Harrison, of Indiana, lis the nominee
for President and Levi P. Mo: ton, cf
New York, for Vice President.
General Harrison is a man whoss
character and public record are fre;
from ftain, s far as he is known, and
the campaign w;ll likely be waged on
the great and vital indues of the day, in
stead of descending to the
low-grade
politics of slander and personal abuse.
... The nomination created little or no
Vnthualasni even among the most Fan
Itu'.ne party men. If ll'aina had been
abominated the party jubi'aticn would
liave been unbounded and in matked
contract with the unconcerned manner
in which the news of Harrisjii's suocess
"was received on Monday.
The ticket f- not regarded as a strong i
one in its personality. Mr. Harrison is i
a fair tepresrnt Uiva of his ptrty cn the I
issue of the cunip i?n as he is a high !
protection ifet, but ho lacks that coura- I
geous aggressiveness and Crm grat.p !
of public questions which character;-
Mr. Cleveland. The individuality and '
the character of the nom'nees will net!
likely eater as a factor into the issues of
the campaign and it is to be hoped that
mud-sliniring and the weapons of mal.ee
and vindictive abuse may be laid aside,
that the people may dtcide w ith unbias

Several wetks ago Uv Johnstown
1'ribune pretended to describe a metting
of the friends of John J. Kinney, the
Democratic nominee foi Sheriff, on his
return to his honiu after the returns ot
th Democratic primaries had been
counted. ItwasafeeWa effort of the
tribune to arra me lnsu au uerninu
Democrats against each other and in
last week's Industrial Vindicator, pub
lished at Mr. Kinney's home, the story
of the Tribune is shown to have had not
only no foundation but that it was de
liberately manufactured out cf the
whole cloth . The following is the re
ply of the Vimln: ifr. which also in
cludes the Tribune's article :
Last week we stated we would reply
toihe .Kh'istowa Tribune's s.atement
concerning ths friends of J. J. Kinn?y,
and the remarks that puir claim wtie
ui.tde concerning our titrman friends
and we will endeavot to keep oar worn.
We remember some years ago when a
certa.u German was out for oCice, to
read in the Tribune the lines, "No
Irish Xesd Apply," w hich was certain
ly calculated to draw the Iriah vote
from I hi German candidate, in the in
terest of the Republican party. And
now ihat the opposite is the case he
would luru the German vote into the
liepublican camp. While we do not
d-s:re lo tiuer into a contest with the
Tribune ou th:s queaticn, we will noi
allow a-y journal, combination or or
ganization, to misrepresent me people
of this locality, without taking our .n-I-er
position to defend them ; and we
therefore tri:iouuce tt: following taken
from thn Tribune of June 0, to bo an m
jusLica to tne pcupjo of this viciuity,
and entirely false.
The "Tuicr.NE's" Statement :
'Mr. John. J. Kinney, the Demo
cratic nominee tor sheriff, upon his ar
rival hume at (ialinzin, afier the votes
were collate J at Ebenaourg on Monday,
had a vccifcious reception in which
bauds of music and the wild shouts o!
enthusiastic friends mingled to make
the occasion a '"loud one. "This is
what the Irish can do when united !"
shouted an enthusiastic Kinney man.
L'orrrct'shouted another ; "to Uell with
the Dutch I" "Here ! here !" shouted
acother and more discreet Kinney man ;
"we can't adurd to denounce the Dutch
in that fashion ; we'll need theii vote.)
at the election." "D n the Dutch,"
yelled a boisterous individual ; we oom-matt-d
Kinney, and 13y (J d we can
elect him." and thus the enthusiasm
ran. very little consideration being
mauifrsted for the friends of .Langbein,
until BuifeiteJ bv the contemplation of
the great victory won by Kinney, his
frieuiis subsuled and prudence called a
halt to the wild rejoicings."
That we miht not do an injustice to

