REASONS WHY HARRISON
CANNOT CARRY HIS OWN
STATE.
The Ticket Badly Overweightcd
by Reds Candidacy.

Fir. WAy>E. Tnd.. June 25 The great
question ihxt Is sgiiafing the minds Of
the politicians. now thst the Repnbli-
can National Convention i over. is,
scan Harrison carry New York and In
diana. the pivotsl States. without one ~
which. NJ least. he cannot expect 70 re-
main in the presidential chair for four
more years.
The President alone might be able 70
carry his own state, but IL i almost
foregone conclusion that Harrison anf
Reid cannot land Indians vote in The
electoral college for the Republican
marty. bv many thousands OF votes
The absence Of enthusiasm among the
headers il bound to have iis effect The
leaders. or some Of them. being in pol
itics.r say. OF course. fhsf they will sup
mort the ticket. The rank snd file. how
ever, being "out Of politics. except so
far As the mastery over their individual
ballot is concerned. come ont fatty snf
say they will not support The ticket IN
der any circumstances. How many Of
these latter can be whipped into line and
be made TO forge; their bitterness in the
excitement and the hurrsh OF the cam
paign when the clubs 60 marching and
the bands begin 10 play few weeks
hence, remains 10 be seen.
Bot not all the leaders who al along
opposed Harrison's denomination, will
rally TO his support.
Ex-Congreesman James B. White Who
was sent to Congress on 3 straight Re-
publican ticket. from this overwhelming
Democratic district, by : majority Of
!, nearly 5000 votes, and who IL far snd
away the most popular man in the dis
ltrict, and who sacrificed his own almost
lcertsin reelection in 1883 TO aid Harri-
lson, NAV support him this year. but u
Eso. il will simply be 10 the casting Of his
ballot for him. 1t is . significant fact
that his two sons, John w. White,
president OF the White National Bank.
and Edward &. White, manager Of his
fathers big general store. declare openly
that they will not vote for Harrison.
