seemed as if the frown of God was on our cause. It wu the.i, in that hour of stress, that yon fledged jour bsarts and lives to the country 'applause; i.i the sober realization that the war was a desperate one, in which thousands were to die. We are glad that God has spared us to sea the magnificent development and increase in strength and honor which has come to us as a nation, and in the glory that has been woven into the flair we love. Great applause. 1 We are glad that with most of us the struggle in life has not left us defeat. If it has not erowned us with the highest successes. We are veterans and yet citizens, pledged, each according to his own conscience and thought, to do that which will best promote the glory of our country and best conserre and set in our publis measures those patriotic thoughts and purposes that took us into the war. Applause. J It is my wish to-day that every relation I occupy to the public or to a political party micht be absolutely forgotten Cries of "Good, good." and that I might for this day, among these comrades, be thongnt of only as a comrade your old Colonel. Great applause. 1 Nothing has given me more pleasure bn this occasion than to notice, as I passed through your streets, bo beautifully and tastefully decorated, that the poles that have been reared by the great parties were entertained. Applause. And now I remind ray pelf that I am not the crator of thi3 occasion Cries of "Goon"), but its presiding officer. The rieht discharge o? that duty forbids much talking. Comrades of the Seventieth Indiana, comrades of all these associated regiments, 1 am clad to meet yon. Nothing shall sever that bond, I hope. Nothing that I shall ever S3y, nothing that I shall ever do will weaken it. Now, if you will permit me gain to acknowledge the generous hospitality of this community, and, in your behalf to return tbem our most sincere thanks, I will close these remarks and proceed with the programme which has been provided. The speech , had a magical effect, and to its eloquence many a comrade of the General rev sponded by wiping the tears from his eyes. No one there was ashamed of his emotion. It was a time that one rarely experiences, and when he ence does it will never be forgotten. After. the speech came a little more business, in the appointment of committees, and following that, Comrade J. M. Brown delivered an interesting iketch of the regimental history. It took his bearers from the time the regiment left Indianapolis down through all the long marches and seven battles, the relation being made crispy in reference tc numerous incidents of a soldiers life and sad in passing upon the deaths of comrades, until it was mustered out. lie closed with this reference to General Harrison: "We feel especially honored this year because one of our number has been selected as the standard-bearer of one of the great political parties of the Nation; and I think I speak the sentiments of every member of the Seventieth regiment, without regard to pirty affiliations, when I say that I believe the recipient is worthy of the honor thus bestowed. Applause. We rejoice furthermore because,

having seen him tried in the camp, on the mareh and in the fire that tried men's souls, we can confidently say that we believe that if he eball be elected to the responsible position of President of the Lnited Mates he will give to this government an administration so jest, so clean and so pure that even his opponents will be compelled to say of it, as they have already paid of bis private character, 'Not a word can be said arainst it. " At the elese of his address the General announced that a reeeas would be had for dinner. Many enjoysd their hour under trees, feasting on the dainties and luxuries of the larder. Everywhere in the village could be seen family frroups about a cloth laid under the shade, but aside from this the eating-houses did a thriving basiaess. Off to the west of the grounds lone tables had been spreni where thousands were fed by the generous ladies of Clayton, and a great feast of good t tings they set before the hungry. Before the proceedings begun in the afternoon General Harrison stood at the platforts and shook hands incessantly. To this side tod that he would turn to grasp some outstretched hand. For nearly an hour this was kept np, and till they came from all sides, the old and the young, men, women and children, until time for the afternoon business rolled around. Everybody knew the General and he entered into the pirit of the time with cenuine sympathy and enjoyment. wnen the association was ready t3 resume it business. General Hartison again beeame the presiding? ofieer, and in the first order were the reports of the committees that had been in con-, solution during the reeesa, The first to be presented was that cf the committee on officers, who reported the following: President Gen. Benj. Harrison. Vice-president Samuel MrrriU. SecretaryMoses G. MeLain. Treasurer James JL. Mitel. e'.I. t The report was received with cheers and adopted unanimously, and then the General aid: "Whatever bonors I may have in life I fee! myself crowned to-day by this evidence cf the comradeship of the members of the Seventieth Regiment." The General then said be would like to know if Major James 1. Mitchell would accept. and to that Major Mitchell replied that as he first took the offlee of treasurer with only $L20 to take care of, and as he now had $41 belonging to the association he ihcurht he would accent. Everybody laushed and came nearer to the good fellowship of the time. Secretary McClaiu then read the following telegram: Kxoxville, HL, Sept. 13. iien. Benj. Harrison, Clayton, Ind.: Tha One-hundredth-anJ-second Illinois Volunteer Infantry, in reunion at Kcoxvil!e. greet you, one and il in fraternity, charity and lovalry. OaANOit Daniels, J. O.MlERIT. C. D. Ue-ndbick, Committee. A response was then sent as follows: Clayton, led., Sept. 13. To Orange Daniels and others, Kooxville. 