HE WAS A KNOW NOTHINU.
THAT KEl'OKD.
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."

Albany is now standing erect on her feet,
hut it is a question wholly with her own
people w hether she will remain so. There
are many competing towns In Oregon, and
those that outstrip others In the march of
progess w ill owe their success to the spirit,
ncrgy and cntcrprite of their ovn citizens.
The fate of Albany is in the hands of her
friends and the pucstion Is to act or not
to net.
