GEN. HARRISON TALKS
VIEWS ON THE ISSUES IN THE MI
NICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
TrusIer's Election VIII Mean a Busf-
ness Administration-sP Re-
sentiment should he Set Aside.

The night ex-President Harrison recently
arrived home from the East he was ques-
toned by reporters at the Union Station as
TO what he thought of the municipal cam
paign. General Harrison had been away
from the city for quite while and he re-
piled that he was not we'll informed as to
the local campaign. To Journal reporter
who questioned him he said he might an

The ex-President was seen yesterday at

The idea that a Mayor or chief Of police
Is at liberty TO permit any law or ordi-
nance to be violated is monstrous. We
choose executive officers to enforce laws
and not to repeal or suspend them at
their pleasure-their oath is So 1t is sub
social order and of the peace of our COM
munities to allow executive officers to
choose what laws they will enforce. 1t is
not at all a question whether / like the
law or whether the officer likes the law.
What sort of a condition OF society would
we have if no man obeyed the law and
no officer enforced it unless he liked it?
Such questions are for the Legislature
and the Council. To find fault with an
officer for enforcing the law Is to repudiate
system OF government-and TO vote
against candidate because he IS pledged
to enforce the laws is to associate oneself
with lawbreakers."

The sunday Excursions.

Democrats are using as an argument
against Mr.. Trusler the claim that the
policy OF the present administration in
closing saloons on Sunday has caused many
people to leave this city on cheap Sun
day excursions. SO as to go some place
where beer could be bought. 1t is claimed
by the Democrats that many business men
will vote against Trusler on that account
They say the money spent in railroad fare
and in the other cities is lost to the bus
mess of this city. A close inquiry has failed
to find any Republican business man who
mas determined TO vote against Mr.. Trusler
for this reason.
On the other hand they all disclaimed
any belief in the theory that the enforce
ment of the Sunday laws had any effect
on the number of people that leave the
city on cheap excursions. 1t was pointed
out that for years past thousands of peo-
pie have taken advantage of these excur-
sions merely to crafty the curiosity that
most people have to see other places. An
that people do not go ON these trips mere
ly to get to a town where liquor can be
bought on Sunday is the fact that there
has been scarcely a Sunday this season
that several hundred or a thousand peo-
pie did not to this city on these
cheap excursions. Last Sunday there was
one from Cincinnati for 81 for the round
trip. This rate was sufficient inducement
TO draw a large crowd that did not come
day the same thing will be true. The same
rate will be in effect and it is expected
that a large crowd of Cincinnati people
will be in the city.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
The First Receipt Received by the City Comp troller Insufficient to Convict Pitts
 burg's City Attorney

Pittsburg, Oct.30.-The action yester- day of the councils committees of in auiry requesting that citizens holding re- ceipts for money paid into the office of the city attorney during the past decade is bearing odious fruit The very first receipt received by the city comptroller this morning for money paid on com promised lien oves damaging piece of evidence. Judge Thompson of Allegheny today handed the comptroller receipts for $81S paid into the city attorneys office August 3, 1886. To test this plan Comp troller Gourley also traced the amount through City Attorney Morelands books, which show that the amount was with held from the city treasurer's office for two years and six months. At the per cent rate of interest which the banks al- lowed on w. c. Moreland's account this sum would in that time have earned for the city attorney or his assistant At torney House, $61.40 interest. It is con- fidently expected that almost every re- ceipt brought in by citizens will estab- lish such facts as the above. Today City Attorney Burfeigh stated that he would bring suit on the First National, Trades men and Allegheny National banks that paid into the city money for Mr. House. Attorney Burleigh will sue for the money paid to House. also for damages. and will further sue for interest at the rate of per cent for the length of time that House was drawing 212 or 3 per cent from the banks.

Observer Dunne,s Predictions.

MT L. Dunne. Montgomerys expert weather prognosticator. gives out the fol lowing predictions for November:
 There will be sudden and rapid changes in November. Better prepare for the same. The month will open up with rain, followed by fair and warming up, the thermometer in Montgomery reaching 79 degrees about the 7th: rain on the 9th and Sth: on the heels of this storm period there will be decided fall in temperature to about 38 degrees in this city about the 9th. The 11th will be warmer. with rain the 18th and 18th, with the thermometers in the 70s; rain 18th and Fist. with high est temperature for the month, about 80 degrees about the 20th.
 This storm breeding wave, encountering a polar current over Nebraska and the Dakotas will bring on severe storm period of rain and snow over northern states. followed by the severest cold wave of the month and reaching as far south as Jacksonville, Fla, and sending ther- mometers in Montgomery down to about 29 degrees about the 24th preceded by rain the 22d and 23d, warming up and raining on the 26th and 18th. The month ly mean temperature will be about 54 degrees. and the monthly rainfall about AS inches. This indicates a colder No- vember than the average, with a greater amount of rainfall, promising good stages of water in the rivers.
 MT. Dunne's predictions for October were verified to the letter.