111.: Yonr cordial greetings were received with three rnping eheers for the loyal veterans of the One-hundred and-seconi Illinois. The society of the SeySnticth Indiana directs ua to return fraternal greetings it love to our old comrvies of the First ttrigade. 15 EN J. Habriso!, President. , M. O. UcLain, Secretary. A telegram was also read from Charles II. Cox. who is at Chattanoosa, sending his regrets at not being able to be present. Tne committee then reported that the next meeting of the association would be held at Southport on the second Tuesday of nexPSeptember, when Cola Samuel Merrill and O. W. Bartholomew are to deliver the addresses. Several speeches were then made. Comrade Wills and Major James L. Mitchell leading the way. Comrade Butterfleld, of Minnesota, came next, when he said he had traveled 000 miles to be with bis comrades. CoL James Burgess, of Topeka, Kan., was called for, but he did not respond, being, as the General termed him, a modest man. Bat one of the most interesting little speeches of the reunion was made by Private boow, of Kansas, who, among other things related in a graphic manner bow General Harrison, on one occasion, came to carry his knapsack. The private said: "It was in Jnne, on the Atlanta campaign. I had not been well It is said we marched five miles that day in line of battle. In going through a plowed field I got very tired. I will state here that I was never very much of a Sunday-school boy while in the army, and I made the remark that tbls G d - knapsack was killing me. When I made that remark it was to a eomrade beside me, but suddenly I beard someone behind me say, 'What's that Snow.' I looked around and saw my Colonel he will always be colonel to me no matter where be is. I thought eertin that the Colonel would say something to me for swearing, but I was very tired, and so I repeated what I had previously said. I was so tired and worn out that I was cetting reckless and impudent. The Colonel replied, Take your knapsack oft, Snow, and I will earry it for you," and I never felt smaller in my life. I answered baek, 'On, no. Colonel, I will try to carry it,' but he repeated bis injunction for me to take my knapsack off, saying, If we get into battle 1 want to hear the erack of your gun,' and with this Colonel Ben came np to ma and caught hold of my knapsack, and I took it off and be threw it over his shoulder and carried it until we went into camp that niht" Private Snow concluded his speech amidst the hearty cheers of the veterans. General Harri son said Comrade, Snow had violated tne rules a httle in talking about him, but he would not a provoked into retalitation. Tne committee on memorial then presented Us report, in wnich the death-roll of the year was given as follows: Maj. Z. S. Reagan. Joseph A. Wbeatley, Richard Dobson and Frank Collins. After that resolutions of thanks to the people of Clayton were adepted, including the bauds and all who had eoutribnted to make the reunion a success. Ger eral Harrison, however. added his thanks to the ladies who had done so much of the wore. Every one knows, he said, that wnen it. comes to fried chicken all the man has to do is to catch the chicken and cut off its head. He spoke eloquently and touchioely ef the labors of women durinsr the war. This closed the reunion, and afterward General Harrison shook bands again with the thousands who remained to the lust The executire committee bavin? charge of the reunion were Capt. W. C Mitchell, P. P. Bolen, J. L Wiles. Frank 22. Huson and Martin Englehe&rt. Part of the

Indianapolis excursionists, including General Harrison and family, reached home at 5 o'clock. Met by Other Old Comrades. Twenty veterans of the war, members of Totter Post, No. 12, G. A. R., of Sycamore, 111., stopped in the city a few hours last evening on their way home from the Columbus Encampment, to pay their respects to General Harrison. At 8 o'clock they made an informal call Ion him at his home. All those present were ' members of the Generals army brigade, and a very pleasant hour was spent in talking over incidents of their army life. The leader of the delegation was Gen. David Dutton, colonel of the One-hundred-aud-fifth Illinois Infantry, and commander of the Second brigade, Third division of of the Twentieth Army corps. Tt was in the army that General Harrison and I first knew each other," said General Dutton to a Journal reporter. "He came to the army with the Seventieth Indiana regiment, and I with the One-hundred-and-fifth Illinois, ne was on the right of the brigade and I on the left. Between us were placed the One-hundred-and-eecond and One-hundred-and-ninth Illinois and Seventy ninth Ohio regiments. Gen. W. T. Ward was the brigade commander. At the battle of Resaea General Ward was wounded, and General Harrison was temporarily placed in command. It is unnecessary for me to state how gallantly he conducted himself In that position, for it is a part of history. Before the close of the Atlanta campaign Ward recovered, and took his old command, soon after, however, be was made division commander, and General Harrison was made permanent brigade commander. Throughout that campaign 1 had the very highest appreciation of General Harrison as a man and officer. 