the address of the evening, and we no

tne yrij kmui ior n.e ujuci'jio

of g"neialiti-s on good government and

to all parties ; but it piefeents a pitabie
spectacle of desperation in attempting
to eD'.ist the sympathy and suppopt of
ths laborir.g c!ass.-s by appealing to

or m.mopo y-nurturing tariff. I; partly
Lelicvts that there shou'd be a reduction
of the calicnalrev?nu but, if so, would
make the nettled reduction by repaiir.z

however, the national revenue increases
too rapidly under its oppressive ptotect
ive tystero, it would nuke a correspond-
neotai ex-

tious. In the same breath it professes
to tie deeply concerned in the interest of
labor at.d gives its unqualified support to
a sysltm that robs the employe for the
bent-Si of tbe employer. It has nothing
but condemnation for President Cleve
land and his administration and gives
the men who abandoned tbe Republican
peirty in 1"SI and joined the Dt-mocrats
that they have des- rted

The Blander ol the IMatform.
There were loud calls, commencing as
soon as the full Bigniticance of the Chi
cago platform dawned on the people, for
its amendment. Outside the trust and
monopoly interest, and those localities
where it is controlling, the declarations,
especially on tax and revenue questions,
have been received with coldness or
downright disapproval. The anti-saloon
llepubhcmus are on the warpath
I cause the pVform expresses no sym
pathy forlbrrmuch aJve'tised pancea,
while il Joes favor the repeal of the
whiskey tax. A leading ew Jersey
ltepublican, Malor Pangborn, when in
terviewed by a iVv repnter on his his
way home from Chicago, said :
1h party has made a blunder In tbe plat
form, and they may mmke enough mistakes
belore they are thronch to bring down de
feat. 1 was before tbe platform com iuif.ee
and diJ my best to get them to lcert the
paragraph aktd for by anti-naloon Itn
puhlicang la regard to protilbition in the
htatea, 1 aruueit that they wotilJ only bo in
dorsing a Itepub'.lcan law which bad been
appiovedby theSnpreme Court of tt United
States, benator Karwell said eueh a plank
would cost th less of Michigan. lie Is re
sponsible for this omi!-lon in the pla'forui,
and I don't carp how plainly voa state it.
but there is a big kick, and F:k and his
party are ehurEliug, so I think they will yet
a.lopt the plank.
Tbe Chicago Tribune of Sunday in its
leading editorial, stated "that earnest
llpub!icans generally are greaily dis
gusted with the free-whisky plank of
the party platform adopted by the con
vention. They say emphatically that it
will hare th effect of driving away
thousands of Eepublican in s.iin States
where they can't be spared." The
Tribune therefore appeals to the con
vention 4"to correct the shocking blun
der" that has been made in this free
whisky matter and vote to retain the
tax as the basis of a service ptbsion to
Union veterans. It goes oa :
Tho Democrats In their platform of 1RSJ
pledged the Internal revenues as a pension
fund tor soldiers. This pledge is renewed
by tb Democratic platform of this year.
Shall It bn ald that the Kepublican party is
les mindful of the services of the hard
finhting patriots of the war for the Union,
not yet pensioned ? Or cau it bo that the
purpose is to plnce a heavy tax on the far
mers and manufacturers of the country for
service pensions, is order that wni.iky
may be cheap? The suggestion is repugnant
to the history, morals and traditions ot the
party; but it is the Inference from this
amazingly bunded McKinley platform.
It is comfortable to se our friend
the enemy no longer distressed over
Democratic Menders, but worrying
themselyps over the self-con fe?sed blun
ders of their own party. I5ut they are
blunders with malice and aforethought
in the interest of trust and monopoly.
Ky ieeiling the tax on whiskey it is
hoped to prevent tariff reform and re
duced the taxas on tbe necessaties of
life. That is the rai'k in the cocoanut.
nt'.sburj Posf, June 14.
The Party or Rcactlou.
The reactiotiary and unreasonable
rharicter of the Republican platform,
and the present attitude of that party
respecting monopoly tariff. i3 fully es
tablished by Ii-pub!ican official and par
ly records.
All recollect th? message of In
which I'rcsident Arthur opposed tho
repoal of the Internal revenue tax on
whiskey and tobacco, and urged a re
vision of the tariff by a reduction of du
ties as necessary for the relief of ail the
people.
The recommend itions of Secretaries
McCulloch and Foler were equally defi
nite. The former asked for reduction
of the duties on articles ti'ied or consu
med by thosa who were less able to bear
th- burdens of taxation, while the lat
tei ins;sd u;ku "a careful revision of
the tariff with a view to substantial re
ductions." No IpnMiean leader from Lincoln
to Grfleid has favored the monstrous
doctrine that the tariff must always
suml at the exiremH high point fixed
Ly IL t. ecessif.es of war ; that it mu.t
remain as an ir.rumbus not only upon
the living necessities of tha jieople. but
upon the niateri iis and supplies used in
our facto-ies. The proposition that the
tax on whiskey hMiid be relaxed cr
abtilished in prefer'nc to a change in
the dutv on woo's essntial to the
mauulncrure of chea clothing and
carpets is one that no Republican states
man would ha?e dared to further at any j
predion titr
The Tariff Commission took strong
ground in favor of a reduction of many
duties, and of an entire revision, such
as Democrats now fvor. It retched
this conclusion after a careful inquiry
into the existing conditions of Ameri
can production and manufacture. The
object of the Tariff Commission vras to
save the tariff. But the expeit men
who composed it had the acumen to
p.r(.,jve that
the system thy desired
to favor could only be kept in force by
such corcessions and ameliorations as
Democratic legislators now propose.
As tar back as IST'J ."senator Morrill,
who may be called the itther of the
Republican protective nystem, said :
It is a mistake of the f i ienrt-; of a sound
tariff to insist upon the extrem rate im
posed during the war, ir less will raise the
necessary revenue.
Bat the course reprobated by Senator
Morrill Is precisely tiie course that the
li -DaOIicftn tirtv in n,tvr Mirninir Tt
insists, by its Platform, thit am rmn
osion to reduce the tariff is "free
trade." And the Republican party in
Corgress actually looks with favor on
nroposit ious to advance duties on such
living necessities as implements and
nensils made of tin plate. X. Y.

