The tacit impressUs scene that has been enaetsd at General Harrison 'a horns w&s that yesterday afteraoon. when the, Tlrpeanoe Club called to conjrratalata him upon his nomination. Hany of the members of the club went to Cbicap), worked earnestly for bii Domination, and their entnusiasrn over the result, has been tin' boRodsd. General Harrison if an honorary member of the club an J for many years has been a regular attendant at its meetings. As arly as 2 o'eloclc the veterans of the William Henry Harriott campaign beeau to assemble at" the eourt-house. Superior Court room Ka. 2 was fllled with, gray-haired men. II9AJ old gentlemen who had cot been away from home for months came out, thoneb the V.es threatened a iQiainit'i storm, and by the assistance of f 1 .ends were able to join the crowd 0 the numb- present flftaen were orer eighty vesrsof see, .wo or three were nearly ninety, and tut few wero under feventy. Only a ery few of the members wsre able to walk without the aid .of canes or crutches. Among those present were Fathers Lynch and Jameson, both nearly ninety yesra of sga. Father Hubbard, of Maplston. who is 103 years of age, was unable to attend. After all had assembled the old Tippeeanoa tanner, which the elnb has always fciehly prized but now mora than ever, was broagbt in, aad wss cheered by the feeble voices. The banner is of heavy silk, and on it is the followice inscription: 1 1336' 1810 ; : YOUXO WHIG3 : ' i VETERAN VOTERS : : 1876 akd 1830 : . (Picture of Lo Cabin.) On each member was pinned a silken badge baring on it the same inscription as the banner, xcent that the year "1880 after the words "veteran voters" was changed to 1838. When eterythmg was ready for the club to tn&reh the rain beean to pour dowo, and several t uicuiuvia iisi i? unt nut we ui - net wui we dor esme the response from a chorus of voices, why go; we have been through too many storms to allow a rain like this to interfere with our visit." Isaac Taylor, president aad marshal of the club, gare the word to fall in, andcinetyone members and quite a number of friends marched out of the court-house, and through a heavy rain to the postoSee corner, where fire street ears, tendered the clab free by Manager Shaffer, were in waiting. Therein continued to come down in torrents until the clab reached General Harrison's residence, and then it suddenly ceased acd the sua appeared. Quite a number of the old gentlemen members of the club lit ing in the northern part of the city had gone down to General Harrison's house, and in all there were over one hundred present. The clnb had expected to assemble in the "yard but General Harrison met Mr. Taylor et the door and invited them all into the bouse. He and his wife stood at the entrance to the front parlor and took each tnrmber by the hand as he passed in. Both the General and Mrs. Ilarrison knew nearly all personally. Many of the old gentlemen could not pass the General without stopping aad recalling some incident of their earlier days. After all were assembled in the two parlors Dr. George W. New, oa behalf of the club, read the following: .Gen. Borjamin Harrison At a meeting of the Marion County Titpecanoo Club, held Jan. 4, 1888, the following resolutions were offered by Judge J. B. Julian and uoanimcusly adopted: "Resolved. That while we are members of the Tippecanoe Club, are also members of the Republican party, devoted t its principles, true to its interests, and prjud of its record, and that we will cheerfully npjort any rna of its distinguished men apoVen of this veer to whom the nomination may be given. Bat it is further "Kesulved. that harin; cast our votes for William Henry Harrison, in wbesa nam J ml through whose TMtles popularity iu the memorable contest of 19-10 tie hrt oatioral trinraph waa won by the win? party, as such, we desire to give our next, and with miay of ns it mav be oar last, vote to another of his nttu and blond, our distinguished fellow-citizen, Gt-n.

Thftt we prefer hi nomination for the additional reason that we believe he will add strength to the eaoe and insure, in fact, its suecsas, thoa retorin th party to ite jsition and power, anil brinzing Proioeritv to the c UMtiy. 'General Harrison combines the ability of the statesmen in an eminent derte, with the strictest integrity and rreatest purity of life. No man could be selected against whom less would b said. As a f aid'ulate he would prove his invincibility. The name cf Harrison, with its glorious recollections, will be an Inspiration to the old" Whiffs, sirnrooninz them to the ontest. As in the days of their vonth they did not falter they will not now. To this clae of Republican voters we owe th s much, ar d we apresl to them throrg'iont the land to take hold in good earned, and make their influence felt in the support of our favorite c&ndidare. "In the spirit of these resolutions, the members of the club having labored zealously to secure yonr nomination, and having with great satisfaction witnessed it consummation and rejoieing in It on this, the 27 h day of Jane, 1SW8, Dr. George W.

