Mr. Harrison Is the Oreat. Incohonee, the supreme oft fleer of the Order of Redman, and ar rived here yesterday from ths Indiana capital to attend the annual meeting of the Oregon Redmen, which meets at Sea side tomorrow. ' - "For years Indiana has been one of the greatest battle-grounds politically . In the Union." said Mr. Harrison, "and this year will be no exception. Although Senator Fairbanks, ths Republican nom inee for vice-president is a Hoosler statesman, he is not the sort bf man that will sway empires or eause thrones to totter; easy to approach and agreeable to know. Fairbanks Is a good man but not a great leader. In my opinion the gom uemocrats that left the party in 'it and 1900 to support McKlnley will not flock to Parker In body. If they did, my state would go Democratic In a walk. But many of them will stay with their new love." Mr. Harrison stated that the Redmen were growing more . tepidly than any oiner oraer or its sort in America, "During the peat two years." he said. "the Redmen have gained 100,000 new members." .
