Ben. Harrison.

[Terre Haute Express, National.] General Ben Harrison is the chosen leader of the Indiana republicans. He is their candidate for the senate, He presided over their covention. He sounded the key-note of their campaign, and this is one of his utterances: Demagogue* say that a species of money called fiat money is the money of the poor man. We have uo asylum for idiots iu Indiana, but I think U ., W0 '. l d b -° f V, r thu next legislature to turn its attention in that direction. We put that in characters for the greenback men of Indiana to read.— We want them to remember it. It would be well to cut it out and show it around, and keep it for rofeience. Bear in miud that it is the first duty of greenback men of Indiana to see that General Ban Harrison is beaten tor the United States senate. Charles Sumner once said that Stephen A. Douglas could not be president because he pronounce* the word negro nigger. Let it be understood that the man who travels out of the way to insult the greenback men of Indiana can never be elected to the United States senate from this state. Harrison was the last republican candidate for governor. He had a good deal of prestige when he started and very li’tle when it ended. He undertook the discussion of the financial question, and he demonstrated that he had never given one day’s study to the subject. He peddled and exploded “milk ticket” argument over the state and he doubtless thinks that it is still sound. He thinks that the whole greenback came can be baffled by a s ieer. He scoffs at “flat money,” and in the next breath bewails tie fact that laboring men are swindled with Mexican dollars worth only 95 cents. The Mexican dollar has three grains more of silver in it than the Am rican dollar, worth 100 cents. Whatbutthe •fiat” of the government make 3 tie

inferior dollar worth the most? Let him ponder that question over seriously, and he will come to know a g od deal more than he did when he got up to make his silly speech. Go to Catt & Smoot for the solid shot smoking tobacco.