"Julian and Dr. Lawsoo Abbett were annotated a committee to present along with the preceding the congratulatory address to yourself, presented this day to the dab by Dr. New, and adopted unanimously: ToOrjersl Penjarain Harrison: Iear Sir The members of the Tippecanoe Club, nt of whom vcti for you honored pranIire in 1S36 and 1810. and all of whom did so in, the latter year, teedtr to you our hearty congratulations on your nomination for the ptea'dency. and promise to yon the same cordial support we gari to your illustrna ancestor for the same offire.

B. Jl'LlAJT "LaWSOX ABBtTT." At the eoncluploo of the reading General Harriion sooVe as follors: "Mr. President and Gentleman of the Tippecanoe Club of Marios County I ao very deeply touched by yur visit to-day. The resect and confidence of such a body of men i a crown. Many of you I have known since I first came to Indianapolis. I ecnnt you m7 friends. (Cries of Yes, sir. we, are.

In the social and business relaticcs of life, extended to me, when I came a young man among you, entoo rare m en t and help, I know that at the beginning yonr respect and confidence was builded upon the respect, and even ejection, may I not say, which you bore to my grandfather. A voice: 'Yes. that is true.'l May I not, without aetflandation. now say that upon that foundation joa bare nince created a modest structure of resntet for me. i Cries of 'Yes. sir 'W have,' That's the alk) Irameamoogyou with tn bsritsge.I trust, of a good came fertes of That's so,' 'Good stck', sneh as all of you er joy.

I think you recollect, and, perhaps, it was tht a much as angbt else that drew your choiee in 1840 to the Whig candidate for the presidency, that he came out of Virginia to the West with do fortune but the sword he bore, and unsheathed here in the defense of our frontier homes. He transmitttd little to his descendants but the respect he had won from his fellow-citizens. It seems to be the settled habit in our family to leave nothing else to our children. (Laughter and cries of That's enongb.'J My friends, I sm a thorough believer in the American test of character, (cries of That's right the rule must be applied to a man's own life when his atatnre ii taken. He will cot build high who does not build for himself. Applause sod eries of That's true. I believe also in the American opportunity which puts the starry sky above every boy's head, and sets his foot upon a ladder which he may climb until his strength gives out. "I thank you eordially for vour greeting and for this tender of your help iu this campaign. It will add dignity and strength to the campaign when it is fonnd that the zealons. earnest and intelligent co-operation of men of mature years like yon is gi7en to it. The Whig party to. which you belonged had but one serious fault there were not enough of them after 1S40. ILaughtsr and applause.! We have since received to our ranks in the new and ereater party to which you cow belong accessions from those v ho were then cur opponents, and we now nnite with them in the defense of principles which were dear to you as Whigs, which wer Indeed the cherished and distinguishing principles of the Whig party, and in the olden and better time of the Democratic party also. Chief among these were a reverent devotion to the Constitution and the flag, and a firm faith in the benefits of a protective tariff. If in earn of the States under a sudden end mad impulse some of the old Whigs who stood with yon in the campaign of 1840, to which you have referred, wandered from ns, may we not send to them to-day the greetings of these their old associates and invite them to come again into the foldT "And now, genntlemen, I thank yon again for your visit, and would be glad if you would remain with ns for a little personal intercourse. My wife will be glal to offer yoa in the diningroom some simple refreshments." The scene daring the time the General wss speaking waa deeply impressive. His remarks were frequently interrupted with remarks of approbation, and once or twice the words of General Harrison, and the imnressiveness with which he uttered them, caused the veterans to wipe tears from their cheeks. After the speech General Harrison a?ain took manv of the veterans by the hand, and introduced to his wife those whom she had not previously met. All were escorted to the dinning-roorn and there served to lemonade. Aftor thia the conversation became general, for a time, the members of the elnb leaving a suited their pleasure, but always with a renewal of congratulations to the General and bis wife, while they in turn wished each old friend the fullest happiness. INTERVIEWS AND INCIDENTS.

