Kearney has done more for the Chinese
than amy other man Nv America. Through
him the idea has obtained in the Eas, That
none but the low, huudlum, commuuistic
element oi this coast, with Kcarncy nj H.
head, is opposed to Chinese inmigrnlion.
Nothing could be more false. Leave
Kearncy nnd Ills followers entirely ont ot
the question, aud an certain that ninety.
nine per cent. of the people on this eoasl
are opposed to this immigration. Kenrney's
cry has been, "The Chinese must 90 I" I
have said ncthing Of the kind. l am sila-
ply OPP used to amy more coming.
Again we are informed that the white
capitalist IL to b anne for the uastiness "
the Cinnamon. The capitalist owns lhe
houses occupied by the Chinese; whites
only vote, aud enact all the snnitary *
burough laws, aud ii the Chinamun cnutin.
ues in the nastincss here that lie was bOru
aud raised IN, the white man mua he to
blame. 1t certainly must be that the cap
| alist allows the Cinnamon no soap or
water. Just think of H. These gentlemen
with Daniel Webster" heads deprived of
the use Of soap aud water ly the cruel
capitalist! Candillv, Mr.. Raub, You are
giving uR TOO much runsense. II vuu
know anything of this matter at all, you
certainly know that the Chinese, individu-
ally md collectively, np disgusting, filthy
creatures. have seen them in their
dwellings IN the city, IN the village, and
in the country, aud upon my honor it Is The
same thing in all cusoa But short time
sirce, the authorities of San Francisco scut
from that cilv TO China, twelve l,rrrs.
Now here is foul loalhsOme disen.e, the
.natural result Of hthincss in persHai
L..
your immaculate Chiu,se Nery strange
And again, MIR. Raub, your Imagination
hds ran away with YOU when yuu state
that nine-ieuths ulsihe people in Cnlifor.
MIA prefer Chinese cuoks. But Oue private
family on this whole divide en,ploy Chiucse
conks or domcstics. And il YOU have ar
rived at that stage th,i Chinese cooking
can be en- en- 10y. you with fulI appetite.
| consider yours, gastronomicnlly, case OF
total depraviiv.
But | must conclude. | will just touch
one other point. The Chinese students
are not unpopular in their cl'sses" Are
those students, sons OF wealthy pandarms,
princes, &C.. to be compared with these low
coolie ,lives who are driving the lnhuIinl
man here to the wall? Very feeble argu-
meni, sir.
Aud the "dccp hidden argument OF those
(myself rrlud,d. uf course) opposed to
Chinese immigration, il todivide the north
into three parties, aud Thus secure ex.rehel
authority over us IN 1880" should never
have written word on this subject il yru
had not written what | considered totally
untrue, and calculated to create false i'm.
pres5iuns in the minds OF Eastern friends.
You have no right to tell tie Ohio peo-
nle that this is n OueStiuu Of no tmDurl-
ance. The newspapers OF this coast are
awake and full Of matter pertaining tn
this question. | Will give YOU y quotation
from the Sn"FrauciScn Reekiy CdH June 8,
1879 California cannot cast her vote for
y p eidrnli;l candidate who favors unIiu-
it 1t Chinese immigration. With us this
question ia al important. rhis coast -h"s
twelve electoral votes, which cannot in Jus
tice he given to any candidate who is no
with us in this natter" Ii YOU wish ex-
rebel authority put in nomination for Pres
ident on the Republic ~ ticket man who
favUrs Chinese immigration. II not then
give us Grant or Blaine. / agree with Mr..
Rauh that all men are born free and equal,
hut "eterual vigilance il The price ul lib
rrty." With the lesson of lS6l-5 fresh ON
cur minds, let us cndeavor to keep the old
Ship OF Stale clear of such rocks IN the
future. This State cannot afford TO hire
more than one hundred thonstnd Chinese
To do the labor that should be done by her
own citizens.
For my Perrysburg friends benefit !
will stale that Mrs. Chapman presented me
with annther girl the 23l OF last mouth.
Three girls and nary 4 hov vet Please
pray for me. S. E. CHAPMAN.
