OMAHA DAILY BEE > , WEDNESDAY , JULY 4. 1888. { .HE IS NOT UNAPPROACHABLE ; * ' Cold-Bloodod Storloa About Harrison risen Shown to bo Falso. ' A VERY GENIAL GENTLEMAN. Jlr . JInrrlson a Kit Helpmeet For the Next President Talks With Sen atorial Associates of the General. 1'lcnnnnt Mnn to MncU July 3. [ Special to Tux BBS. ] Ono seldom hears In Washington the nsscrllon that ( lencral Harrison Is unsociable or formal with his friends. When ho first - came to the senate In 1SS1 the newspapers \vith unerring Inaccuracy announced that ho was hard to approach , nnd that ho would bo n companion for Senators Sherman and Ed- - rounds , whom they claimed to bo cold- flooded. General Harrison is well known in "Washington among public men , and not ono ulio has over met him In his Individual ca pacity will say that ho has any traits of un- Bociability. I was talking , the other day , to a peimtor who served Ihroo or four years on a committee with General Harrison and ho eald : " * ( "Why , If I had not seen In Iho newspapers /statements to the olTcct that Gancral Harri- uon was hard to approach I never would have fiuftpcctcd such n thing. Ho is methodical jind retiring In his disposition. Ho never ( pushes himself forward In public matters nnd yicvcr goes out of his way to make professions of friendship. That is why a rcry few people who have met him refer to lilin as being hard to approach. Whan you are fnlroduccd lo General Harrison ho never thinks of taking you by the arm and patting you on the back nnd telling you that ho is nearly tickled to death to meet you , und before - fore ho knows what you want exclaim that lie wants to do something for yon , nnd ho kiover indulges in promises until ho knows what ho can do. If you will study those traits of character you will see that they are * ' those which grow on n man , nnd which make f\ higher rank of manhood than we find in the effervescent character. "During his career in ihe senate , " contin ued the senator , "General Harrison always took lunch about 1:30 : o'clock , nnd ho never r lallrd to po down to his committee room nnd Binoke after eating. It was then that ho ran over the columns of the Now York nnd Phil- C ndelphia iiew.spnpers nnd indulged in socia bilities. He used to often meet mo nbout the - - - Senate restaurant at lunch time and ask mete to cat with him , nnd then mvito me around * lo his coinmittro-room , where wo sat and Binokod und recited reminiscences of the war end the practice of the law. It was on such /occasions / as these that ho'usod lo stretch him- eolf nnd say that ho wus glad to gut an op portunity to discharge his mind of senatorial * ' * pud other duties ; that ho never felt like giv ing up his time to social conversation until after ho had done all of his work. I was a /ncmbcr of Iho committee on territories for a time during the period General Harri- Don was the chairman , and 1 don't bo- jiovonny committee in congress was more thoroughly congenial. We used to have the most sociable sessions possible. General Harrison always kept n drawer full of cigars about his cabinet , and ho used to open It fre quently and invite the members to enjoy a ksocial season with him. Al such times wo XllsinUsod our work , pul our heels up on Iho tiackn of chairs , and amid Iho clouds of pmolio related anecdotes and told stories. General Harrison was proverbial for the > Bteadfustnoss of his friendship. When ho came to have confidence in a man ho would tmst him to- the farthest extreme. When a member of his committee made statements bf fact in drawing up reports on bills , Gen eral Harrison , as chairman of Iho commlltcp , rover queslioned anything. It was enough , ' for him to have confidence in the member , nnd Ills wide range of knowledge and his fccen perspicacity enabled him to Instantly fietcct the right from the wrong , and sep arate exaggeration from fact. Some of the teraesl and moat convincing briefs I have ver sfen written were prepared by him on JiIHs from the committee on territories and * Jnilltary affairs. His knowledge on matters military was so thorough and his ideas of Justice so perfect that whatever he did as a Snemberof General Logan's committee was never questioned , but heartily endorsed. v ' 'I iciiicmborono day , a short tiuio before Bcimtor Harrison's terra expired , that ho cave a lunch in his committee room. Ho in vited the