen to be illogical to let in
half a million OF human beings n year
while we are trying to keep out the
competing products OF the labor OF the
millions OF wage-carners who arc left
behind on the other side.
1t has been asked why the people oi
this country have submitted SO long to
tho evils now complained of. One an
swer is that the evils Shave increased
with the increase Of immigration. An
other answer is that these evils were
full upon us before they we're generally
appreciated.
Nearly ten, years ago tho INrELMGEN-
GER raised the cry iofsswarning, but that
was ahead OF the public appreciation,
and there were no such responses as
there are to-day. On the contrary the
politicians feared that the INrELLIGEx-
GER had struck a note that would make
,party discord. There arc no such fears
to-day, SO far rs We are advised. the
people arc pushing the politicians and
the politicians arc feeling the impulse.
1t would be well ii every party would
insert in its national platform plank
favoring the restriction OF Immigration;
not a lodging plank nor lodging meas
urc, but q plank that will mean tho pass
age of measure that will do tho thing
tho people want done.
Thus far no better suggestion has been
advanced than that early advanced by
the 1STELLldEScER, that good stiff head
tax shall be imposed on everybody who
desires to become one OF us. This is
practical and cannotb be lodged.
