where he began the practice of his profes-
SION. He soon won place as a lawyer in
his new home, and before 1860 he was also
considered one Of the ablest political speak,
ers in the state.
In 1860 Mr.. Harrison was nominated for
reporter of the supreme court, and was

general.
The general was given q leave of absence

campaign Of that year he was conspicuous
and having secured republican legislature
for Indiana. he was elected to the United
States senate to succeed Senator Mcdonald
In the senate his Dakota report and
speeches ard his speech on the Edmunds
resolution regarding civil service reform in
general, and the presidents appointments in
Indiana in particular, were among his
best efforts in debate. AS a member of the
committee on foreign relations he assisted
in the consideration and amendment, and
united in the unanimous report of the
Chinese restriction bill introduced by
Senator Fair of Nevada On the con
tract-labor bill Senator Harrison made a
speech favoring wholesale emigration of
contracted labor, being careful, however
TO reserve the freest possible voluntary
emigration of those who desired to become
American citizens. He also spoke on the
alien ownership of land, taking a decided
stand against the evil of foreigners acquir-
ing large bodies of public and private lands
to the exclusion of the actual settlers.