members of the committee and their wives and a few of ills personal friends m the outside. Mrs. Harrison was there , and % toll you the general nnd his wife acquitted themselves in n manner which completely captivated everyone present. Thuro was that linesso in the courtesy extended that brought out the admiration of all. They are a handsome , brainy and graceful pair. They ore so thoroughly in love with each other , nnd so thoroughly In sympathy thai they , have come to look considerably alike. Tliuy arc both inclined to bo stout , and have many < traits of character that are remarkably simi lar. The white house would bo presided nver in nn admirable manner by General Harrison and his lovely wlfo. Mrs. Harri- i' * eon captivated my wife and all of the semi- torial ladies who mot her. The general and . - jus wife lived In an unpretentious stylo. IChcy did not go Into the swim of society like pinny people in public life , because , 1 prer Bumc that their inclinations , in the ' ' * first place , did not lead Ihem in that direction , and secondly , because they wcro financially not able to en- t tortain like the millionaires about them. 5 fThoy nro sensitive , nnd I fancy they did not Milesiro to uccupt so many courtotios from their acquaintances without uxlemlliig some- v thing in return , und that n sense of rus ] > onsl- r , billty and propriety dictated to them the pourno they pursued. . , Another senator who served on the com- ) j luittce with General Harrison , nnd who sut Kvllhin tvyo or ttiroo scuts of him on the tloor H. tit the senate chamber , in discussing the t , , pener.il characteristics of the republican can- dldatos , said : ? "In bomu newspaper I have seen n para- t prah | ) I bollovo fl was the Boston Herald Blnting that although General Harrison Is an nblo lawyer and an eloquent speaker , he did not eomo up to the expectations of his friends ns u debater on the floor of thu senate ; that tie seldom indulged In tlio exciting debates , | ' \t , mid yul when ho loft Iho senate his departure l L w s felt by his colleagues , I think If you brun over the Congressional Record you will t ' find that there is not a senator who has con tributed more strength to his party in what v lie las said than General HarrUon. It is ktruo that ho. did not often get up and weary V liis colleagues , but I huvo often e , licnrd him say why he hesitated , to talk as much us some- other men. Huub- ' liors a bore , and ho used to turn around to tnulen ; bomu bcnntor was killing time and j obsorvt ) that ho was nuinzed to see n man Btuiut up and consuma nn afternoon In the , Bontito without making any impression upon Jr lila hoarors. Hois a powerful condenser in . speaking , and can say as much In ten minutes i ns ui.io-tenllis of thu senators will say in an . liour. Ills idea of u strong speech is to throw ' out thu loading point nt the very o | > oniiig of hln remarks. Tills is Intended to attract at tention und to carry Ills hearers with him. It also gives him the option on time. If , Cftor l.o has made his tolling points , he con- chuU that it is bettor to Mop , ho can do BO viti.i ut Impairing his speech. There it no circumlocution in his style of oratory. In- etvid ot going round n circle- and beating n path , UUo ono of his colleagues did nvontly when Senator Ingatls got after him , ho goes right straight across the fluid und makes his point us quickly as possible. He is n capital story-teller , yet ho very seldom indulges In < anything of that kind iu his speeches. Ho is logical , und believes that his place is among the men who take a inora serious aspect ol Ufa than is common. As u senator ho always loft the funny business to ibo funny men. ' There is method in every action of Gen. ' " cral Hurrlson. Ho prepares nil his work > vlrh the careful precision of u well trained ; ' low.vor Ho never begins a thing until ho is ruudy for it , You may bit sura of ono thing ; } that when he goes out to tight he Will not - , , in.iku a dlsjtlay of his ammunition wuguns. JIu will keep them In thu bnrksround , while. T the cannon nro pouring their grape 0.111 ! * canister In the front. Ills reserve forves will y lie kupt out of tJight. Thuro is nothing en : > a- , lioua' ubout him , and I anticipate that there * * will bf no band wagon buslne.s In lib cam paign lie- will appeal to reason and will * Jiroi' , cd on tbo theory