A FAMOUS EULOGY.

Of all the eulogies in literature
there are none more beautiful than
the following upon Robert E. Lee.
Itfell from the silver tongue of that
eloquent Georgian, Senator Ben II.
Hill, and is said to have been ex-
tempore.
when the future historian comes
to survey the character of Lee, he
will find it rising like huge noun
tain above the undulating plain of
humanity and he will have to lift
his eyes high toward heaven to
catch its summit. He possessed
every virtue of the other great
commanders without their vices.
He was foe without hate, a friend
without treachery, a soldier with
cruelty, and a victim without MUIR
muring. He was a public officer
without vices; a private citizen
without wrong, neighbor with
out reproach, a Christian without
hypocrisy, and a man without guilt.
He is Caesar without ambition,
Frederick without his selfishness,
and Washington without his re-
ward. He was as obedient to au-
thority as a servant, and as royal in
authority as true king. He was
gentle as a woman in life, pure and
modest as a virgin in thought,
watchful as Roman vestal in du-
ty, submissive to law as Socrates,
and grand in battle as Achilles.

government as it ever had, and il
there are any Democratic doubters
of his triumphant election they are
not to be found in Washington. Oh
course there are Democrats who
individually preferred and worked
for some other candidate = Demo-
Gratis have never believed in the
suppression of individual opinions,
but now that the candidate has been
selected by the convention they
propose to work for his election
just as they would have expected
every other good Democrat to have
done for their personal choice had
the convention in its wisdom seen
fit to have nominated him instead
of Mr.. Cleveland.
The result of the convention has
been decidedly disappointing to
the Republicans, who had been
taken possession of by the idea
that it was going to rival the Min
neapolis affair in wrangling and in
the number of sore heads left.
They had also taken up the idea
that Cleveland, the man of all
others whom they fear the most,
would not be nominated. The
harmony attending the proceedings
of the convention, as well as the
man nominated, has carried con-
sternation into the Republican
ranks, which nad been in shaky
condition ever since Harrison was
forced upon them by the brigade
of office-holders. So certain are
some of the Democratic Congress
men that Cleveland will be elected
that they are already specializing
on the membership of his cabinet.
Ii the Republican Senators had
displayed the same industry in
dealing with the appropriations
bills earlier in the session that they
are now displaying, Congress would
not now be in session, and if they
will keep it up for a while and
show a disposition to be reasonable
in dealing with amendments to
which the House. has disagreed or
may disagree to, Congress will be
ready to adjourn in about four
weeks. This the Republican Sem
ators have promised to do.
The eloquent speech of Repre-
sentative Wilson, of West Virginia,
upon taking the gavel rs perma-
nent chairman of the Chicago con-
vention, may have surprised many
of the delegates, but he has long
been regarded here as one of the
ablest of the younger Democrats in
Congress. He is probably one of
the youngest men who ever presi-
ded over national convention, as
permanent chairman, and, mark
the prediction, he is one of the
coming leaders of the Democratic
party. He obtained his first ma
tional recognition when he made
the tour of the Northwestern
States in behalf of the National
Association of Democratic clubs.
Mr.. Harrison is finding it difficult
to find a man whom he thinks
large enough that is willing to ac-
cept the craftsmanship of the Re-
publican national committee. The
place has been rendered to half a
dozen men, including Gen. Horace
Porter and Chauncey NJ. Depew,
of New York, but they have de-
clined the honor. A Republican
Senator was asked why these gen.
tlemen declined. "Humph," he re-
piled, "they remember how Harris
on treated Quay, who was chairman
of the national committee during
the last campaign" Mr.. Clarkson
would be willing to serve, but Mr..
Harrison doesn't trust him fully

sistent and vigorous, compelling respect

a MAN WHO WEARS.
harrison Never Falls Below the stand
ard In Statesmanship.


ard In Statesmanship.
1t is easy to say that Harrison is a
man whose personality does not excite
enthusiasm. He is not hurrah candi-
date, in other words. There is nothing
picturesque and sensational about him,
and men are not in the habit of speaking
of him IL fervent and exaggerated
terms. But he is a man who wears,
and who never falls below public expec-
tation in tests of practical craftsmanship
and unselfish devotion to the public in
terests 1t may be misfortune for
him that he does not have the faculty of
making himself familiar with all kinds
OF people, but certainly it must be ac-
knowledged that he is always courteous
and considerate, and is not that enough
in man occupying position of sur
passing dignity and Importance?
He does not slop over in the way of
personal compliment and fattery, but
he does observe the rules of civility and
propriety. His disposition is not of that
ELUSIVE order which brings men cheap
popularity, but he bears himself always
like good tempered and self respecting
gentleman. The country has never had
cause to be ashamed of him. He is
equal to any emergency of his gneat of
flee, and his private character is entirely
irreproachable. Surely man of whom
so many creditable things can be said
may be forgiven for occasional lack of
warmth in his intercourse with visiting
politicians and officeseekers
The people Of the United States do
not demand that a candidate for pres
ident shall be a man Of the hail fellow
well-met variety. They do not estimate
him by his capacity for making himself
agreeable under all circumstances, but
according to his qualifications for the
duties to be performed and the respon-
sibilities to be assumed. It does not
matter whether he is excessively solicit
GUS to please everybody or not so long
as he is known to be a man of satisfac-
tory ability and unquestionable integ-
rity.
Harrison is that kind Of q man. He
has been president for over three years
and the people have become well &C
quainted with him in every respect.
They know that his course has been con-
scientious and patriotic, and that no
serious fault can be found with any Of
his proceedings. Such a record counts
for more than the reputation of being
boon companion and a magnetic hand
shaker. When there is man to be Sc
lected for a difficult and laborious task
we do not ask how he receives callers,
but what his fitness is for substantial
and useful work.
That is the proper way to look at Har-
rison, and that is the way in which the
American people will regard him as
candidate for reelection. They will
not vote against him because he has
failed to be as cordial to some individ-
uals as he might have been. He has
made careful, honest and faithful pres
ident, and that is the point of real i'm
portance. There is no risk to be taken
in retaining him. He has demonstrated
his ability to meet all the requirements
of the place, and that is the best guar
antee of successful service in the future,
as we'll as the best claim to reward from
an appreciative and grateful country
