HARRISON A SELF MADE MAN.
Ho Carved Out II U Oivn Fortuno ivitb
Hard Knocks.
The Democratic partisans have always,
in paying attention to IJenjamin Harrison,
whoso ability and industry have given
him high place irrespective of his political
career, sought to put on tho public mind
the impression that he was an aristocrat,
and they have been guilty of a great deal
of vulgar gabble about his "kid gloves"
and his unsympathetic maneuvers, and
all that sort of vague and silly thing.
And many have innocently supposed, as
Harrison is an illustrious name, that it
was associated with great material re
sources. Tho truth is tho Harrisons were
impoverished by their public services.
Their honor and fame did not rise from
the condition of wealth, and were not as
sociated with it.
Ben Harrison when a littlo boy was of
Intelligence and steadfast resolution in
applying himself to his studies and of
such manliness that ho wa3 looked upon
as destined to restore tho glory of tho old
name. His schoolmates had this in mind
about him forty years ago.
Ho was perfectly self possessed with
regard to his celebrity as the grandson of
President Harrison, never referred to the
fact himself or led up to tho reference by
others, and when tho subject camo up
itself, as by the declamation of a passage
from the writings of his grandfather m
tho school books by a companion, that
which ho would say" was modest and be
coming. A few years later his friends thought
ho had atouch of tho feeling expressed
once by the late Charles Francis Adams
the sense of tho disadvantage of a famous
name. As tho sou of a president, and the
grandson of a president, Adams felt that
ho had not fair play for his inherent ca
pacity. Ben Harrison, tho grandson of a
president, aud great grandson of a signer
of the Declaration of Independence, and
at tho same time a young man with his
own living to make, did not always find
tho glorious past a help in the hand-to-hand
contact with tho present.
But ho was stout hearted and acquired
fixed habits of hard work, and each year
of his professional labors in Indiana his
reputation as a clear sighted, conscienti
ous, high spirited and capable lawyer
grew, and ho would havo been a rich man
before this if ho had kept out of politics.
But he could not quite do that. It was in
his blood to go into public life, and his
brains put him into the high place.
Harrison is a man who is, and has always
been, simple in his dress and tastes,
cordial in manners not effusive and
gushing, but just and sincere telling the
truth when ho said: "I am glad to see
you," speaking the commonplaces of po
liteness in a tone that has made them
something more than mere conventional
phrases.
Tho Republican candidate is not only a
man of most honorablo military record
and distinction as a statesman, but ho
adds to that which is inspiring in an il
lustrious ancestry, tho confirmation of
manhood in tho experience of self made
good fortune. Cincinnati Commercial

