JOHNSON & HARRISON,

THE SIXTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN DEFINES HIS POSITION.

He Does Not Favor Harrison's Nomination, But is Not Opposing It—The Reasons He GIVCB.

Indianapolis News.

Congressman Henry U. Johnson talked today to the Indianapolis News correspondent on a number of political topics. "How much truth is there in the statements," he was asked, "that have appeared from time to time in certain Indiana newspapars to the effect that you have personal feeling against General Harri-on, growing out of the legal contest you had with him during the trial of the Morrison will case at Richmond, last winter?" "No truth whatever. I have not now, nor have I ever entertained, personal t'eelin against Geu. Harrison. True, I fought him with great earnestness, and even intensely, in the law suit to which you refer, for it was stubbornly contested from beginning to end. have no apology to offer for this. I would do it again, if the opportunity were to present itself but that legal contest engendered no bit terness on my part against him, and I left the court-room, at its conclusion, without having any unkind feeling against him whatever. "During the progress of the trial, and for a while after its termination, there appeared in the newspapers certain state ments, some of them wholly false and others gross exagerations concerning my per. sonal relations to Gen. Harrison growing out of the case, and these have, no doubt created the impression among some people that I entertained a personal dislike to him. When most of these articles appeared, I was too busily engaged in the trial of the cause to answer them, even if I had been disposed to do so indeed, it has never been my custom to card the press in denial of erroneous statements concerning myself. I only departed from this custom in one instance in connection with this litigation, and that was to contradict certain gross misstatements concerning an alleged incident between Gen. Harrison and myself during the trial, which appeared in the Chicago Chronicle, a Democratic paper, from the pen of its Indianapolis correspondent, about two months after the verdict was rendered."

A STORY DENIED.

"What about the statement, published in the Indianapolis Sentinel a short time ago, that you were disgrunted with Harrison, and are opposing his nomination to the presidency, for the reason that, soon after your election to Congress, you went to him, with a long list of persons for appointment, which you askod to have made and were rebuffed by him?" "No such thing ever occurred, nor was I ever rebuffed by him. I first entered Congress in the middle of the Harrison administration after nearly all the patronage had been distributed.- I think I indorsed in writing, the written application for office of one ®r two persons. Aside from these cases, I never asked Gen. Harrison to make an appointment for me except in two instances, one of which was that of Capt. Frank Ellis, as postmaster at Muncie, which he made, and the other was the appointment) of Judge L. J. Monks, of Winchester, now one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Indiana, to the bench of the United States District Court of that State. "This last appointment was not made, but the place was given to Judge Baker, and, while I confess that I was greatly disappointed at my failure to secure the appointment for Judge Monks, still I was not at any time disgrunted with Gen. Harrison on account of his action in the premises, for I recognized the fact that he had conferred the office upon a very excellent lawyer. After all this had occurred, I supported Gen. Harrison with great cordialty for the nomination at Minneapolis, just as cordially as I had previously supported him for United Sta' es Senajcr, when I was a member of the Indiana State Senate, and as I had previously supported him when he was a candidate for the presidential nomination the first time."

HARBISON NOT HIS CHOICE.

"How do you stand with respect to the candidacy of Gen. Harrison for the Republican nomination for the presidency next June?" "I am not flghtingihim either openly or covertly. I have not been doing so in the past, nor shall I do so in the future. If the Republicans of Indiana desire to send a solid delegation to the national convention in support of his candidacy, they will not And me attempting to obstruct their way in the least. I certainly do not need to say that if he is nominated at St. Louis, he will have no more loyal supporter than I. But I might as weU say frankly that I reserve to myself the right of selecting jor my candidate any one of the great Republican leaders now aspiring for the presidential nomination, And that for reasons which-seem tb me to be logical and just, Gen. Harrison Is not my first choice." A':. "Have you considered what will be the

MR. JOIINSON'S CHOICE.

