got something to hold onto. That State is
California. There they have fastened
themselves to the pigtail Of the Chinaman,
which they expect will carry them into
power. The Democrats, curious to say,
are always in somebody's wool. They had
their hands in the kinky curls Of the poor
negro for a quarter of a century, until
they were compelled to let go. They will
fare no better with the Chinaman. The
modern Democracy is unhappy unless it is
on the back Of q supposed inferior race,
which in the end always contrives to get
on top.
The Tribune says editorially: The Dem
ocrats Of California, in convention assem-
bled, have emitted a platform which we
use. 1t reads as if it had been written by
Denis kearney. The larger part of it is de-
voted to the Chinese, and upon that once
promising issue the utterances are stirring
enough to make even the widest Chinese
hater in the country dance for joy. The
architects OF the platform were evidently
Southerners. California WAS the refuge
which many southerners sought at the
close OF the war, where they all joined the
Democratic party and were at once given
high places in its counsels. They betray
their antecedents in this platform by de-
%nouncing men who, under a humanitarian
cloak, are e~ndeavoring to thwart the efforts
in behalf of the white men in California.
This is the first intimstion that we have
had that Cinnamon were en%dangering the
divine rights of the white man to rule this
country. Starting on this ancient Demo-
cratic principle, the platform warns at
once to its work. 1t denounces the Chi
nese now in California as an unmitigated
curse !; appeals to the Democracy of the
country for deliverance, and demands that
the next National Democratic Convention
shall declare for self-preservation, and
shall pledge the party, in case it obtains
power, to remove every Monaghan from
the country. We trust that the word re-
move is not used in the Guiteau sense, yet
we are not sure about it. The convention
which adopted the declaration was in a
red not condition. The national Democ-
racy will probably adopt the suggestion
and put an determination plank into its
platform. 1t would fit in admirably with
the present collection Of principles which
stand for stuffed ballot, boxes, polygamy,
free rum, free trade, abolition Of the ma
tional banks and Chinese determination.
That is rounded and homogeneous.
Iowa Again Afflicted.
