| DR.. Cuy1er has been Republican since
| the party was formed; can old fashioned
Lincolnite Republican" he calls himself.
Thirty years ago. he says in an article
in the current number of The Evangelist,
II used my tongue and pen zealously for
the Republican party in its early conflicts
with the monster of chattel slavery" II
it were still true to it's early ideals, he
would still be found equally jealous. But
the high tariff and free whisky platform
repels him. as it does DR.. Storrs. Upon
| this point he says:
I claim the privilege, as an old fash
toned Lincolnite Republican, to enter my
earnest protest against its reactionary
| 'plank" on the most controverted ques-
| ton of the hour. In 1884 the Republican
convention wisely declared in favor of the
revision of the tariff and the reduction Of
the enormous and dangerous surplus. But
this years convention has strangely de-
clared in favor of the practical maintenance
Of the present exorbitant and oppressive
war tariff, and in order to provide against
the accumulation of surplus, it suggests
repeal of the taxes on whisky and to-
bacco! Instead of taking off the burdens
from many necessaries of life, it would
give us free pipes and free whisky!
Six months ago Mr.. Blaine, in his so
called message from Paris" very saga
cious1y said. II would not advise the re-
peal Of the whisky tax. There is o moral
side to it. To cheaper the price Of whisky
is to increase it's consumption enormously.
There would be no sense in urging the re-
form wrought by high license in many
states, if the national government neu-
tralizes the good effect by making whisky
within reach of every one at twenty cents
a gallon. It would destroy high license
at once in all the states" Very true, Mr..
Blaine, and it would bring in carnival of
Beelzebub and Bacchus all over the land.
I aan not the only dissentient against
the extreme high tariff heresies of the late
convention Many of the most powerful
Republican journals are protesting against
them, and such stanch and thoughtful
Republicans as ex-Mayor Seth Low and
the Rev Dr. Storrs, and many others of
our Brooklyn citizens, are in open revolt
against them. Dr. Storrs said to me yes
terday that as he could not turn Demo
GRAFT, he should initiate Sambo in the
story, and "take to the woods" If all Of
us Republicans who are opposed to free
trade and free whisky, and yet are strenu-
ously ia favor of reducing the present
outrageously oppressive tariff, should fol-
low the example of DIR. Stor.s, the
"woods" will be pretty full by next No
vembsr.
This is question that deeply concerns
both the financial stability and the public
morality of the nation For party politics
in the harrow sense, care but little; for
principles that alone can make parties
effective for the public veal, l care great
deal.
And thus they regretfully leave the old
party, and take to the woods" And be-
hold, 1.-THE woods are full of them"

VICE PRESIDENTS CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON. June 16.

Yours 18th at hand. 1t does not make
much difference who is nominated, in my
judgment. The candidate will cut but
small figure in the fight. We can elect
anybody or we shall fail The least con-
spicuous, and therefore the least compli-
Gated man will be the best-somebody
like Hayes in 1876. Among all the men
named there is not one leader, no one
whose personal or historical relations to
the people would make a difference of
LOCO votes in the canvass. Sherman,
Allison, Harrison, etc, have records that
would be awkward on the tariff, the cur
rency, the Chinese question, etc. De
pew's connection with railroads and cor
porations would be a heavy load espe-
cially in the agricultural states. We might
as well nominate Gould or Vanderbilt at
once
My impression is that Alger and Ores
ham come nearer filling the bill than any
of the others, with some fellow like
Phelps, of New Jersey, who could reach
the conservative forces of the east, and
get contributions from the manufacturers
and Wall street. But you can judge
much better than l what is best, after
consulting with the delegates Truly
yours, JOHN j. INGALLS,.
Ingalls, felt badly cut up about the dis
covery of the letter, and so did the con-
vention, but for all that they nominated
Harrison with his awkward record" on
the Chinese question" and "fellow
like Phelps"-Levi P. Morton-who can
reach the conservative forces of the east
and get contributions from the manufac-
turers and Wall street" Ingalls, knew
what he was talking about. All that allied
him was, he didn't know when not to talk.

