' decision to General Harilson, he wrote ss follows:
? l'.ellevlng lt possible for a disappointed candldato
lo render to a succsseful rival sincere and hearty con?
gratulations, 1 know you will accept mine."' Central
1 ll ai ri son received the caucus nomination, and on
January 18 he received the full Republican vote
1 lu each house of the Legislature. The election was
impleted on thc following day In the joint conven?
tion.
Ills term of six yeats as Senator of the United States
established General Harrison's reputation as a sound
and enlightened statesman, and a ready, finished and
powerful debater. The more his record lu tho
Senate bs studied, tho clearer appears his claim to a
high place among law-makers. His Dakota report
and tjioechCB, bis speech on the Ldiuuuds resolution
i-oiicci mi.g Civil Service reform, his speech condemning
tho wholesale Immigration of contract labor, anil hrs
. Ipaoehaa against alien ownership ol barga tract* of tho
National domain Indicate tho broad Hues along which
, his activities manifested themselves. His record on
tho Chinese question needs nothing moto than this
; simple statement to show the folly of those who once
distrusted him on that BMBB1 When tho first Chinese
bill was before the Senate he opposed certain fealui-es
of lt, bocnuse he thought they were in conflict arith
the provision* of existing treaties; but ho moved to
anteud those portions of Ihe bill so that they might
be In accord with his view of the treaties mentioned.
Those who wore In favor of ibo bill
steadily ? voted tht amendments down,
aud In oi-der ho maintain bis consistency
emeral Harrison was thus obliged to vote against tho
bill, which finally passed over tho President's toto.
When the next Chinese bill was before ihe Senato,
General Harrison was absent and did not get a chance
\ to voto upon lt. When the next bill carno before
, tho Senate?the ono commonly called the Bago bill
it was intoned BO the Committee on Foreign Relations,
; of whleh ho was then a member. That OOBtmlttee
I unanimously voled to leant* tho bill favorably.; i leo
j eral Harrison voting with tho other members of tho
committee. When it carno before tho Senate lt waa
' passed, General Harrison voting for lt. Mr. Fair said
' lu tho Senate that "this was by all means the baal
Chinese bill which had boen proposed," and ofti?i
I wiso spoke tn high terms of the bill. Thus General
Harrison was from Ital to last In favor ol the princi?
ple n n dei lying the Chinese legislation.
always faithful. to thk cause of honest
money.
One of General ttORtaoafa strongest titles to public
:' respect and admiration ls found in the fact that when
l tho Inflation craze bp read over tho country and swept
! from their moorings many who havo Biaes lived tu
j regret their Infatuation, ho never wavered in bl3
i lioclity to i ne cause of honest money. His position
' on thc question of Civil Berries reform lt Indicated
by the following BSntsaeea from tho speech with
j which he opened the Indiana campaign of IBM! " i
: want to assui-o you to-night that I am an advocate
of Civ ll S'-rvice reform. My brief nperleaet at 'A r. ii
' lngton has lcd me often to utter tho with with an
: Sflsphaatt I do not often use that I might ba forever
rostered of any BBnneeUBB with tha distribution of
j public pntrunago. I covet for myself the fit* and
aaparchasod rapport od my bilton rltlioai. and long io
be aide io give my time and energy solely to Iho-e
pnbltl Batalra that legitimately relate to the honorable
trust which you have committed lo me.'' In tho
course of the same speech, In replying to Senator Voor
hce.s's claim to bo " Ihe soldier's friend,'' General
Harrison gave utterance to thees earnest void:-,
which seem to apply as well to his competitor In tho
present eaaspatgn: "The man who lived through tho
War of ibo Kebelllon ami did rn t BsabS tome secrl
flee for the saaaaaa of thc Union armies?who dill Bot
say ono brave word, or do one biavo Hung, when,
with bare and bleeding breasts, our soldiers loolicd
Into the faeo of hell for their country?can novcr be
Bashrtaed as the soldier's friend."
General Harrison's term in the Senate expired
March 4, lt*.1-", and the Legislature to choose
Ids successor was to be elected lu
tho fail of ians." "Tho history of
thal campaign," says "Tho Indianapolis Journal," "ls
still fresh lu thu minds of tho people, lt was In a
large degree Ce-neial Harrison's campaign. Though
ot leis wcio good f-econds and able aaslstsnta he was
foremost In tho fight. When others wavered oe ad
vam.-d, when they lost heart he expressed OonAdeaoe.
Ho was almost tho only prominent Republican In
Indiana who felt confident of carrying the stale, or
Who thought lt worth while even to attempt to carry
the l.'-mslaiure. Tait ls no disparagement of other Re
publlcan leaders, who did yeoman sorTlco In the cam?
paign, bat it bi a tosh The result attested Qenetal
Harrison's witdom and hi* work Tho republicans car?
ried tho State and came within a hair's breadth of
eanytng tlie Legislature, though the apportionment bad
be?n gerrymandered so as to give tho Democrats at least
forty-six majority on Joint ballot, and Senator Voor
hces said Ire should feel personally dip graced if that was
not the result."
HIS RETURN TO THE HAR.
Upon his retirement from public life la-t year, General
H.arr son once more devoted hiinscll heart and soul to tlie
laborious but congenial duties of lils profes-don. of
General Harrison as a lawyer In the full maturity of
his powers bis old partner, the Hon. W. P. ilibhach,

in rare combination. He picjiareti a case with consum?
mate skill; ld. written pleadings ait; models of clear
asea and brevity; ho is pseateaa In Indiana as an ex?
aminer of witnesses, bo discusses a legal question lu a
written brief or IB oral argument with convincing
logie, and as an advocato lt may bo said ot him that
when ho has finished an address to a jury nothing ri
mains to l.o said on that side of tho ease. I have often
heard abbi lawyers lu Ind.ana and elsewhere say thal
ai the hardest man to follow they had ever Batt,
No lawyer who ever mot General Harrison In a l^g.d

yean later, in lc-iu, he moved to lin-ton and banana!
a member of the dryajooda timi of Beena, Marton ?v

HIS SUCCESSFUL CAREER AS A BANKER.
Mr. Morton, not In the lea.st discouraged, estab?
lished a banking hmise lu lABS, lie niado BtOBey
rapidly, ami aaah attained ptontlnanee m laaacla]
circles. One day tho lare ercditois of the finn if
Moiton <fc OrtaneO roeelved an invitation from Mr.
Morton tn dine with him. When they gat down at
dannnt each man found beneath bis plate a check
signed by Mr. Moiton for an amount of money thal
paW their clelm In full with limiest. Mr. Morton
was not legally bound to pay tha money, and his
honorable conduct in tbe matter therefore won him
many friends. In i.?(5g George miss entered th" firm
a'.l lt bis anio known hy Its pron-nt title of Morton,
lills-s i Co. The aaaaa year USS, Mr. .Morton
foumied the Lrakdea aaaaa af Morton, Boee <t co., hit

nance Minister of Canada. These two banking houses
were largoly lii-irunienta! lr. making resumption of

enabling the Government to fund the (Tatted Bt

t.??rwt'd by Morion, miss ,fc Co., and then followed
tho name* of Drexel, Morgan & Co., Haring Rrothers

The credit of the Government was low at the lime,
but the finns named above successfully floated a
large Issue of o ix-r oem bonds, thus decreasing tho
rate of interest on the mass of tho bonds, lt bxs
baan estimated that the various banking Arma by
Heir action at this time saved the Government B70
