popular heart to overlook its shortcomings
in any respect. II is because the nation
wants and honors fidelity and wisdom in
the everyday duties of peace that the
President has been renominated. At once

publican ideas, Benjamin Harrison will
be asked to serve again because he has
served well, and the people will trust him
again because he has been found worthy
OF trust.

convention was a horde of Federal office
holders, led by Federal office holders, and
inspired with the zeal born of benefits re-
