A Winning Ticket +!
HARRISON AND REID NOMIN-
ATED AT MINNEAPOLIS.

Again has President Harl son ueNelOpou
strength with the people. In
every instance in which this quiet, unob-
trusive man has been placed before the
public, in whatever capacity, he has prov
eu himself equal to the emergency, ami
shown strength, fitness and ability togeth
er with a popularity with the people that
surprised his competitors.
Benjamin Harrison's popularity has not
waned. 1t was only the great love and
sympathy of the people for that other
grand and mighty statesman, James T..
Blaine, that made it seem for time that
Sir. Harrison would not be the choice OF
the Minneapolis convention. We believe
that had Blaine been nominated he would
have b2en elected, but, in view of the wise
and able administration given MS by Pres
ident Harrison, we believe that he is the
strongest man that could have been NOM
mated. He has made no mistakes; and
the skill with which he has managed the
many knotty questions which have come
before him for solution has proven him an
emiuently proper man to whom to entrust
the varied and important interests OF ouT
nation. Tie has proven himself an orator
and q statesman of the highest order, and
, by his public utterances, and conservative
course, has gained the respect and COM
mendation Of all reasonable meh of Wbat-
ever party.
The policy of protection to American
industries aud labor. as set forth in the
platform adopted by the Minneapolis con-
vention, is stronger with the people TO-
day than it was four years ago. Reel
procity is a measure that originated with
the present administration Is in all re-
spects a republican measure, the offspring
of protection. and has the approval OF q
vast majority of the people of this coun-
i try, and we believe the President Will be
re elected because he is worthy expo
nent of the principles and policy OF the
Repu blcan party, aud because the basil
ness men of the country have confidence
in him. Thousands who opposed him four
years ago will support him now.
The nomination of Whltelaw Reid for
the Presidency gives entire satisfac-
ton to the party, and will add strength
to the ticket. His eminence in the pro-
fes ion of journalism makes an account OF
his work unnecessary here. His remark
able success while occupying the position
of Minister to France called forth the
plaudits of the best diplomats of Europe.
