JUST So-The Democracy claimed
during the campaign that the Fifteenth
Amendment would admit Chinese to the
ballot box, or that under it the State could
not exclude thom; but now the law officer
OF the State, the Democratic ATTORNEY
General 10 Hamilton, says in his report to
the Legislature
"We may, by proper legislation under
the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend
ment and outside Of any question of SER
vitude, so regulate the question of suffrage
as to render this State independent of any
apprehended danger from this population.

and spirit of the Constitution of the State
and of the United States, and that il would
