The Republicans of Port Jervis held a very successful and ontbusiastie ratifica tion meeting on Orange Square last night. The attendance was large, nearly filling the Square, the speeches were first-class and aroused much enthusiasm, and all in all, it was in striking contrast to another ratification meeting held in the same place a short time ago. The meeting was hastily gotten up yes terday by the Young Men’s Republican Club, and Frank Mardenbergh, the presi dent of the club, presided at the meeting. Surrounding him in the band stand on the Square were these geutleinen : Jno. Caskey, B. S. Marsh, John H. Wells, Isaac Penney, Dr. Sol Van Etten, J. B. Layton, II. G. Porter, Wm. Akers, E. A. Browne, Edward Bennet, Edward King, Wm. Blanford, Isaac Cassell, Heber Holmes and others. Amid the booming of several Harrison guns the Erie band marched to the Square and played several selections. Then the Hon. L. E. Carr was escorted from his residence to the platform and delivered one of his eloquent, ringing speeches, every sentiment of which awoke a re sponsive throb in the breasts of his Re publican listeners. Mr. Carr’s remarks were about as follows We have assembled here to ratify the nomination as we expect to assemble here on the 7th day of next November to ratify the election of Benj. Harrison to the great office of President of the United States. (Applause.) When the Declaration of In dependence was signed, Benjamin Har rison appeared among those who were willing to peril their lives and fortunet with defenses of liberty. Sixty-four 3 afterwards the Whig party nom dealt it some stinging blows. On the inisc, then and only then, we lay down the sword and seek the rest wliieb the (•.mseinusness of a duty nobly (lone entitles us to.

As Mr. Carr concluded Ins remarks, he picked up a small American flag, waved it over bis bead and three hearty cheers were given for Benjamin Harrison. The band started to play and a large quantity of red fire was burned and several young Republicans on top of the residence of Charles St. John, jr., fired off a quantity of fireworks. For a while the enthusi asm for Harrison was rampant. A. Van Etten, jr., was then presented and he delivered a few ringing remarks. Mr. Van Etten spoke about as follows: The chairman has announced me as a speaker. I disclaim the honor. I am no speaker, but almost any one can say something on an occasion like this. On my way up town a Democrat asked : “ Who is Harrison ?” If there are any Democrats here, and I hope there are, who don’t know of him and who lie is, I will refer them to President Cleveland and his “ encyclopedia.” (Lc fairly, honestly to secure an overwhelmii a young orator to Port Jervis, Mr. Ful lerton paid: In speaking here this evening it set to me that I am somewhat haudicapp inasmuch as so many bright and shin: lights have preceded me. As a usual thing when my friend Ben- net precedes me in making a speech, it is my invariable custom to disagree with him and assail his argument, but upo this occasion, I must agree with him ii everything he has said. (Laughter.) W are upon the threshold of a campaign that promises at the very outset to be more citing than a n y yet recorded upon lages of our country, and we are gathered icre in the open ait to-night to give vent to our good-will, feeling and enthusias thehe choi\''e ” —’njamin ’ »ver t choic of Be Harrison a ,ur standard bearer. We have all of u ilependencp, and a grand son of the suc cessful candidate of 1840. (Cheers.) Our candidate, therefore, comes of good stock, but he has earned for himself a place in the people’s regard. live. In the thickes Chickamauga he flrmb his country might :st of the rank at imauga he flrmly stemmed the tor rent of defeat. About Atlanta in com mand of a brigade he fairly won the ever- lasting regard of his countrymen by his skill and bravery. In 1876 he was the Standard bearer of the Republican party in Indiana and, though defeated for Gov ernor, demonstrated bis fitness to lead. In 1881 he became United States Sena tor from Indiana, and served his stale and country with honor and credit to him self in that distingnisheJ body until 1887. He comes to us with honored associations and with a character, public and private. Without spot or blemish. We have then a candidate X»f whom we m a y well feel proud, and for whom we may labor with enthusiastic zeal. History is said to repeat itself and this we may well believe. In 1840, for the first time in the history of the Govern ment, the lESue of protection was sharply presented in a Presidential canvass. To day, for the second time that issue is in the front of the fight. Then a Harrison led the lesion of protection, and now a p, Harrison carries the same standard at the head of the column. Then the opposition was routed along the line and the people, with emphatic will, declared that home interests should be protected. It needs but the coming of the election now lo see the same opposition sent whirling down the valley of defeat. The issue of protection has been fquarely made. The Democracy has