The People In All Sections Respond Readily to the Acts of the Convention. Ex-Governor Charles Foster, of Ohio, daring his stay in the city yesterday, was driven to several points of interest. The evening he spent in h Company with friends at the hotel Discussing he nomination of General Harrison, he said: "Of course we of Ohio were for John Sherman, and it is satnral for us to be somewhat disappointed. Disappointed not that General Harrison was nominated, but because our man was cot chosen. Mr. Sherman is a great man and deserves anything his party could give him; but now that the nomination is final. I think it is the best one that could have been made. No nomination has been received with such widespread eothusissm. The reports that come from all over the country indicate a unanimous approval. . One great result that follows from General Harrison's nomination is the harmonization of the party in New York. That could not have been done with Mr. Sherman, and. of course, such a thing Is a great accomplishment If the convention had chosen htm it would have been necessary to select a soldier for Vice-president and that would have left Mr. Morton out, the man on whom all the elements have united. "Newspaper reports have accused Mr. Sherman of beingsomevrhat dissatisfied with the action of the convention. Is there any truth in itP "There is none whatever. ,Mr. Sherman is a Republican at all times, and a broad-minded man. 1 had a letter from him two or three days ago, written in his own band, .in which he speaks in the highest terms ot General Harrison, regarding bis nomination as an eminently fit one." "Will the Senator take an active part iu the coming eampaignr "Certainly he will. He allows no man to be before him in zeal for the Republican cause. He will do all he can for the nominees, and take a most active part in the canvass." "Will the nomination of Thurman affect Ohio any: -Not alL It will make so difference what ever' n "What do you think of the outlook in New Yorkr "I regard it as hiehly favorable. I was there to the interest of Mr. Sherman a short time before the Chicago convention, and found the prospect for a Republican victory highly encouraging. Dnring my visit twelve Irishmen, leaders in as manv different assembly districts, called on me. They all bad copies of the indorsement of Mr. Cleveland and his policy by the London papers. Now if there is anything an Irshman won't do, it is what an Englisbmau wants him to do. These men are now enthusiastic Republicans, not Blaine Republicans only, but Republicans for any candidate of the party. This is one of the encoursging signs there. I conversed also with a number of manufacturers, with Shane, the man the New York papers are referring to. He told me that of his 1,400 wortmen nearly all of them are going to vote the Republican ticket The same thing is true with other manufacturing establishments. This is a second significent fact in the New York questionthe tariff issue is strongly against the' Democracy. Why. do you know that in New York city alone they have more manufactures than they do in all New England? Then why shouldn't this question of free trade and protection bs an Allabsorbing question there. Then the third important fact is the Republican unity there, guaranteeing the most earnest and determined campaign that we have had for years. The Blaine element, the Arthur element, the Cornell' element they are all in the ileld this year, 9 and that m-ans a great deal in New York. Considering these facts, I think the situation Is extremely favorable." "What's the ontlook in your neighboring State of West Yirginiaf "I see that Mr. Elkins says it's good. He knows more of that than I do. That State is hisspeeial field. He met me in New York before the Chicago convention and told me that his first choice was Harrison, and second Sherman, and ho stayed that way all the time." Cfovernor Foster eaid that Senator Sherman would not be a candidate for office any more; that he accepted the action of the late convention, and wonld cheerfully abide by its decision. He also remarked that no man who had the good fortune to be born in Ohio had ever been defeated for the presidency. Obed Wheeler, representing New York on the notification committee, is the most enthusiastic Republican who has come to Indianapolis lately. He is full of confidence, an! is absolutely certain of success in November. Referring to the recent ratification meeting held in New York city, be says that it was the most significant thing of t'u kind ever held in that place since toe early days of the party. The persons present on the stage and the number of those who could not get into the house, because of the immense crowd, indicate a deep and wide spread interest in politics this year. "Cleveland is declining in popularit in his own State," he continued, ' "and in his own town. I am assured by a friend who resides in Buffalo, where 1,500 Republican majority was obtained in 1534, that the city this year will go from 3.000 to 4.000 against Cleveland. This is, 1 think, general over the State. The men who labored most earnestly to put Mr. Cleveland in the presidential chair four years ago have not been satisfied with his eonrse. and many of them are very lukewarm now toward him. He haa rather turned his back on them, deserted the men who made bim because he has gotten up where he wanted to be and thinks he don't need tnir assistance; but he will." Mr. Wheeler has no doubt but that the Democracy will loe heavily in New York on the tariff issue. lie recalls in his own experience several large firms, formerly Democratic, that have eome ont for Harrison and Morton, notably Sbayne, the farrier, employing mora than one Thousand bauds. He bas conversed with many leading business men, and this feeling f hostility to the President's policy is widespread; to sncn an extent, indeed, that he himself has no doubt that the Democrats will lose the State. Commenting on the Republican feeling there, he said with emphasis, why we have the best chance we hare nad to earry New York in fifteen years. Our party is abolutly a unit; everybody is pleased snd determined to win. Warner Miller will be the candidate for Governor. lie is a .very popular man and all the elements of the party will go ia to elect biro. Mr. Dtpew U go

