contempt for clarified candidates

A PRIVATE letter from q leading Republican
OF Tennessee. residing in Chattanooga written
before the late letter of Mr.. Blaine was pub
lshed), says:

either Blaine or Harrison. The latter occupies

strength when Blaine 10 out of the way

the one that can carry Indiana, and Indiana is

essary to success without New York. Allison

generalship. After Blaine, believe that, with
proper effort, the larger part OF the Tennessee
delegation can be secured to General Harrison.

Carolina delegation can be secured to Harrison,
judging from my reading Hope he may win"
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-06-06
THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette saws:

I'm advocating Sherman desire it to be
distinctly understood that we do not antagon-
ize any other candidate on personal grounds.
So far as this paper is concerned, it will, to
the best of its ability, support the nominee of
the national Republican convention. We
have our preferences; we have stated our rea-
sons, and it is our hope and expectation that
John Sherman will be nominated, feeling
sure that he would be the easiest man to
elect; but if that should not happen the pa.
per will do its best to elect the man that may
be chosen as the standard bearer of the party,
the principles of which we consider essential
to the continued growth and prosperity of the
country"
That is the kind Of Republican newspa-
per the indianapolis Journal is, and that is the
kind of Republicanism that will dictate the
nomination at Chicago; not the Republican
ism that did bolt in 1884 or was lukewarm
or Indifferent, or the Republicanism that
shows a spirit indicating hostility toward any
of the prominent and honored leaders of the
party, will dominate the national convention.
1t will be Republican convention. That was
one of the first things the Journal said, weeks
and months ago. Wait and see if we were
not right.

THE Journal betrays vast amount OF ig
norance when it seeks to connect the Governor
with the White Caps and make him RESPONSE
BILE for the outrages reported periodically from
Orange Spencer. Crawford and other so-called
White Cap counties. The Governor has no
constitutional authority to order troops to the
scene of these raids and lawless proceedings
unless the civil authority is overpowered.
Sentinel.
That is all bosh. We have heard that kind
of talk before. Lack Of constitutional au-
thority is the usual refuge of timid Governors
and Presidents James Buchanan could not
find any constitutional authority for enforc-
ing the laws and preserving the Union, but
Abraham Lincoln managed to. Constitutions
are made to protect society, not to protect
brigands and mobs. No Governor was ever
yet called to account for enforcing law and
order, even if he did it by means not prescribed
by the Constitution. 1t is absurd to say that
Governor Gray could not have found a way to
put a stop to the White Cap ovtrages. If he
had given half the attention to the matter that
he did to working up his ice-presidential
boom the outrages would have been stopped
and the perpetrators brought to justice long
ago. He has shirked the responsibility and
neglected his duty.

THE CHICAGO NOMINATION
Harrison and the Chinese ousstion.

To the Editor Of the New York Tribune.
Sir-Now aud then hear some one in the
East who does not understand General Harri-
sons position on the Chinese question. or, at
least, doubts his strength on the Pacific coast
The facts are these: When the first Chinese
bill was before the Senate he opposed certain
features of it. because he thought they were ia
conflict with the provisions OF existing treaties;
but he moved TO amend those portions Of the
bill 90 that they might BE- in accord with his
were in favor Of the bill steadily voted the
amendments down, and, in order TO maintain mis-
consistency. General Harrison was thus obliged
to vote against the bill, which finally passed
over the Presidents veto When the next
Chinese bill was before the Senate General Har-
rison was absent and did get q chance to
vote upon it. When the next bill came before
the Senate--the one commonly called the Pace
relations. Of which he was then . member.
That committee unanimously voted to report
the bill favorably, General Harrison voting with
the other members or the committee. When it
came before the Senate it was passed. General
Harrison voting for it Mr. Fair said 10 tho
Senate that "this was by all means the best
Chinese bill which had been proposed and
otherwise spoke in high terms Of the bill Thus,
you ses General Harrison was in favor OF the
principle underlying the Chinese legislation
The leading politicians on the Pacific coast
agree that his nomination would be entirsl sat-

