The morning call., 1892-06-09

man Spence and others of the delegation,
who say that they are just as good Republi-
cans as Mr.. De Young and know about as
well as he what they are doing.
The former is authority for the statement
that fully as many kilograms are arriving
here favoring Harris0n's nomination as for
Blaine. In fact some of the best men of
the State, for example Louis Sloss, are in
favor of the denomination of the President,
and as they represent the sentiment of the
men who are always to the front with their
money and influence when a campaign is TO
be fought, their views are having great fn-
fluence in holding administration men firm
in line.
George A. knight, who is 10 second the
nomination of Blaine and who is a member
OF the platform Committee is to the front
with resolution which is likely to create
stir.
1t Is understood that the subcommittee of
foreign relations of which Knight is chair
man, regard 1t with some favor and George
openly declares that If they suppress 1t he
will Introduce it on the floor of the eonyen
tiOn. 1t reads:
I'VE view with alarm the flood of an un-
desirable immigration TO our republic, and
earnestly advocate that immediate legisla-
tion be had which will protect our laborers
from contact and competition with the
pauper labor OF foreign lands, and that the
strlctest law should be passed prohibiting
the landing OF such foreigners in the United
States. As American citizenship is priZrd
by all OF us as sacred privilege to be en-
joyed only by the patriotic and intelligent,
we demand that in the naturalization of
foreign born not one person born under
foreign flag be given the rights of an Ameri-
can citizen unless he is citizen of good re-
pute Of the country from which he immi-
grated, and can read and write in his
native tongue"
1t is easy to imagine that such resolu.
ton Will create something OF stir and prob.
ably provoke some hostile criticism.
Knight is also preparing his speech in
support OF Blaine, and he intimates that he
will seek to make the effort of his life
whatever that means.
Senator FELTON, has been for some time at
work upon resolution which has the in
dorsement of John Sherman, and which it
is hol ed will meet with approval Of both
the gold and silver men. just what may be
the nature Of the sentiment expressed is not
known, but it is said to be strong as far as
it goes.
Mike Dunn arrived from San Francisco
to-day and was iD consultation with Phil
Crimmins tonight. This reminds me, by
the way, that there were rumors afioat to
the effect that this fight if carried out on its
present basis may result in the Topping off
of some of the heads of Federal officials in
San Francisco.
l am told, in fact, by gentleman who
knows what is going on, that Crimmns and
Kelly have quietly controlled very
large share Of the Federal patron
age Of the city and that it has
been used to further De Young's designs on
seat In the Senate. This is why FELTON, is
for Harrison, and II the President is
knocked out by Blaine he may take it into
his head to make few reprisals and at the
same time to help FELTON, out incidentally.
The story goes for what it is worth, and
such value may be attached to it as the
reader may see fit in his own opinion. 1t is
at least plausible, and bears the stamp Of
truth.