"Of one thing I feel quite sure. They would look upon me with deserved contempt, if, for the purpose solely of securing my return to the House of Representatives, I should play the part of a hypocrite, and pretend to them do prefer Harrison for our presidential nominee, while at heart I preferred some other Republican. Many of the friends and supporters of Gen. Harrison are also my friends and supporters, and I see no reason why there should be antagonism between our candidacies. Each of us, if elected, will have the full opportunity to perform his duties faithfully within his respective sphere. "If, however, I am compelled to choose between the surrender of my right honestly entertained and becomingly expressed, to an individual preference for a presidential candidate, or the relinquishment of my seat in Congress, proud as I am of that seat, and of the confidence and support of my constituents, I infinitely prefer the latter alternative."

effect of your position in this matter upon your re-nomination to Congress?" "Yes, I have given this subject some little thought, as much thought as the pressure of my duties upon rae !«HS allowed. This right of individual choice for a presidential nominee is one which is always freely acco dfd to every member of the Republican party in private life, and I do not believe that it will be denied me because I am a representative in Congress. "I imagine that if any effort should be mode to proscribe me politically because I desire to exercise it, such effort would not meet with the approval of the intelligent and sensible Republicans who compose the Sixth congress ion district. They did not send ice to Congress charged to support any particular candidates for party nominations, but rather upon th». theory that I would endeavor to discharge my public duties with fidelity and ability. Ibis I have certainly tried to do. As to how far I have succeeded in my efforts it is manifestly improper for me to express an opinion. I leave to them to de termine.

REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE.

The County Central Committee has a Large Atteodanje and Elect Officers.

The Republican priecinct committeemen of Hancock county met »t the courthouse today at 1 p. m, to organize for the present year. Chairman W. P. Bidgood called the meeting to order and it proceeded ta organize by electing the following officers:

Chairman, Newtou R. Spencer Vice-chairman, Ham L. Strickland. Secretary, Howard Roberts. Treasurer, Dr. C. K. Bruner, There was but one candidate for chairman and the committee were unanimous in his selection. All of the otner officers were also elected unanimously. The executive and advisory committees are to be selected by the Chairman.

Speeches were made by a number of the committemen and others who reported their townships as all harmonious and in good working order for the campaign. The Republicans of Hancock county have made up their minds to carry Hancock county this fall. The best of feeling prevails, there are no discords or fights in the party, and all will present a solid front in the campaign, and with "Vim, Vigor and Victory" as our motto, the Grand Old Republican Party will land her candidates—National, State, District and County—winners this fall.

He was taken to his home hear Wiley's saw-mill and Dr. C. K. Bruner called to set the fracture.

OUR GIRIS.

AND WHKRK THEY ARE DRIFTING—A a SURPRISE TO PARENTS.

School Girls Who daily Flirt With Every Stranger that omes to Town—A Halt Should be Called at Ouce. '.

Greenfield has, and always has bad a reputation for pretty girls, but thpre is a crowd no* growing up that willctr ainly bring a blush to the fares of manv a dear old mother unless they are checkmated and that at once.

There is not a day in the week but what an observer might notice a crowd of girls not out of their teens who make a parage up and down Main street, and cast roguish eyes at »-very stranger they meet, not with evil intention we think, but we are satisfied that no good can come from their action.

Mothers, what would you think if we told you that your daughter was seen flirting, or in fact, out walking with a man that, was an entire stranger, not only to ber but probably to a majority of our citizens, and perhaps a married maD. This we noticed yesterday, and while it is not the flrsr time, yet, this yoang lady is not alone, for we have seen many of our girls who still have the sweet girlish blushes on their cheeks, do the same thing ^nd thick, no doubt, they were doing no harm, little thinking that the people they were with, were with them for no good.'

God knows that there have been enough tears slurl by parents in Greenfield over way«al gir's f»nd boys to causp the enure eotniui.n'iy to a-sist in guiding the eomiug gt»ne* hiion in a pa'H will uof, tuny
