loving resolutions were passed:
Received, That We stigmatise the
Presidents veto Of the apti- Chinese
bjll ~ treason to civilized society, open
Ing the continent to IN avalanche OF
Monaghan barbarians, who would de-
Grade the standard Of life Of the whole
white race by practices and manners OF
living which cannot b tolerated among
civilized nations Of these enlightened
times.
Resolved, That We demand from Con-
gress the re-enactment Of the said anti
Chinese bill until It can be passed over
Hk ExcelDency's veto, and that We call
upon the people q the whole United
States to releg2te to private life oil OF
ice hols)ess and legislator who have
psoved themselves traitors 70 their race-
and country.
These resolutions are plain, direct and
to the point. They are the utterances
Of workingmen and viii receive the en-
dogsement Of working men everywhere.
They breathe the spirit Of free
men who scorn to bow the knee
to tho behests Of the Republican party
leaders and who refuse to yield their
places in the honored ranks Of free h.
borers to . horde Of Asiatic coolies.
These men are in earnest and mean
what they say. They propose to rele-
gate to private life all legislators "who
have proved Themselves traitors to their
race and couDtry" in opposing the anti
Chinese bill. The whole West shouts
''amen" in response to the determine
nation. Democrats do not stand alone
in this re.. sutton. Thousands of men
who have heretofore acted with the Re
publican party will cast aside their now
slight party attachments and obligation
and work with the Democracy in rescu-
ing labor from the thralldOm in which
the Chinese have lO, nd It. They are
beginning to learn who their true
friends are. They relied upon Repub'i.
can platforms and Republican promises
until they have learned the meaning.

of the other. They now turn to the
Democracy, the friend Of the tailoring
man, for relief, They will not plead in

party has made in Congress during tie

is not misplaced. They know that a
vote cast for Republican ticket Is a
vote cast in favor Of the policy ut that
party, and hence they propose to rele-
gate Republican officials and Republi-

farther West. The resolves Of the Chi.
cago Trades Assembly find an echo in
the hearts Of the lalorer in Butte aud
throughout the Territory. The reign Of
Repu blicanisn, on the Pacific slope Is
a;,Out to end.
The New York Chami,er Of Commerce
