Harrison’s Broad View.

Washington Post. The Republic has had no President or ex-President so gifted in speechmaking as General Harrison. He demonstrated great ability as a debater during his term in the Senate. In the campaign of 1888 he astonished the country by his readiness and tact in scores of short addresses. In his trip to California while President, he again surprised the people by a series of short speeches that were unprecedented and altogether admirable. One ol the best utterances was this, at Clayton, last week: “I do not doubl that the gx-eat mass of our fellowcitizens, of all political parties, desire the general good of the country and the prosperity of the people. This is the spirit which should domi; nate in all campaign oratory. We have no party that is lacking in patriotism All parties aim at the same end—the good of the country. General Harrison has set a wholesome example In this profession ol faith in the ‘honesty and patriotism of his opponents.
