Three thousand people gave him an informal reception. Ex-Senatoj Warren introduced‘General Harrison, who said: I did not intend to discuss political matters. As President. 1 tried to be President of the whole people; as a citizen, while I have iny own convictions and hold them strongly, I hold them in perfect respect for the man who differs from me. The accumulated energy and push of this people is such that wo cannot always bo kept in the trough of the sea. Wo shall be on the crest of the wave again. How so ui and by what method, tho groat patriotic people of this country will determine. It Is not well worth while to hold office; no man can make it worth while, no honor can make it worth while, unless a man can leave office with the confidence and respect of his fellow-citizens. May prosperity como to you and abide with you and may every American citizen bo guided so that his influence may bo on the side of those measures that will advance the general prosperity and hold up at home and abroad the honor of the American flag. At tho close Gen. Harrison was greeted with prolonged applause, and hundreds crowded to the platform to shako his hand. Ho thought the outlook for Republican success in the coming elections most encouraging. The war against the saloon at Greenwood has resulted in a suit for damages against the saloon-keeper and tho owners of the property, based on the recent decision of the Supreme Court. I . .
