No Republican Senator repudiated it either for himself or his party. General Harrison heard. acquiesced. and accepted it as the reason for his opposition to the measure. and the paltry. trifling. and frivolous excuse tie now attempts to make. in the hope of winning the support of the laboring classes he did not deign to consider for a moment in the dozen or more votes that he cast. will only subject him to greater ridicule and contempt. This is not all the evidence going to show that his opposition to this legislation was because he wished to open wide the doors to Chinese emigrants and to welcome them to full fellowship as citizens of this Republic. In 1880 in the city of Indianapolis a number of Chinamen were induced by Republicans to declare their intentions of becoming citizens. Upon this declaration they were miarched to the polls and voted the Republican ticket.
