I think I state it too strongly against General Harrison. but let it stand as I have stated it. The letter will speak for itself. I say the fair inference from the statement is that if the amendment bad been adopted Senator Harrison would have favored the bill. and it shows that he favored the restriction of Chinese immigration. that can not be denied. Well. the bill passedpassed without the vote of Senator Harrison for or against it. and went to the President. He vetoed it. and vetoed it upon the very ground upon which Senator Harrison had opposed the bill. and I say if the rest of the Senate had been as wise and acted as judiciously as Senator Harrison did. and bad adopted his views in regard to that amendment. it would have saved all the subsequent trouble of passing a new bill.
