That la the way » closely con tested race affects ossa a paseire spectator.' To what fororieh exeiteotent then is the joeky him'self sabjeeted, who, next to the good a»oss aodor his saddle, is tho aont active pertWpeat ia tha ooatsot Yet, amid it all, the rider mast be as cool and clear-headed aa if ha wars simply taking a "coostitutional” uoraiag eaator oa his lather's favorite mars. believe that I am to-day tbs oldest prolissimal race-rider ia tho United States, aad, for more than thirty five years have takes port in some of tho most famous events in Great Briteia and this eoantry, having riddea tho majority of tho noted roaaers of tho past Quarter century, and I can say that •o words of mine son convey, even in the remotest degree, tho seaaatioas experienced la a hot rase around tho eoamo. The story Is never old, though it has been repeated during my lifetime so often that I could hot oouat tho number. Sometimes I fool, after a rase is run, that I have never riddea the like before, so bow to tho excitement aad so all absorbing the interest with each ooatsot. -As I have said, I hurt boon connected with the rase-track for more Mian thirty-fire years aad I sm scarcely remember tho time when I woe not ia tho saddle, tor I began so yenng. With that record behind me I am, naturally, bat approaching the ago when it it Is about time to think of settling down for good in quiet retirement, hat 1 find nsyoelf In each good bodily health that I see no reAon why I should, for the present, abenbon tho oolling which I learned to love long years ago, and whieh has done so wsli by ms aad mine. Psrhaps more than my proper share at eaooom has fallen to my - lot, bat I should bo loath to pat aside my chooea profession aatH old ago actually compelled mo to do so. I should bo a jockey won I a millionaire. That is the long aad short of it. Whea I attempt to roeall the bomber ot races I have riddea 1 am utterly at a loss, for their Qfbtal weald probably ran into tho thousands. I havs often been asked tho question os to tho amount of stakes the horses I have riddea to victory have won, but I have no-moans of Making oven an approximate estimate. 1 should say, howevsr, that the sum would-be largely in excess of $1,000,000, which, or conns, does not incindo anything but tho stakee and panes. )Iy love tor bone flesh was bora In mo •von from my esrlistt childhood. In England I was always lounging about the stable. While but a mere boy I had tho good fortune of being thrown ia with sporting moa ot wide repute in that country, among them being “Aleck” Taylor, the famous trainer. 1 do not know the reason, but somehow old “Aloex” took a groat liking to me while I was a mere lad, and gars ms my fint lesson in tho art ot riding tor mousy, it was be who kept a latiieriy eye upon me and tho hone I rode at ooe of the English sountry fain, in my first roes, when 1 was bnt fourteen years old. I shall never ferget how kindly he praised me, after I bad leaped to tho ground—a win*

nor.

Thus my career as a jockey oegan under the meet thvorabio auspices, and my good look gonorally stood by me, for 1 rode In races in all parts of England and Scotland with considerable success, for several years. I was for a long time ia the employ of Mr. Msrry. the owner of a fhmous stable in England, and it was while with him that 1 won rooes on tho celebrated horses “Scottish Chisf” and “Doncaster.” Bnt I became tired ot living in tho old country, and, in 1HC7, just twenty-one years ago, 1 came to Mew York. I found that I already had bom# reputation in tbs United States, and did not have long to wait before I became connected

with the American race-track.

I made my debut in this city on "Loadstone,” In n three-mile race for the hotel stakes, at Jerome Park, in tho same year. Many of the older gonemtion of sporting man in Mew York City to-day will remember tho detaiia of that great race against "Onward” and “Oilroy. The success attending the result of this event proved aa excellent “starter" for me for I have uot

had an opportunity to starve ainoo.

. Thus tha next ten yean of mr life wore passed, daring all of whieh time 1 was never without occupation, riding the moot noted racers of all the leading tracks, and attainlug whatever of glory there may bo gained from success oa the turf. Among tho horses 1 rode ia that period, whieh now come to my recollection, perhaps tho best wore “Freakness," “Monicas" and “Matt.” It was on “FreakDees" in tko summer of 1876, that I made a dead boat with the famous “Springback" in the race for the Saratoga cup. There is hardly • joekev who has ridden for any length of time that has uot mot with at lewst occasional fkils, but fortune has dealt very tenderly with mo in that regard. 1 can not recall that I was ever thrown from my hone daring my younger days in England and Scotland, bnt I had a very narrow eooops from a serious fall at Jerome Park eleven years ago—1876—while ridiag Governor Boy's “Bolls" ia the race for the Indies’ stakeN. Tho ram wav a verv excitiog one and upward of 16,000 people wore present. Wo were coming down tho homestretch whoa “Bello" stumbled slightly, just enough to dislodge me from my saddle, but I was Ineky aaeugh to got a good grip on her nook aad maaagod to work myself hack to

■v seat without being thrown.

