At the White House one day lately I

1t was tie day before Blaine resigned
1t was while Mrs. Harrison's sickness
kept him in fear and suspense with
little rest or sleep Surely here were
reasons to excuse him from the daily
group of curious sightseers Some 200
of US gathered in the great East room,
sitting or standing expectantly, AMI at
the precise hour of one, the door
opened, the president entered with two
attendants. and took his stand neor the
| door. The attendants beckoned the
visitors TO pass rapidly out, and as we
filled past him be shook hands with
everyone and spoke to no one. 1t was
over in three or four minutes. He
would not disappoint the casual visitors
that want TO see the ruler before they
go home, even under such t1i1ls and
aDxietIes as these.
He is remarkable for being able to
endure a political crisis, With all the
myriad bores of office seekers, the
numberless annoyances from the
ordiDates, the taunts and ISLANDERS of
his opponents, the responsibility Of
foreign affairs, all with the same tenn
per, good health. and undaunted firm
ness. He endures it so lightly and
easily that he is ready to assume it all
again for four long years. Where can
we find another man of such mental
fiber, such bodily strength, such easy
suavity
A young attendant told me how well
and active Mr. Harris he goes out

of eight or ten miles was only a fire.

danger of meeting some crank or Grim

young man said. ANY tramp or crank
that NEEDLES with him will wish he
had tackled sonnet ody else. He is
strong and active and keeps himself in
good training. He has all the best
apparatus for taking vigorous bodily |
exercise and he uses them faithfully. |
No one is going to hurt him unless by |

The more | think it over, the more
it seems that he is too good public |
servant to be turned out to grass Just |
now. He has pugnacitv enough to |
make us proud of him as chief defender
Of our national digaity. He carries all
those mental burdens whice break |
down many men, without a sign of |
WEAKNESS. There isn't one chance in |
thousand of electng his equal to that
office. Instead of voting for him as a
favor to MIR. Harrison, we 81 olld do
it as the highest favor we can give the /
country.
Harrison might save more money
practicing law or managing great rail-
road interests, but he prefers to give
his whole power and energy to his
country. There are plenty of weaker
men willing to try it; but he can do it.
His prompt defense of our nations |
interests abroad is equal to a squadron
of iron clads. He is a man of action
and not of procras,ination. He has no
cranky plans or new and untred
schemes to force upon TIE people.
There is no uncertainty in voting for
him. We know our man this time.
