The Evening Wisconsin: President
Harrison was renominated, not because
he was the best man, but because he
was deemed the most popular and avail
able candidate, not in one section, but
in every section of the Union. His pop
ularity is widespread and general:
therefore he was properly considered
the strongest candidate. His admlnie-
tration has been clean, pure, patriotic
and wise, and therefore he possesses q
grand record to go before the American
people for its approval. He is strong in
the doubtful states, just where the Re-
/. publican party needs most strength.
He is strong in New York, Connecticut,
Indiana and Michigan. With the cleo.
toral votes of the first three he can be
elected without the votes of the silver
states. so-called. He is sufficiently
strong on the Pacific Coast to carry Cal

Wyoming. Senator Jones 10 q warm adj

Republican party eve more, and with
his influence Nevada will cast her votes
for Harrison. With Harrison We have
Q good fighting chance for West Virginia,
which has six electoral votes.
