In a speech delivered in indianapolis on
Saturday night last General Harrison de-
clared that if any employer should attempt
elective franchise the injured party should
assert his manhood and his right to vote
as he may please; and Mr.. Harrison
pledged himself as a citizen and lawyer
to defend any workingman in the exercise
of this right. This is the manly answer to
anites which under ordinary circumstances
would be stified by it, But the BryanitCs
will doubtless persist in their false cry as
an introduction explanation of the defeat
which they know by instinct is impending.
