QEKEItAL UE2MAMIJI HABIUSON. General Benjamin Harrison, i the Rcpub- Una nnmlneu for President. Is the son of John, Scott Harrison and grandson of Will iam Henry Hafilson, ninth President of the United States. The Harrison cmlsrat d to Virginia during the rclun of Charles II., where Benjamin Harrison, the great-grand-father of tho Kopubllcan candidate, was a member of tho House of Burgesses and of which lie-Jwas one of the reprcsenta trres In tho Continental Congress. This Benjamin Harrison was not only a signer of the Declaration of Independcnc, but a momhor of tho Virginia convention to ratify tho Federal Constitution. Ho died in 1701. His son, William Henry Harrison, fought under Wayno in tho Northwest Tarritorv In 1792. and becamo Secretary of the Territory In 1707. "ills military career was a distinguished one, and his public earcer, ending with his election to tho Presidency In 1810, was respectable. John Scott Harrison was a member of Cosgress from.l853tol857. Young Ben jamjn was only seren years old when his grandfather was elected President, forty-eight years ago, haying been born In tho famous log cabin on the Harrison farm at North licnu, Ohio, August 20, 1833. Young Benjamin Harrison was educated at the Miami University, from which ho was graduated at the age of eighteen. After leaving collego he studied law In the office of Judge Stover, in Cincinnati, and was admitted to the bar in 1854, before ho had attained his majority. Tho next Tear ho took up his resldenco at Indianapolis, whero he began tho practice of bis profes sion. In tho campaiRn of 1800 he was ono of tho leading Republican orators In his State. He had been nominated for Re porter of the Supreme Court of Indiana and was elected. Ho served In this posi tion for more than a year, but the war fever became too strong for him, and in July, 1802, he raised a regiment and was commissioned colonel of the Seventeenth Indiana by Governor Morton. Colonel Harrison with his regiment began service 1 Kentucky and Tennessee. Ho was brevetted brigadier general for gallant con duct -at Resaca, and earned a full kngadlcr shlp at Peach Tree Creek. General Harri son served with credit until the end of tho war, and was with his command at the final grand review at Washington In 1605. General Harrison was again elected Re porter of tho Supreme Court of Indiana in 1884.1 Ho served out his term, but declined a re-election In 1803 and devoted himself entirely to his practice In tho courts. In 1870 ho was tho Republican candidate for Governor of Iadlana, but was beaten. Ills candldaturo at that time was a forlorn hope, GodloveS. Orth, who had been nwalnated, having withdrawn from tho ticket. Four years later, or In 18S0, tho Republicans succeeded In obtaining a majority in tho Indiana Legislature and .then Harrison was rewarded for his self-sacrlDce in 1870 by being elected to the United States Sen ate. , Upon tho expiration of his term he resumed the practice of his profession, but he ls.now again brought out from his re tirement to become tho gtandard-bearer of his party In the impending campaign. General Harrison's career has been a redltablo one. As a soldier he was courage ous and faithful, but ho evinced no great military qualities. In public life he was always a thoroughgoing party man. In tho Senate ho always acted with the majority, but he was never an extremist. In two re spects he Is said to bo tho opposite of Blaine he docs not tare to shake hands and has a poor memory for names and faces. Although he has had a good prac tice at tho bar General Harrison is not rich. .Mrs. Harrison is a daughter of Sro fessor Scott of his old college, tho Miami University. LEVI TABSONS MOltTOK. As in the nomination of the lato Prcsi dent Arthur the Republican party, when it goes to New York for a candldato for the Vice Presidency, seeks one born in Vermont. Ley! P. Mertota first saw the light a Stonoham, JUa.y 10, 1821. After re- celving the ordinary education of a Green Mountain boy, Mr. Morton engaged In business as a merchant at Hanover, N. H., but In 1850 he removed to Boston, and In 1854 to New York. In 1803 he engaged In the banking business in New York and London, the American house being known as Morton, Bliss & Co., and the English house a Morton, Rose & Co. Mr, Morten has taken an active part in New York politics for many years, and was tUa confidential adviser of several successive Republican administrations in . , matters affecting our foreign relations, This was especially the case at the time the presentation of tho Alabama claims was Inpreparatlon for the Geneva Tribunal, Mr. Morton was elected to the Forty-sixth Congress but he retired In March, 1881 to become Minister to France. Ii was asserted at the time that President Garfield had .promised to make him Secretary of tho Treasury but substlnted the French Mission. Mr. Morton continued as Minister to Franee until 1885 when he was succeeded by Minister JcLane. It has been general ly understood that he was ambitious to represent New York in the Senate of the United States. Mr. Morton has been out of