that the utilises can pee Ujoiul thu procession and that they JJwiU inalvzd thu situation und will not have ' * * Imltown In tueir eyes.iu ni > y lw sure. Of another thing ! General Harrison will meet every possible charge , Imaginary an.d iruo , that can bo brought against him , and lie will meet it promptly , squarely nnd fairly. There is nothing of evasion about him1. Ho Is a bold fighter. I romemlwr whenho called up Ills bill to divide Dakota nnd make n fltato of the southern halt of the territory , that ho announced to his democratic col leagues on his committee that ho wanted them to bo thoroughly ready for the fight which would ensue. Ho even went , so Tar ns to toll General Butler , of South Carolina lina , nnd other democratic members of the committee , some of the polntf ho intended to make in his speech , nnd gave them soraa of his statistics. Ho wanted to giro them need ? oed opportunity to moot his presentations. The speech General Harrison made on the floor was ono of tno strongest over delivered on the question of statehood for territories , and if you will look into tno congressional record and read the dialogue that was almost tonstantly taking place between the Indl- inlan and South Carolinian you will see that it was a keen fight between two well- equipped warriors. General Harrison , " said the senator in conclusion , "had nn arrangement In his com mittee room and nbout his desk on the floor of the chamber which Indicated that ho was a student of the first water. I have often noticed thai the newspaper clippings ho pre served and the leafIcUund committee reports always bore upon strong points In law. and had connection with the highest order of principles something thai ho could use to advantage In his work. Ho never tried to load his memory with the stuff which floats around nmong men who throw away their lime and keep their minds swimming in the riffraff of the ilny. I used to often go over to his desk and ask him whcro I could get information on subjects In preparing reports or making speeches , and ho was ono of the best in formed men I over met. He could Instantly tell the book and page where I could find Iho Information I wanted ; ho would call the committee report where the precedent was established , and ho could glvo the briefest nnd bust analysis of a constitutional point thai I could find anywhere nbout the senate. Ho grasped nn idea with both hands , as it were , and ho never had any trouble to explain - plain It in n simple way. It showed that ho was the strong man who was used to making menial diagrams nnd explaining them to people In simplicity. In private conversation ho always gave time and attention , and never Insisted upon forcing his opinion or talking to the exclusion of others. 1 have great anxiety to see his letter of acceptance. It will bo a marvelously stronn document. Ho can wrlto an inaugural address that will fill the hearts of the American people with pa triotism and enthusiasm. Talk about your Jeffcrsoninn simplicity of the white house , I vcnturo the assertion that General Hani- son will set an example that subsequent presidents will bo compelled to follow on ac count of its universal popularity.

In order to hrlnR the matter properly bcforo the council 1 charge Mr. Mayno with neglect of duty , mid in support thereof I submit n copy of the record of lUtcmlimcc at the meetings of the board of public works. From Juno 1 to January 20th , Inclusive , 18S7. thuro were ilfty-throo meetings of tno bo.ird , at twenty-six of which Mr. Mayno was present , nnd nbsent twenty-seven.

Mr. Muyno states in his letter : " 1 returned to the city August 10 , and since then have attended regularly the meetings and duties of the onico with the exception of about thrco weeks during 'ho winter. " The records show that Mr. Muyno was present but two meetings In August : was present but thrco meet ings In Juno : absent the entire month of July and present but four meetings In September. 1 am not uwnro that Mr. Mnyno asked or obtained from thn mayor nnd council permission to be absent.

It was in advance of all lines in reducing the time of passenger trains between Omaha and Chicago. It was in advance , and is the only line by which you can feave Omaha in the morning and arrive in Denver the evening of the same day. It has been progressive in the past. It will lead in the future.

