There has not been >ir4.c blow
struck against the Chinese for sixty
days, aud one locks In VAIN IN the
organ To see anything detrimental
TO the Ceolie slave now thriving IN
Carson City. The leaders OF the
fight promised their followers that
it would attack and rout the Mon
golau hordes. etc, but they have
led their misguided dupes w Ia the
breastworSs of the Republican
party with its splendid record aud
continued successes, and asks them
now tn attack the ramparts.
No wonder the rank AMI file re-
tire In disgust and curse the trt ach-
cry of its leaders. These men, un-
der the hypocrltical guise Of being
the friends of labor, the liftcrs-up
of the down-trodden and the sa,ya
ton Of the unemployed, have
sought to bundle up lot Of voters,
tag them aud conSign them, charges
prepaid, to the Democratic party of
this town,
What pitiabie exhibition Of bad
faith and ;reachery - the Meg
wumps trying 10 dupe the people,
and the Democrats in turn trying
10 dupe the MuIwumps. Fiattery
and a promise of power has been
the bait BIZ which TIE cunning
Democrats have ang!ed for and
caught the silly Mugwumps. Four
wears ago the Democrats played
the same game, and agreed to trade
the Democratic Legislature for the
Mugwump county ticket Both
tickets were beaten, because neither
crowd kept faith. The poor duped
Mugwumps vowed that they never
would be caught with chat again.
but the same chat that led them
over the hill to tie poor house is
leading them again.
Those who really felt a true
American interest IN seeing sue
cessful battle w1ced against the
Chinese now know exactly tn what
extent they have been betrayed by
the leaders, the men who make
long speeches and throw short bits
into the hat. Ii certain indlvid-
uals in the haat Of their political
greed. had not tried to crafty old
time spite and malice and hunger
for the spoils Of office, the anti
Chinese cause would still have
been a live issue, and those who
signed the pledge in good faith
would sill have been found bat
ting for the right. But the cracks
have dlsgusted the majority OF the
signers of the Covenant and undid
previous good work py trying to
play the denagogue.
Tonight there will be 4 meeting
of the so-called anti-Chinese
league, and a half dozen men
speaking from the platform, will, as
usual, mistake the cheers and
stamping Of a couple of dozen OF
their followers as an echo Of the
