declaring. with the usual number of ,chreas,s,
itself to be the especial champion Of free white
labor in our State and ON the Pacific Coast,
uttered NO single word Of praise or encourage
ment for their brothers in California, who, as
agreat political organization, are making
determined fight for the accomplishment of
the same avowed objects And not content
with passing in silence and with studied neg
lect their friends In California, they went
even further. and declared that they had no
sympathy with either political party now, as
the Democracy of California are in a death
grapple with the Asiatic monster-in the very
jaws as il were, ofthis fearful adversary. seek
ing either to expel or exterminate it: and as
that seems to be the precise mission Of the
WOrkingmen's Convention, We fail to under
stand why they saw 1T to disavow all sympathy
with their brethren over the mountains. We
have heard il surTnised, however that there
Was large-sized African in the wood pile ;
that Sharon, Stewart, Winters, Baldwin & Co.,
through the plant tools which wealth and
political influence always commands, found no
difficulty in doctoring the convention to suit
eign will that the Democracy of California
should receive aid and comfort from the
Workingmen's Convention OF Nevada, they
took good care that no such action was had.
If there was anything further wanting to show
that the Woringmen's Convention of Storey
county was cheat and farce, abundant
proof would be furnished in the fact that a
mutual admiration society sprung into exist
ance very suddenly between il and the Sharon
Stewart Chinese organ at Virginia City, which
has traduced, denounced and vilifed the anti
Chinese sentiment of the miners leagues and
unions with a vein and relish which, at times
has been truely refreshing; but since the late
convention, it '.roars as gently any sucking
dove" for which generous forbearance the
Miners Convention becomes correspondngly
ktfectionate, and in the gushing ardor OF its
young love, would not say a word to wounds it
for all the world. There are some Democrats
belonging TO the organization who are good
and true men, and honestly believe this is a
white mans country and should not he given

box or in the field of labor, bat they were sold

were told by the willy Radicals, when they
wanted to express their sympathy with the
California Democracy, who they believed was
making a similar Egh. with their own upon
another part Of the field, that it would never

him the whole Democratic party of California.
That this was Radical trick to catch Demo
cratic Sulls, there is not shadow of doubt
and We would advise honest Democrats who
have been thus tricked and sold by the IN
scrBpulous tools Of Sharon, Stewart and Bald
win, to withdraw from such an unnatural md
dishonest association and get back into the
grand old party of white men, where honest
men make honest platforms which give candid
expression to the sentiments of those whom
they represent. The Workinmen' = and anti
Chinese White Labor Convention. pattcd on
the back and cajoled by the Enterprise. is the
best joke of the season!
After that, We would not be at all surprised
to see Fall harnesscd to the big drum. Geisse
playing the fife, aud Torrsy carrying that
beautiful new banner, marching at the head OF
the next procession ofthe Workingmen's Pro-
tective Union, which parades through the
streets Of Unionville. They are all three hard
working men, and have signifed their entir,

pies of the Virginia convention. President

Der OF the society any day; and if he should
he will become a formidable aspirant for IN,
Presidency, and with Geisse and Torrev tc
manipulate the wires, will be dangerous
rival. Since Sharon, Daggett, Stewart and
baldwin, through their tools, were enabled tc
manage the Virginia convention we can see
no improperly in allowing Fall and Torroy tc
run the Unionville branch OF the tumble-dowr
concern.