BULLET WOUND IN HIS ABDOMEN. His Supposed Assailant Under Ar rest The Victim Still Allvn , bat His Death Sure to Oc cur Before Morning. Shooting nt South Omaha. Jack Ryan , an employe at Fowler's pack ing house m South Omaha , was found lying on the sidewalk on Twenty-fifth street near Collln's drug store last night in a dying condition. As Constable Hen Flnnerty and Jauios McVey , a citizen , wore walking along the cast side of the street they found Uyun . Ho "I'm shot " lying on the walk. gasped , but was unable to say anything more , and has not spoken since. Ho was carried into a druu store and the Dr. Kelly's wcro called in. Upon examination n bullet wound was found In his abdomen about an inch above and on the right of the navel. From the drug store ho was removed to the residence of Dr. Lomku , corner of Twenty-tilth and N streets , whcro ho now lies. He came to South Omaha about two years ajro from Pcoria , 111. No weapons wjro found on him , and if ho was accidentally shot by some one it is very improbable that ho should have boon left on the walk to die. The general opinion is that ho was the victim of a murderous assault. At tlio Downs house house , immediately opposite the place whcro Hyan was found , some of the boarders wore seated on the porch. They hoard two shots in quick suc cession but paid no attention to them on ac count of the noise made during the night by lire crackers uud other explosives. Aftur the two shots were fired they overheard a remark inado by ouo of two men who passed , "I don't caio if ho dies. I would have done the same thing if ho was my brother. " After midnight Jntnes Ferguson , who was with Hvau in the fore part of the evening , was found. Upon his statement Frank Of- ilnhcimcr , n teamster in the employ of Fowler ler 13ros. , was arrested. Fergu son says ho nnd Hyan wore pass ing tlio barn where Oninheimcr kept his team and went in out of the rain. Oninlicimor ordered them out. Not moving ns fast ns Ofllnhclmor desired ho drew a re volver and shot , the ball striking Ferguson. After oninhoirncr'a nrrost Ofllcor Archie McCraekcn wont to his house and naked his wife to let him see her hus band's revolver. It was given him , nnd ono chamber of it was empty. Ho brought the weapon to the police station und .ludgo Uouther was awakened. A mid night preliminary hearing was hold nnd Oninhoimcr bound over to the district court in $2OOJ bonds , in default of which ho was remanded to jail. Ofllnheimur will neither deny or admit his guilt , evoncing a desire to wait before makini ; any state ment of his connection with the affair , Hyan nt last reports was slowly sinking nnd still unconscious. No liopo of recovery is entertained , hii physicians expressing the belief that ho will dlo before morning. Overcome by Heat. Mr , George Wood , formerly in the plumbIng - Ing department with Strung , was overcome by the intense boat yesterday. Olllcer Mtko Dempsey was also prostrated yesterday. COST TOO MUCH. "Why tlio Postmaster General OnposcB the "Subsidy Amendment. " WASHINGTON , July a. Postmaster General Dickinson has writlcu a letter to Chairman Blount , of the house postofilco committee , in which ho vigorously attacks what is com monly known as the "Subsidy Amendment , " which was put on the postoWce appropria tion bill by the senate. This amend ment appropriates § SIKOJO ) , to provide more enicient mail service between the United States and South America , and authorizes the postmaster general to contract with American built vessels to carry the mails at a compensation not exceeding for each outward trip St per nautical mile. The postmaster general says : "It will hardly bo claimed for this legislation thai it is cither demanded or required , or that it can bo utilized for the benollt of llio postal scrvlco merely on the plan of the payment proposed , which is Jlxod without regard to the amount of mail carried. The service , which cost us in the year 1SS7 , ? 4 , U17 , would have cost us , if paid for as pioposcd , $1'JIH,200. " Weather Imliuntiong.

The New York sub-treasury contains at present more tliiin yi50.000,000 , and this sum , large ns it may appear , is only part of the national cash account , says the Mail and Express. Calling at ono of the olllcos , n reporter saw a mnu of fering borne of the old postal currency for redemption. Tills currency was issued during the war , and us the latter closed iwcnty-three years ago it was to ho supposed it wus all redeemed. The cleric , however , informed him tlitit small amounts were constantly brought in , hut ho added that " $15,000- 000 are fatill out. " Most of this , no doubt , got worn out or de stroyed , and thus our government is a largo gainer. The exchange of cents 'or larger currency is conducted at tlio same desk , and while standing there ho btiw a man bring a hag whii-h contained ton small bags , fie said that caoh of the latter hold $ . > in cents. Tlio mini tool : his $50 in currency and in a few moments another man came up and Buid : "I want Wo in cents. " lie handed over his currency , and as ho departed ho said that they were wanted by a bank. This exchange is constantly co- ing on , averaging 85,000 a day. Tlio banks , for instance , never receive any cents or , indeed , any other small coin from depositors. They are , however , constantly paying it out as required by cheeks , ana conboquontly they send for it to the suh-treauury , which Is supplied by the railroads and biiloons. The liroml- wuy railroad and the Third avenue road each average a surplus of cents and other small coin of 550(1 ( a day , and they exchange it in the above mentioned manner. gives a Ravishing Fair § kjq.5 Is ( nstnntlynppli no Detection Who Is WEAK , NF-BVOCB.