Ihe Republican Flat Tor in.
"While the Republican platform is un
mistakably in favcr of extreme Protec
tion it has no ringing sound. It hickstbe
directness and confidence ot tbe utter
ances of the Democratic platform in
indication of tbe policy of Tax Reduc
tion and Tariff Revision as upheld in
President Cleveland's Message and
embodied in the Mills Bill. It talks
about the "destruction" of "the Amer
ican system of Protection' by "the
President and Lis party ;" charges them
with serving the interests of Europe ;
denounces the MiMi bill as "destructive
to the General business, the labor and
tbe farming interests of the country,"
and has a serarate condemnation of
free wool. But it is dumb about "Free
Trade" and about the "wages of labor"
which the Democratic reduction cf tax
ation aud cheapening of the necessities
of life, we were told, were to cut down
to the rate of the "pauper labor of Eu
rope."' Compared vcith Mr. Blaine's
cable message in reply to 1'resident
Cleveland's letter the platform in point
of strength is as milk and water to al
cohol. Indeed, the Republican platform prac
tically indorses the Democratic iosit ion,
that Tax Reduction and Tariff Revi
sion are n necessity. It declare? in fa
vor of reducing the national Revenue
by repealing the internal-revenue taxes
on tobacco and spirits not for consumes
tion and by a "revision of the tariff."
But the tariff is to be revised by the
imposition of prohibitory duties ou such
articles as are made here, which would
raise their cott to the American consu
mer for the benefit of tbe monopolist,
and by the free admission of articles
which cannot l? produced at homt. If
this does not sufficiently reduce the re
venue the platform declares for free
whiskey rather tbau for cheap necessi
ties of life, provided the later are pro
duced or manufactured by the protected
classes here.
The tameness of the tariff portion of
the platform indicates a division in the
party on the question of high Protection,
aud en unwillingness to go to the people
without some sort of a pretense in favor
of reducing taxation and rev.sine the
war tariff.
The remainder of the platform is of
the usual character. The teop!e have
heard again and again at convention
time that tbe Republicans uphold an
honest ballot, oppose monopoly, de
mand that the public domain ehall not
be squandered on railroads, denounce
the "twin relic" and favor Civil Service
Reform. But did they eer know these
professions to be put into practice dur
ing cear'y a quarter of a century of Re
publican ascendancy ? JT. Y. World.
Business Dangers and Naf?gimrds.
We have heretofore spoken of manv
reasons why the voters of the LTnited
States ought to tlemnd a continuance
of Democratic administration in power.
They should Le potential with all Amer
ican financiers and business men who
are not willing to invite a deluge ture
to come in their own t'me in return for
the elusive p:o6t3 of a few months
speculation.
Speculators are of little account in
American life except as indicators of the
general weal or woe. But when accu
mulated capital refrains from perma
nent investment, speculation is dull
only because money is ready to
loaned but from day. to day, and those
who own it are afraid to put :i into
legitimate channels of permanent invest
ment that bring sure and stable return.
Observance of the rohcy and warn
ings of Manning and the prudence in
administration of Fairchild will load
our solid business men to the support of
D-mocratic policy. Only kite flyers and
extortionists seek gain through the in
ordinate profits that come in uncertain
and troubled times.