thrown down the gauntlet and we are content to meet them on their chosen ground. The President, ia bis message to Con gress, said we were confronted by a con dition, not a theory. Let iis lake them at their word and compare the country to day .with “its condition prior to 1860, and you will find in every direction ad vancement and improvment without parallel. That is tlie condition with which we are confronted. To it our Deinooratic “ lends answer with fine spun theories of ids about him there, next November. We have all had our individual prefer ences for this nomination, but the con vention that has been in session at Chicago during the past week is composed of some ght hundred representative men, gathered ■om all parts of the country. They are Lore able to judge than wa individuals who is best fitted to curry us to success in the election. While a delegate at the State Conven tion at Buffalo, we were asked by a reporter of one of the papers there to name a fit sc and second choice dent. The delegfates we have thus ! have no doubt icled some one man whom we would hive liked to have seen nominated. I do not doubt but that there are those in this jemblage to-night who would have liked have seen New York’s favorite son, Chauncey M. Depew, nominated. (Ap plause.) Others, who would have liked to have voted for our ideal statesman John Sherman, Still others who would liked to have endorsed McKinley, the father of our platform—but to all these I take this occasion to say that because your man was not nominated do not let your ardt r cool or your enthusiasm abat^ but remember that the delegates at Chi cago in the representative capacity of the Republican party have chosen for the interest itched this convention we h (the 1.6th Congress ’leve, named as firsi line and :ond choice for Pres ,tes from our distri Blain) question for the maincainance of home inJ dustries as against free trade or, as Gov ernor Hill terms it, freer trade.

We thought either could can ting down duties. It 1 that protection made the rich riel the poor poorer, but facts fail to b( this assertion. In the chief manufeceturing districts of paid, enjo] Seen urged richer and bear out f manufis ' our country people are better , enjoy greater advantages and live belter style than elsewhere. In the Nev? England States alone the deposits in savings banks the repositories of the sav- . ings of the working classes, are upwards of four hundred millions of dollar.®. This does not have the appearance of starva tion. We know that articles we use and need are cheaper than before 1860. Labor alone has advanced. We Republican would maintain labor with its longer privileges and belter compensation. The Democracy would reduce it to the foreign It is said we have a surplus in the treas ury which must be reduced. Sucli a con- dition of the public funds is anomalous to the Democracy. The last rime they essayed the management of the Govern ment they were chiifly occupied with deficiencies. An overflowing treasury is an abnormal condition lo them and ive need not wonder that they are at a loss to know how it is to be managed. In 1884 they adopted a platfi read protection in protection and free trade among those of that way thought. This year tliey reaffirm that Depuy. We thought either could carry this state, but we only judged from our local standpoint, and we must submit to the wisdom of these 800 men who are better able to decide than we. They have given us a man upon wliom all can unite—laboring men. soldiers, artisans and capitalists c«n unite upon Benjamin Harrison, and even Mugwumps can, as they already are returning to the fold. (Applause). Much might be said upon the exc platform adopted, and especially up issue in which we are all deeply interested —the tariff—but 1 shall not enter upon it. e it to say that upon the issue made all carry the state of New York, and Benjamin Harrison as the next Pres ident of the United States. (Loud Ap plause.) Wilton Bennet, the energetic young lawyer, was next presented by chairman Hardenbergh, who said the stock of Re publican speakers in Deerpark was almost inexhaustible. Mr. Bennet said : Wo are gathered here to-night to usher in another campaign of “ resistance to usurpation, misrule and despotism. ” As this wa.s the battle cry of a Harrison jarly fifty years ago, so let the same lirit live in bis descendants to-day, and addition thereto, let us add in this bat tle we want a protective armor that will thoroughly and completely ward off and defend us from the insidious and poisoned ■rows of Democracy and free trade. Among the principles of the Whig party enunciated in ’42 are the following : A sound national currency, regulated by ! will and authority of the nation; An ;quate revenue with fair protection to American industry. Well may we ex claim with the poet, “ in bis ashes live their wonted fires,” for to-day, gentle- nted to you a Harri.son, who tit and advocate of the Republican doctiine of protectio unparalelled, unrivaled and unt qaalled Let ns ratify this nomination made Cliicago with heart and soul.