For several years I was attached to tho toabiseef Mr. August Balmont, aad during that time rode “Sultana,” “Susquehanna. "Shylock,” and others, la 1886, at Monmonth Park, 1 was tho winner of tho Champion stakee on “Bandbox," and immediately after the ram tho hone was bought by Mr. Hoggin for tho sang sum of $20,000. A pathetic incident occurred tho same year ia tho contest for tho Lorillnrd stakes. I was mounted oa tho horse “Orator," aad had just crossed the finish-lias, when tho horae, without a moment’s warning, dropped stone dead nndsr me. If over I was aapriaed ia my life it woo oa that ooeneion, aad I felt particularly bad boeaaso tha hone was one

to which I wss greatly attached.

Two years ago my good fortune deserted

•as iaatMoe, for I met with my oaiy my racing career. The accident oc-

curred at Loaf Branch aad will be remembered by many, whoa “Onioo” foil aad throw mo so violently to the ground that my ooljar-

was fractured; hot the broken boas

fit % quickly that I was able to rids

■fain within a fortnight.

In looking back over the years I have passed oa the track i am at a loas te select what t eooaider to have been my meat notable victory; bat I think about tho proudest day of ay lift was oa the 15th of last Mav, when with "Tho Bard” I defeated the hitherto invincible “Hanover” oa tho Brooklyn Joeksy Clah track. What n moo that wss! I shall Mver forget every little detail of it from stem to finish if 1 live to ho a hundred yngpoWf Somehow, after U was all over I woo not surprised at tho rosalt, for I had a halt-defined feeling that "The Bard” aad I weald Win. Bat I oeaid with diOoalty

realize, as I walked into tho paddock after it woo over, ioodiag the noble aaimai, that victory was oars, oven whoa I received a handsome floral ofieriag and was almost crushed with the eengratalotioos of friends

and otrsagnrs

Mo ooe will ray that “Tho Bard,” and I did not moot fremcn worthy of oar steel in that groat day, for there were “Hanover,” “Favor,” “VofMto," “Exile” “FeeMoo.” "Oriflamme," “Royal Arch,” “Grover fleveland,” “Snxoey” and “Kaloolah.” Wo had too opponents, sa well trained, finely bred aad mettlesome bones as were over seen on a race-course, aad they wore all ia charge of as pod a corps of jockeys as ever donned a cap. To this day I can hardly toll how the race wes ran, oaiy 1 know that the feeliaar ot confidence I had all that day did not desert me. I knew that “The BanT woo well la my grip and frit that ho weald answer My hint from me. Whoa we reached the mile-post I knew that the time had come to do oar prettiest, aod then tho final tog with “Haaover" and “Exile," who wore nook and seek with os, began. Down tho home-stretch wo cases like wild moa oa wild horses, so people told me, hot I was cool aad col lasted until it was over aad “Tho Bard” end I baa •wee, with “Hanover,” tho vasqnishod, a length be-

hind.

The excitement of that eventful day affected me for a long time afterward, and 1 sen not think of it now without a tremor; but tho jockey io forced, by reusoa of his position, to forget victory and defeat alike, and most start anew on each day as if there had

been no next.

In order to be successful as a joekev one must be nsessarfly careful in nis habits, and most be in what we might call partial train’ - all tho time. There is no necessity f therieorous diet and abstemioasneov 1 ich is considered eeeootial to those wh> ngage . athletic sports, bnt tho moot ox: eme u c is absolutely necessary, that the w* ^h .my be kept down to tko proper figure, a. .. lor that reason, all food which has a tendency to in-

crease tho flreh mast bo avoided.

