The Republican antiquaries who
climbed Mr. Hani son family tree so
eager! v. in search of matenal to help
him in h - campaign, slid down the
trunk .again so suddenly and silently
a- to awaken the su-pician -hnt they
had found a hornets' m*-t some
where amid the-branches. An inves
tigation has ju-t discovered the

"glorious record of Miat stern old
Roundhead. Major General Htr i i -
on. of Oliver Cromwell s army.
It is presumed that Major Gener
al Harri-on accompanied Cromwell
into Ireland and fought with him
there. If so. his descendant has no

his Irish fellow citi/ens. o:i the Ma

by the New York Star in the follow

Critical Iteview of the Civil Wars in
Ireland. i\c, wr tten by the eminent
historian, »I. C. Curry. M. D.. and
I>i inted in I >ublin in 177 ">:
"1 o these mi-fortunes was soon

of Oliver Cromwell, who landed at

refer t ) his course pending tne ran
road strike of 1*77! on which occa
sion he implored the Governor to or
der out the troops and shoot down
the strikers. Governor Williams
stoutly resisted hi- influence, claim
ing that the men were peaceable,
and tli.it there was no necessity for
such action. At thi-> he mustered
up a company of his own and drille 1
the men. so as lo have them in read
ines>ia cntof an emergency. Upon
the same occasion he made a sj»eech
from which the following is verbatim
and substantiated by affidavits: Were
I the Gov, I'd force those men back
to work or shoot them down on tbe
spot. I pon another occasion, dwr
iuLf the same trouble, he declared in
a speech that A dollar a day and two
meals are enough for any working
man." Knights of Labor through
the State officially petitioned for his
defeat in the last Senatorial contest,
and at Chicago the laboring classes
by the hundreds were found working
for his defeat and in the interest of
(Jresham."
"Tho.-e men whom .Mr. Harrison
so coolly proposed to shoot down
were American workingmen. who
were guilty of no violence and of no
offence except being engaged in a
( strike to obtain living wages from
the rich corporations they served.
They w re Mr. Harrison's own neigh
bors, and among their number were
doubtless many men who had voted
for him for office and to whom he
now appeals to vote for him again.
Thev asked lor nothing more than
1 . .
what they considered to be fair wa
j'es for their work. The answer of
°
the zealous representative of the cor
poration- with which they were con
tending was that they should be
forced back to work upon the corpo
ration- terms, or hhot down on the
spot if they refused to work.
The question "f their wages, too.
was a small matter in the opinion
of the well-fed. well-paid attorney,
a- has been shown. "A dollar a day
and two meals are cnou«rh for any
workingman," according to his esti

C>ur account of the party, headed
"Gathering of Vultures." is still go

aiticle we proved Judge (iilder

horse thief, and we adduced posi

broken down ami played out fortune
teller who had been compelled to
ikip from St. Louis. The Judge
called at the Kickir office next day
with a shot gun. but when we
brought out more letters—pi oofs
that he had served time in three pris

she had received another S">00 dress
