Why Ben Will be Beaten.

[Chicago Herald.] Mr. Harrison will be overwhelmingly defeated, not because he is Mr. Harrison, not because he is not personally an acceptable gentleman find a good citizen, but because it is necessary for the welfare of the republic, for the prosperity of its people and for the preservation of the faith of the masses in the great truths of Thomas Jefferson that this most cruel and rapacious doctrine of over-taxation, unfair taxation and profligate expenditure should be wiped from the face of the earth. The man who stands on the right side of that question is to be congratulated for his own and his country’s account. The right is a mighty weapon. It makes a giant, of him who uses it, and calloused is the manjagainst whom it is useedwho does not shrink in terror away.
