THE DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST. THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1888
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. .
A Ticket WVk-b. Make PetnocnUlo Vie- .
torjr Dovbly Cfitald
Excepthig Blaine, the Kepublican eon-
ention rorjld have chosen no presidential
. taadUlata whoa nomination would give ,
greater Mtisfaction to tho Democracy
' than that of Harrison, of Indiana.
' ' Bitterly opposed by an influential wing
' of the Republican party in his own state,
he is even weaker than when the canvass
In which ho was defeated by "Bine Jeans"
Williams fastened upon him the appella
tion of "Kid Ulove Harrison." His course
in congress in championing tho Chinese
invasion of the American industrial world
has earned for him tho hostility of labor
organizations, and rendered utterly hope
less the effort to select Republican electors
in the Pacific states.
In Indiana he will be conspicuously
weaker than Thunnan, the western rep
resentative on the Democratic ticket.
Thunnan is admired and revered by every
Indiana Democrat. Harrison is tho choice
only of tho Republics 1 machine of the
state, in the narrowest sense of the term. '
The Gresham movement was a protest
against Harrisonism strong enough at
home to secure the support abroad of
powerful states like Illinois.
The source and inspiration of the Ores
ham forces ramo from Indiana, cud ex
pressed the sentiments of the Independ
ents, as well as those of that better
element of the Republican party which
was ostracized and silenced by tho re
morseless managers of tho machine. Har
rison will receive in his own state less
than a strict party vote, as tho liberals
and the dissatisfied Republicans, as well
as the Independents, will flock to the
standard of Cleveland and Tburman.
Even within the narrowest lines of his
own party Harrison will be a weak candi
date everywhere. Ho will luck tho
strength that Sherman would have had
in some southern states which are claimed
to be possibly debatable, and the damag
ing record to which Ingalls alluded in his
frankly critical letter will prevent hearty
co-operation of Republican workers in his
support. From adopted citizens ho can
expect nothing but the active hostility
due to an old time proscriptionist.
Personally, Harrison represents nothing
except a species of aristocratic pretension
to which the American people do not take
kindly, and which becomes specially
dangerous when placed at tho head of the
baser elements in politics.
The support of the great monopoly cor
porations will not impart to the Republi
can nominee sufficient force in tho cam
paign to overcome his unpopularity with
the masses. It will not be forgotten that
it was railroad influence that selected him
in preference to Allison or others who were
favored by localities and influence in
' spired by the popular sentiment known
as the "Granger" spirit.
With a nominee fitly chosen by the
monopoly machine to represent its worst
developments; without tho winning per
sonal qualities that sometimes lend
strength to tho representatives of fail
ing causes; a negative candidato on a
negative platform; tho figurehead of a
reactionary movement against equal
rights and the just protection of Ameri
can labor and civilization Gen. Har
rison will be beaten most disastrously by
the forces of progress and American pros
perity, led for tho second timo to triumph
by Grover Cloveland. New York Star.

' The Tail End of a Weak Ticket.
Mr. Levi P. Morton, the Republican
nominee for vice president of the United
States, has a barrel a hogshead, rather
which has been filled to overfl.vlng by
the sweat of other people's brows.
He has also a villa at Newport., a pork
' - on the Hudson, a house on Fifth avenue
and an office on Wall street. Ho has been
United States minister to Paris, and per
formed tho exhausting functions of that
tasteful office with much amiability to
those intelligent Americans who had
bought letters of credit from his banking
house. He is an entirely gentlemanly r.ud
unobjectionable person, who, with a thor
ough course of Cushing and Barclay,
could undoubtedly be intrusted with tho
advancement of Republican monopolistic
legislation in the United States senate.
On the other hand, Mr. Morton must
suffer because he has no grandfather a
generic mishap which rather weakens his
Americanism as compared with that of
the head of his ticket. Nor has he any
personal identity for the average voter,
because of his awkward habit of trifling
with his mustache and beard. Neither
has he any personal following, because of
his long continued preference for Europe
as a place of habitation... ,
We ore awaro that we make out a weak
case against Mr. Morton, but ho is, or was,
a fellow townsman, and it is our pleasure
so to do. There is no law, moreover,
which compels a vico presidential candi
date to produce a grandfather, and Mr.
Morton's double eagles will soon mako the
peoplo familiar with his influence, if not
with Ms presence, in this campaign.
Upon tho whole, wo believe that Mr.
Levi P. Morton will suffer less, from tho
. disappointment which awaits him than
any candidate tho Republicans could have
selected. New York Star.