HOW TO WIN THIS YEAR.
Edacatloa oa the IVeadlng Israe Prefer
able to XoUo and Hurraa.
The Republicans have decided for -what
to fight and for whom; How to fight
they have not yet considered. But the
methods to bo adopted In tho coming
campaign may determine the result. A
hurrah campaign sometimes win. This
year the Republican party needs to de
pend upon facts and reasons. There
must be argument at tho beginning, ar
gument in the middle and argument at
tlm And at !" mrtfrp if the right is
to prevalL "Tippecanoe and: Tariff too"
has more meaning in it than Tippecanoe
aud Tyler too", only the voters need to
know what tho tariff means, what it does
for thin and what a Democratic victory
would Involve.
Tho one danger this year is that there
will be too much reliance upon enthusi
asm, brass bands, torches and unlimited
shouting. The west will go wild with
excitement. Political managers who
havo been accustomed to appeal to popu
lar instincts and loval sentiments, instead
of well fortified beliefs on economic and
Industrial questions, will be constantly
tempted to utilize the growing enthusi
asm as the readiest weapon aud to neglect
the dry duty of public education. Let tho
Republican managers take warning early
that this would bo a fatal mistake. A
great many thousand voters aro going to
bo shifted this year from one party to the
thcr on account of issues which have not
been as sharply presented hitherto. It
rests with the Republican party to deter
mine whether tho shifting shall turn for
or against its candidates.
Living under a protective tariff for
twenty-seven years, tho present genera
tion of voters has never closely consfdered
tho nature or workings of that tariff.
Habit has led many to rely upon the
growth and prosperity ofthe nation as a
fundamental fact of nature, as certain as
tho procession of the seasons, and as in
dependent of political campaigns.
Others, again, have heard for a genera
tion that "war taxes" were retained be
yond the necessity or them, and have
vaguely accepted tno notion that tho pro
tective tariff was such a tax and should
bo reduced. Others, still, brought up to
believe in protection, have found their de
sires growing faster than their vages,
aud havo listened to demagogue who
have told them that cheaper things could
bo had if the "monopoly tariff" could be
cut down. Others, still, have heard that
their industries would prosper with free
raw materials, and that a genuine protec
tion would give them cheaper materials,
cheaper food and clothing and wider
foreign markets.
For the first time in more than forty
years the Democratic party has set Itself
to appeal to the judgment of voters. It
Is not altogether honest in stating the
issue. The changes which it advocates in
New York as essentially protective are
precisely the changes which it advocates
in Kentucky as essential steps toward
free trade. Voters who see the contra
diction aro appeased with the pretense
that Sir. Garfield and other Republicans
have favored protection only as the short
road to freo trade, and that the time has
como to take another step on that road.
It will not do to treat these specious ar
guments with contempt. The number of
voters who may be leu astray by them, if
they are not met by solid facts and sound
ieaoning. Is very large.
The Republican party is perfectly able
to justify its past policy, its present plat
form and Its plans for the future. It has
behind it a record of Industrial progress
such as no other nation has over achieved,
and such as this nation has never achieved
under any other policy. It can crush and
bury all opposition if it takes care to
bring tho facts of recent history to bear
upon tho minds of voters. But it cannot
convince thoso minds by shouting, by
brass bands or by torchlight processions.
Tho voters need Information, and the
danger is that managers will offer them
enthusiasm instead. There are needed
this year millions of tracts, millions of
effective speeches crowded with facts,
millions of school district meetings at
which voters may bo educated. The truth
will win, if men take the trouble to pro
sent the truth. But the truth will not
win if it gets expression only in tho flare
of torches antLthe blare of trumpets.
New York Tribune.
The Battle Ground or 1888.
The state of Now York is once more to
become tho battlo ground of a presiden
tial canvass, and again tho Democracy
counts upon defection in tho ranks of Its
foes, as in 18-14 and 1884, to bring it to
victory. It realizes that its prospects of
winning aro unfavorable, and that de
feat, as ovenvhelming as It Is deserved,
is certain to come if tho ranks of its oppo
nents remain unbroken. Bourbon jour
nalists and Bourbon stump speakers may
talk gayly and confidently of the chances
of the party, but tho wiser and more
thoughtful members are aware that if the
Republican lines stand firm the Democ
racy is doomed to disaster in the coming
election.
There are tho best of reasons for the
belief that the diversion from tho ranks
of the Republicans in New York which
elected Cleveland In 1884 cannot be re
peated this year. Most of the independ
ent Republicans who, repelled by Blaine's
candidacy and deluded by Cleveland's re
form promises, voted the Democratic
ticket four years ago are back in the old
fold again.
Nor is there the slightest probability
that a defection like that which put the
foes of the Democracy in tho minority in
New York forty-four years ago can occur
this year. A hasty utterance of Henry
Clay, "the Whig candidate in that year,
made in a private letter which eventually
found its way into print, diverted enough
Whig votes in New York to tho Liberty
party to give that state to the Democrats
and make James K. Polk president. These
bolters, unaware, however, at tho trne of
tho ftdl consequence of their acts n ac
count of a partial disagreement wi u their
standard bearer on a question of govern
mental policy placed in power a party
which they had combated during all
their manhood years, and to which they
wero diametrically and unalterably hos
tile on every issue of national concern.
The regret at their folly which these in
dividuals subsequently carried with them
to their dying day did not blot out the
record which they had enabled the slave
power to make, but It prevented any sub
sequent Whig bolt whil6 that party re
mained a national organization. Their
compatriots throughout the country trust
that the New York Republicans will get
out every Republican vote in tho state for
tho ticket this year. New York Press.

