DAILY TOMBSTONE EPITAPH
 AND CocHIsE COUNTY RECoFp.
J. DUNBAR. EhitOr X Prop.

In the midst of this heated agitation of the Chinese question in Tombstone, il will be we'll for our citizens to remember the facts in relation to the movement When the project was first ventilated 10 replace, in peaceable manner, the Chiz, ncse now employed in Tombstone, by white men and women, the EPTAPH was in full sympathy with the idea. Although convinced, in sur own mind, that it was political movement to fur ther the ambitious aims of certain seek CTS after office, we were willing to waive that, in.view of the good thax might be accomplished, by rightly directed movement of this nature. We, therefore, gave the movement our hearty support, both privately and in the columns of the EPITAPH, reporting fully and fairly the weekly meetings of the league, and giv- ing much prominence to everything con. nected with it. This, however, did ne- quite suit the hot headed demagogues iiI the league. They wanted the glory a to themselves. They wanted no belp saving the country Throwing overboa all sense, fairness and decency, th declared boycott and publicly posted dozen, out of the hundreds in Tombstol who patronized the Chinese, for the si pie reason that they have not yet bS ableto replace them by other satlsfict and reliable help. The president treasurer of the league at once handed their resignations, in which they W followed by most of the respecta element in that body. The EPITA which represents the law-abiding paying element of this community, cq not, of course, approve of such actioI the part of the league and publicly
 so. This was just what the polit newspaper gang, who were now run the movement wanted. They tho they saw'a chance to boost their apo for journal, at the expense of the rAPH and the EPITAPH was prom
 boycotted; resulting, as in other sin cases, in an increase of our busiJ
 while the boycotters began to get ra
 more oftheir own medicine than ag with them. It will thus be seen that responsibility for the defeat of this md ment, in Tombstone, lies at the doc those self-willed, hungry politicians, have inaugurated a "rule or ruin" pol anything to give themselves 4 Int prominence and passing show of pop larity among the minimizing mass of ters. Workingmen of Tombston These creatures are not your friend Truly they care more for you than thd do for Chnaman, but why? Becaus you have vote Apart from this, the would never lift finger in your behalf& The very men they have placed on their blackmail list have, many of them, done more for the prosperity of Tombstond than these men will, collectively, do fol any place, if they live to be three sco, and ten. They are simply using you catspaws to pull their political chestn, out of the fire, They nave, by their reasoning and unreasonable cond, defeated the very purpose for which v organization was founded. They trying to SOW dssenson and strfe this community, by which they may X sibly gain, but you and your families
 have to bear the loss. When they sH of the "horny-handed sons of toil' are laughing in their sleeves at
 ready gulliblity. How long will you them lead you by the nose2
