ted his watch charm-Chinese Ben, who
voted fourteen times in the Senate for
Chinese labor.
CLEvELAND's RECORD.
"Let me compare Cleveland's record"
said the speaker, ''in opposing Chinese
labor" The Democratic party in Con-
gress some years ago passed a bill to ex-
clude Chinese labor and a Republican
President vetoed it. 1t was introduced
again, passed the Democratic House and
went to the Republican Senate, where Mr..
Harrison voted against it on every propo-
sition. But Cleveland, to show his devo-
ton to the labor interests OF the country
fifteen minutes after it had passed,
a bill for the exclusion OF Chinese labor
that O. Democratic House had passed and
forced q Republican Senate to pass also.
The speaker then reverted to the Chicago
conventions treatment of Blaine's Flor
ence and Paris letter, which he said
REMINDED HIM OF A STORY
about a tar on O. ship at sea on which an
of q fatal kind OF sickness set in.
The tar was appointed to throw the dead
people overheard, and one day he saw a
man whom he knew to be an inveterate
liar grunting and groaning in severe pain.
He took him by the legs and was proceeding
to the ships side with him when the man
protested and asked what he intended.

the tar. "But I'm not dead" protested
the sick man. 'Oh, yes, you are, said the
tar. The captain came along and inquired
into the matter. "I'm going to throw him
overheard as he's dead" said the tar.
But he isn't dead" said the captain,
Don't you hear the man tell you so?"
II know it, sir,'' replied the tar, "but,
please your honor, he's such q d liar
can't; believe.him." And 80 it was with the
Chicago Convention. They heard Blaine
say he wasn't a~candidate but they couldn't
believe him. |,
DoDGING. |,
The speaker then reviewed the issues be-
lore the people, and referred to the substi-
of the Republican Senate for the Mills
bill. 1t found the sentiment in favor OF
reduction could not be withstood, and it
turns round and reduces the tariff twenty. ,
i've millions more thar the Mills bill. He
out it's inconsistencies aud SHOWED
that it made no reduction in necessaries.
The difference between the Chicago plat
form and the Republican Senate bill re-
minded him OF two horses going in opposite
directions, and it was a question whether J
the old God and morality party was going
TO split or stretch. They have always been ]
able to stretch on most anything, and
he supposed they would in this instance.
THE TERRITORIAL CANDIDATES.
The speaker then pronounced a glowing
eulogy on Mr.. Clark. He declared there is
no man in the Territory qualified to dis
the duties of Delegateto Congress as
velI as he. He knows the OF the
Territory as we'll as any man IN it. lie mas
furnished more employment to b than
any m~aninit. He asserted that the man who
has sbown the capacity to look after hls
interests as he, has the capacity to at
tend to public interests that may be con-
6ded to him.
