called which equalize Cinnamon with white men,
politically, and as hborers, and Mr.. Gorham IS
| true representative of Republican politics
| Mr. Booth sticks to it, and in this particular
specifically says he stands by his record
The Sacramento Union sticks to it, and pub
fishes to all the world that it would despise Mr.
Booth if he retracted. 'flN t"
The tariff factions, railroad companies ana
monopolists everywhere stick to it, for they can
make money by cheap Chinese labor, and the
National Republicans stick to them
The National Republican party stick to it dl-
rectly. as their abrogation OF the Chinese license
tax clearly shows. -.- -..- $3.50

This vote is the best possible index to the
real feelings and purposes Of the Radical part.
in the Senate on the naturalization OF Chinese
Analized it shows a very much larger majority
for it than appears At least four of the nays
were cast by Radicals who, Ike Drake and Ed
u,lnds were for Chinese naturalization, but op-
posed to putting it on the Conkling bill. ms
one element leaves the real division OF the oena-
tors voting at thirty-one for the Chinaman to
eighteen against him; this minority of eighteen
includes three Radicals nom the Pacific Coast
aho voted may because they could not DO
Otherwise OF the twonty-three Senators absent
or not voting less Norton, sInce deceased, ii ls
well ascertanrd that at least fifteen are Tor
Chinese naturalization. This counts as AGAINST
it the absent two Democrats, and two Radicals
from the Pacific coast, Cole and Nye. Ihis
makes the real strength Of the opposing parties
in the Senate on the question to stand about as
follows on a full vote: For Chinese natufalizSt-
ton. As; against it, %, counting as reliable the
three Radicals from the Pacific coast, who cast
their votes against it as above.
The National Republican doctrine of the
equality of the races everywhere and in every
particular, necessarily sticks to it, and embrace
the hcresy Of this coole letter, and the Sacra-
nento Uaio.' il It's Issue of the Dist of August,
distinctly says that Mr.. Booth is Infinitely mort
pleasing nt the U,io1) as regards his views
on nationa, o tic.
In the IA of these focts can any reasonable
man doulr Int th,t tAe Chinese plank in the
Republican platform Of this State Was intended
for party purposes only; to dupe the lnhorine
men of thc ,,antry into the support of the itadi-
cal ticket; 10 l,isio}d the men Of their own party
whom they know to be opposed this detestoble
race in every shape and form whateyer.
Is it not certain that there is nothing in this
State platform tlat the national Radicals are
bound to respect, and that If they continue in
power that they will drive straight tn. ouSh it,
as they did through the constitution Of the STATE,
when by The Infamous repeal of the Chinese Ii
cense tax they substantially exempted those
thieves from taXator and increased the burdens
Of our people.
