The Harrison managers assume th-t the Gresham men are “Irak tor s’ : and all that. ——■■ ■ « The republican speakers a > th e ratification meeting all declared their lnqompetency co discuss the thrift question, yet all united in denunciation o* tariff reform. Oh honesU! w It is a clear proposition that the consumer pays the tariff duty on what he buys, if it does not go into the government treasury, ifc goes to swell the income of the the Carnegies, now amounting to $5,000 j3er day, while the income of their workmen is but 70 cents per day. the tariff end leave the money with the people or compel the soulless monopolists to share their vast incomes vrr.ii their employees.

Rensselaer Republican. Too much republican backing will kill the new alleged democratic paper, and the Sentiuai (dem. ) will only b« that much allot the demise of the b - wef.V!sn?. A second democratic .when started with th« double purpose of gratifying a spiteful feeling and to divide the party, is generally short lived because its backers soon get tired of whacking up the hard cash to keep the concern going.-- Wnaamac Dem Journal.

After a week’s effort to throw off the chill occasioned by the nomination oi Harrison, the raus in this locality made an attempt to ratify; but it proved a dismal failure in point of lumbers, enthusiasm, and ability in the speakers, notwith- . tending ths programme had been cut and dried tor the occasion.— Senator Thompson was expected to work off fine ‘puns’ and ‘chest ~ • its' sot the amusement of his aulienee. W. B. Austin was detailed to console his hearers with the assurance that although they had failed to seefcre the nomination of . . 1 wsliam, iliwy had 3nn.cli to gg [thankful for in the privilege ex - tended 'hem to vote for a gentle mar. -if nothing more could be said in his favuz Doc.

.1 Thorn peon’s pre-arranged appeal to the soldier element “was no good ” Some ho vor ether the old soldiers insist that during the war period they were at the front enduring the dang, r; a, 1 privations incident thereto; that Mr. T. remained behind, enjoyed the quiet and comforts ot home, and laid the foundation of his financial prosperity. They take no stock in speakers of that class who attempt to question their intelligence. Charley Platt was called out with a view to commit him to the support of the nominee. W. H. Gwinn, too, as a representative of the soldier element. He announced that ho was a solitary and original Harrison man; that he was a namesake of the ‘grandfather’ of the ‘grandson.’ He complained of the, persecution he received at the hands of the Gresliaiuitesfor daring to stand b ; his convictions and and now rejoiced to see them compelled to come to his side. Watson tried to be severe on Cleveland for being represented at the fr- nc by a substitute. The sting of his sarkasm was rendered painless on rehection that his late great leader, : Blaine, was represented, by hr | substitute, in prison. The see- ’ tion of the programme allotted to ; Foltz related to ‘boodle,’ and its j employment in the campaign Judge Hammond closed up the proceedings. A call was made for which resulted in a very sud j adjournment in order to cm i him.off. All in all, tbs “ratification” was a disheartening,' uninspiring fizzle.

“We will not start onr milk nn til the men accede to our idea of wages/’ says B. F. Jones, one o£ the iron nabobs of Pittsburgh.— This is tlie same Jones who opes ed ths Chicago convention with a spread-eagle speech about republic u. protection for the workingmen.

And Ben‘Harrison, the nominee of the convention called to .order by nabob Jones is no. await behind that go: . - imeiit toward the oii*rs of the land. In 1877 he took the stump in opposi-

tion to the strikers, and insisted that “ dwdar a day was a sufficient brn fim a workingman to live on : d r-v.-or- u family.”
