Has Himself Interviewed For Mr.. HSrri-
sons Benefit.
INDIANAPOLIS, July l. Stephen B.
Elkins has been in the city several days
and ia the guest of General Harrison. In
speaking of the Chicago nominations Mr..
Elkins said they had been well received
all other the country with even more en-
thusiasm than was expected.
''The ticket" said Mr.. Elkins, sis 8
growing one and will grow. 1t has all the
elements of strength. Apart from Gen.
HairisOn's coming from doubtful State,
his life and character and public service
furnish an excellent platform for the con.
test. His life forces contest against hin,
to be one of principle. Personalities, SC
far as he is concerned, are to be eliminated
fromlthe campaign"
Mr.. Elkins commented on the fact thai
New York continuously supported Harri.
son in the convention, and said this action
was noticeable to the whole country that be
was the only man upon whom the different
factions in New York could unite. This oI
itself argues we'll for the ticket and Offers
personal hope for success. In my opinion,
Harrison will largely increase the Republi.
can vote in the country districts in that
State, and he will get the full party in New
York City and Kings county.
Mr.. Elkins alluded to the ratification
meeting in New York Friday night, say.
ing: 1T is noticeable that at that meeting
on the platform were Mr.. Patrick Ford,
editor of the Irish World, and many lead.
ing representatives of the various local
labor organizations. The presence of Mr..
Ford indicates that the Irish and laboring
people of the East understand the issue oi
protection. There is no more ardent ad
vocate of that principle in the country than
he, and his presence there has inspired and
encouraged leading Irishmen throughout
the country. This 1 have found to be
true especially in Nebraska, Missouri and
Illinois. Mr.. Ford is great man and is &
power in politics."

knights withdraw from q Trade Assem-
bly-A Boycott on Beer.
CHICAGO, July 1.-One probable result
of to- days meeting of the Trade and Labor
Assembly will be the withdrawal of those
Knights of Labor who still remained
faithful to it, and the unfriendly feeling OF
the Knights toward the Assembly will be
intensified. By "a vote of twenty-five TO
fifteen it was proposed to form coalition
with the Federation of Labor, which is the
only active competitor OF the, Knights as a
labor organization. Several delegates, who
are Knights, at once withdrew. After
an executive session of the assembly
two weeks ago notice was sent to the
employing brewers that unless they rein
stated their workmen, the trade and labor
assembly would recommend that all labor
ing men refrain from drinking beer for
thirty days. No answer has been received
from Ihe brewers. To-day it was moved
that the delegates present pledge them
selves individually to refrain from beer for
thirty days and present the matter to their
Unions. Thus was carried by vote OF 4C
Ryes against 9 NAYS.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July 1.-Yester-
day and to-day abundant evidence has
cropped out here that many of the South.
ern delegates to the recent Chicago Con-
yention made nice thing out of it. Yes
terday one Of the most prominent colored
delegates from this State wss going around
town feeling pretty ''how come you so, "
and, as he freely declared, spending his
little Doodle money" He went into a
book-store and purchased fifty cents worth
of writing paper. He reached into his
pants pocket, and drew forth q roll, handed
the clerk ten-dollar bill, and, with
knowing wink, remarked, soto voee,
''This pocket contains Alger's money, and
that ten is the smallest change ] have. !"
Hon. William Youngblood, member Of the
National Executive Committee, and resid-
ing here, is authority for the statement
that Alger and his men purchased the votes
of fifty Southern delegates that went to
the Convention with Sherman as their
fixed choice. He says the price paid was
81, 500 in cash, all expenses in Chicago and
their expenses both ways. Alger's Doodle
was ample and flowed freely. The result
was all the Southern delegates, or at least
fifty Of them, have come home flush with
greenbacks. Sherman should have Young
blood summoned in his grievance case
against Alger.

ing of the railroad men Of this city was
held last evening. The purpose Of the
meeting was to organizs o substantial op-
position TO Gen. Harrison on account Of
the exceedingly hostile stand which he
took against the railroad men in the strike

made chairman Of the meeting and Ber-
nard F. Kelley secretary. DIR. Rocker
made q speech in which he strongly con-
demned Gen. Harrison for his officious ef-
forts against the strikers. DR.. Rocker
spoks for only few moments, but his SEN
timents were loudly applauded. He said
that he was q railroad man at the time OF
the strike himself, being employed on the
/ p. & G. railway, and had q vivid re-
membranos of Gen. Harrison's unpopular
and unnecessary opposition to the strikers.
Il WAS the talk of the hour when Gen.
Harrison urged Gov. Williams to order out
the militia and upon his refusal to do 90
Gen. Harrison had famed and fretted and
vowed that II he were Governor Of Indi-

HELENA, NJ. T., July 1.-Chln "an
Foo, q wealthy Chinese tea merchant o'
San Francisco, is in Helena on visit 70
his brother, Chang Foo. Chin Wah Is an
intelligent gentleman, who speaks Euglisn
tluently. He has knowledge of the affairs
of the leading governments possessed Dy
few Americans. He takes keen interest
in the political situation and claims 10
have taken out his naturalization papers.
He was seen by correspondent
who asked him about Harrison's chances
for carrying the Golden State. He said
that no man could have been nominated oy
the Republicans who could poll as large a
vote in California as Mr.. Harrison.
"Isn't it true that California wants the
Chinese to go?"
'Nothipg of the kind. That cry was
taken up by thC hoodlums after Dennis
Kearney had pr, uulgated it in bitter
speeches he made lgainst our race in his
notorious sand lots addresses
"The citizens and the Cinnamon are,
then. on the best terms?"
Exactly, the prejudice against our race
is wholly confined to the Ignorant and
illiterate classes"
"Aud they are"
Democrats. The enlightened people in
California are Republicans. There Is
large Chinese population in California, as
all know, but what very few people know
is our power and strength there. Chinese
are better fixed, financially, according to
their numbers than Americans, and l am
willing to wager any amount that we con-
tribute more generously to campaign
fund than any race in the United States.
In your slang, money talks"
THE CHINESE ARE ASSESSED.
"Do you mean TO say that the Chinese
are assessed for campaign purposes ?"
"Most assuredly. Why shouldn't they
be? We don't wish to see any one elected
10 Office inimical to our interests. We
have strong, sturdy friends among
the Republicans of the slope, who
are always on the alert to
further our interests, and it is nothing
more than right that we should assist them
with our meaus-supply the sinews Of war,
as it were."
':The Chinese, then, are all Rspubli'
cans ?"
ITO man. The allegiance Of the col.
ored race to the Republican party is moth
ing compared with the love the Chinese
have for that party. The time will come,
and that shortly, when we shall be allowed
| to vote, and then ii is but natural that we
should remember our friends and punish
their enemies ut the ballot box"
THAT may be true, but how will you
make your power felt next November"
Through our money, as told you.
for one will give $50, 600 to the Republican
campaign fund, and / stand pledged to
raise $500, 900. / can do that easily. That
amount of money added to what the State
and National Committees will raise
will insure the Republicans victory in
California"
THE STATE CAN BE CARRIED WITH
MONEY.
"You are positive that California will &c
Republican,"
81 am positive for this reason-I know
enough OF inside politics to know that
with money the floating population can be
induced to vote for the party which pays
them. California has that floating popu'
lation. 1t can be purchased and Chiness
money will purchase it. We are all fol