THE TRUTH OF A STORY.
Gem. Harrison's Successful Intercession
for Imprisoned Strikers.
An Indianapolis special to The New York
Tribune gives tho real truth of a much
mooted story concerning Gen. Harrison,
as follows:
The editor of The Sentinel assails Gen.
Harrison because he offered his services
in response to a call Issued by Governor
Williams (Democrat) for volunteer militia
to protect property in Indianapolis when
the strike of the railroad engineers, brake
men and switchmen was in progress in
1877. Tho strikers took possession of tho
Union depot and would permit n6ne but
-mall trains to depart. Mayor Cavln, not
having sufficient policemen to protect tho
property In case of an outbreak of mob
violence, appealed to tho Union veterans
and other patriotic citizens to aid tho
authorities. A largo public meotiug
was held. Nearly every leading citi
zen of Indianapolis was present. A
committco of public safety, composed
of ouo member from each ward, was
appointed. One of the most conspicuous
members of this committee was United
States Senator Joseph E. McDonald. Tho
movement was not in any sense partisan.
Partisanship was lost sight of in the com
mon peril of tho community. The' com
mltteo of safety choso tho following to
confer with a committee of the strikers:
Franklin Landers, afterwards tho Demo
cratic candidate for governor; Benjamin
Harrison, Albert G. Porter. Dr P. II.
Jameson, Hiram B. McCuno, Dr. W. C.
Thompson, Governor Williams, ex-Governor
Parker, Mayor Cavin, Col. B. C.
Shaw, T. D. Kingan, John R. Elder, Gen.
T. A. Morris, Gen. R. S.Foster and A. T
Sinker. Efforts at mediation having failed,
a meeting of leading citizens was held
which recommended that a committee of
safety to act with tho mayor 1ms appointed
a3 follows: Joseph E. McDonald, Gen.
Benjamin Harrison, the Hon. Conrad
Baker, Gen. John Love (a Democrat), Gen.
T. A. Morris, Gen. Daniel McCaulcy and
Gen. W. Q. Greshain. The Democratic
governor's proclamation shows by its tone
the peril of the state and tho city. It
shows also why such veterans of tho war
of the rebellion as Gen. Harrison and Gen
Gresham came forward and re-enlisted a
soldiers of the state to protect the
property of its citizens from de.s
ruction. When, a few days after
'wards, the strike ended. Gen. UariNo:
exerted himself to obtain merciful t;iat
ment for the strikers. Some 200 had b ii
arrested for interfering with the op: i i
tiou of tho Ohio and Mississippi raiiro...
They had been sentenced to ninety da;,
imprisonment, when Gen. Harrison ashtt
for their release, saying that thoobjt
prosecuting them hud ph.inly Iven t
show them that tlicy must obey the !.i.
like other citizens He uas con lid :.'
that they would bo law abiding citi.ini.--in
the future if they weio reliMset!
Judge Drummond thereupon ivleaM-1
them. Many strikers, while passing out
of tho court room, shook hands with (ten
Harrison and thanked him for his efioi Is
in their behalf.

mally notified him of his nomination for
the presidency. Gen. Harrison accepted
as follows:
"Mw. Chaiiiman and Gentlemrn of

.safely confided to my caro is an honor
of which I am deeply sensible and
for which I am very gratef uL I do not

that tho convention found in me any pre

Chairman Estee and a part of the com
mittee visited ljvi P. Morton at his tem
porary country home, near Rhinebcck, on
July 7. and formally notified him of his
nomination for vice president. Following
is Mr. Morton's speech of acceptance:
".Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tho
Committee: 1 am profoundly sensible of
tho high honor which has been conferred
upon me by the national Republican con
vention recently in session at Chicago,
and thank you, gentlemen, for tha
courteous and complimentary terms -in

a largo degree tho business interests of
all those ever growing and wider spread
ing communities of varied interests aud