T think that this fall they can and will join bands with the “ Grand Old Party” over the gulf of partisan strife and march with us shoulder to shoulder as wo sweep along to the memorable victory of 1888 which we are sure to achieve. Dr. Bol. Van Etten closed the evening’s speech-making and bis allusions to the soldier in the coming canvas were loudly applauded. The Doctor said ; am convinced that the rising pulse and temperature of the American people to night is a sure indication of their inten- sraove from power ic party and to re-i li P arty” with Benj: leader.

That wise counsel prevailed in leaders’ minds at Chicago the result has indicated. Our delegates have contended with a problem which did not bother our Democratic friends, a multiplicity of available candidates. No, they went to market with their eggs all in one liasket, and I surmise that a great many red lian- daunas will be needed to mop up the demolished and ill-saved Democi-atic eggs which will be crushed in the month of November. This, j the man the roan of ,. . here, his destiny is not to hoodwink and deceive the people this campaign, but the mask will be lorn off,the statue unveiled, and the unbridled spirit of Democracy will appear in all its repulsive features. !, not on the defensi’ land on the broad hijth- jamin Harri son as its leader.

When England asked Cleveland to come out and proclaim for free trade, he did It and; his message appeared. When Chamberlain came to confer with Cleveland and Bayard in the interests of England and told them that they must give away the American rights to the fiihing grounds, they said “ Oh! yes ; we will if only you wont get angry. We will hasten to d > yf’ur bidding.” When Johnny Reb told Cleveland and the ‘ ’emocratic party to pass the Mexican pension bill, giving pensions to many who fought against the tiig during the R«bel- lion, they obeyed i}Uickly and said “ Oh, yes ; we will do that” But when asked to favor the loyal North, the true Ameri 1 people, the word was no and the W lja t T l ieir C a reers H a v e B e » n —H a r r ison tlie G a llant Soltlier, Ih o D isU iiL 'iiislied lia w y e r am i tlie E s t im a b l e C itizen. M o r t o n ’s H o n o r a b le A et Harrison was rendered a prominent name in American history by Gen. Ben jamin Harrison’s ancestors. His great grandfather, Benjamin Harrison, was one of the signer.s of the Declaration of Inde pendence, and repre.sented the Common wealth of Virginia. He was five time.s elected to the Federal Congress, was Speaker of the Virginia House of Dele gates, and twice Governor of the state. His grandfather wa.s‘ (den. William Henry Harrison, elected President of the United States in 1840, but died a fgw clays after his inauguration In 1841. His father, John Scott Harrison, was a Representa tive in Congress two terms, from 1853 to 1857. Gen. Benjamin Harrison, the present nominee for President, was born at North Bend, Ohio, August 20, 1833, He gradu ated from Miami University, Ohio, in 18fi2. After reading law in Cincinnati he settled in Indiiuapolis, i i 18.54, where Le now resides. In 1860 he was elected re porter of the State Supreme Co-art, and held that office when he entered the Gen. Harrison entered the army in 1SG3 as a second Lieutenant of volunteers. After a short service with his first regi ment he raised the Seventieth Indiana regiment and was commissioned Colonel. He served with this regiment until the close of the war. In January, about three months before the surrender of Lee, he was brevetted Brigadier General. He was re-elected reporter of the Su preme Court in 1864, while he was in the army, and at the close of the war he re sumed the duties of his civil office. In 1870 he was Republican candidate for Governor, but Tilden and Hendricks car ried the State by a plurality of 5,515, and Harrison was beaten by a small plurality. In 1880 he was elected United States Sena tor, He was the Republican candidate for re-election, but was cheated out of it by a conspiracy