The Independent Republican fell way

The straight Greenbaok votes were
significant and will be considered SIM

Indications point to a Republican gain

about an average vote will be cast, with
very little gain by either party.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 1.-THE Republicans
here are swelling every ward at the rate
of two to one; larger than the increasing

very animated here, and larger vote
than ever before will be cast. The Re-
publicans are gaining largely.

Chlnese vs.. Negro Labor.
CHIcAeo, Sept. ia copy of the

Dor is the chief desideratum, and cheap
labor. The Chinaman, if introduced
here, will hire out hia labor, and hire it
cheap. If he doesn't work az fast as
the negro, he works with more persis-
tency, and loses less time on his Joss
house than the negro on the meeting
house, in holiday excursions and frOlics.
So in the end he will accomplish as
much in the cultivation of cur cotton
crops. What has raised such hula
baloo against the Chinese ON the Pacific
Coast will be his recommendation here.
Certainly he can be brought to work
continuously and cheaply. It is an es-
tabljshod fact that he never participates
in public or political affairs, and will
never be clamorous for the ballot, and
never be making disturbance because
there was not full vote, a free ballot
and a fair count. Your European is
certain to wish to begin at once to enjoy
the free privileges, which will be one of
the strong inducements for his immiQra-
ton, and will be very apt to be in some
b0dy's way at the elections in the South,
as he is now in the North. The foreign
element now has much consideration in
party politics and patty platforms, and
gives concern and trouble to the native
element in elections. We only speak
as a fact without saying whether Euro
pean influence is good or evil. 1t is
said it now endangers the hold of the
party ON its long lease of
power, and we vote that good to its
credit. On tho contrary the Chinese
will be no political factor at all, and
give nobody any concern on account OF
political parties and the outcome Of

and whetstones. but he will work cheap.
Chinese labor will have good influence
upon negro laborers, and make them
more constant as lab0rers. The China
man makes his contract to labor for
y0u, and is said to be ever satisfied If
you comply with your contract and pay
him in accordance with the stipulation.
Il is a well known fact that the negro is
bound to be dissatisfied in every and
any event. Now we assume and believe
truthfully that the great majority OF
Mississippians who believe In the legis-
lative plan for securing immigration
are actuated BY the thought and Wish
for moro, better and cheaper labor.

in Hubbell's place for the upper Michi-

there was no chance for him. His man.