strength to Mr. Blaine; that his record on the
Chinese question is fully understood, and does
not cause any distrust upon tho part of the pso-
ple that they regard the question as forever
settled, and that General Harrison would re-
ceive, if nominated, the cordial and hearty sup
port of the Pacific coast They also agree that

underlying the Chinese legislation be would

Mr.. MILLS'S insistence that his tariff bill
should be voted on as a whole, without scru-
tiny by sections, was characteristics of South
ern methods. The bill was framed on the
same plan, in secret conclave, by a majority
of the ways and means committee, without
giving the minority or the manufacturing in
terests chance to be heard. Then, after the
party lash had been vigorously used to secure
its quasi Endorsement by the party caucus, an
attempt is made to head off amendments in
the House by demanding that it be voted on
as whole. The bill is the product Of gag
law and bulldozing methods, at every stage.
Even if it were not crude and mischievous
measure in itself, the Republicans would be
justified in opposing it on account of the
methods by which it is attempted to be
passed. It is nothing more nor less than an
attempt to apply the Mississippi plan to con.
gressional legislation and introduce Texas
cowboy methods into national politics. The
Republicans should oppose it till the last day
in the morning. $500,

For the information of whom it may con-
Germ, we again call attention to the fact that
Indiana has law against the importation of
foreign contract labor, the first section of
which is as follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State of Indiana that from
and after the passage of this act it shall be un-
lawful for any person, company, partnership
or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, to
prepay transportation or in any way assist or
encourage the importation or migration of any
alien or Aliens any foreigner or foreigners,
into the State of Indiana, under contract or
agreement, parole or special, express or i'm
piled, made previous to the importation or
migration of such alien or aliens, foreigner or
foreigners, to perform labor or service of any
kind in this State"
Other sections of the law make all contracts
for the importation of such labor void, and
prescribe penalty for its violation. This law,
if enforced, seems to furnish sufficient protec-
ton to the laboring men Of this State against
the importation of italian laborers.

Yesterday was present at the introduction
or manual training In cookery at one of our
largest grammar schools. The girls who are
pupils are mainly between the ages OF twelve
and fourteen years. and for some time past
they have been receiving lectures on house
keeping, which their mothers say have produced
good results IN the way of washing and drying
dishes and other matters at their homes Yes
terday the classes In practical cooking were
opened. Four large rooms had been fitted ND
with all modern household appliances. There
were cooking utensils or every kind including
tableware, handicapped tables, gas stoves and
q generous supply of meats, vegetables, -four,
etc., of the best quality, aud all provided with
ont cost to the pupils. One hundred and
twenty five pupils took cooking lesson yester-
girls, two Of whom acted as houseke epers and
furnished the materials 10 the cooks needed.
Each cook had a separate gas stove. and those
who were not cooking took notes of the opera
tons. EGGS were cooked to order hard and
soft, rice and potatoes were boiled aud other
delicacies prepared. When the lesson had been
completed the little cooks set down at the tables
and gobbled down the product of their labors
with much apparent relish and apparently with
evil results to their digestion The lessons
will DO given every Friday, and the principal
of the school and the parents OF the girls have
not the slightest doubt that they will prove of
great value to the sweet girl graduates and
to their families. The scholars welcome these
practical lessons as pleasant change from the
regular parrot drill of the schoo.-room, and

HERE it is again: A Kansas City special
says "Jay Gould is undoubtedly very sick
man. Every effort is being made to keep his
true condition from the public, and the result
is that very conflicting reports are being sent
out" Mr.. Gould's doctors and personal at
tendants should not fall into the common
error of imagining that his dangerous sick
ness, or even his death, would convulse the
country. II Mr.. Gould thinks he could create
. panic by dying, let him try it once.