For my own peri, I may say, that 1 have always been temperate in my habits. I use tebaooo to n small extent, but eat almost anything to which I toko -a fauoy, although sometimeo I am obliged to pay the penalty. It is my purpose always to keep myself down to about 112 ponoda to weight. The lowest weight I have over attaineff wax 107 pounds and the highest 130 pounds, so, to reduce myself to tho right avoirdupois, I was once forced to knock off just eighteen pounds of superfluous flesh, aad it woo no easy undertaking. When I find myself accunralating wsight too rapidly I begin to toko long walks, wearing sweaters end the heaviest winter clothing, which ie not especially enjoyable in hotMuramer wsathsr» A walk oi ironi eight to ton miloo, dressed in the condition described, will usually dispose of from one to two pounds of extra flesh. These wafks are indulged in only when tho noooosity requires, anil art by no means of daily oecurranco, for

whieh I am duly thankful.

The one all-important requisite for asuooesatal jockey is to keep a cool head and to poososs u unerring judgment, for If fas loses one and fails *f faaving tha other at a critical momeot, he will never overcome the many obstacles that meet his way with every turn ot the track, aad never win n race anloas ho is mounted upon a horse that will carry him through in spite of htmselL There as so much strategy and finesse to be exereised on the race course as on the battlefield. One must know his enemy therough iy and most be alive to toko instant advantage of My errors his opponents may make. He must endeavor to make his rivals use up all their strength belers the critical moment comet and must reserve for himself sufficient force to carry him safely through the final straggle. But above all ho should be very intimately acquainted with the capabilities of his own horse aad must bo thorougbiv conversant with all its points of weakness, as well as its elements of strength, for the former msy often be taken advantage of if they are net known to his opponents. There ie a certain knaek oi riding which it ia diffionlt to explain, bnt which has a substantial •xiatenee, just the same, that enables one to id most lift his bona along, especially in passing under the wire, when a fortunate leap will carry you to tho front by oven at nose. Many n ineky wio of mine has been

GREAT DESTRUCTION

A STORM - SWEPT COUNTRY.

Buildings Demolished a Rotaed—Great Damage

pARKF.RftBrRG, W. Va., Jnly 9.—Two destructive storms have visited this section daring the past two days. Rain, with thunder, lightning aod hail and violent winde, swept a territory within a radios of thirtyfive miles, doing a large amount of damage. A ride through the territory yeetordsy shewed bridges swept away, baildiags unroofed, trees and fences down and crops in a deplorable condition. This is between here* and Athens, O., anil along the Little Kanawha aad Ohio Rivers. Two totalities are reported. John Thompson,

showers of mud or the clouds of dust with whieh the enemy in front delights to greet him. But he knows instinctively that tbs landscape and the crowd are there and ho hears the cheers of the mob faintly above the clattering of the horses’ boots. These are quiet and subdued eounds at the start which are completely loot the moment the first turn is made, aad then they cease altogether until the home stretch is gained, when the noise grows gradually louder, but seldom becomes a good-sized' one for the jockey's ears It is wksn the race is over and tha victory is won that the jockey remembers all he has passed through. The nervous exhaustion occasioned by a record-breaking mile is excessive bat n bath and rub-down eoou pats the jockey in healthy trim lor the

next race.

But 1 eannot eee why any man can so eomport himself, provided he has sny gentlemanly instiaete, that ha eannot elevate his vocation so that it may gain the respect ot tbe.eommunity. Surely, there is no business In which more money enn be made, and there is none in which the com petiUen will ever be so ama’l, for good jockeys are few and for between. There are not many men who are able to keep their weight down to the required limit, and many a splendid rider hw been loot lor the track becanae he hat grown too fat Think you that I would not rather be n jockey, with the ■toe pile I pull in every year, wkh my family in a comfortable home, than a clerk in n dry-goeds store, at starving wages, qpd a room on a top floor ot a cheap teaement house? Any rsoo-rider, who is honest and sober, can gain tho regard of his follew-msn and save enough of this world’s goods in a fow years to make him iadepeodent for life.