business for a number of years. Ho Is a man of very large means. haved. Under the lnfluonco of "Am brosia" this swarm of humanity are usual ly rough, unmanageable and exceedingly quarrelsome. This was particularly the caso last Sunday, when fighting and Insult lug fellows were largely on the rnmpago. In ono of theso fights that occurred noth ing less than brickbats would do. Tho result was that ono young man by the name of Slempcr had his skull crushed. Ho got Into n quarrel with a young man by the name of .May about Insulting sotno women. Slempcr, who boro a bad reputation, com menced to assail May Mtu a club, and as a matter of self defenco May had to resort to the samo tactics j tho result of this was that Slempcr was killed. The shortest way out of this unfortnnato occurrence for May was to deliver himself to tho officers of the law. This he did. If tho oyidonce adduced at tho coroner's Investigation Is Indlcatlvo of anything tho culprit will go freo or get off with a nominal punishment. It is an tin fortunate occurrenccand unless Jersey jus tlco will interfere more stringently to govern tho swarms of human beings at Gloucester on a Sunday more such offences can bo ex-pected. The vcrbalgo that has been Issued by the National Republican nartv through tbo Chicago Convention as Its platform, Is enough to mako a man lck. or In tho least crcatn nausea. It Is a combination of rot and false pretense from beginning to end. Tho only commendable thins about It is Its unequivocal declaration In favor of protection for protection sake which is clearly unconstltntlonal. In this reaction ary policy the great party clearly says unto a great people, let us surround ourselves as It were with a Chlneso wall. Such a policy as falsely dubbed tho "American policy" would have a similar effect as the non-ln tarcourse with foreign nations had upon China. Dense ignorance, perversive gov ernment and tyranny of the favored classes unon the less favored. This style of Jin colsm inayfdo for the Blalneltes but it will never roet the approbation of the great majority of intelligent American yoters The Philadelphia Evening Herald thu compliments a former Lehlghtonian: "Mr. A. C. Brodhead, a former resident Car bon county, but now an attache of tho Federal service in Philadelphia, is doing tho mountain streams of Monroe county for trout this week, Many a speckled beauty has been hauled by this adept fish erman In tho past." Good for Abe. Tho Fitler boom for President has been a source of much ainusament and ridicule by tho press, politicians and thinking peo ple of both parties. It goes without con tradiction that Fltler's head Is more easily swelled than that of any known man in Philadelphia. It Is but a few short years ago when his excellency Edwin the First, of Philadelphia, was called upon by three politicial bums, through Sharpless of this city, who represented themselves as dele gates from Berks county to the uuberna- torlal Convention. Fitler had the Gov's bee buzzing, and when these sharpers claimed that they could bring him much support from up tho state providing they were provided with the necessary "boodle," he came down to the tunc of $800. At an other time ho was similarly nailed, and If It had not been for Wm. R. Leeds getting onto it, Fitler would havo been out a few thousand dollars a second time. Fitler has a largo lortnnc.made through the tariff, and docs not hesitate to spend liberally ont of this fortuue to gratify an inordinate politi cal ambition, nis ambition Is so vaulting tliat ho seriously aspired to the Presidential persimmon, and for a man of so small abll- llty this is rather cheeky. But since boodle" Is the thing and themeof Repub lican statesmanship these days, ho would havo suited the standard. Special to the Cahbon Advocate. BROADBRIM'S I I LETTER. Special to the Cardon .Advocate. OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER Philadelphia Pa.. June 20, '83 The suggestion of Hon. Alfred Short, of Erie county, for Auditor General by the Advocate, on the Democratlcstate ticket, has since been earnestly advocated and edl- torlally indorsed by such Influential Demo cratic papers as the Chester county Demo crat, Bellfonto Watchman, Scranton Free Priu, Johnstown Democrat, Delaware Dtmocrat, Philadelphia Evening raid, Ue and favorably noted in a rcportorlal sense by a number o' other papers. The Eten tng Herald In commenting on the Adto gate's support of Short recognlzii t (the Advocate) as one ot the most Influential and widely circulated papers In eastern Pennsylvania. The support accorded to Mr. Short in such a heaity manner is very gratifying, and speaks for the perception of the Democratic press in knowing a coot man when he Is available. Our congratu lations to the Advocate and to the Hon. Alfred Short. Every large city has somewhat of an an nex. These annex's usually afford a means for an outing to a great crowd from the cities, particularly so ou Sunday, Thus, Gloucester City on the banks of the Dela ware Is to Philadelphia what Caney Island Is to New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City