    The Kangaroo Ticket Stands No Chance
    Medford, July 11
    I cast my first vote for Harrison in 1840. I have one of the "log cabin" badges, which looks as bright as it did forty-eight years ago. I am going to wear it at the polls and help elect Gen. Ben Harrison by a larger majority than we gave his grandfather. The democratic Kangaroo ticket stands no show whatever, the rotten old hulk has gotten all its load in the poop.