Republican party to foster and protect.
Tho platform so wisely adopted at Chi
cago has this mission boldly in view, and
by its enunciation of theso principles
makes tho issue clear and distinct.
"I accept the position tendered by this

communication to that effect."
Gen. Harrison and the Irish.
Irish-American citizens hold in grateful
remembranco the utterances of Gen.
Harrison in behalf of oppressed Ireland.
In public speech and in privato conversa
tion ho has repeatedly expressed his sym
pathy with tho causo to which Parnell
and Gladstone aro devoting their lives,
and wherever word of his in behalf of
those struggling millions has been called
for ho has been prompt to respond. Tho
source of this sympathy is not hard to
find. It 13 a part of tho same feeling that
led him to keep secret tho whereabouts of
tho fugitive slave whfcn a boy; tho
samo that caused him, later, to leave
his wife aud babies and go to tho de
fense of his country; tho samo that
has drawn out his strong denunciations
of tho outrages upon southern negroes
it is the love of freedom for all men. The
right to life, liberty and tho pursuit of
happiness belongs, in his creed, to all
men; and wherever. In tho course of his
life, ho has been ablo by word or deed to
assist this consummation ho has done so.
Ho fought for freedom in tho war; ho has
labored sinco for the political enfranchise
ment of all men: ho has championed the
policy of protection, because it is tho sal
vation of tho workingmen. and ho has
spoken for Ireland, because her people aro
striving to lift their chains and bo freo.
All tho acts of his career prove unmis
takably that the wronged and oppressed,
black or white, American or foreign born,
aro suro to find in him a defender and a
friend. Indianapolis Journal.
Democratic Chinese Nonsense.
A great many Chinese Republican clubs
are being" organized, and a great many
Mongolians aro shouting for Harrison in
tho columns of tho Democratic press, and
nowhero elso. As the independent C14
cago News remarks, "even if Chinamen
were really in favor of Harrison's election
they would have too much sense to let tho
wlJto people find it out. Therefore,
Democrats, stop talking nonsenso and
teli tho truth." Thoso writers evidently
credit a laundry man with having as
littlo wit as a Democratic reporter. Buf

No Dodging: In This Campaign.
Let us, then, havo an honest, not a
hypocritical campaign. Tho issuo is not
one of details as to a protective tariff. It
is much bigger than that. Tho Demo
crats strike nt tho heart of the protective
theory, for they deny the right of con
gress to lay a tax for protection. Demo
crats who aro too cowardly to como up to
the issue squarely will do well to drop

Levi P. Morton was one of three men

It is in striking contrast with Cleveland's

"Protection to American labor threat

"Protection to American taxpayers
wantonly burdened for years by needless

"Protection to American commercial

And here aro extracts from the senti

Georgo Washington: "Congress havo
repeatedly, and not without success, di
rected their attention to tho encourage

too much consequence not to insuro a con
tinuance of their efforts every way which
shall appear eligible."
Benjamin Franklin: "Every manufac
turer encouraged in our country makes
part of a market for provisions within
ourselves, and saves so much money to
tho country as must otherwise bo ex
ported to pay for the manufactures he
supplies."
Alexander Hamilton: "There aro na
tural causes tending to render tho exter
lal demand for thosurplus of agricultural
uations a precarious reliance."