At Canton, China, some 230,000 people
live continually upon boats aud many never
ttep foot on shore from one year's end to
another. The young children have a habit
of continually falling overboard and thus
cause a great deal of trouble in effecting a
rescue, while in many instances this is im
possible and a child is drowned. China is
an over-populated country and the Cninesa
have profited by this drowning proclivity In
reducing the eurplns population. They at
tach floats to the male children so that thev
can be fished out when they tumble into the
river.

At Canton, Me., a pair of robins and
a pair of sparrows, each had a nest and
a brood of young in the shrubbery near Na
hum Moore's front door. A crow destroyed
the young robins and tbe mate who defend
ed theta, leaving the mother robin discon
solate and in pitiful mourning, boon after.
It was discovered that the robin mother
was brooding the young sparrows, bestow
ing npon them the tenderest care, while
tbe elder sparrows bring food and guard the
borne. Thus these happy relations seem to
continue without a Jar, as though the three
attendants were a common necessity in
rearing the family.
Thursday morning of last week as the
Central train was going into Atlanta at 8
o'clock, and as it was Bearing tue city, a
spark from the engine flew In at one of the
car windows and fell on a lady's skirt In
a few moments the car was full of smoke.
but the occupants, thinking It was from a
hot box. paid no attention to It, and in a
few minutes the fire blazed up from tbe
dress, and all saw then what was tbe mat
ter, A gentleman rushed to the lady's as
sistance, and in a few momenta bad extin
guished the blaze. Tbe young lady wa3
nearly scared to death, and fainted, but
was brought around all right.
Information from Pittsburgh Is to the
effect that the Iron wage scale will be signed
this week, and that there will be neither a
strike nor a shut down. The workmen of
tbe Amalgamated Association will recede
from many of their demands on account of
the dullness in the iron trade, and the manu
facturers will also make concessions on sev
eral classes of work, but will throw out all
extras. This will leave wazee oraeticallv
unchanged, or, at most, not more than 5 per
cent, lower all around, anS will avert tbe
threatened Idleness for fifty thousand work
people. The three months 6but-down pro
posed by the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers was evidently not
made with any expectation or desire that it
would be accepted.
Two men stopped at the farm house of
Samuel Humbert, in Monongahela, West
Va., a night or two ago. As soon as Hum
bert opened tbe door the men rushed in.
knocked him down and bound him. Hum
bert denied having any money, when the
men gagged him and went through the
boose tearing open drawers and closets and
even ripping up the carpets. " As Humbert
continued to deny having money the fiends
built a fire in the grate and, draeglug tfce
old man close to it, placed his feet within a
few Inches of the flames, blistering and lit
erally roasting them. Findimt tbey could
get nothing out ef Humbert they left him
still tied by the fire and fled. Humbert fin
ally succeeded In relieving himself of the
gag and rolling away from tbe fire. He is
terribly burned and may lose both feet, if
not his life.
While at a neighbor's a few days aco.
Mi. George W. Fisher, of Independence.
Kan., heard a racket out in tbe kitchen.
and, going out to investiuate tte cause.
found that a large rattlesnake bad crawled
into the kitchen was fastened in the han

