! ocratic ticket at the last general cleo ton for Councilman--receiving only about four or five hundred votes rushed into print this morning in defense of the Chinamen, and with a tirade of abuse against the gentlemen who were elected as officers of the Anti-Chinese League, he asks:
 "Why is Nash working up the Chi nese question? Is it that he expects political preferment for himself or some member of his family, or be. cause he is a sand-lotter' ty instinct and communist on principle?"
 We can answer his question in a very few words by stating that we arc neither & "sand-lotter'' or communist; as we work For r'saFoliving! .~
 " Why isit,that the officers of the meeting on Tuesday night, are all candidates for office? Jones wants to be Sheriff, Nash aspires for the Coun- Gil, Immel wants the Recordership; Treasurer or anything he can get; Bradshaw wants to be Sheriff-who, by the way. yet .eml lpys Chinaman to clean up his salooon." ....-
 Politics has never entered into this Anti-Chinese discussion, and we know not whether MT. Jones desires to be Sheriff or not
 MT. Nash never has, nor does he now aspire to the Council.
 We have never heard MT. Immel state that he wished a political office, nor do we know of anybody who has heard him so state.
 Mr. Bradshaw has never been be fore the people of this city for any office, nor has he ever announced himself as candidate or authorized any one else to use his name as cain didate for any office. But We hon estly believe, that should he run for any office, be would receive more than 3G0 votes out of 2,600, as did the Fish Commissioner, when he wanted to be Councilman from Cochise county.
 "If the Chinese are driven flom Tombstone by Nash, Buncomb & Co.,, who will replace them?"
 We can answer this question by saying that deserving men and wo- men of our own race, who have fam flies to raise and educate, will fill their places.
 "N7ill the steam laundry on paper do the cooking aud homework in three quarters of the families i'll this town?'
 It is no: political bummers, and men of the character and disposition of this dude Tad" Chat vii erect steam laundry, if they were, it would be2l laundry on paper.
 T am not in favor of Chinese labor. I have been in position where I have employed both house servants and laborers all my life and have never hired Chinaman in other than laun- drying, but do not endorse a move ment. the object of which is to boom the aspirations of few chronic office seekers"
 Dick the Dude has been known in Nevada and Arizona for a number of years, and we have to find the first plrson that has ever seen him in position where he could employ house servants and laborers. In one sent ence he states that he has been in position where he "employed house servants and laborers, but never em- ployed Chinaman exception laun- drying" Assuming this to be the truth, cannot the three-fourths of the families get white house servants and laborcrs, as well as Dick the Dude?
 Is not this individual who lis op- posed to this anti-Chinese movement, the object of which is to boom the aspirations of few chronic office seekers" am aspirant for q federal po- sition under the Democratic admin istration?
 Does he not live off friend, and did not this friend go to G. S. Brad shaw, and ask him to appoint the dude a clerk of the school board, so that he could make few dollars, as he had to support him?
 Fellow citizens you all know this individual, who would oppose the em- ployment of white men and women, in order to allow the Mongolian to wax fat and wealthy, while white girls are driven into houses of prostitution, and white boys are made felons of, all because there is no employment for
