General Bepismin Harris, a former
President of the United States, died
at his home in Indianapolis after q
long Inconsistencies on 4th day of
March. His death was painless one
which was marked by q single gasp
for breath as the spark of life flicker
ed and then went out. His reputa-
ton was that of a gerat statesman, a
gallant soldier pure citizen, spot
less politician and 9 jealous Christ
ian. The nation mourns over the
death of beloved son and his
funeral was simply the turning
out of the whole city, with many
distinguished mourrers from other
localities, to pay the last sad rites
of respect to the memory Of lin
who in life they honored and revered.
He has gone the way of all flesh and
his mortal remains now rest peace
fully and silently in the beautiful city
of the dead.

against Tlllman, and hence, his de-
nuuciation of Senator McLaurin foi
carrying this doctrine into @tf-c'
comes with bad grace from Mr., Con
z.les, to say the least of it.
But is Mr.. McLaurin a traitor to
his party? Has he in the least be-
trayed the confidence of his consti
tuency, and has he gone back on the
platform upon which he was elected?
We submit that be is not and has
not. He is a legitimate offspring OF
the new school of Southern Democ-
racy which has for its object the up
building of the manufacturing, agri,
cultural and industrial interests OF
the New South, and he stands
pledged to the Democratic voters OF
this State to support any and all meas
ures tending toward fostering and
protecting these industries. On this
promise and on these very issues
be was called from the Lower House
to assume graver and more import
ant duties in the Upper House OF
Congress. he made his canvass for
the Senate on clearly defined pro-
tective tariff, and incidentally ship
subsidy, platform, and on that plat
form, after his record had been at
tackled from one end of the State
to the other by shrewd politicians,
was triumphantly nominated in a
Democratic primary, defeating his
three strong opponents in the first
round. He has stood squarely and
uucompromisingly on that platform
from that day until now and his
every vote has been consistent and in
perfect harmony with that platform.
In no instance has he proven
traitor and under no circumstance has
he betrayed his constituents. His
course in the Senate has been manly,
upright and consistent with his cam
paign promises.
In conclusion We would respect
fully remind those who are hugging
the delusion to their breast that Mr..
McLaurin is dead duck in the polit-
ical arena, that they will surely rea-
lize, if they are alive, that the re-
suit of the Democratic primary will
reavel the surprise fact that he is a
pretty lively corpse.
