General Harrison in Columbus draws crowds and defends record
The Ohio Confederate reports Gen. Harrison arriving from Cincinnati to Columbus, addressing thousands from the National Hotel door and at public events. He rejects the idea of a “Committee of Conscience-Keepers,” explains letter handling, defends his public conduct, and denounces political calumnies while praising Kentucky and Franklin County support. He says he would welcome fair scrutiny and urges honest public discourse over personal slander.