1 used to look upon him as one of the most evenly balanced men I have ever known. He was a splendid disciplinarian, and yet as kind and gentle as a woman. He was cool and courageous, and whenever he took a step we always knew it was in the right direction. I often said to my comrades that General garrison would make bis mark, and so impressed was I with him that after the war closed I always kept my eye on him. I watched his course in Indiana politics, and no one rejoiced more than I when, by stumping the State, be secured a majority in the Lezislature and was sent to the United States Senate. Dunne the whole of bis army life be gave constant attention to duty. He made it a business, and his business wns his pleasure. I feel confident that General Harrison is going to be triumphantly elected. It does net seem to me that there is a single Northern State that should be considered doubtful this year. General Harrison will get, positively, the solid soldier vote, and that will count a trood deal, and from what I have seen I believe we will gain very materially from other sources. " Letters from Absent Ones. Among the letters received by Secretary MeLain from old comrades of the Seventieth to be read at the reunion, was one from James T. Matlock, of California, in which be says, "It was myjpurpose to have been with my old comrades on the 13th Inst., but a higher and more important duty commands my services for the next two months. We are now in the midst of the most Important political campaign

known in the history of our country, except the campaign of 1SC4, which resulted in the election of Abraham Lin coln the second time. Tbat campaign Involved the destruction of the Union of the States, the objeot so much sought by those who opposed every step taken by the loyal people of the North M preserve the institutions of our country. The present campaign, though a political one, is intended by the leaders of the Democratic party to accomplish exactly the same results as would have been secured had the rebellion been a success, viz.: The introduction into this eountry of the British science called free-trade; a science which, if adopted in our country, will be attended with hard times for the laboring classes, and depression in business circles and manufacturing industries. General H arrison is a true type of a gentleman, soldier, and statesman, and when elected (which be will be), on the 6th of November, to the highest position within the gift of the American people, will give the country an administration conf piCQous for statesmanship, second to cone since the organization of our government. My time and whatever ability I possess will be expended f or the success of the Republican nominees, Harrison and Morton. The electoral vote of California will be eivea to Harrison and Morton without a doubt and beyond question. The only sense in which California can be called a doubtful State is whether she will give 23,000 or 35.0CO majority for the Republican ticket. " & W. Caldwell, of Philadelphia, another survivor of the regiment, who was unable to be present, wrote in part as follows: "The annonncemsnt has appeared here in the papers that General Harrison will attend the reunion of hi old reglmtnt, the Seventieth, at Clayton. onth13th. Well, perhaps, there is nothing vfry strange in all this in these time. when public eentiraent is to -tied in a certain direction, especially on a candidate for the presidency, whose slightest movement does not eseape notice. It therefore behoves the boys ef the Seventieth to keep their eyes to the front and their rauks well closed up. Let tbem give tha people to nndertttnd that we did not soldier three years with fire-crackers, but that we loaded up with home-made ball and powder, and expect to do likewise in this campaign."

Hundreds of splendidly-uniformed and finely-drilled men, bearing torches, paraded the principal streets with music, escorting carriages containing the speakers. The streets and sidewalks were crowded with spectators, and the greatest interest and enthusiasm prerailed. The Grand Opera-house, the most capacious bmldins in the city, wa filled to overflowing.

The Republican meeting at this place yesterday was attended by 2,000 people viho listened to the splendid speeches of Secretary of State Griffin and General Bussey, of Now York. The latter devoted himself almost entirely to a discussion of the tariff, which question he makes plain to ellwand demonstrates the benefits to Americans of the He publican protective system. He clpsed by a reference to Generals Harrison and Horsy that aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Ho served in the Union army with General Hovey, and his tribute to the grand old hero of Champion Hills was full of fire and patriotism. Mr. (riflm' speech was of the true ring, and was applauded most heartily. He spoke upon State issues chiefly, and showed up the corruptions of the Democrats of Indiana in a way that made bis Democratic auditors wince and squirm. The worst thing about it ia that what he tells is true, and the Democrats know it. These were the first Breaches here this campaign by speakers from a distance, and will do great good. This meeting was in sharp contrast with that of the day before, when John W. Kern addressed a Demo crats gathering. Keoublicans are enthusiasts and working for the election of Harrison and llovey.

