Harrison Never Said it.

A young Irish-Aimrican of Waterville writes to inquire if it is true that Ben jamin Harrison, in a public speech, uttered these words about the Irish: “They have no intelligence. They are only good to shovel dirt and grade railways. for which they receive wore, than they are worth, as they are no acquisition to the American people.” Ab we don’t lxjlieve in campaign lies, we answer that there is no truth in this accusation. Gen. Harrison never expressed himself in that way.—New York Sun.