Fully half of tha wheat of McLean County ie in the shock, and tho wheat harvest will end next week, with favorable weather. The yield is wonderful, both in ita excellent quality and great quantity. ■ The Destruction at Vabash. Wabash, July 9.—Reports from tbs great rain storm which swept ever this saotion on Saturday evsning show that ths damage is greater than at first reported. Washouts are uunierotts aad grain has Buffered considerably ia places. The amount of water that tell was sometfaing wonderful. The Cincinnati, Wabash i Michigan Railroad roadway was badly washed out. Montpelier, Inti., Visited. Mohtpklier, Iud„ July 9.—A terrific tornado passed over from southeast to northeast eleven miles north of this place Mutnrday evening, laveiiag fences, trees and small buildings. Hail fell ia great quantity, and the corn crop in tho lino of the storm is damaged thousand* of dollar*. The farm-house of Moseborg was struck by s thunderbolt and demolished, the occupaats—the farmer, wife and daughter—escaping miraculously. The entire country in the track of the tornado is flooded with water waist deep. At Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo„ July 9.—The terrible rain storm here last night flooded many residences in the vicinity of Harrison and Vine streets to Twenty-fifth street. Many placet the water was two feet deep on the first floors. At Twenty-third and Vine two houses were wrecked and only by the utmost exertion did the occupants escape drowning. The fire department was called out and succeeded in rescuing six people,* The Local Rod of It. There baa been more weather worthy of remark in Central Indiana in the last three days than at any time heretofore this summer. There is one thiM settled forth* time being—the •lust. Saturday, at 4 o’clock, after a fearfully sultry day, the wind arose very suddenly, Md from that hour to this then has been a variety of weatl -r— but it has all been hot and wet. The rains have been very heavy, showery at timet, and yet almost constant. Since the rains began to fail Saturday evening, the signal service reports a total precipitation of 2.78 inches. To-day alone, ainoe 7 o’clock, one and one-half inches have fallen. Tha tempera.ure meantime has been high. Saturday it was 95, yesterday 92; to-day it has been cooler—or rather less hot. The winds have done little damage, but the heavy rainfall has brought about the antipodes of the late drought. Instead of parching corn, the complaint begins to be that farming lauds are too wet. However, if it should rain but little more, the harm done from floods will have been light. The smaller streams arc booming, and White River begins to show evidence of high water. The thirsty-earth hns, however, absorbed much of the rain. The gutters and ■ewers ot the eity are being overtaxed by the raiaa, and Coutraetor Giboey, ot the Gas Trust, says the water has done hia several thousand dollars of damage. East ot Indianapolis the storm baa been destructive. All eastern telegraph matter goes by way of Chicago, owing to interierence from rain and wind with the lines. Out of Cincinnati east there is no communi-

cation.

The Gas Trenches Filled. The trenches of the Trust are filled with water, so that it may be impopibl* to work for several days. The rain cam* down in such torrents thnt South .Delaware street was ■lashed and the drift-wood was washed into the trench crossing Virginia avenue at Maryland street. On this street at that corner the dirt thrown out of the trench acts aa a dam and .holds the water back, so that in some placet it is over a toot aod n half deep. Hydrophobia From a Cat’s Bite. Columbia, S. C., July 9.—John Bolch, a young white man twenty-two. yean ot age, overseer of R. if. Cornwell's plantation in Fairfield County, died ycetenluy morning of hydrophobia caused by the bite of n cat. For a week alter the occurrence, Belch experieneed no ill effeeta from the bite, and did not think of hydrophobia in oonnection with the matter until Thurday of last week, when he was suddenly taken ill, experiencing great difficulty in breathing. Wbruagias* ot water was banded him be went into convulsions. and the physieian's skill failed to afford him any relief. During the intervals between the convulsions the unfortunate young man waa perfectly rational, and often piteously begged hia friends to kill him and end his sufferings. A Girl Forger.

She hi the daughter of Joeeph Martin, a respectable builder, Md is known as I ami Martin and a Miss Bagg, tha latter name being assumed tor purposes of deceit. Her operations include a number ot lorged cheeks for various amounts and a forged attempt to collect a draft for $580. She did her work very systematically and ingeniously, Md her only excuse was that ■he had told her mother she was at work, getting $6 n week, and therefore she felt obliged to obtain at least that amount of money in that way each week. A Crooned Elk OfficiaL Kansas City, Mo., July 9.—A. Q. Camp ball, Secretary of the Kansas City Elks Lodge, ia $2,000 short in bis sooonnu.

Colonel Georg* W.