ing to enter the canvass in earnest when be returns from Europe in August, and he i3 a power in the politic of New York when he tries. Mr. Blaine will also take a part in the campaign, and his presence there will be worth many votes. Mr. Morton is a'so very popolsr, and with the conservative, thoughtful business meo of the State has great strength Looking the whole situation over ia our State, I believe there is ground for unlimited confidence in our abilitv to make our State certainly Republican in November." Mr. Wheeler was acquainted with General Harrison in the army, and remembers him in the fight at Keeaca. They were both in the lame army corp3 the Twentieth though in different divisions. Under the circumstances he therefore has an additional friendship for w-v

General narrison. W. A. Van Buren returned from an extended trip through the East yesterday. He attended commencement at Yale College, and afterward visited Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities. Tho people of Indianapolis, he says, hats no conception of how enthusiatiic the Eastern people are over the nomination of Harrison and Morton. "The people everywhere," said he, "look upon the action of the convention as pre-eminently right. Being a stranger among strangers I bad a good chance to observe how the nomination was received, and 1 say candidly I never saw such enthusiasm. I heard thousands of Repullieans express an opinion regarding the choice. I did not bear a single man raise an objection to the ticket. I was in Philadelphia when the nomination was made. I had been to Chieago and had on my badge. I walked down to a newspaper office just after the nomination was made and found several thousand people absolutely wild. The man who was posttne bulletins saw my badge and came out and asked me if I bad been to Chicago. 1 said I had and he then asked me if I was an Indianian. I ' said I was, and that the badge was a sample of Un ' thousand Others that Indiana Harrison Republicans wore at- the convention, lie snatched it off my coat and posted it in the window along with a notice reading: "One of the ten thonsand badges worn by Icdianiane who went to Chicago for General Htrnson." The people seemed crazy to see an Indianian. and they erowded around mo until I almost felt ashamed cf myself. In Boston everybody regards it as the strongest ticket the Republicans have nominated for years, and the eame is true of New York. In fact, yon can't find a Republican in the East who doesn't predict the election of Harrison and Morton in November." Gates Barnet, of Boston, and J. M. Barnet, ot Albany, N. Y., passed through the city en route to St. Louis, yesterday, and stopped off long enough to attend the notification ceremonies. They are bnsiness'men, and say that in business circles in the communities where they live, there is a decided movement towards the Republican party. Mr. J. M. Barnet states that in Albany; N. Y., in the one block where he does bnsiness, fourteen Democrats have signified their intention of voting for Harrison and Morton, and all on account of the tariff issue involved this year. The rebellion against the President's policy, they think, is universal among business men and will rescltin Democratic defeat in all the doubtful States in the EastX Dr. W. C. Banta, of Martinsville, chairman of the Republican county central committee of Morgan county, atates that he will establish fourteen Lincoln leagues during the coming week. The outlook in bis county was never better. The Republicans believe they can carry Morgan this year by between four hundred and five hundred majority. General Harrison is very popular there, having been in the county in nearly every campaign of recent years. Hia candidacy will be considered by the Morgan county Republicans as something that touches them personally: hence there will be no lack of energy or unanimity. ' ! Hon. L. M. Campbell, of Danville, says that the outlook in Hendricks county is good. The Republicans there are thinking of making the choice of Harrison and Morton unanimous. The Democrats have no enthusiasm whatever, and, were it not for the judical ticket and the fact that they do not want the party organization to go down, he doubts whether any effort at all would be made by them this falL Gen. George Reeder represents Pennsylvania on the committee on notification. He says that 100,000 majority will be against the President's message and the President's policy in his State in November. He confidently believes that the East is going to repudiate the administration, and says the general outlook for Harrison ' and Morton, so far a3be is able to hear, is highly gratifying. J. H. McNeely, of the