The Democratic managers in this State, see ing inevitable defeat in the great number of ac cessions to the Republican ranks from the workingtnen, are resorting to the most desperate tactics. A fellow named 'Krago," who professes to have been a former resident of Chicago, is f:olng from place to place organizing alleged odees of Knitrhta of Labor.whicharc annonnred by posters. In every case the Gcers ehosen for the lodges are solidlv Democratic, and the organizations are run solely in the interests of that party. Within the last week lodgea have been organized in Huntington and Warsaw, but tne trick waa promptly exposed and Republican workingmen have not been blinded. Not a Third-Party Man. Huntington Herald. . The third-party advocates of Roanoke and vicinity made a decided mistake last Saturday night. They advertised a third-party meeting to be addressed by Rev. J. Fodge, of Bourbon, Ind., and the occasion was a large gathering. After the. preliminary exercises, Rev. Fodge was introduced, and to the surprise and anger of the third-party managers, made an address in which he took occasion to outline his position in the following terse manner: "Ladies and Gentlemen If you came here with the expectation of a speech from me, vou will go away disappointed. I am no politician. I Lave been drawn into this by men who wanted to make me a third-party man, without my knowledge. Arrangements were made for me to speak to yon without consulting me. , "I want to tell you ladies and gentlemen, that I am not a third-party man. I hare not got there yet I repeat it that you may all understand it, I have not got there yet. This is my first political meeting of this year, and I

earnestly think it have no time to

I cannot afford to step down and out of the ministry just for the sake or politics. 1 think that a minister of Jesus Christ had better be in better business. I believe in temperance, but I am not here to say how it shall be brouzht about. .LJi - . "l am no tnira party man. l am a memoer oi the party that has done more for temperance, and more to make the United States free, than all of the other parties combined. I belong to the party tbat made Iowa and Kansas atalwart temperance States, as they are to-day. I belong to the party that freed the slaves. Now I think tbat you all can readily see to what party I belong." An Old Democrat for Harrison.

The official re turns from the State election are all in, and the majority of Colonel Eacle, Democratic candi date for Governor, is 14,931. CONGKESS31AX MATSON. A Severe Arralgniueut by tho Comuiltteo on 1'entione of the G. A. tlC Columbus, O., Special. Next to the Cleveland incident the report of the committee on pensions was the bir event of the day. This renort completely punctured the claims set np by Colonel Matson, the Democrat ic candidate for Governor of Indiana, that he is the friend of the soldier. It is the most caustic arraignment given any man in Grand Army circles in some years, and if it does not eost Matson bis election a good many people will be fooled. The renort says the committee at tempted to prevail cn Congress to pass a dapendent pension bill; that the Senate passed the measure and the House referred it to the committee on invalid pensions, of which Colonel Matson la chairman. The House committee wa3 urged to act speedily, so that there eould be some hope of passing the bill, but one man (Matsou) blocked the way. When the session was mere than b&lf spent the chairman of the House committee on invalid pensions consented to report, but the bill reported disregarded the wishes of 400,000 members of the Grand Army. "The bill report ed," says tne committee, "was a mongrel. narrow, picayunuh affair. This bill was reported to the House and put upon the calendar. From that hoar it haa proved imr ssible to bring this or any other general pension measure before the House. Jn ilay your committee prepared a petition to the committee on rules asking tbat three or four days be set apart for the consideration of general nension legislation. This petition re ceived the signatures of over 100 member of the House. The name of tlie chairman of the committee on invalid pensions was not in the list of those in faror of such action. It has been clearly within his own power to secure the assignment of one or more days for this purpose. He made no such effort, nor by net cor word in dicated that be favored it. The responsibility for the failure cf yonr bill, the responsibility for the failure of the general pension legislation of any kind or degree, the responsibility for the failure to sesnre for the veterans of the land even a hearing before the nations! House of Representatives for the present session rests up on the chairman of the House committee of invalid pensions. Regretting that its efforts in following out your instructions have been thus hindered and thwai ted. your committee recommends that th soceeetiooa of last year be reaffirmed and another vigorous campaign be begun in behalf of our needy aud deserting comrades." If Mr. Matson had any friends present they did not make themselves known. No one ob jected to the Fevere overhauling the committee gave mm. J nere was some onjecuon to the closlog sentence by the delegate who favored a service pension, but the report of the committee was adopted by an almost unanimous vote. Generat Harrison's Letter la New York. F. D. 51. iu