HARRISON AND THE STRIKERS.
Ills Record fn tho Troubles of 1877 One
to lie Proud Of.
The record of Gen. Harrison in the
labor troubles, so called, of 1877, is the
record of an honorable, conservative
patriotic man. There is nothing to apol
ogize for in it. it is uot necessary to re
call tho details of that lime. Life and
property had been destroyed in Pittsburg
and Chicago by rioters, hicves and An
archists, who, in large cities, are always
ready to take advantage of tho disturb
ance of social conditions to work their
rum ana ntsaster. To prevent ifke scenes
of destruction iu this city. Governor
Williams, a Democrat, called upon
law abiding citizens to form militia
companies for the protection of life and
property. In this course ho was indorsed
by Major Caven, by Sheriff Pressly and by
such Democrats as Senator McDonald.
Franklin Landers. Gen. John Love. Wil
liam II. English and others, lu resjionsn
to this call several hundred citizens, of
all shades of politics, organized them
selves, and to tho command of ono com
Sany Governor Williams commissioned
benjamin Harrison. Tho militia was not
called into existence to settle tho strike;
had nothing to do with the strike; it never
came near the strikers. It was to protect
tho lives and property of peaceable citi
zens and preservo public order, and iu
that work a company of tho strikers them
solves aided, to their credit bo it said.
Tho strikers did precisely what Gen. Har
rison aud other citizens. Republicans and
Democrats, did.
There was another capacity in which
Gen. Harrison served. He was a member
of a committee that had for its purpose
conference with representatives of the
strikers and an adjustment of their griev
ances with tho railroad companies. From
beginning to end of these conferences (Jen
Harrison's voice was for peaceable, lawful,
conservative measures. He was on tho
side of the strikers, so far as tho justice
of their demand for increased wages was
concerned. Ho repeatedly said their
wages were too low. and that ho would
uso all his personal influence to secure a
just increase. Gen. Harrison has ever
stood for and pleaded for high wages for
labor, insisting that anything was too
cheap out ot which labor was not
properly and amply remunerated. While
doing this Gen. Harrisou urged tho strik
ers to cease what was clearly against
tho law, warning them that they would
get into trouble otherwise. When
some of them were arrested and punished
by the United States court they acknowl
edged the justice aud the wisdom of Gen.
Harrison's advice, and were thankful for
his infiuenco with Judgo Drummond.
which was exerted to terminate the period
and limit the extent of their sentences.
the general insisting that it was only tho
law that should bo upheld, and not tho
punishment of individuals. When somo
hot headed peoplo wanted to march tho
militia against tho strikers Gen, Harrison
said no; ho did uot proposo to go out aud
shoot down his neighbors. Mr. McDon
aid, who was associated with Gen. Har
rison on tho committee, testifies to the
general's wiso and conservative action.
He says:
"I was associated with Gen. Harrison
in conferences with tho strikers, and
throughout ho advised a peaceful settle
ment of tho trouble. I havo no recollec
tion of his using any bloodthirsty lan
guage or insulting any representatives of
tho strikers during our conferences."
Mr. McDonald also says of this matter:
"I don't think that will cut much of a
figure as an issue in this campaign. The
situation was threatening in Indianapolis
then, aud a committeo on public safety
was organized. There was a sub-coin
tnitteo appointed to endeavor to arrange
a peaceful settlement of tho difficulty, if
possible, and to take what measures might
bo necessary to protect tho public inter
ests. Ben Harrison, ex-Governor Porter,
ex-Governor Baker, Franklin Landers
afterward Democratic candidate for gov
ernor and myself wero that committee.
We met a committeo of the strikers in
the council chamber in a public confer
ence. I talked to them and told them
that wo sympathized with them and rec
ognized their right to quit work if they
wero uot satisfied with their wages or
their employers; but that they had no
right to prevent other men trom working,
and that when they attempted to do so
thny became law breakers. Gen. Harri
son .1:1'! tho others also talked to them in
the samo strain."
This is all thero is of this business, and
it is a record in tho highest degreo credit
able to Gen. Harrison; not a lino would he
wish to blot out; not a word would Iih
change, or try to change, even for the
presidency of tho United States. Tho
men who object to it now do so cither
from partisan reasons, and thereby show
their dastard lack of patriotism and true
citizenship, or they aro cut throats and
assassins, house burner.; and Anarchists,
lacking only the courage and tho opportu
nity to put into practico what is iu their
cowardly hearts. Tho militia was called
out to protect life and projerty, and it
was not used for any other purpose. Tho
man who objects to Gen. Harrisou for obey
ing tho call of a Democratic governor like
tho patriotic, brave citizen ho is, aud who
aro trying to manufacture political capi
tal against him for his honorable, con
servative, law abiding action, thereby
confess themselves against tho supremacy
of law and iu favor of destruction of lir'o
and property by mobs. No honorablo
man would so placo himself. Others aro
simply lawless anarchists, who brand
themselves as houso burners, pillagers
and murderers. Gen. Harrison does not
expect tho votes of such, aud if they
think to enlist any intelligent working
man in their infamous crusade, they aro
Bimply mistaken. American workingmen
are not built that way. Indianapolis.
