HARRBSON,S LETTER OF Ac.
CEPTANCE.


CEPTANCE.
Ha-rison's letter OF acceptance
has been spread before the voters
Of the United States, and is now
running the regular stereotyped fire
OF criticism from the Mugs. and
Dems. 1t does not please them,
nor was it written 10. Harrison is
sound on all matters concerning
Nevada.
Silver.
Protection.
Putting up the bars against for
eign paupers, and the exclusion Of
the Chinese.
OF silver he says:
ssThe resolutions relating to the
coinage of silver, to the rebuilding
of the navy, to coast defenses and
to the public lands express con-
illusions to all OF which l gave my
support in the Senate"
On the Chinese question he is
equally sound.
"The objection to Chinese immI-
grafton are distinct and conclusive,
and are now SO generally accepted
as such that the question has gone
clear around the stage OF argument.
The laws relating to this subject
would, if l should be charged with
their enforcement, be faithfully exc
cuted. Such amendments or fur
Their legislation as may be necessary
and proper to prevent evasions of
the laws and to stop further Chi
nese immigration would also meet
my approval. The experience of
the Convention upon this subject is
In entire harmony with my views.
Our civil compact is government
by the majority, and law loses its
sanction and the Chief Magistrate |
our respect when this compact is
broken"
Regarding the food of pauper
labor coming upon US from across
the sea, he says:
"In the early years OF our history
public agencies to promote immi-
grafton were common. The pioneer
wanted a neiehbor with more
friendly instincts than the Indian,
labor was scarcer and fully en-
ployed, but the day OF the immigra-
ton bureau has gone by. While
our doors will continue to be open
to proper immigration, we DO not
need to issue special invitations to
the inhabitants of other countries
to come to our shores and share
our citizenship. Indeed. the me-
cessity OF some inspection and limi-
tation is obvious. We should resp
lutely refuse to permit foreign gov
ernments to send their paupers and
criminals to our ports. We are
also clearly under duty to defend
our civil position by excluding alien
races whose ultimate assimilation
with our people il neither possible
nor desirable The family has been
the nucleus of our best immigration
and the home the most potent as
force in our civilization
OF the sailors and soldiers PEN
sions he says:
alt can hardly be necessary for
ne to say that / am heartily in
sympathy with the declaration Of
the Convention upon the subject OF
pensions to our sailors and soldiers.
What they gave-and what 1 had
some opportunity to observe, and
in . small way to experience-they
gave ungrudgingly. 1t was not a
trade, but an offering. The meas
nre was heaped up, running over.
What they achieved only q distant
can adequately tell with
,ut attempting to discuss particular
I may add that 6
in behalf Of the sorrowing
Veterans of the war and of the fami-
lies Of their dead comrades, should
,e conceived and executed in q