Ciuclnuati Cominercul-Oazette. It is easy already to see the effect of General Harrison's letter of acceptance. It bears out all the best ideas that have been formed of the man by his party, and in its calm, manly and states manlike treatment or an the great questions now aritating the country is in striking con trast with the spasmodic, trucklinc and am bitious efforts of the novice in statecraft who occupies the White House. The Republicans are delighted with the letter, azd that is the general expression. Ex-Governor Pound, of Wisconsin, who thought it his duty to vote for Governor Cleveland in 1835, has been entirely converted by Gen eral Harrisons letter. He said to mo to-day: "That is the grandest state document that I have ever read. It is so simple and straightforward a cnild can read it ana understand it. There is no straining for effect in it. It is the proclama tion of a man who means business, who is wise, careful and conservative, and is as full of in formation and instruction as an egg is full of meat. I like it, and I admire the man wbo can write such a letter, and he will have my heart iest support" As malicious as the mugwump papers are. cot one of them baa been able to say an unkvnd word of General Harrison s letter, and the issue of Harper's Weekly to-day practically adm:ts that the whole force of what they call the "independent voters" will go in this campaign to Harrison and Miller. That is the direction in which the tide is diifting in this State, and Mil ler's campaign in the State at large will go on record as one of the finest and bravest efforts ever made by a political eandidate. - - SJS Different Answers. New Albany Tribune. As per an arrangement male by the Republic ans, a committee was appointed to visithe dif ferent manufacturing establishments to ascer tain how many persons were going to Indianapolis from New Albany on Saturday next, so as to arrange for transportation. The answer from J. F. Gebhart, superintendent of New Albany wooien-raius, was mat an memoers or eacn party would be excused two days if they desired it. during the campaign for political demonstra tions, but the mill will not stop for either party, nnless the force is insufficient at whistle time to operate it for the day. The manager further stated tbat be believed in granting alt competent persons the pri?ilegt of casting their ballot without any restraint "I am a Republican because Republican principles have served the best purposes 6f the whole country without distinction, and their platform promises more and better things for this Nations future prosperity than the Democratic platform does." The same committee also called at another manufactory,whose manaeer is a Democrat, and received as a reply tbat "if any parson wanted to eeyer his connection with this mill, all be would have to do would be to go to Indianapolis next Saturday." The Selling Out of Cleveland. Chicago News (Cleveland Orxan), Auj. 25. , There is a suspicion rife that the Democratio national committee intends to sell out Cleveland as it did Hancock. The same old schemer and tariff leech, Barnum, is at the head of the committee, and his opposition to Cleveland's principles is well known. The work of the committee is said to be away behind that of the Republicans. Almost nothing has been done by the Democrats, while the country has been fairly papered with protection literature. The Democratic committees all over the eountry are apologizing for daring to touch the sacred rrlc of the tariff, and disclaiming the charge that they seek to free commerce of its restrictions. In the most important State of all the party is confessedly unable to nominate

N.Y. any other than a man who will surely be beaten if honest men's votes are to be sought for. That State is New York, and the man is Governor David B. HilL He has made himself unpopular am one decent people by his refusal to sign the Saxton bill, a measure which would give an honest and nnbribed ballot: he has bad his State papers printed at a "rat ehep, and sneakinely got the firm imprint left off, and it is notorious that the Republicans have charges against him of corruption and bribery in the aqueduct job which would wreck a deeeut man, and which cannot be pooh-poohed away. If David B. Hill is renominated in the convention on Sept 12 the Democrats will save money by stoppine rieht where they are and acknowledge Harrison's election. "Where the Hep obit can 1'arty was Born. Jackson (Mich.) Letter, July 9. The Republican Campaign was opened in thia city yesterday by raising a pole 120 feet high on the spot where, in July, 1854, the Republican party was organized and christened. The place was in an opening in a beautiful oak grove en what was known as the "Morgan Forty," just outside of Jackson. The ground is now covered with handsome bouses, is in the Third ward of this city, which extends nearly a mile to the westward and a mile and a quarter to the southward. Tha opening speech was by ex-Governor Austin Blair. The national nag and a Harrison and Morton streamer were run up while he was speaking. Congressman James O'Donnell speke on the issues of the campaign, and was followed by William K. Gibson and Judge T. G. Turner, all of whom were present at the convention cf 1851. Judee Turner stumped the State of New York for William Henry Harrison in 1840. A flag used at Seneca Fails, N. Y in that campaign was unfurled and excited much applause. Where the Prohibition Vote Is Going;. Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. The result of the election in Maine makes notable one indication, which is that tha Prohibition vote is largely returning to its Republican allegiance. Maine was the propagating garden for the movement whieb made the cold-water adherents a party organization. For these pioneers to again return to th j Republican fold is notice seived to all who have the temperance cause really at heart that resulu cannot be reached by ttandiu? alone, but rather through the instrumentality of one or the other great political organizations. If like results attain m New York it will mean the accretion cf 15,000 votes to the Republican tieket which otherwise would bave been thrown away on the Fisk electors. Such a contingency would make it Quite up-hill work for the Democrats to carry . the Hmnire State. Xo Residence for lllahop Foss. rbiladelrhia Special. The Methodists of this city are in quandary as to what to do with Bishop Foss, who is to take up his permanent residence here in October. Tney say there is no houee set apart for the new bishop, and the church goers are not disposed to buy a bouse, as was done for Bishop Simpson. The majority of the Philadelphia delegates to the General Conference do not desire to have this city named as one of the places where a Bishop should be placed, and prooinent Methodists in this city now ray that it would be a difficult matter to get up a fund for an episcopal residence. If an effort should be made io that direction, it will be to collect a fund to purchase a bocse which aiaU be made fcr any bishop who may be placed here, and not, as ia Bishop Simpson's cue, a personal gift 'Gen. Harrison as a Public Man. Kew York Tribune. General narriton has never been a sensational figure in our politics. Even ia high public station he has been self-contained, dignified, unassuming, and so has attracted a smaller stare of public attention than many men conspicuously his inferiors, both in natural ability and the qualifications cf statesmanship. A large proportion of the people of the country were well made acquainted with the full measure of his powers for the first time by the remarkable series of his speeches, beginlng immediately up on his nomination, and continuine almost daily until now. The general admiration which these evoked will be intensified by the strong, terse, epigrammatic letter of acceptance which we lay before our readers to-day. Confidence in Chairman Quay. Special to Chicago Tritune. Chairman Quay was in the Senate to-day and bad frequent talks with the Republican Senators. The more they see of Quay the better satisfied are the Congressmen tnat the campaign management is in good hands. He does cot encouraca overconfidence, but it is found that any statements he makes are based upon knowledce and not upon loose reports from enthusiastic partisans. It is well understood that the Chairman feels the Republicans to-day have New York, and he does cot intend they eball lose their grip. Indiana is also well in band, and an aggressive campaign will be entered upon which promises to surprise the Democrats. A Clear and Statesmanlike Letter. Kcw York Frets. General Harrison's letter of acceptance is a clear, statesmanlike statement of the real issue before the American people. Without solf-glori-fication he plunges right into the subject uppermost in the public mind, and places the two conflicting views in relation to national taxation fairly before the country. With clearness and force all the vital questions are toucaed upon, and the letter is, without exception, one of the calmest and best expositions of the Republican faith ever penned. It is calculated by its conservative tone and courageous attitude on all the living issues to strengthen General Harriaison with tho people, and it ought to elect him President. The Country fh 1837. Can Francisco Chronicle. When a free-trader tells you that the eountry was prosperous under a tariff for revenue only, respectfully refer him to the fact tbat in 1857 the liabilities of the bankrupted concerns exceeded $290,000,000, afar greater amount than the failures bave reaehed in any year since 1SG0, although the business of the country has increased four-fold during the period. In Great Danger. Nebraska Slate Journal. Geortre William Curtis believes tbat he Is insulted when peeple refer to him as a Democrat. George William is now training with tuch a crowd that he is liable to be insulted four or five times before the campaign is ended. Harrison's Letter. Detroit Tnt'une. We predict that this letter will take its placa in our political literature as one of the most admirable contributions of its sort that any presidential campaign has yet produced. The Letter ana tho Man. New York Tribune. General Harrison's letter of acceptance expresses the man. It is the utterance of a frank, thoughtful, far-seeing, self-respecting American, with a cjear conscience, a clear head and a clear record. It Will Come When Needed. Kew Yort Tribune. An admirable letter, General Harrison; the country easerly anticipates your iniuural address. The C. H. & D. Ticket Ofice. Corner Illinois street and Kentucky avenue, will be open to-nigbt and to-morrow cieht te accommodate parties wishing to purchase tlekett for the Commercial Travelers' Cincinnati Excursion.
