Show THE PRESIDENT'S POPULARITT. Judging from the pictorial press and from the mugwump tirades against Mr. Harrison, one would be led to believo that the president Is about ts unpopular as any man who ever occupied oc-cupied the white house. In political politi-cal conventions whore the "workor" rules supreme and shines resplendent resplen-dent in his immaculate glory it has been noticed that the mention of the president's name is not cheered as voeiferousely as that of some other more audacious leader; but his enthusiastic enthusi-astic welcome throughout his present trip proves beyond a doubt that the rank and tile of the republican party and the great mass of the people generally gener-ally honor and trust the chief executive of the nation. , Mr. Harrison is perhaps not the most brilliant American, but he is a safe, cautious and conservative magistrate. His domestic life is irreproachable, and if there is any one thing that we in this country admire as much as manly courage, cour-age, it Is the exemplification of a happy home by our president. He stands in the glare of universal scrutiny and by his conduct the whole nation is apt to be judged. - The cordial if not indeed the affectionate affec-tionate reception tendered President Harrison among his former neighbors, his old friends and early companions shows that be is in more ways than one the first citizen of the country. |
