The instant Harnson's nomina'
ton was made known in this city
the Democrats affected to be de-
lighted at the choice on the ground
that he was q notorious sympathizet
with the Chinese. had voted 10 nat
ura,ize them. and had also refused
to vote for tile Chinese Restriction
Bill.
These statements are all false,
anil the APPEAL fails to see how
any ore can gain anything by IN
venting campaign lies which can be
disproven inside OF a few hours.
Harrison never voted for any bill
natursllzing the Chinese. He re-
fpsed 10 vote for the Chinese Re-
striction Bill until tie Chinese treaty
was modified.
The treaty was modified and ne
voted for the bill. A man who
cannot invent a campaign canard
that will live over twenty-four
hours ought to make up his mind

WASHINGTON LETTER


From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, June Is tn, 1883.
The sentiment of the Chicago
Convention is the same as that oil
the Republicans IN Congress. They
are sure to nominate o winner.
The sentiment that l re-
fer to is that in favor OF allowing
the delegations of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana TO
name the man to head the ticket.
These States represent GO elector-
al votes all of which are cast Tor
Cleveland. Now if the Republicans
can hold all the States they carried
in 'S4, and can carry New York 1t
will elect the ticket, or they can lose
New York and either New Jersey
or Connecticut, but not both, ana
still win by carrying Indiana ana
either New Jersey or Connecticut.
A few moments spent in thinking
over the situation ought to convince
any one that if a man is nominated
with any sort of unanimity by the
delegations OF these four States lac
will win. That is the conclusion
reached by the longest headed Re
uubl,cans in Congress, and II their
advice is followed, the delegates
will put aside personal preference
and vote for whoever the delega-
tons from the doubtful States shall
agree upon, as the man most likely
to carry IL cir States. 1t is not
question of personal likes or dis
likes, but one of party supremacy.
Senator Hale poured q taritic
broadside OF unanswerable argument
INTO the Fisheries treaty in the SEN
ate ON Wednesday. He showed
that every man living in the United
States was directly interested IN
the fisheries subject MIR.
Hale thinks the position OF
Canada upon this treaty is one that
has been taken after serious consld-
Grafton and under orders from Eng
land, who Is always on the alert to
hurt the commercial interests OF the
United States.
The Democrats refused to allow
the Mills tariff bill to go over next
week, as had been requested Dy
the Republicans who were DESTROYS
of attending the Chicago Conyen-
ton, unless the Republicans would
agree upon some date when the
final vote upon the bill shall be
taken. The Republicans decline 0
make any change in their tactics,
40 that the bill Is likely to 60 right
along, and those Republicans who
failed to get themselves paired Will
have to remain here.
It is probable that the tariff bill
will yet be laid aside, notwithstand-
ing this refusal. The regular ap-
preparation bills are far behind, and
the nearness Of the end Of the fiscal
wear makes the passage Of these
measures . necessity. sull Mr.
Mills says he intends TO have = I'm