A Great Ftp* Line. I Special to The ladiansoolia Newa.1 Wabash, Jnly 9.—The great pipe line of tbe Standard Oil Company, which is to supply Chicago with iuel oil, is rapidly approaching completion. The workmen are working tosst from Laketon, this county, and it is expected that through connections will be made about August 15. The line of tbe Chicago A Atlantic Railway is being followed, and at the crossings of inteneetiag roads twitch ^valves havs been been piaeed, so tkat tank.oars on other roads eaa be filled at the crossings from the pipes. The liae will be 202 miles long, and tbe pipe used eighteen iaohes in diameter, and each joint from eighteen to twenty feet long, caps* bi* of a resistance of 12,000 pounds to the ■quare inch. Tha tods of laying the pipe is fis loilows: The mao arc divided into gang* of 200 each. The first gang digs trenches through the elevations, the bottom of the trench being oa a level with tha low lands. They are followed by the stringers, who lay the pipe end to end in a straight line close by the trenches. Then follows the ring gang. Each section of pipe is fitted with a coupling Ilka gas pipe. On one end is a ring 2J inches long to guard ths thread.' These are takea Off aod shipped back to the taotory and used again. Next comes this tong gang, which fastens each section of pipe together, and they are followed by a ditching gxog, whieh digs a trench three feet deep. By means of skids, the pipe is lowered and the trench filled by the leveling gang. There are to be pumping stations every forty miles along the route. It is reported that another line of much greater capacity is to parallel this one ia a short time. Zseh Friermood and John McLane, of Sims, a small town about twenty miles south pf this eity, rigged up a gas-boring apparatus l>f their own contrivance and, amid the jeers ef their neighbors, started to drill for gas. The well has just been completed and proves to be one of the best in this part ot the State.. the flow being strong enough to float tbe tools. The well is 950 feet deep and fifteen foot in the Trenton rock. Gas contractors have become interested, and it is poesihle that a revolution in gas-well drilling will be worked and derricks dispensed with. A Brutal Attack.

TRUSTS AND IMMIGRATION.

Proposed Investigation Ths roof—To-Day te Congress—Capital Notes.

Washington, July 9.—In the House this afternoon Mr. Adams, of Illinois, ottered a resolution directing the committee on mannfactures to invaatigate tha subject of trusts, ■toting that the scene of investigation was so broad aa to reader it impracticable for tha committee to make its report at the preieiit session, and directing tho committee to report immediately with or without reoomtuendaiion all the evidenee token by it relating to the so oailed Sugar Trnst,and also in separate report, to report evidence taken relating to the so-called Standard Oil Trust. Referred to the committee on roles. Mr. Ford, of Michigan, offered a resolution reciting the allegation that the present immigration into the United Staten iaexeeaaive, artificial and injurioos, and ia encouraged to satisfy private greed, and the farther allegation that the law prohibiting the importation of contract labor is being evaded owing to the lack of sufficient machinery to enforce it, and directing the Speaker to appoint ■ special committee of five members to investigate tha subject matter herein referred to, with leave to ait during the recess. Referred to the committee <>u military affairs. The committee of the whom has rejected— 37 to 108—Mr. Cannon’s amendment placing on the tree list sngars not above the sixteen duties standard, reducing the rates on other grades and grantings bounty to the producers of sugar. Thia Week In Congress. Washington, July 9.—Senator Cnliom intends &> call up to-morrow tha bill to amaud the iuteratato commerce law. Senator Hoar will speak on the fisheries treaty Tuesday. Senator Dolph will seek an opportunity during the week to bring up the sea-coast defenses, which, being in an unfinished state,-is likely to bo tbe only appropriation bill debated during tbe week. Should the nomination of Mr. Fuller* be reached, considerable time is likely to be spent in secret session. The tariff and appropriation bills will engage the attention of the House during the week. The committee on appropriations expect to report the general deficiency and the fortification bills—the last of the regular appropriation bills yet to come before tbe House—early in the week, und will demand prompt action upon them. Less than a dozen pages of that part of the tariff bill whijh fixes duties remain to be acted upon; betas they include tbe wool schedules, upon which debate is expected, it is thought unlikely that the bill will be disposed of this week. Attacking the President. Washington, Jnly 9.—In the Senate this morning Mr. Ktewart, speaking to a motion to refer a vetoed pension hill to tho committee on pensions, attacked and severely criticised the President for vetoing so many private pension bills. The President’! action he thought unreasonable, and doubted if - the neeessity was no great as to justify the executive in aesaming legislative power* so frequentiyMr. Vest defended the President. Ur..Stew, art’s proposition, he said, was monstrous, and tbe Preeident was as much required to scrutinize the smallest pension bill, and give it hia approval or return it with his veto, aa he was to examine an aot upon the largest appropriation bill.