There were some ecsrs and a In; on th
floor when tbe bnake crawled into tne house.
and it swallowed one of the eggs, and as the
jug was lying on its side, had crawled
through the handle as far as the egg be had
swallowed would admit, and finding ans
other egg convenient as he crawled through
the handle of the jug, swallowed that egg
also, aud as tbe egg was too large to pass
through tbe bandls of tbe lug. Mr. Snake
was fastened so he could neither move fore
ward or backward, there beinc an est? in.
side of him on either side of the jug handle.
A paity of sixteen ladies and gentlemen
hired a steam yacht and left Newarx, X. J..
at eight o'clock last Monday evening. It
being flood tide, the jetty at the mouth of
ine bay was eoveied with water. The
pilot had scarcely got bis bearings when he
heard a sharp grating sound and, realizing
that he was on the Jetty, stopped the en
gine. Several of the male passengers jump
ed over on the jetty and in doing so tbe
boat lurched and slid off into deep water.
The girls then made a rush Tor the side of
the boat. This cause ber to keel over sud
denly and in a sesond she turned bottom
side up. The air was Immediately filled
with screams for help from a score of per
sons struaallng for their lives in the water.
Tbe cries were heard at Greenville and
other poiuts on the bay and rescuers soon
went to tbe scene of tte accident But
when the boats arrived it was found that
six of the party had been swept away and
drowued.
A double tragedy occurred at Indianap
olis, ind on last Sunday evening at 6
o'clock. Henry Baker Is farmer, fifty-
miee years oia, living north of this city.
He has a young and pretty daughter, to
wbora George Iong, a young farmer In that
vaclnity, has been pajing his addresses and
tbe old man has seriouely objected to the at
tachment Last evening Albert, tbe young
woman's, brother, met Long and Insisted
that he should cease calling upon his 6fster.
The two finally had a fight with uo particu
lar damage to either. Young Baker went
borne and told his father of the encounter,
which so incensed the latter that he Imme
diately hunted up Long. Tbe two met on
the highway. From words they came to
blows and from blows to pistols. Baker
disarmed Long, shot him, and when tbe lat
ter fell started away from the scene. Long
staegered up seized the pistol, and shot
Baker through the heart, killing bim in
stantly. Long was dying at midnight.
There is a spring on Weyman's farm, in
Lewis county. W. Va., which, by its pecu
liar freaks, is attracting much attention. At
times tbe water suddenly disappears, leav
ing a dry hole of unfathomable depth?
nours, and occasionally days, pass without
any change, when suddenly, with a rush
and roar, a great volume of water issues
from the hole, propelled by a pressure of
gas which throws It 25 feet Into tbe air.
The noise of tbe escaping gas and water can
be beard over a long dhtance. An Ignited
match, after night, will create a display of
flashing light and fountains of water exquis
itely beautiful and plainly distinguishable
at a great distance. It is reported that the
epring would furnish gas sufficient, If stored,
to supply a town of 40,000 inhabitants!
The strangest part of the phenomena Is tbe
fact that previous to the great Southern
earthquake In 1886 there was no eign of a
epring on the spot where It now stands, aud
that on the morning subsequent a subterra
nean disturbance on the spot was seen and
felt, followed by a sudden collapse of earth
and the appearance and rush of water and
gas, wbicu has become regular In Its
sp-
TCaraLCfc recession.