Gloucester on a Sunday Is crowded and Jammed with a sweltering crowd from Philadelphia. It is as a rule none of the choicest of the populace nor ot tho best be The brutality of the prize-ring Is a favor ite theme for the virtuous writers of the moral press, and the barbarism of bull fighting finds no words sufficiently strong for its condemnation In the English langu age. I have watched the prize-ring for forty years and I have only known of two cases where men have been killed in tiiese desperate encounters. Ono was Tom SJc- Coy, who was killed at Hastlngs-on-tho Hudson In 1841 by Chris. Lilly, and the other occurred a few months ago when an unfortunate printer was killed by a single blow by "Swipes tho Newsboy." Within five years over twenty deaths haye occurred on tho different raco-courses of tho United States In the dangerous past- time ot stecplechaslng. Talk about a Gladi ator dying to make a Roman holiday I Those young riders, most of them mere boys, all mangled and bleeding aro borne from the course in the presence of thous. ands and laid on the straw at the back of the stables to die, and tho next raco is called and tho mad whirl of excitement sweeps on, as though the Inhuman sacri fice) was of a bruto aud not a man made In tho image of God. This week adds three to tho death-roll, and It Is only a few weeKs ago since I recorded a similar sacrifice at Jerome Park. At last the public seems fully allye to the heartless butchery and danger of the sport, and we hope that the present season will put an end to it in the United States. In o paper hunt at ll'ash Ington a fashionable snob, who was a mem ber of one tho foreign legations, put his shoulder out of joint and nearly broke his neck. He, ho wcver, was riding for fun; ho was not trying to make a living like the unfortunate jockies who were killed. Still it only shows the danger of the cruel sport, even when practiced by fashionable fools. Brooklyn still remains a fine field for missionary labor. No need to go to the Fcejees or the Congo. Last week a Ger man woman named Knoll and a brute by tho name of Collyer were arrested for a crime which fortunately has no parallel In this country, Mrs. Knoll Is a widow with three children, girls, aged five, seven and eleven. Collyer boarded with her, and she gave .him the eleven-jear old girl for his wife In consideration of his getting the other two children Into the Sheltering Arms. By means of au air-shaft that ran through the house the neighbors became aware of the Inhuman bargain, and the mother and her paramour were arrested, The children were taken care of by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and let us hope that the Inhuman monsters who wero parties to this lnlqult ous bargain will receive tbelr just deserts, Five thousand Excise cases pigeon-holed In the office of the District Attorney. What for? you ask, IKell, you sec, thereby hangs a tale. Every man In New York who keeps a whtskcj-mlll Is a potent factor In our city politics. Lty this down as an axiom. That one first-class saloon Is worth politically, the influence of a dozen church es. Jl'bcn the election takes place they do their work, and when it s oyer they claim their reward. Fatty Walsh, with the record of -a gambler and a saloon-keeper, gets to be an Alderman, nd finally becomes the keeper of our principal prison, and he heM the place against all comers and against all proteit, till finally, detected In a flagrant caso ot blackmail, ho is forced down and out. But ho is no sooner out than he starts another saloon. He knows Us power, ho has been thero before, and In six months from this llme;l expect to seaFatty's saloon tho political head-quarters of tho Sixth ll'ard. Whllo these five thousand Indict ments are held In the office of District At torney, every Indicted saloon-keeper Is his friend. He will work for tho District At torney llko a beayer at tho polls, and ho will work for the ticket that tho District Attorney fayors. Just think of flvo solid reglmonts of saloon-Keepers, hut every man of them has n following of from ton to a hundred. Thev are the chairmen of tho ll'ard Associations, managers of tho clam bakes and plc-nlcs, tho Muldoon Fuslleers, tho McNally Guards, tho Stickleback Rangers, and kindred associations with which this city Is cursed. Judge Barrett summoned a special Grand Jury to see If It was possible to clear tho docket. But when tho jury was summoned, at great expense to tho county, the District Attorney was junketing at St. Louis; and, as though that Was not enough of time to steal from tho city, when the convention was over ho went to St. Taul to visit sqme of his relations. Meanwhile tho wheel of justice were paralyzed tor a million and a half of people. When asked why ho absent ed himself iiom his duty, for which ho was drawing his pay, llko Tweed, ho turns to the people of Now York and Bays, "What aro you going to do about It?" Wo shall have an election one of theso days, and when that time comes I don't think Mr Fellows will haye to ask that question twice. The week closes the last