SYMPATHY FOR THE PRESIDENT

SYMPATHY FOR THE PRESIDENT.
In the midst of heated campaign and
almost upon the eve of national election,
death has invaded the precincts of the
Presidents household and taken from it
the wife of his bosom. Without respect to
party, political differences and bitter feel
ings have been laid aside while the united
people as a nation does respect to the mem
DRY of the departed and joins in hearty
sympathy with the President in this, his
hour of domestic af1i ctioa.
Mrs. Harrison was faithful wife. an
affectionate mother and generally beloved
for her benevolent acts and gentle nature.
Her death is the second IN which Presl-
dent wife has died in the White House.
1t is strange coincidence that most of
the deaths that have occurred within it's
walls were of persons connected more or
less remotely, personally or politically with
the family of President Harrison.

Rev. Sam Small, who has returned home
to Atlanta, Georgia, from the West, to devote
his time to the Congressional campaign. in an
cal outlook in the West said: 1T is is the dull
lest campaign on record. L should say that
Cleveland has the advantage in the easily
felt atmospheric temper. Two men out Of
every three you talk with will most invaria-
land. Indeed there is we'll defined accept
ance Of the proposition that if Cleveland does
not get an electoral majority the election will
be thrown into the House of Representatives
and he will be elected there. All the reports
travellers ls to the far Western States agree
that Weaver will carry enough OF them to
defeat a choice by the Electoral College,

Minnesota Politics.

Nothing illustrates more forcible the won
derful change in political sentiment in the
Northwest tn IN the existing situation in Min.
nesota. If ny one had predicted at the last
presidential election that Minnesota would be
likely to go democratic at this he would have
been considered the champion hurmoist OF the
day. Texas did not seem more surely anchor
ed to democracy than Minnesota to Republi-
canism, and revolution in its faith appeared
almost as unlikely as complete alteration
of the States physical features. And yet this
political miracle has almost been accomplish
ed, and if the State is kept in the republican
column it will be by so small margin and
after so desperate fight as to be practically
equivalent to defeat. A change Of but 5000
votes will elect opposition candidates. and
prominent republicans frankly acknowledge
that they are uneasy and apprehensive.

sured fact. After that, to again arouse her
interest and to keep her mind from dwelling
too much on her own condition, the doctor adj
vised that the daily papers be read to her
The day before she left for Loon Lake there
were few who saw her who ever supposed that
she would return alive.
In appearance, Mrs. Harrison was type of
matrOnly beauty In figure she showed the
generosity of nature, and in mind natures
equal benefcence, expanded by training in
the requirements of liberal education,
drawn from the brOadest opportunities. A
lavish growth of hair, silvered with the
threads of a little over half century of life
and floating in curly waves over well-Shap-
ed head and ending in graceful coil, her
regular features and dark expressive eyes
formed picture of ripened womanhood.
She had voice softened by the instincts of
gentle nature and gift of conversation,
which, while animated, was thoughtful.
The tastes of Mrs. Harrison were in the di-
| rection of art. Her works in water colors
are the evidences of her gifts and application
to her favorite recreation.
| Mrs Harrison was by nature strongly do
mestic and shrank from notoriety These
traits were little, it at all, modified by her
residence in the White House and her proud
position as the first lady in the land. For her
friends she had always generous welcome,
but she Gid not relish the scrutiny Of the crit
ical and curious, although much of this she
was pelforce from her position to endure.
She was always equal to every social demand,
| and DV her WinninD manner and Svmnathatic
| utterances succeeded in making and retaining
an unusually large number of warm friend
ships. But the calls of society were with her
second in Importance to the demands and du-
ties of wife, mother and daughter, and it
was in the domestic sphere that she shone
with the brightest light.

AS if to make the election of Cleveland
sure beyond a political peradventure, there
is a general disposition on the part of the
Democrats and Weayerites throughout the
Northwest to fuse their tickets. In Ore
gon fusion has already been accomplished,
and In Nebraska and other quarters prog
ress is making to that end. Where fusion
has been accomplished the combined votes
of the parties based upon the last State
election, is much greater than that polled
by the Republicans, and is confidently ex-
pected TO defeat the Harrison electors.

Cleveland's majority over all, 46: plurality
over Harrison rs.
According to this esti nate the democratic
ticket can be elected wi hont the 10 votes of
Indiana. To give the vote of that State to
Harrison would only give him total of 1877,
while Cleveland wouli still have $50, or sew
Ell more than enough to elect. To take the So
votes Of New DIRK from the Cleveland col
,lmn and give them to Harrison would leave
the former 2O9 votes and give the latter POS.
This would throw the election into the
House OF Representatives.

they are disposed to claim everything. Fig
ures based on the claims they are making show
the blowing result:
