Carter Harrison vesterdoy seemedd dise posed to present the petition, accompavied Ly & briet speech In which he would take the ground In favor of the sanctity ol the right of petitioo, but would insist that he opposed calling tle attention of Congrees to the subject at preseut.

It 4a not so certain that Harrison thought the operatiors of the plan would be to defeat the tu- troduction of the petition, av any une lamillar with the history of the rules of tha llouse, or ot the courtesy due menibers of the Statadule- sgution, might have known, The plau-was that Tlarrison should refuse 10 personnlly - preseut the petitiou on thh ground that bedesired to EXAMINE THE QUKBTION {n Chicago, rnd Gld not think ¢ right or just ou the eve uf adjourmment to present a peti- tion of that sort without opportunity (o Tauswer, Accordingly, it was sugvested thut the petition should be submitted 1o the House by the Bpeaker, tn the expectatfon that o this wuy it could be read, or st least referred to the Judiciary Commie tee, and thus obtaiu a staudivg ju Congress, ‘The petition, accordingly, ubout 1 o'clock, was bunded to Speaker Randull, doubtiess vy Jlar- rison, Theodore Sheldon heing udvised of every wovemeat, sud noar at hund.