Tease of brie, a

General Lucius Fairchild, Past Grand Com mender of tho Notional Department, Grand Army of the Republic, ia at tho Baton House. “I am on my way homo from tho Gettysburg reunion and from a visit to tho National Charity Conference ia Buffalo," ho said. “I stopped boro for a rest, and, of coarse, shall call on General Harrison. If he wore not the nominee for the presideney, 1 ebon id not stop twenty-fonre hoars iu the eity without colling on him." “DM yon boar any duoueoion of candidates at Gettysburg?" “Nb, I beard no polities there nt ell. Old soldiers were hobnobbing .and having ■ glorions time. -Everybody woe pleased to boor George William Cnrtkrtn hi* ad drew make a ploa for an honest ballot, aa honest oeunt aad an honest return. This, _ by the way, ie thorough Republican doctrine. It ia the keynote ol tho Republiean campaign.” “How will the soldier vote go this fall." "The great mass of the soldier vote ie Republican. Many soldiers who voted for Cleveland fonr years ago will not support him this time. Cleveland's pension vetoes will certainly eat some figure. There is a strong feeling among nil classes against tbe tone of the President's vetoes. They have been inconsiderate and flippant. The veto of the dependent pension bills was certainly an aot of great injostiee to the maay very poor and wholly dependent persons who would have been the beneficiaries under the bill.” “You have heard something from various quarters as to the aooeptobility of General Harrison’* eandidaey?” "The nomination, wherever-1 have been, has been received with great satietaetion among people who know him and know of him. I have been told in Western New York by both Democrats and Repablicana that it the election should occur sow Harrison and Morton would carry that State by 20,000. Ohio ie perfectly contented, and so ie Wisconsin. As to Michigan, the statesaent that its vote is uneertaSn is, I am told bv agentleman of that State, without reason." "Ie there any hope that the Republicans will carry any Southern .State?" “There ie not only hope, but absolute certainty that with a fair vote and nn honest count at least five Southern Ststos would bn Republican. Mississippi, Louisians, Alabina, Florida and South Carolina are Republican States. I think tnat no intelligent Democrat will deny that there States are fairly Republican." General Fairchild had a good word to say for Levi P. Morton. He hail been in Paris when Morton was Minister to France, aad had learned there to respect hie abilities, his temperate habits aod judgment, nod his generosity. General Fairohild this afternoon called at tbe Harrison residence, where he waa expecteii. Among the pilgrims in town today are A. C. Mellette, who waseieotod Governor of tbe hoped-for State of Dakota, a former Indfaaa man. He is a member of tbe National Republican Committee from Dakota, aad is now on his way to attend the committee meeting. Jrlo called this forenoon oil General Harrison. "Dakota has a sort of brother-in-law olaitn on General Harrison,” mid Governor Mellette. "He has defended os in times of need, and has shown himself to be n friend to tbe progressive West. With a rapidly-swelling population, we have long been entitled to edmiMion to the sisterhood of States, and General Harrison has been the ablest of our champions. We have not forgotten his services and no man’s nomination coaid have been more gratifying than his to onr people. We hope through his election to rid ourselves forever from the systematic injustices to which we have been subjected by the Land Department. Many honest settler* have been deprived of their land and cur complaints against tho administration are numorons and grievous. Tho Commercial Travelers Welcomed. The commercinl travelers who make Indianapolis and Indiana their tramping ground, to the number ot several hundred, paid their respects to General Harrison on Satnrday evening. Irrespective of party, they assembled at Hendrickson A Letter’s on South Meridian street, theaoe marched to the Harrison residence. It was a stormy evening, and General Harrison was token somewhat by sarprim, as he had supposed the rain would cause the postponement of the visit. The callers were invited into the house out of tho *torm, and the rooms down stairs were more than filled. David E. Coffin introduced the callers to General and Mrs. Harrison, and E. H. Wolfe, of Rushville, made a happy address to the nominee, setting forth among other things that those assembled were not there as Republicans, bnt as representatives of the commercial and manufacturing interests of the eiqr and State. General Harrison replied with cordial thanks for the call, and regretted that there was “not enough room in the house tog your comfort." This elicited such remarks as, “There will be more room in the White House," and “we will take yonr order bow and deliver the goods in November.” In his response, the General further said:
