The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1892-06-17

Mr.. Harrison is in every way repre-
sentative of his party as it is in these
latter years. He is in hearty sympathy
with its policy, its traditions and its
purposes. He has stopped at nothing to
promote its ideas. His administration
has ably and unflinchingly-perhaps
some would say unscrupulously-served
its desires.
He has managed to do with dignity
much that the party wanted done which
would have subjected less adroit self
respect to good deal Of embarrassment.
He has succeeded in rewsrding the col

sentiment of his party beyond forgive.
ness. He has saved his personal dignity
by cutting Dudleys acquaintance, and
at the same time he has rendered Dud-
ley's dynamite" innocuous by protect
ing him from prosecution.
He has turned foreign complications
to account by clustering when it was
safe to bluster, and by reporting his
pereliptory demands upon foreign
governments only when he had in
or.nation that those demands had been
complied with.
/. must be frankly admitted also that
his administration, SO far as the routine
business is concerned, has been success.
full. He has approved the squandering
of the surplus and the extravaganza of
the billion dollar congress, and he has
put a man at the head of the treasury
who knows how to juggle the figures so
as to hide the deficiency till after the
election.
And for the future. Mr.. Harrison's
aims are those of his party. He believes
in the control of elections by an army OF
johnny" Davenports under force bill.
He favors such use of the pension list
for party purposes as Raum has made.
Those who desire such use Of the Gov
ernments bounty will be more than
satisfied with his nomination.
He approves the maintenance of worse
than war taxes in time of peace for the
sake of turning the earnings of the many
into the Golfers Of the favored few.
Those who desire to see the rule of the
trusts and monopolies made permanent
will rejoice in his denomination as step
in that direction.-New York World.

THE OFFICE HOLDERS CANDIDATE.

They Nominated Harrison In Expects-
tion Of Future Fsvors.
President Harrison is nominated for a
second term as the result of his own per-
sistent seeking and by means of the free
use of the opportunities of the Office he
holds. His campaign was ably planned,
splendidly managed and firmly and
courageously conducted to the end at
Minneapolis. The old guard Of his
army in the convention was a horde of
federal Office holders, led by federal Of
fee holders and inspired with the zeal
born of benefits received and fostered
by the hope Of favors yet to come. But
for the Office holding delegates and the
delegates secured by the use Of federal
patronage at the south, 0e Hon. Benja-
min Harrison would not be the candi-
date of his party.
The success of General Harrison's
campaign, directed from the White
House in his own interest, is a public
misfortune. 1t will impel and encour-
age every president Of the second or
third or fourth rate of ability to make a
desperate struggle to retain the power
which he has once gained by political
accident 1t illustrates with uncommon
force the dangers pointed out by William
Henry Harrison in his inaugural address.
when this corrupting passion" said
that sage and honest old patriot, "once
takes possession of the human mind, like
the love Of gold it becomes Unsuitable.
1t is the never dying worm in his bosom,
grows with his growth and strengthens
with the declining years of its victim"
The worm took possession of the breast
Of William Henry Harrison's grandson
long ago, and now the worm has pre-
vailed.-New York Sun.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
hcans at Minneapolis is sweeping drag
net OF glittering generalities. Every
thing within the range of political dis
putation is brought into it, most of them
in a perfunctory way, and some sort Of
indefinite promise given to enable the
Republican leaders TO deal with all
shades of all questions.
The planks calling for local legisla-
tion to protect employees of corpora
tions; declaring in favor of the oppressed
OF Ireland and Russia; denouncing trusts
and combines; demanding free mail de-
liveries; approving of the civil service
system, the Nicaragua canal, the adrnis-
sion OF territories as states, the cessioD
OF arid lands to states and territories,

not one Of the "honored leaders" was

1t cost Colonel Shepard $4,000 to get

The Republican party has forgotten
nothing but its promises and learned
nothing from its discipline of defeat. 1t
reiterates its preposterous claim that the
country has been made prosperous by
taxation, which is equivalent to saying
that if crops grow in spite of frosts,
frost is good for crops.-New. York
