has voted for every democratic nominee
since; is in good health, and Is enthusias.
tic for Cleveland. If he lives TO vote for
Cleveland, II will make II Presidential
elections that he has voted. Who can
show a better record. His name is Asher
Markham.
He was at the ST. Louis Convention, and
tells this story of how he was treated: He
says he went to one of the entrances Of the
convention hall alone, without a ticket,
and told the policeman In charge his rec
ord, and said he wanted to get In. About
this time boy came around and wanted
to sell him ticket for $500. The police
man in charge told him not TO buy and he
would get him in. The policeman at the
gate entrance left another in charge, went
inside, procured him ticket and an usher,
and told the boy usher to give him the
best seat in the convention hall and look
after his wants. he WIS given a seat
among the alternate delegates, and after.
wards was sent for by the reading clerk,
who knew him, and was given place
among the distinguished guests on the
platform then and al subsequent sessions
of the convention. He speaks highly of
the hospitality of the people of st. Louis,
and the honors paid him during his stay of
several days.
He was also in Chicago during the ses.
sion of the Republican Convention, and
says that many Republicans there whom
he knows will not support the Republican
ticket on account of being opposed to the
platform. He mentions his nephew Ed
ward Markham, who has had charge of the
advertising and business department of
the Tribune for sixteen years, and is an in
fuential citizen, who has always voted the
Republican ticket, and voted for Blaine
four years ago, who will support Cleveland
this year. guess every one knows Mr..
Markham is reliable even in politics.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The democratic congressional committee
has called as will be seen IN another col
umn convention TO nominate democratic
candidate for congressman for this district
While the district is supposed to be nope.
lessly republican, still there is always q
! fighting chance for the democrats TO carry
il, as was shown by the run of Mr.. Haley
.against VIM Cullen in 1889. The chance
for a democratic candidate are as good now
as then, when anything like systematic
campaign would have landed Mr. Haley in
congress Capt. Hill, the republican nom
inee, is not particularly strong man in
any pect-admred by his intimates, no
doubt, but distant, cold, unapproachable
among men In general He can at best
awaken no enthusiasm among voters for
himself personally; neither is he man
who could make successful canvass from
the stump.
The democratic candidate should be a
thorough democrat and thoroughly Ia line
with the party In its efforts to relieve the
people from the burden OF excessive taxa.
ton. Ia this respect, the odds would be in
his favor, FOR 1t is hardly possible that this
district will vote for free whisky and tobac.
co In preference to reduction of taxes on
the necessaries of life and raw materials
But the candidate should be man who
can teach the voter from the stump: tariff
reform should be taught by speeches In
every township of the district and the can
didate should make such a canvass.
The candidates, however, are not nun
erous; the Office is now seeking the man
But there are without doubt men in the
district AS can win IL, for victory Is not a
"forlorn hope"-not this year.
The name of Judge Olin of Joliet is the
only one thus far mentioned for the office
{ HIS is certainly in every way a man OF
whom his party and the district may be
proud-a man Of character, learning and
ability "a man the people OF the district
could hearty support and a man who in
congress would honor the district as il has
not been honored since the retirement OF

! ly a candidate we are not informed but
should VIII county come to the convention
to present his name as candidate, so tai
as is now apparent there would be no doub
of his nomination and hearty support OF

by means OF cheap Chinese labor that

Harrison's record embraces, first, strong
ESSAY read by him as early as 1879 before
the indianapolis Literary Society, In favor
of unrestricted Chinese immigration; and,
second, his record on the various bills
before congress 10 restrict Chinese immi~
grafton.
The first bill Of this kind was introduced
In the L ) senate In 1882. Ii proposed
% prohibit such immigration totally for 20
years. Various amendments were proposed
by the opponents Of the bill, such as to
admit Chinese skilled laborers, Chinese ar.
tisans, &c, all of which were voted for by
Harrison, but the amendments being voted
down. he voted against the passage OF the
bill. But the bill having passed the senate
In spite of his opposition, and subse-
quently the house, 1t WAS vetoed by Presi.
dent Arthur, and on the question Of sus
tanning the veto Gen. Harrison voted yea.
Subsequently a bill restricting Chinese
immigration for 10 years passed the house
and on coming before the senate, was
again opposed by Harrison In all its stages
but 1t also passed that body, was approved
by the President and became law and
by treaty with China under the presen,
administration, the provisions of that bill
have been virtually ma lie perpetual
This is the ugly record of the Republi.
can candidate on these two important
points. II ought 10 kill him, not only with
the grangers and the working men, but
with the people generally, for is there any
conceivable calamity that can befall this
country greater than that its government
should fall under the unrestricted control
OF the uncomfortable railroad monopo-
lists and all their mighty stock board con-
freres; or that the labor of this country
should be overslaughed and degraded by
the unrestricted inflow of the leprous and
putrid coolie filth from China?

E. F. Gould, leader of the Indiana
knights of Labor who went to Chicago to
oppose the nomination of Harrison, says
the knights will oppose him as a body,
giving, among other reasons, that during
the railroad strike in 1877, Harrison, as an
attorney of the railways, implored Gov.
Williams OF Indiana, 10 order out the troops
to put down strikes, raised company of
his own and drilled them for the purpose,
and in a public speech at Indianapolis
declared:

men back to work or shoot them down on

TIN.

Can any man under the canopy" give a
reason why the people of this country
should pay an annual tax of $6000,000 on
TIM The article is wholly of foreign pro-
ducsiop, yet is indispensable TO the manu-
facturers and artisans of this country IN a
thousand ways. The tax adds enormously
to the expense of tin roofing and nearly
doubles the price of every workingmans
tin pail and of all the thousand and one
articles of tin that occupy so large place
in the equipment of the dairy and every
poor mans kitchen. There was some
years ago rumor that tin had been dis
covered somewhere in North Carolina, Ar
iona, or in the Black Hills, and this tax,
which has already cost the people over
100000 900, was put on to protect an in
dustry then and TO this day yet unborn.
The Mills tariff bill sensibly cuts off this
tax, while the Republicans in the house are
supporting an amendment to d0u5le IL.

The republican platform says the demo.

land to the public domain-the republicans
did il! In the 41th congress when the re-
publicans had control of both houses not
one railroad grant was forfeited yet in the
4Sth and 49th congresses, when the demo
Gratis controlled the house, laws were passed
restoring 100000 of unearned land grants
to the public domain! all Of which bills
passed the house before they reached the
senate. The senate passed no bills for
this purpose that the house did not also
pass, while the house passed bills TO forfeit
100000 acres that the senate did not
pass.
