the head Of the ticket. Henry WatteTson voices
when he saws that the President beyond

found Republican In the State who will not work

mado the choice. Blaine Is still one Of the great |
men OF the world, and his fame will never be for |
gotten His admirers, Of course. would Like TO see
him In the White House. but II must be admitted |
now that Harrison is the strongest man that could
have been placed ut the head Of the ticket. The

active worker. and the ticket selected means |
a splendid victory for the Republicans next fall |
No other leader than Harrison could have caused such
unity and harmony at present exists in the Re
