Perhaps no one learned the result of
the tremendous victory of Mckinley of
Ohio at the elections in that state last
week with deeper sorrow than Ben Har-
rison. 1t at once places Mckinley more
prominent as a candidate for president
on the republican ticket in 1896 than
any other man Of his party, and damp
ems the aspirations of Harrison that
much more. There can be no doubt that
Harrison would like 10 he renominated
He wants 10 be ''vindicated," and he

Cuniary consideration very much desires
his denomination. II is all up with them,
however. Under no considerations do

ing game chickens or some other equally
lucrative employment like Hays did
after he was retired.-Crawford

difficulty was settled in court Crisler

No death in the history of Goshen has
caused more genuine sorrow than the
demise of William A. Beane. He was
of a bright and cheerful disposition and
given to looking on the bright side of
everything. Everybody knew Billy
Beane and all will respect his memory.
Some time ago in conversation with the
writer, Mr. Beane said he had the night
before experienced a serious smothering

personality, il won admiration because
of its plain. hOmely diction and its hon

any subject it's editor espoused Billy
Beane away from the Goshen Democrat

separable, their existence through half
a century being so closely allied and
intermingled, yet the time has come
