TuE letter of President Harrison
is campaign document Nobody will
dispute that While it Is the aecep-
lance of a partisan nomination it might
have been less partisan in tone and more
dignihed in statement While General
Harrison is the nominee Of the. Republi.
can party he is still the President of the
whole country, and he sacrifices his dig
nifty by referring to majority of tho
voters and a majority OF tho white people
Of the country as being in league
with the British free traders to destroy
the industries of this country 10 is not
likely that Candidate Harrison or any
person in his party has any purer patri.
otism than Cleveland and many men IN
his party have shown. In fact General
Harrison has made and Is still making
many very vulgar exhibitions of the
sentiments which actuate his conduct.
His letter is one Of them. 1t undertakes
TO lecture and soold the members Of a
great political party who are as
much entitled to courtesy and fair treat
mont as any people in the country The
fact that these people, a majority of the
white people Of the country, differ from
candidate and President Harrison is not
so much discredit TO them as to him.
It is by no means an indication that they
are mistaken or disloyal in their views
upon the political questions Of the day,
but rather an indication that, being one
Of the minority of the intelligent white
people Of the country, he is mistaken OF
vulgarly selfish.
