CIScINNATI, June 1.-THE Commercial
Gazette says: The opponents of Harrison
are honest in purpose. We would have
preferred the nomination of James q.

opinion, victory in November might have
been easier, but since the majority have
decided in his favor we are unqualifiediy
for Benjamin Harrison, and so will gladly
do our utmost to insure his triumphant
election.

Dawes Puyal!up Bill Likely to Pass.

Delamater. who was sent 10 Washington
City by the Commercial Club TO assist
Peter Stanup in securing the passage of
bill for the unconditional opening of the
Puyallup Indian reservation has returned,
and says he believes modification of the
Allen bill may be passed, at least provid-
ing for the right-of-way of railroads
through the reservation. The Dawes bill,
he says, invalidates contracts made with
Indians for the sale of their lands. The
Allen bill does not invalidate the con-
tracts, but leaves the matter for the courts
to determine. At any rate Mr.. Dalamater
is convinced the Dawes bill will be passed
if nothing further is done. The bill pro-
vides for the sale of 10000 acres of the
reservation at public auction.