Evansville JourraL brings encouraging reports from his part of the State. Although there were- a number of stanch supporters of General Gresbam down ttnre, they are Republicans always, and con sequentlr are falling into line with vigor. The Republican organization in Evansville is, he says, in fine order and will make a vigorous campaign this year. An Act the Men Will Not Forget. A circumstance illustrative of the character of General Harrison occurred when the residence, now occupied by bim, was in the course of erection. A number of workmen . wtre employed by the contractor, who was paid for the entire work. Everything went on smoothly until, about a month before the completion of the residence, when the contractor disappeared from the city, indebted to hi3 men for their wages. When the work was completed, the General took the entire pay-roll, which con tained seventeen names, and paid in full the stipulated wages of each, although he had once given the money to the contractor) The circumstance is recollected by several workmen, and has left a lasting impression on their minds. James Carrol, No. 537 Virginia avenue, a plasterer by tra'le, says if every one would tre.it workingmen as did General Harrison on triat occasion, no one would have any room to com plain. The incident 13 also related by members or the Builders' Exchange, and is cited frequentlv by Henry Anderson, one of the men warm-hearted generosity of the General to the laboring men. - ' ' A Badge or tan Old Campaign. Mrs. Governor Cheney wore a rare badge at General Harriiou's yesterday. It is one owned by her father, who lived in Lowell, Mass., in 1840. Itismadeof eatin and is about eight inches long. At the top is a picture of Gen. William Henry narrison, with his signature under it. and the following comment baneath: "The frequent change of rulers is the soul of Republic anism. " Then the log cabin appears, the wav ing nag and beneath all the mjuntion, "Keep the.ball rolling." The badge, one of white satiu. is somewhat faded now, but bas been mounted anew by Mrs. Cheney. I A Little One's Congratulations. Every mail continues to bring General Harri son many letters from all parts of the country. All Are of the same encouraging character Among the telegrams received yesterday was the following: MArLETO.v, Dak., Julv 1. Bon. Een Hsrriton: Bprn to-day. I send conarratulaMons. Like Dako ta, an hope ny. Uakkisox G. Lbockzh. The General is personally answering all the letters and telegrams he bas received, but it will be several days before all can be reached. Noticeable Acquisitions in Floyd. The following is sn extract from a letter received by Attorney-general Michener from M. 11. Hurley, of New Albany: "You may publish it as a fact that State Senator John S. Day, of Floyd county, has declared teat he is for Harrison and protection:" that Alex. Webster, who has always been a Democrat, is also outspoken for Harrison; that Stewart Windsrtacdley. a leading Democrat, is for Harrison; that Dr.Breyfogle is the same, and that seventysix Democrats have joined the Lincoln League. These are fasts." A Correspondent Overcome. Mr. Maurice Perkins, representing the New York Evening Son. was overcome by the heat while attendine the notiflcatioa ceremonies at General Harrison's yesterday and temporarily prostrated thereby. He was taken up etaire, where the kindest attention was given him, so that in a few hours he was able to be out again. Received with Great FV Hon a W. Clisbee, of Michigan, says that the nomination of Harrison and Morton is received with great favor in his State. Governor Alger, he think, will be ia Indiana to take part in the coming canvass. Chairman Huston Going East. Hon. J. N. Huston will go to New York -o-day with the committee to notify Mr. Morten. He will return Sunday nigbl Daring his visit

There, hjaye -thus far, been erected ou the Gettysburg field about 125 monuments, the last one to be dedica'ted -fteine: that to the Ninetysixth Pennsylvania Regiment, which is located near Round Tod, and which was unveiled two days ago. The Ninety-eizth was Colonel Cake's Schuylkill county organization, and the spot on the right of the famous Ronnd Tod just marked by the handsome monument was that reached by the Pennsylvania veterns ou the Afternoon of July 2 and hld by them until the 5th. Pennsylvania had about ninety commands in the battle, and by the end, of this summer memorials will stand on the field to fully one-half of them. All of these have been erected by private subscription, as have nearly all the monuments to repiroeuts from other States. There will be erected during the year about one hundred additional monuments, some of which receive State aid. Pennsylvania haa recently voted $1,500 to each command, which sum is notyet available. Other Northern States have treated the Memorial Association with liberality, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia being the onlr exceptions noted. Maine has given the association $2,500: Vermont, $1,500; New Hampshire, $1,000; Massachusetts, 55. COO; Rhode Island, 81,000; Connecticut. $2,500; New York, $20,000; Pennsylvania. $16,000; New Jersey, $3,000; Maryland, 1.000; Deleware, $5,000; Ohio, $3,000; Michigan. $5,000; Wisconsin, $1,500, and Minnesota. S1.000. The battle-field, covers an area of about twenty-five square miles. Not the entire area is reserved, but only sufficient ground to provide driveways along all of the principal lines and breastworks and of marches, and to furnish facilities for