The Rumpubncratio Convention.

Drinking was reduced to a science at the
California headquarters in the Leland
hotel There about one hundred barrels
of pure California sherry were piled ON
one another. Two big bowls stood on 9
long table, and they were filed and
emptied with the golden fluid as fast as
the crowd could get in it's work. Harry
Morris, of the Stanford Republican club,
of San Francisco managed the bar and
his assistants were four California coIored
men. The first barrel was opened at 2
o'clock in the afternoon and at $50 six
barrels had disappeared from the pile.
Shortly after the delegates began to file
in from the convention, and in the course
of a few minutes the pile was considerably
reduced. Everybody drank. No dis
tinctions were made between delegate and
nondelegate, visitor or resident, RepubIi-
can or Democrat, man or woman.

barrels, and toward it the glasses were
lifted, as his admirers drank his health
At 4:3O the bar was closed, but not all
were in a condition to leave the room.

THE PARTY,
Grading the r. F. & C. G.. Railway.

The Billings Gazette of the 9th inst.
announces that all the time checks held BY
the laborers on the Rocky Fork & Cooke
City Railroad, were cashed in full on that
day at the First National Bank OF Billings.
1t also that the contract for
grading the Billings, Clarke's Fork & Cooke
City Railroad has been let to Heman
Clark & Co., OF New York. The contract
provides that the grading from Billings to
Clarke's Fork Canyon, a distance of IS
miles, shall be completed within four
months after the passage of the bill grant
ing right of way through the Crow Reserva-
ton. The branch, five miles in length, run
ming up Bear Creek to the heart of the
Rock Creek coal deposits, is also to be
graded within that time. The mammoth
coal veins of the Rock Creek country ex
tend through a divide from Rock Creek to
Clarke's Fork OF the Yellowstone. Bear
Creek, which puts into Clarke's Fork heads
in a little basin only three miles east of the
coal claims owned by members of the
Rocky Fork & Cooke City Railroad Co.
The coal lands around the head of Bear
Creek are owned by a pool of Billings and
New York parties, and Vice-President
Cakes, of the Northern Pacific. has inter-
ests in it. From the fact that the com.
pany have negotiated a oar of 50, 900, 900

the grading of the road, it would seem
that they are very confident of getting
their right of way bill through the present
session OF Congress.

ANTI-CHINESE LEGISLATION

The restrictive Chinese immigration bill
of Senator Stewart, introduced by him on
Tuesday, is not such a bill as he himself
| wished to introduce or would have intro.
duced if be had thought there was any
chance of it's passage. Nothing short OF a
total exclusion bill will satisfy him or the
Pacific Coast people. If that could be &C.
companied by an expelling act, it would be
received with satisfaction on the coast
where the contest between the European
and the Asiatic is brought down to a fine
issue. The Wis inerti@ of Asiatic immigra-
ton and it's stolid obstinacy there receive
pointed exemplifcation. It brings it's own
laws and customs that it would no more
part with than with life. It's tenacity and
endurance surmount every manner OF OBJ
stacle placed in their way. The peo-
pie of the Pacific Coast see that
the incoming of that race must cease.
and they will accept the measure which
Senator Stewart introduces as a compro-
mise in default of a better at present. It
seems that the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations is the stumbling block to
q total exclusion measure. Senator Sawyer
fears they would smother any such radical
legislation. Sherman, Hoar. Edmunds aud
Morrill,, all Eastern men. form a clique that
dictates to the Republicans just what they
shall do and will, Senator Sawyer is re-
ported as saying, oppose anti. Chinese
measures as much as they can. The object
of the Sawyer compromise bill is to strike
out the prior residence clause in the present
act relating to the entry of Chinese into the
United States and to change the certificate
now issued in such a mannerthat it cannot
be sold or exchanged. Such a measure
Senator Sawyer thinks can be passed at
the present session.