chapter In the romance of Robert Townsend, who, oyer a year ago, married his cook Mary Aim Murphy, under very peculiar circumstances, On H'ednesday his will was filed In tho Surrogate's Court. A year ago Mr. Town send was Hying In an elegant mansion at nuntlngton with a lovely and accomplished lady who passed In society as Mrs. Town- send. Mrs. Townsend engaged at au In telligence office In Brooklyn a stout, rosy Irish girl, fresh from tho "Ould Dart," as cook. Matters went on swimmingly for a couple of months, Mr. Townsend keeping his clay well soaked with good old rye whiskey, leaving Mrs. Townseud in full command of tho establishment. One day Mrs. Townsend made a visit to New York, and whllo sho was gouo Mr. Townsend made love to tho cock and offered her his hand aud all that thereto belonged. He Informedher that the supposed Mrs. T. had no legal claim to his person or his name, and he was willing to bestow both on Miss Murphy from Tlpperary. Then came the hitch. He was a Protestant and slio was a Catholic, and It was Lent, and that noth Ing but a dispensation trom the Bishop of Brooklyn could bridge tho dfflculty. Fath er Riley, the parish priest, saw a chance to make Miss Murphy a millionaire, and knowing that such golden fruit is not pick ed fiom every huckleberry bush, he tele graphed down to tho Bishop that it was a caso of pressing necessity. Ho got the dis pensation, and that afternoon Miss Mary Ann, spinlster, became Mrs. Robert Town send and tho mistress of the manor. When the original Mrs. Townsend got hack from New York thero was an earthquake, but Mary Ann was equal to the occasion. She had, as sho said, her surttficket in her pocket, which tho other lady had not. So sho bundled her neck and crop out of the back door. Word finally reached Bishop Longhlln that Father Tim had imposed on him In getting tho dispensation, and that Robert Townsend was drunk as a piper on the day ho was married. To say that the good bishop was road is putting it very mild. Ho could not untie tho knot, but he sent for Father Tim and gaye him an ecclesiastical keelhauling that he will not be likely to toigetas longas be lives Robert Townsend belonged to one of the most aristocratic families in Connect! cut. He was horn to a large forfme. He was a graduate of Yale; a Union clubman, ayachtman, and ageneinl howling swell. Mary Ann Jfurphy is about ajear and a half from tho bogs, and knows as much about the three R's as tho man In the moon But that's nothing. She Is a lady now; and she that left tho old country less than a couple of years ago with her worldly effects rolled up in a pocket handkerchief, can now go back to Tipperary wid a sail- skin sack and a kammel's shawl, and she can ride from Donegal to Connemara In hcrownkubaa, with a pair of diamonds hanging In her ears as big as a street lamp. Lucky Mary Annl Robert Town send left her a clear one-third of his pro perty in lieu of dower, and as she Is still fair to look upon and in tolerably good repair, sho will he quite a catch when she gets back to Ireland. Another servant girl got off with $100,000 belonging to old John Gill. She fought the whole family; kicked sons and daugh tcrs out of doors, captured all of old GIH'i money and fled to England. She was brought back by requisition two week ago, Tho courts discharged her, and with her stolen money In her pocket she sails back to England In triumph. At last justice has overtaken the mean thief, John R. Dunn, who adylsed Scott, the paying teller ot tho Manhattan Bank, to steal a million when he found himself defaulter for a fow thousauds. Scott had been brought up In the bank; he had been In Its employ for twenty years; he had risen from the position of a clerk to that of navicc teller, with a fair prospect one day reaciuug tue presiuency. in an evil hour no cot acquainted witn a .woman of the town, on whom ho lavished the thousands he stole from the bank. By false entries lie concealed his peculation for several years. At last, wheu he could do so no longer, he consulted his friend Lawver Dunn, who was his wife's cousin Scott's defalcation wa9 only $10,000. Dunn listened to the story ot the ruined camester, and then advised him to steal a million and leave the settlement to him. Scott di take $300,000, out his conscience smote h in stud he put siiu.txw back in the vaults $140,000 ho gavo to Dunn and $10,000 to his paramour, and started for Canada with only a few hundreds, ne escaped to Eng land, and then Dunn pocketed the money, satisfied that tho only witness against him was a confessed thief, who would never daro to appear against him. Scott, driven to desperation, went to our consul. Mr. Walter,in London, and told Ids story. Dunn was arrested about a year ago. The District Attorney allowed Scott to turn State's evidence, and on Iriday Dunn was convicted of grand larceny, and the pre sumption is that the mean thief who tried to rou a liuet will cnu nis uays in suies Prison. BROADBRIM. Two "Ways. Choose Which? ! There are two usual ways of doing what Na ture sometimes does Incompletely, namely, to relievo the bowols.