between the Democrats in the Legislature and the Democratic Su preme Court, by which the Lieutenant Governor was prevented from voting by an injunction issued on a trumped up complaint and abandoned as soon as the fraud secured a bare majority for Turpie, who was permitted to take his seat in the Senate. Harrison took his defeat with remarkable coolness and good nature un der the circumstances, and retired from politics to resume his law practice. Gen. Harrison ia a large and handsome man, but not handsome enough^for a pro fessional beauty. He is a forcible and able speaker, and has won much popularity as a campaign orator. His popularity and personal strength in Indiana insures that “ doubtful State” with its fifteen electoral votes to the Re publicans. Indiana is not doubtful this year. Hon. Levi P. Morton, candidate for Vice President, was born at Shoreham, Vt., May 16,1834. He became a clerk in a country store, and manifested much apt itude for business. In 1850 he became a member of a mercantile house in Boston, the firm being Beebe, Morgan & Co. In 1854 he moved to New York, where he established the mercantile firm of Morton ^ Grennell. This firm became financially involved at the beginning of the war, and compounded with its creditors at 50 cents on the dollar. Mr. Morton, not in the least discouraged, established a banking house in 1863. He made money rapidly, and soon attained prominence in financial circles. One day the late creditors of the firm of Morton A; Grinnell received an in- Contirmed on Fourth page.

All people who eat are indebted to the Royal Baking Powder Company not more for having perfected and pre pared a leavening agent that is pure and wholesome beyond a question than for its expo.sures, so boldly made, of the numerous impure, adulterated and injurious articles that are sold under the name of baking powders, bread preparations etc., in this community. In making these exposures the Company has, of course, made itself the target for all sorts of counter attacks, but the animus of these attacks has been per fectly understood by the general public, and by their very virulence have served ' pror ' ...... -ii—A-'— i- »d Company. Food frauds of the usual class, such as w'ooden nutmegs, chicory coffee and watered milk, although they are swindles in a commercial sense, are often tolerated because they do not particularly effect the health of the consumer. But when an article like baking powder, that is relied upon for the healthful preparation of almost eveiy meal, is so made as to carry highly injurious if not to more prominently call attention to the good work of the “ Royal” rankly poisonous elements into our daily food, it would seem to be the duty of the press as well as of the criminal authorities to take cognizance of it. In the fight for pure food made hy the Royal” Company some time ago, when its guns were particularly trained against the alum baking powders, it was noticed that the most trustworthy scientific authorities were emphatically upon its side. So in the recent contest with the lime and other impure baldng powders the result has proved that every statement made by the Royal Baking Powder Company, both as to the purity of its own and the adulteration of other hairing powders of the market, was fully authorized by the most competent chemical and medical authorities of the country. In this contest two facts have been pretty conclusively settled in the minds of the public—the first, that the Royal Company has found the means, and uses them, to make a chemically pure article of food, and the other that the rage baking powder, no matter how strongly endorsed by “ commercial” chemists, is an exceedingly doubtful preparation. Pure hairing powders are one of the chief aids to the cook in preparing per fect and wholesome food. The recent controversy in the press has left it no longer a question with those who desire purity and wholesomeness of food, what baking powder they .shall use. THK DOA1.P OF EDUCATION.