reaching all of the monuments and other historic locations. . These drives are strips of land three hundred feet wide, of which about thirteen miles have thus far been macadamized. The visitor of tho future can drive along the highways and, without getting out of his carriage, not only trace the lines of battle, but note the identical position occupied, by each regiment as determined by the veterans themselves. The Memorial Association, which has ia charge the matter of marking the field, has just voted to lay out a driveway along the confederate line on Seminary Ridge to the point where it is crossed by the Emmettsburg road. It is along -this road, or at least on this part of the field, that it is thought to be desirable that the positions of confederate troops be marked, and the confederate veterans who shall attend the reunion are expected to contribute valuable information as to these points. Tippecanoe and Temperance, nttsbnrg Dispatch. A clergyman of this city, who knew Rev. Horace Bushneil manv years ago, told me a story yesterday which illustrates the determination and conscientiousness of the young preacher even as early as in the days of his friendship with Harrison. Aftervard, as it is perhaps known to you, Mr. Bushneil obtained a national reputation as an outspoken advocate for temperance and abolition at a time when mcst men with an eye to their personal comfort- never talked about those burning questions above a whisper. The late Henry Ward Beeeher, in bis lectures to the undergraduates at Y&le on the qnalfication8 of a roan for the ministry, more th kn once alluded in warm terms to the grand spirit which lived in the bosom of Horace Bushne!L Well, o get to the story about Mr. Bushneil and the grandfather of tho Republicans' candidate for President this veir. One Sabbath, probably in the year 1839, General Harrison caught Mr. Bashnell after the morning service and said; "Mr. Bushneil, that sermon of yours stirred my blood like a March wind you must come home with me to dinner. I'll take no refusal" Mr. Bushnll like a wise man accepted the invitation, and an hour later was seated at the General's table. "Will ynu ask a blessing, Mr. Bushnellf said General Harrison, when everyone was seated. Mr. Bushneil bad been takine an inventory of certain articles on the table. In particular his eye seemed to wander from a big pitcher of bard cider to some bottles of wine that were picketed among the pistes, and then back again. ' His soul wss already enlisted in the cause of temperance, and he voiced his feelings thus: "I cannot ask God's blessing cpon this table till those bottles and the pitcher are removed." General Harrison for a moment looked puzzled; then he laughed quietly and bade one of the servants take awav the offiensive liquors. Mr. Bushneil eloquently asked a blessing, and water was the beverage of all at that dinner. Mr. Bushneil was often asked to dine atGen. Harrisons house afterwards, but he was 'never offended by the sight of wine or cider upon the table again. The Advantages of a Presidential Candidate. Indianapolis hews. All rot! '"The vat value to Indianapolis o f having a presidential candiiate among its eitiens," may ba measured by consulting the list of towns which hare hereto fore had that honor. The elected Presidents of tbe United States came, in their order, from sic Mount Vernon, Va.t Quincy, MaM., Monticello, Vt, Montpelier, Va., etc The Sentinel. All very welL Something may happen in fifty or a hundred years from now to turn the currents awry and leave Indianapolis stranded. But all the same, if you are not rensible to tha fact that it is a vast value to haye a presidential candidate among its citizens, go interview tho business men. Among the warmest advocates of a League base-ball nine for Indianapolis, was our esteemed contemporary, upon the ground that a base-ball nine is a great advertisement for a town, and it is. It helps the town in a dozen ways; -any business man will tell you bo. Now it is of almost as much greater importance to a town ss the difference between the importance of the stations to have a presidential candidate in it. As we have said before this, tbe town and the State are known to-day ammg the English sneaking millions as they have not been and as they have never been before. This city, from now until November, wiil be the Mecca of tbe curious and the interested as no city in the country wilL "There's" not "millions in it;" bat there is a good deal iu it. None seemed to recognize this at first clearer than the Sentinel. Does partisanism compel it to withdraw the gracious word, the kindly welcome; to sneer and belittle, deny and detract and depreciate and cast itself so far as it msy an obstruction in the way and spirit of the time? If it will make inquiries among the business men it will find that those interests whirh underlie all interests are emphatically in favor of a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together to boom the town; and to do it now. Democrats and Chinese. Boston Journal. It is quite useless for California Democrats to try holding their rank and file to the party with a pro-Chines nominee for President Cleveland may write what ought to be done in handling the Chinese question, and the Democratic platform may tell what the party will do if placed in power another fonr years, but the fact remains that the administration at the head of the corernment faiis to ratify the treaty or to enforce the laws.

THE VOTE OP NORTH CAROLINA.