A correspondent fcas asked nt far plain
Statement o the Masons for our faith to
the triumphant election of Cleveland, and
Thunnan. We will endeavor to answer
the inquiry briefly, without overstating
anything that tears upon the grounds, .of
our confidence. -
We have aires iy dwelt on the wonder)
ful unanimity oi the Democratic party for
Cleveland, and- -explained -rrar -eonvrrtirrr
that the feeling of the people of the United
States toward the preseut 'president is
akin to that of the masses of Lis support
ers toward Lincoln, after he had been se
verely tried and found true and capable.
The sentiment is one of intimacy between
the peoplo and their chief public servant,
arising out of equal devotion to a com
mon end and sincere effort to promote it
by direct and plain endeavor. No mani
festoes of organizations, no journalistic
puffs, are needed to Introduce Cleveland
to tho people. They know him as a man
knows his next door neighbor or his
brother, and they understand that what
he does he does for them in the way they
would like him to do it. They suspect
him of no ulterior motive, nor of cherish
ing any scheme for the benefit of himself
or anyoneelso but ' the people at large.
They trust him. - They have tried him.
They have found him true, nnd they will
not stop him in the middle of his work.
We believe that this sentiment means
votes to be counted by tho million, and
therefore wo tliink, as we said five months
ago, that in the extent of tho Democratic
majority the result of the national elec
tion of" 1888 will relatively moro closely
resemble that of the state contest in 1883
than the conclusion of the federal elec
toral campaign of 1884.
The result of 1884 was a Democratic suc
cess. From what element can votes now
be drawn to reverse it?
Tho Democratic party is not distracted
by any Important local or factional divi-.
sions, jealousies or secessions, as it was
four years ago. There will be more Demo
cratic votes polled for the ticket this year
than then. Cleveland has gained strength,
and Thunnan Is, to say the least , as pop
ular a candidato as Hendricks was.
As we have seen by recent expressions
of influential independent papers, Thur
man's popularity is not limited by strict
party lines. Independents hail his nomi
nation as the best possible. Republicans
admire him exceedingly. His early oppo-'
sit ion to the Chinese Invasion Tendor him
the favorite of the Pacific coast, and his
steadfast anti-monopoly championship of
popular rights against the jobbery and op
pression of the great corporations has
mode him the idol of workmen and labor
organizations. - .:i
These unquestionable facts : render it
impossible for any fair mind- to see the
slightest ground for Republican hope of
reversing tho national verdict ,of 1884.

' Too Much Grandfather.

Ail honorable lineage is a thing to be
proud of, but not a thing to. boast about,
and it really counts for but little in this
country in tho popular esteem for public
men. Gen. Harrison has a good enough
record of his own to need no bolstering
from his grandfather, who was not a very
great man himself, and in the disposition
to go back two or three centuries and drug

In regard to Harrison's availability, so

there was a genuine popular demand. Mr.

successtul as that I any of. his prede

era of good feeling as the present since
the time of .Monroe. Air. Cleveland camo
to the office the most unknown of all our
presidents, yet he has just been renomi
nated by a unanimity unparalleled in all
our history. Tho conclusion cannot bo es
caped that the era of his administration
has been a most exceptional one. He has
arisen in ; four years from a position of
comparative obscurity to be tho ono pre
eminent leader upon whom is centered the
enthusiastic support of a united, vigorous
and dominant party. '" Under his direction
of affairs tho last traces of sectionalism
havo happily disappeared. The business
of the country has steadily improved slnco
his inauguration iu March,. 1885, and it is
due to his conservative course that what
ever honest fear was felt four years ago
as to tho consequences of a change of
party control at Washington is now- en
tirely removed, .i 'I : I , , : . '. : ' ( ; '

legislat ion', - net? and wise departures In
financial and commercial policy, and lost,

Tho Republican party of this country is

have been dull at times, and on great oc
