his term of Office, stated his opinion
as being distinctly in favor of what
may be termed modified bimetallism,
and advocated such a policy as would
continue the use of silver in our cur
rency'' and at the same time provide
against the dangers to be dreaded
from the difference In the bullion
value of the gold and silver dollar"
The subject of reciprocity likewise
engaged the serious attention of Pres
ident Harrison and his advisers.
The disruption of friendly relations
with Chile as the result of the Bal
timore affair was the one threatening
incident in the foreign relations OF the
Harrison administration. Fortunately
no unhappy consequences ensued from
the complication.
The relations with Great Britain
during the Harrison administration
were not wholly satisfactory, owing
to complications growing o of the
Bering sea fisheries. These issues were
finally committed to arbitration
One thing for which General Harri-
son was criticized was the signing
of the Silver bill, which Cleveland af-
terward called Congress together to
repeal. 1t is known that President
Harrison earnestly besought his
friends in Congress not to force Kim
to swallow the bitter dose, and he
ever went so far as to threaten a veto.
1t was, however, so patched up Is to
receive his signature. This was pre-
sented as an argument against his re-
election in the campaign OF 1892
Another influence untoward for
General Harrison vas that the RepuD-
lican National Convention OF 1897.
which renominated him, vas to a great
extent regarded as
An Offce-HoIders' Convention.
Three days before the assembling Of
the Republican National Convention
at Minneapolis. in June, 1892. James
G. Blaine resigned the post of Secra-
tary of State in order to compete with
his chief for the presidential nomina-
ton. The contest in the convention
was mainly between the supporters of
these two aspirants, and on the first
ballot Harrison was re-nominated, re-
ceiving 535 votes. or a clear majority
Of 166 over all competitors. His plursl-
ity over Blaine, who received 1Sz votes,
was 353. Mckinley also received 1Sz
votes. and 5 we're scattering. Whifelaw

of a shipping combine under the pro-

come in handy in his plan of world

not be obtained from the Sherman
management. That Mr.. News services
were appreciated was shown in the lit

position In his Cabinet except that OF
Secretary Of State, which had been
pre-empted by Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Har-
rison preferred the career opened for
him in the Senate, and declined. He
served his whole term in the Senate
and was then succeeded by Judge Da-
vid Turpie, q Democrat.
There were no memorable or excit-
ing scenes that
Mr.. Harrison figured in
during his service in the upper House
of Congress. Notwithstanding this, he
made a record to which his admirers
always point with pride.
General Harrison went out Of the
Senate March 4. 1887. Immediately
John C. New, the proprietor of the In
~dianapolis journal, and Others Of his
particular admirers went to work to
secure him the Presidential nomina-
ton in 1888. In June of that year.
when the Republican National Conven-
ton convened at Chicago. MI. New ap-
peared at the head OF the Indiana dele
cation claiming from the moment he
landed in Chicago that General Harri-
son would be nominated. His utter
ances were at first considered as mere
boasts and as amounting to little. As
it turned out afterward the personality
of General Harrison had made much
more impression upon the delegates
than was dreamed of. When Blaine
was out of the field the most promi-
nent candidate was John Sherman. Mr..
Sherman had every reason to expect
that nomination and it is an absolute
fact his disappointment almost broke
his heart, and he was never the same
man after the New York delegation, by
it's maneuvering, secured the nomlna-
ton of General Harrison. 1t has al

DIsCIPLINING THE RING CROWD.
The impotent rage of the d~iscreditet

In lllpOtOAS NSN
and deposed city ring manifested
through its constituencies organ, is
rapidly becoming absurd. The beaten
ringsters have been ranting and
ing at a great rate about what they
were going to do to turn the tables on
the people who nave voted them OFT
of office, but they haven't done any
thing to date but rage and threaten
and then perforce submit and allow
the city's legislature to continue in the
legal and orderly way with the public
business.
Their revolutionary efforts to hold
up Council and its affairs in order that
they might hold on to the city offices
and the per diem a little longer hare
been d~iscreditable and humiliating to
the city and one OF the foulest blots on
a long and rotten record now happily
terminated.
Fortunately the people elected a ma
jority of men with plenty of backbone
to stand up for their rights and pre-
serve those of the public and the re-
suit has been eminently satisfactory to
honest citizens with the welfare of the
city at heart entirely regardless of
party. In fact a majority of Republic
cans vie with Democrats in congratu-
lating themselves and the city on the
final ousting of the disgraceful ring,
which represented but a small faction
of the Republican party, ard the sub
%stitutiOn of a no1-rartisan. or, rather,
a bipartisan administration of city
offices, which will effectually prevent
ring rule at least during the present
regime.
The city is to be congratulated upon
the vigorous measures usel in putting
a quietus on the ring and it's revolu-
tionary and obstructive tactics and if
those selfish p%artisans, who are not for
the people o even for their party but
for themselves alone, know what is
best for them they will accept the stu
alton with as good a grace as they can
command and make no further effort
to Obstruct the city's business. They
have about exhausted the public pa
tience.

PRESIDENT AND WARRIOR


tfnctfOn In Diverse Fields.
BENJAMIN Harrison. twenty-third
President of the United States, came
of a historic line.
Major General Harrison, an English
ancestor, bore arms with Oliver C.rom-
well and rose with him to prominence
in the revolution. It fell to his lot to
sign the death warrant of Charles l,
and after the Restoration he paid the
penalty for this act, being executed on
October 10, 1860.
The first descendant of Cromwell's
general who appears in American his
tory was Benjamin Harrison, q mem
Der of the Virginia House of BurgesseS,
later a delegate to the Colonial Con-
gress, a signer of the Declaration of
independence, three times Governor of
Virginia and a member of the conven-
ton that ratified the Constitution.
His son was Gen. William Henry
Harrison, whose honorable career as a
soldier and statesman eliminated in
his election to the Presidency in 1910,
to be followed by his death in the
White House one month after his in
auguration.
John Scott Harrison, a son of VIII
liam Henry Harrison, was the father of
Benjamin Harrison, and was a native
OF Indiana. He was twice in Congress
as a Democrat.
The Future President,
Benjamin Harrison, was born at North
Bend, Ohio, in his g~ran0iather's house,
on August 20, 1888. Physically and
mentally vigorous, he early manifested
a desire to begin an active and indie
pendent career. At 1G he entered
Miami University, at Oxford. Ohio, and
