Appearances are not at all deceptive when they Indicate that the friends of Mr. Harrison are much disturbed over their candidate's Chinese record. At first yehemen denials of that record were made by all thet organs all over the country, but the Con gressional Record furnished such indisput able evidence of the fact that Mr. Harrison had voted for Chinese immigration in all its stages that these friends were compelled inr their alarm to resort to some other way of defense. These friends have brought for ward and published the' following letter which they say shows that Harrison has changed his mind : , Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 29, iSSS. Rm. J, B. Brant, St. Louis, Mo. My , Dear Sir : Your kind letter of February 28th has been received. I am very much obliged to you for the kind interest which you take in my behalf. You knew me well enough while here to know that 1 am no schemer for place, and I have not fallen from grace in that respect since you left here. I did vote with the great body of the re publicans in the Senate against the Chinese Restriction bill.as it was called. It seemed to me then to be in violation of our treaty with China, and it was a little hard for me to let goof the old idea that this was the free home of all comers. I think there has been a very general change of sentiment on that subject since. We do not need to ask anybody to come to this country now,as we formerly did.and I think we haye a right to preserve our own institutions by exercising a fair election as to who shall come here. 1 do not like that class of immigration that comes in gangs ; that can be driven into pens and on ship board, and hired, not by personal contract, but by bosses,and the Chinese immigration is very much of this sort. Very truly yours, Benj. Harrison. It is proper to say first that a great many people think this letter was not written on the "day of its date," but that it was an after consideration prepared nunc pro tunc to meet an emergency, and that Harrison never knew anything about it until he saw it in print: If the letter is genuine it does not help matters for Harrison any. In the first place it comes too late. As early as February 28th last and even much earlier, the presidential bee was humming vigor ously in Harrison's bonnet. Next, In this letter,he docs not deny that he voted against Chinese restriction. So that question is settled. He seems to defend his vote by savin? that it was cast "with the treat hodv of the republicans in the Senate," but the laboring men of this coast who were using every endeavor to check the flow of cheap Chinese labor here to compete witli them will be slow to see this is any defense, but on the contrary they will be the more cer tainly convinced that Mr. Harrison on prin ciple was opposed to restriction, because his party leaders were in harmony with hiin in opposition to the bill. In conclusion, he does not like that "immigration that comes ineanirs." Well.this is too thin. The best immigration that has reached our shores from Germany.Norway.Swcden and other countries has come here in gangs, so this shows that this protest of Harrison's is a weak sham, a mere subterfuge. The peo ple of the Pacific coast are opposed to the Chinese coming here, whether they come in gangs or singly. It is a matter of su preme indifference to wage people in what way they come. The supreme fact is they do not want them to come here at all. Mr. E. O. Norton, of Salem, savs in 1S54 he was a resident of Indianapolis. That about that time Ben Harrison moved into that town, and that in the latter part of 1854 or the early part of 1S55 Ben Harrison joined the Know Nothings In that city. n hen asked for the particulars and his means of knowledge, lie 6aid that Ben Har rison, J. Nottingham, .who was then super intendent of the Bellfountoin R. R., Jas. Hooker, Gen, Freight Agent of that road, and himself all were initiated at the 6amc time. Very shortly afterwards the order began to grow somewhat unpopular, owing to the disposition of many members to show a spirit of mob violence in attempting to rid the country of foreigners. Mr. Nor ton says nearly everybody was initiated into the order when it was first instituted, but it soon grew unpopular. Lorenzo D. Whiting settled at Tiskilwa, Illinois in 184S. He helped organize the republican' party of Bureau county in 1S54. For 18 years in succession he was elected to the state senate by the republicans. He can not support Harrison. Hear him : "The Republican party, through its last convention, transformed itself into a high tariff and monopoly party. I cannot think of the convention that nominated Harrison as a Republican convention. It was a high tariff and monopoly assemblage. It took an entirely new departure on the tariff, leaving all the grounds it has formerly oc-1 cupied. I would retain the internal reven ue taxes on spirits and tobacco as one of the permanent sources of revenue. I fully indorse Mr. Blaine when he said, not long ago, that he would tax whisky so long as there was any whisky to be taxed. I fully indorse Presidents Grant, Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland in their declared purpose to keep the taxes on spirits and tobacco so as to give a proper opportunity for reform ing the war tariff. Personally, believing Grover Cleveland to be the foremost cham pion of the rights of the people, I shal' support at the polls the views he advanced in his brave message. Grover Cleveland has grown in public estimation, in ability and in character. He represents a great principle, and when a principle is at stake I shall be true to my convictions- This year, to be consistent, Imust indorse by ballot, pen and voice the platform of the St. Louis Convention."
