PRESIDENT HARRISON VEHEMENT

try OF Ours has ex-President Harrison
delivered himself with such vehemence
and emphasis as he has in the one in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. The Pres

of Alr. Cleveland's acts. and ceHsuring
ambassadors for making political
speeches, he talks of presidential appoint
ments in a most feeling and an almost
pathetic way. Upon the latter theme, in
giving Endorsement 10 civil service re-
form. he says: in spite Of all the diff
ficUlties that beset the question OF re-
movals and appointments Il must b con-
coded that much progress in the direction
OF a betterment Of the service has been
made. The civil service rules have re-
moved a large number Of minor Offices Ia
the departments al Wash ugton. and IN
the postal and other services from the
scramble OF politics, and have given the
president, the cabinet officers and the
members Of congress great relief; but j.
still remains true that Ia the power OF APP
polntment 10 office the president finds the
most exactlng, unrelenting and d.stracting
Of his duties. In the nature Of things be

Tillman in Kentucky.

Lexington, KY, April 11.-sen-
a.tor Tillman's opening speech in
the free silver Presidential CAM
paign drew to Lexington to-day
the leading silver men of central
Kentucky. He was given an en-
thasiastic reception when he ap-
peared at the auditorium this af-
ternoon. lie took a drive about
the city early in the day with To-
cal silver leaders and had a rush
of callers later on.
Senator Tillman was introduced
to an audience Of fully thousand
people at 8 o'clock by Rev. Mr..
Boiling. He held the close atten-
ton of the audience for two hours.
On the stage were many of Ken
tacky's prominent politicians. He
denounced the Cleveland and Car
Isle financial policy bitterly, and
then went after the press in the
most vigorous language, saying
among other things that the press
Of the country had been subsidis-
ed by the money powers of the
country.
He took up Carlisle's FIVE prop
ositions as enunciated in his
speech at Memphis last year, and
argued that they were all wrong.
He claimed that the only reason
why silver was inferior to gold as
a. standard of value was because it
was made inferior by the laws of
Congress.
His points were wildly cheered
by the audience which seemed to
he in sympathy with his views.
Mr.. Tillman predicted that the
next national Democratic conven-
tion would be controlled by the
free silver wing of the Democratic
party.
