But the Democratic House would not. and the bill "sleeps the sleep that knows no waking." And yet. Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from Indiana in his speech on Saturday. amongst other things. in substance. states that the Republican party was opposed to the repeal of the contract immigration law. opposed to the passage of laws restricting the immigration of the Chinese. and that General Harrison was opposed to the restriction of Chinese immigration. and desired to confer the right of citizenship upon the Chinese. The gentleman from Indiana denounces General Harrison as an enemy of labor. In reply I say General Harrison risked his life for years in the Army in defense of labor It doesnotlieinthe mouth of the gentleman to denounce him a- the gentleman from Indiana did denounce him. and while I listened to the misrepresentations of the gentleman from Indiana touching the Republican party and its candidate for the Presidency.