Reasons for Belieyinj It WiHB9 Cast for Ilanison and Morton. fpecial to the Indiananolis Jonrnat. . Washington. July 4 Extreme confidence is expressed by North Carolina Republicans in the ability of their ticiet to carry the Tar-heel State at the approaching election.- Representative Nichols, one of the Republicans in Congress who was able to override the Boa rbon barriers at the last congressional election, by 'the "assistance of the labor vote, and torn the tide toward & reclamation of the State, said to-day. "I have frequently, during the ! past six or eight yean, feit conn lent that North Carolina would be carried by the Republican ticket, but I havs never felt that calm confidence I now possess. The Republican platform - adopted at Chicago and the character of the candidates j-m w- a. s there almost insured my State to tne uepuoiican ticket. Our people are tired of being co erced into support of Bourbonism and are ready to throw off: the oppression and declare for freedom. And awful efforts have been made by the Democrats to keen North Carolina in line, fearing that a break there would cause a . dis ruption ot the entire solid south; out l am satisfied that the time bas cime when , the break will be made. The people are as much dis gusted with the Bourbon rule ol Mate ana county affairs as tbev are of the federal manage-' ment. There are scores of reasons why North Carolina should, at the approaehipg election. cast its electoral vote for Harrison and Morton. Never in my time has there been a combination of circumstances pointing so strongly in favor or Republicanism. " Among the delegates on their way from tha Chicago convention who lingered a few days iu Washington was Mr. James IL Harris, of Ra leigh, N. C Mr. Harris is one of the foremost colored men of tho South, and is a reeognized leader in the Republican party iu North Carolina. He has been a delegate to all the national Republican conventions sinoe 1863, and was a delegate-at-l&rge in every instance except one. His facilities therefore for gauging the aituation in the Tar-heel State are second to those of no man in that section of country. I had a talk today with Mr. Harris about the Republican outlook in his State, and he is confident that Harrison and Morton wiil receive the electoral vote of North Carolina. There are many things of interest in connection with the - history of the Republican party iu North Carolina which Mr. Harris is familiar with, and which be related to me. During the course of this conversation as to why the party had not succeeded in some of the gallant campaigns it has made in North Carolina, and why it ia going to succeed at the approaching election, Mr. Harris said: "In 1386 we succeeded without thorough organization, and with all the odda against us, in getting control of tbe lower branch of the Legislature, and lacked only six votes of getting control of the upper house. The Legislature was more than two-thirds Democratie prior to that. The reasons why we are certain of carrying the State this year are that the white people in the western part of the State, who have heretofore been solidified on the part of tbe Democracy in other words, allied to the Democracy by the color line have found there is nothing in that; it has exhausted itself, the Democratic party having destroyed, iu fact, local self-government. When the Republican party waa in power they established, and have allowed the people to maintain, local self-government and to elect aebool committeemen, magistrates and county commissioners. The Democratie party, when it came into power, took from the people that right and gave the power to the Legislature to appoint the magistrates, who, in turn, appointed . the county commissioners. These commissioners also appointed the pool-holders and school committeemen in everything, thus forming one of the most abominable rings known in our section. The white people of tbe west hate become disgusted with that system of operation, which they call 'ring rule,' in tha Democratio ranks, and they are determined to throw it off. Next election our strongest gains will be in the west. "Then, in addition, the Demccretie party have promised and pledged themselves to the repeal of the internal revenue. Since they have got into power they have utterly failed to make an attempt at this repeat There is an additional reason: In the manufacturing districts capitalists are building factories, establishing and fostering new industries in North Carolina, thereby giving employment and enhancing the price ot wages, and in that way the people are becoming in favor of a protective system that is to say, a protection to home industries and home labor as against foreign cr pauper labor. "Another reason why we are stronger In the State, the Republicans have not only pledged themselves to the support of the Blair educational bill, but have redeemed that pledge whenever an opportunity bas been offered, on the one hand, while the Democratio party has promised to support it on the stump but has throttled it in the national House of Representatives. It will not be an answer, even in North Carolina, for our Democrats to say they voted for the repeal of the internal revenue or voted for the passage of the Bluir educational bill, because the people know that Mr. Carlisle would be Speaker of the House of Representatives, and they know that he is a free-trader and opposed to the repeal of the internal revenue, and every one of these North Carolina Democratie Representatives voting for Mr. Carlisle for Speaker of the House indorses his principles. "The Democratic convention held in Rtleigh indorsed President Cleveland's administration and thereby indorses the fight against the Blair educational