Nor only did General Harrison, who
aspires to the Presidency of the United
States and who to that end solicits the
votes of wage-earners in this Union,
while in the Senate uniformly vote
against all measures looking to the ex-
clusion of Chinese from our shores, and
against all laws aimed at preventing
their naturalization; but his running
mate, banker Morton, while in the Lower
House as persistently voted against the
Bland silver bill and against all such
measures. Mr.. Harrison is the we'll paid
attorney of corporations whose interest it
is to have cheap labor, and to have ignor-
ant and venal voters whom their money
can control. Mr.. Morton is the head Of
the great London banking house of Nor
ton, Rose and Company. As such it is
his interest to demonetize silver and to
make money as scarce and dear as pos
sible. Both of these candidates and the
whole party whose standards they bear,
in all their interests are diametrically
opposed to the interests of labor.

OF Democracy, we urged the Democratic
leaders here to make every effort to in
duce him to deliver a campaign speech
In this city. We are already gratifed by
the news OF his promise to appear as a
speaker in Brooklyn within short time.
1t is an exhilarating prospect. 1t shows
that we are to have him here among us
in the East, where he will find Western
enthusiasm surpassed, and where his
presence will be awaited by multitudes
anxious to hear his voice. We can now
indulge in something like assurance that,
after speaking in our sister city, he will
make his appearance on a New York
platform. When he does 80, what vel.

When his clarion voice is heard, what
thunders of applause will smite the

he stands! But where is there an edi
fee in the city that can hold the tens oi
thousands who will be filed with the de-
sire to hear the old Roman? Not, Ger
tainly, the Metropolitan Opera House
which is the largest auditorium in New
York. In former times, the Madison
Square Garden has been used for publ,
meetings, and Brother Moody, the evan
gelist, spoke there during the religious
revival under Moody and Sankey. Tha
place is worth thinking of. in view o
Father Thurman's visit to the city. Th,
old Roman is accustomed to STUN,

THE Mugwumps of Boston may have
detected, bat Harper's Heekly is not the
kind OF a fly to be caught in the Harrison
molasses bucket. 1t says:
No friend of a reduction of the surplus
by moderating the tariff tax upon the nee
essaries of life and raw materials could
support General Harrison unless he
feared some grave peril from the success
of Cleveland. This an apprehension,
however, which, although strong and
natural in 1884, has now disappeared
IL General Harrison appears in
the canvass as the representative of high
and higher protection, and of free whisky
and tobacco rather than of lighter duty
upon any class of articles produced il
this country. In other words. he is for
an average tariff tax of AZ per cent. in
stead of 40 per cent. and of profuse ane
consequently demoralizing expenditure
of a surplus instead of leaving it in tht
pockets of the taxpayers.

Further Work of the National Ex.
ecutiye Committee.


New York, July 12.-The Republican
National Executive Committee to-day
elected w. w. Dudley, OF Indiana, Treas
urer, and Colonel H. Swords, of Iowa,
Sergeant at Arms.
A conference was held between the
Executive Committee and representa-
tives Of the National and State Leagues,
The conference was private and lasted
about twenty minutes. President Tay-
lor, Of the Indiana State League, and
President Foster, of the National League,
addressed the committee, suggesting
plans for campaign work, and Col. Con-
ger and Mr.. Hayes replied, saying the
National Committee, as decided by the
resolution passed last night, were desir-
GUS of acting in harmony with the League
committees. They separated with the
understanding that they would confer
again this evening. Mrs. Foster also
addressed the Committee on a plan for
organizing Woman's Republican Club,
which was favorably considered last
night. Harrison, of North Carolina,
addressed the National Executive Com
mittee on the situation in his State. His
encouraging reports were heartily ap-
plauded. Others followed speaking on
promising indications of Republican
success in other States.

REPUBLICANS understand perfectly the
disastrous effect which the pro-Chinese
and anti-Labor record OF their candidate
for President is having upon their
chances of success. TLey have essayed
the childish game Of denying facts sus-
ceptible of outright demonstration. In
this case a lie well stuck to is not as good
as the truth. In the old days, when in
terest in politics was confined to com.
paratively small number of our popula
ton, it was easy to obscure the record ol
public man and to make black seem
white, but it can't be done now. 1t is i'm
possible to obliterate Harrison's record

Drift of the PoIt,IcaI Curre,,

Representative Fisher, of Michigan
who has better knowledge of the
politics of his State than any man in the
House, and who could have the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor if he
wanted it, returned to Washington to- day
from short visit home. In speaking
about the political situation he said:
/ II don't regard Michigan any longer
as doubtful State. I think we shall
carry it this fall, and say that with a
full knowledge of all the circumstances.
In 1884 the popular vote stood as follows
in round numbers: Blaine, 1872 900 !:
Cleveland, 10000; Butler, AZ, 900; and
st. John, $4,000. Four years ago the
issue was not 80 sharply defined on
tariff reform, but this year that will
be the only issue, and the Re-
publican platform is not satisfactory
to a majority of the voters in the
State, and in addition Harrison's nom
ination arouses no enthusiasm, as his
position on the Chinese question and
other questions of importance has not
been satisfactory. But there are other
reasons besides the weakness of the nom-
inees and the platform that make me
believe that the State will 60 Democratic.
Four years ago the Prohibition vote was
$4,000. This year l believe 1 have full
warrant in saying that it will reach 5O,-
600, and not 10 per cent. of that vote will
be drawn from the Democratic party.
The strides the Prohibition party has
been making in the last four years has
been something wonderful. Last week
they held their State Convention, which
was attended by 500 delegates. Never
before have there been more than rs to
100 delegates at one of their Conventions.
This time there was regular contest for
the nomination for Governor, while here.
tofore you had, If may use the express
sion, to hire man to take the place.
The Prohibition platform is very similar
to ours. 1t denounces the Republican
party, and severely condemns the
whisky plank in the Republican plat
form. AT Grand Rapids last week con-
ference was held between the leaders of
the Union Labor party, the Greenback-
ers and the Democrats, and it was
decided to run Fusion State ticket this
fall, and to fuse on the electoral ticket.
lhe Greenbackers are not as strong as
they were four years ago, as many of
them have been absorbed into the Demo-
cratic party, but they are still a very
respectable vote, and 30 is the Union
Labor party. If, then, the Democrats
can poll the full anti-Republican vote. It
seems to me that the State must 90
