BEN HARRISON'S RECORD.

How IIe Voted on the Chinese Bill, and
His Record on the Contract Labor Bill
is all Square-HIs Great Popularity.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 2G.-In the
strenuous campaign Of 1880 no man in
Indiana fought Hancock and English
harder or with better effect than did
Benjamin Harrison. The impression
which he produced was so strong that
when the count showed that the Repub.
licans had carried majority OF the
Legislature there was little other thought
in the party than to send him to the
United States Senate. He has since
been attacked because OF his attitude
regarding legislation for the exclusion of
Chinese from this country.
In the earliest attempts at Anti Chin
csc legislation Mr.. Harrison simply
shared in the conviction OF nearly all the
other able lawyers OF the Senate, that
while it was desirable to shut out these
undesirable people the object must be
accomplished without the violation OF
existing treaties with China. When, in
the Forty-ninth Congress, Mr.. Fair in
troduced his bill to restrict Chinese i'm.
migration and the Committee on For
eign Affairs amended it so us to conform
with treaty stipulations, Mr.. Harrison
voted for It's passage both in the commit
tee and in the Senate. Mr.. Mitchell, OF
Oregon, was a chief promoter OF this leg.
islation and he was constrained to say OF
the bill: 81 have no kind OF doubt that
it is as strong n bill Us could be drawn,
and, ut the same time, have kept within
the provisions OF our treaty.
1t is one ofthe best bills ever reported
by any committee on the subject
1t is only needful to add to this that
the bill which Mr.. Mitchell praised,
most elTectually put up the barriers
against the Chinese.
On the bill to prevent the importation
OF contract labor Senator Harrison made
an argument in favor OF keeping out i'm.
migrants brought to this country under
stipulations to work for lower wages
than those prevailing here.
In the autumn election OF 1886 the
fight was, in the main, whether Re-
publican Legislature should be elected
that would return Mr.. Harrison to the
United States Senate for another six
years. He was the biggest figure in the
canvass. The Democrats had so
gerrymandered the legislative dis.

NEW YORK COMMENTS.
Democratic Praise for HHrrison-A Popular
Uprising Predicted.

NEw York, June 2O.-The World
(Dem., to-day says: "It will be said, Of
Mr.. Harrison that he is nominated for
his name; that II his grandfather had
not been President OF the United States,
and his great-grandfUther signer OF the
Declaration OF Independence, he would
not have been the candidate. But this
is idle talk. Mr.. Harrison is available
without reference to the honorable posi-
ton occupied by his ancestors.
"In the first place he Is prominent
citizen OF doubtful State, and he had
the support Of its delegates all but un.
animohsly. He has good soldier record,
having gone into the war Second Lieu
tenant Of volunteers and having come
out OF it Brevet Brigadier General. He
is thoroughly equipped lawyer and he
has experience as a statesman, having
served creditably for six years in the
United States Senate. He has always
acted as straight party man, and his
honesty has never been questioned.
Moreover, he has always been a practical
Civil Service reformer and an extreme
protectionist, and when in Congress he
favored tax reduction by the abolition
OF internal revenue duties"
The Sun Dem says: General Har.
rison is first rate lawyer OF the second
class. He has served six years in the
United States Senate, where he proved
himself substantial, firm, high-minded
and Independent man. While lots OF
great men were voting in favor OF the
law to exclude the Chinese from the
United States, Harrison voted against It.

and is not afraid to act upon them
whether they are popular or not. II
may now lose him votes in California
and Oregon, but it will gain him yotet

Creed Haym9nd Says California VIII be
For Observation-Disclosures the Issue.
CHICAGO, June 26.-"Our leader tele-
graphed for us not to vste any more for
him." said Chairman Creed Raymond,
of the California delegation, last night.
"After his cable message was received,
however, we gave him sixteen votes on
the first ballot. The order to quit firing
was the order OF retreat, and to that !
am not accustomed. We had it all fixed
to nominate Blaine Monday morning,
but his pretended friends here have been
keeping the wires red hot, urging him
to give express orders to his supporters
to cease. After Boutelle, Of Maine, made
that speech in the convention, which he
had no right to make, Blaine's candi-
dacy was no longer to be considered.
We would still have voted for Blaine had
the Alabama and Arkansas delegates,
who came first on the roll, united with
us. proposed to them that il they
would stay we would still support Blaine.
Those cable messages would never have
been sent had Mr.. Blaine been fully
familiar with the situation. He had
been misinformed by pretended friends.

