I repeat that the amendments offered by the Senator from Vermont . and for which Senator Harrison voted. are more in harmony with the treaty. more lawyerlike and more appropriate. than those against which Senator Harrison voted. In none of the discussions was one word uttered by him. and. I think. by none of the Republicans. in favor of Chinese immigration. They did not speak in f&vor of immigration then. they were legislating in favor of carrying out a treaty to exclude Chinese immigration. and all concurred that a proper bill ought to be passed. The only difference was in regard to the details of the bill. A bill was finally passed. as I have shown. which was vetoed by the President.