bill, for which the people will hold them responsible at the polls in November next. The Republicans in the South feel that our Northern Republicans do not fully comprehend our situation in a polities! sense, and they . fail to give us that moral recognition and support in our campaigns, especially in North Carolina, and I would say in Virginia and West Virginia, that we are entitled to. In North Carolina we have some as thorough and devoted white Republicans as there are in any State ia this Union, and they have undergone and are atill subjected to trials and difficulties to maintain their principles with all the Bourbon element against tbera that the Northern white Republicans know nothing of. For a white man to bo a Republican in the South is to be ostracised politically, socially, and.' 1 am sorry to say, even religiously. Our Northern white friends seem not to realize these facts. Nevertheless they are true. From the sourcea I have mentioned we will chiefly gain votes from tbe whites. Of the colored people, they are solidified as Republicans, although the Democrats now are endeavoring to get colored anrport for the first time. Their papers are coming out and apnealiug to the colored people, and quoting Mr. Cleveland as appointing a number of thir race to lucrative positions, especially in the District of Columbia. That will not avail anything. We propose to canvass tbe State thoroughly, so that they cannot deceive tbe colored people on that point Then another thing: the Republican party bas nominated one of the most popular gentlemen for Governor in tbe State, O. H. Dockery. ex-member of Congress, a life-long farmer, who ia at tbe head of the Farmers' Alliance, which includes a large portion of the substantial farmers of the State. He will get the support of the farmers and a large per centage of the Democratic vote, owing to that fact. On the other hand, the Democratic party has nominated Hon. Diniel G. Farwcll. over the head of the Farmers Alliance candidate, William B. Alexander, and the fight was very hot between tbe lawyers on the one side, in the Democratic convention, and the farmers, throneh the Farmers' Alliance, with Alexander, as their candidate, on tbe other. The Democratie eovention refused to nominate Alexander, the farmers' candidate, and nominated Daniel G. Farweli over his bead, which not only disgruntled but angered them. Tbe effect cf this will be that many of them will not support Farwell, because he is alawjerand a ring man, and will support Dockery because he is a farmer, and a large number will not vote at alL "Another thing: In all tbe campaigns that have heretofore been fought in tbe South, not so much in North Carolina as in otht States, the Union men and the sons of Union men as a rule have not been eleeted or appointed to any' office of trust or prominence. The campaigns have been conducted upon the confederate idea. That ie to say. if men wore the shoulder-straps of the confederate service or were the sona of confederate officers and their special friends they had tbe preference and atill have the preference. The young white men who have grown up since tbe war with more progressive and American ideas, and whose education and sympathies are more in accord with the progressive ideas of tbe present day hare determined to oppose that method, and will not support, as a rule, any man who is nominated cn that plan. They will vote with the Republican party this year, and will not support what they term 'the Bourbon and fossil rlafS-' Nearly all the Congressmen from our State, and from other Southern States, are ex-confederate soldiers, and who have been the recognized representatives in our national couneil to the exclusion of the Union mea acd Union men's sons and tbe Farmers' Alliance, and I wish to let by-goaes be by-gones'I will not mention tbe methods by which they get their seats, but certainly they get them by adopting methods repugnant to the American idea of liberty, to say nothing of violence. "Aa to the eharaeter of the convention whteh nominated the candidates for Governor and

Lieutenant-governor, it was composed of at least Cd per cent, of young white men. Of twothirds of the entire number of delegates representing, tho ninety-six contties, nearly fourfifths were white men. I mention this fact to show tbe increase of tho white support la the Stat. We have never before had such a con vection. The Democrats admit that there has . never been such a convention held by the Republicans. This convection exceeded by far, as to intelligence and wealth, any that has ever be?n held by the Republicans in the State. ".Now as to the presidential candidates. I think they are as strong, if cot stronger, tran any other we could have made. General Harrison IS well known' to the Republicans of North Carolina, was spoken of as the most available man before the convention, and bis Domination wiil certainly strengthen, greatly strengthen, the Republican party in North Carolina. -The delegates-at-large, I being one, were instructed for Mr. Blame. Out of courtesy to Mr. Sherman, for his long and able service for the party and especially in defense of tbe negro race, I voted twice for him; but after having surveyed the field thoroughly, and seeing there was no possibility of his nomination, wheo the convention adjourned on Saturday I then made np my mind to give my vote acd influence to General Harrison, and am convinced in vo doing 1 nor only represented my cocstitoents, but " I served the interest of the Republican party. We are determined to thoroughly orgr,niz the R-pub-licau party in North Carolina, make a vigorous campaign, and we are certain that we will carry the State and cast our electoral vote for Hani sou and Morton."
