The President’s Opportunity.

The Chicago News Record of headed “Harrison’s Opportunity,” Tti which ii s< id trial it was the President’s duty to assist the democrats in changing the tariff iaws. A writer to that paper has the following to say on ihesubject: “As I am a reader of your valuable paper; I take the liberty to criticise your editorial of Nov. 19, headed “Harrison’s Opportunity.” Tlie president of the Cnited States should not turn traitor to his party and carry'out the wishes of the | ajority the yoters without regard to the character of the 'persons composing said majorities —who are tic- shims of our large cities, the voting stock imported from the old countries for the purpose, or from places where the shot guii plays a prominent part. All seem to be counted as intelligent. Now, because the people, like the childrenr of Israel, clamor for a melton calf, shall the president like Aaron of old—make it and say, “This is the God that led you up out of the land of Lgypt?” No. President Harrison is too conscientious to take any hand in leading the country to destruction. He knows that — “Truth crushed to eatli will rise again; The eternal years of God are hers, But orro-, wounded, writhes in rain And dies amid her worshipers. Now let the other party take the reins and put into practice and fulfill its. promises, and we are likely to again have the good old times of Buchanan and Breckenridge. Many of us have not forgotten those times and would rather not see them, but we can stand what the rest can. Meanwhile,. we shall see.
