THE REPUBLICANS AND CHINESE.

ton, Chinese labor and MoDgoLan coolylsm,
and no effort of few insincere denagogues
on this coast belonging to that organization,
and who desire to hold the Offices in this
State and continue to do the stealing, can re-
lieve it of that great odium. Every member
of the Republican organization who votes
that ticket is bound by the acts of Congress
aud the Grant Administration, and must
share with and bear his just proportion of the
odium attaching to the acts of his party in
Washington city or elsewhere. No individ-
ual member Of the party can escape from the
beastly and corrupt acts Of his party without
lirect, public and positive rerunciation of said
lcts and the party that commits them. The
'ubsidzing of the Chinese steamship line was
intended to aid coolie importation, by giving
wealthy monopoly five hundred thousand
lollars q year to farnish cheap transportation
% cheap Mongolian labor to reach this coun-
Try, and this was Republican act, done by
the Republican party, and binding upon every
member of that unholy organization. The
Burlingame Chinese treaty wac the next act
IN this mongrel drama, and was intended to
place the Chinese on complete equality
With white men, to induce the heather Mo-
golian hords to swarm TO this coast, and to
rob the States of the power to discourage
Chinese importation, by discriminating legis-
Luton. The Fifteenth Amendment was an
other measure of the same character, and in
ended to go even to authorizing the enfran-
-hisement of the Chinese heathens, and max
ng voters out of them, which will be yet
accomplished if this Republican party remains
in power Under that amendment Congress
is authorized to enforce its provisions by APP
propriate legislation. In pursuance of this
authority Congress has already passed law
a5olishing our State Statute for the collection
E foreign miners licenses, thus robbing our
counties of about the only tax that can be
collected from heather Asiatics. In addition
to all these acts, Congress came within
lew votes, but two short weeks ago, of max
ing these coolie hcathens voters, and was
only deferred from the act by the pleadngs
Of such men as Bill Stewart, Tom Fitch and
others from this coast, that it would defeat
5heir reelection. No effort was made to
disguise the fact that the Republicans in
tended to enfranchisc the Chinese, and the
postponement was only tolerated on the
ground of expediency, until after the next
lection These acts are all the work of the
Republican party, and every man who has
md continues to vote that ticket is equally
responsible These laws, treaties and Con
stitutional amendments are matters Of record
II the archieves of our Government, placed
there by the Republican party, in defiance Of
| brave, determined and unceasing opposition
by the entire Democracy of the country.
II ere is no mistaking the doctrines and ac-
t ons of the two great political parties Of the
country on these questions, for all know that
the Democracy have opposed, while the Re
publicans have enforced them on the country
The eternal seal of condemnation of the great
laborlng white masses of the country is now
registered against these vile acts and theil
perpetrators, and no guilty participator, OF
alder or abettor, can or shall escape the just
odium and political annhation that will fol-
low. If the Republican party has been con-
sistent in any one thing it has been in legis-
,atins for the elevation of the degraded race.
,nd the dragging down of white men. Bul
few days ago the monSrel committee fol
this same Negro and Chinese party met ano
resolved that it was opposed to Chinese i'm
portaton, with as much impudence and ef-
srontry as if the whole public did not know
hat they were resolving lie, and one tha
very act of their party nails to the country

Republicans that voted for Geo. G. Gorhan