Republicans applied that principle to the
Chinese, but II was mistaken applica-

Chinese never sought political reCOgni-

midst as II they were in China, then
those Republicans opposed their admis-
sion to this country us matter OF prin-
ciple. The Democrats declared against
the Chinese; tomorrow they would de-
clare in their favor, il any votes were to
be gained.
'SThe great question OF this country is

ton for the employment Of industries

SHAMoKIN, Pa, June 26.-This even

the Pennsylvania & schuylkill Valley
Railroad at Cable City, by which six
laborers were killed and four ia-
tally injured. The names OF tho

the effect OF the nomination OF General
Harrison, you must excuse me from any
further response to your questions"
At half-past nine p. IN. the news OF
Levi z. Morton's nomination for Vice

tions, he is not involved in the bitter

nothing in his nomination to interfere

The Hfrald (Dem.) says: "The two
Republican candidates, Messrs. Harrison

candidates, upright and honorable men,
The fact is a great gain TO the country.
There can be no excuse on either side

the election OF another Harrison will
bring the same results. The needs OF

Serious Trouble Expected Between the
Riotous Factions In Kansas.
WIcnIrA, KAs., June 26.-The militia
has returned from Stevens county, where
they had been ordered to quell the riot
that was feared between Hugotan and
Woodsdale over the canvass OF votes on
the railroad bonds.
The County Commissioners met at
Hugotan on Saturday. The militia pre-
served the greatest caution and kept
peace in all quarters. Col. Woods, the
originator OF the trouble, attempted to
enter Hugotan with a party OF men, but
they were all disarmed about mile
from town and returned to Woodsdale.
When the canvass was completed it
showed that the bonds were defeated
by small majority. The matter is still
unsettled and will be carried to the Su-
prene Court. 1t is believed that the
company will so back to Hugotan soon.
Serious trouble is hourly expected.

Levi Parsons Morton, the nominee
for Vice President, was born in the town
Of Shoreham, Vermont, May IS, 1924.
In early life he became clerk in a
country store, and the aptitude for busi-
ness which he developed caused him to
rise rapidly in business. In 1850 he be-
came a member in the mercantile firm
of Beebe, Morton 4 Co., Of Boston.
Four years later he removed to New
York, where he established the firm OF
Morton and Grinnell in 1868 he found
ed the banking house OF Morton, Bliss
& Co., OF New York, and that Of Morton,
Rose & Co., OF London. The latter
acted us the fiscal agents OF the United
States Government from 1873 to 1884.
The two firms were active in the syndi'
Gates that negotiated United States
bonds and in the payment OF the Geneva
award OF Sl5,50O,0OO and the Halifax
fishery award OF s., 100000.
In 1878 Mr.. Morton was appointed
Honorary Commissioner to the Paris Ex-
position. The same year he was elected
10 Congress, and in 1883 he was re-elect-
ed. In the latter year he declined the
nomination for Vice President. Presi-
dent Garfield offered to make him either
Secretary of the Navy or Minister to
France. Mr.. Morton accepted the ap-
pointment to the latter position, which
he filled from 1881 to 1885. He was in.
in securing the removal OF
the restrictions upon the importations OF
American pork, and American corpora
tions secured a legal status in France
through his intercessions.
He was American Commissioner Cen
eral to the Electrical Exposition held in
Paris, represented the United States Mt
the Submarine Cable Convention, and
in the name OF the United States pub
licly received the statue OF Liberty En-
the World from the reprcsen-
tatiyes Of the French Government. His
home is at Ellerslic, at Rhinebeck on
the Hudson, where he has resided since
1887. He received the degree OF Doctor
Of Laws from Dartmouth College in 1881,
and Middlebury College awarded him
similar honor in 1882,
