than was when l heard that Mayor Bart
lett was the landlord of Chinese tenants.
Why, it took my breath away" said C. F.
President of the Anti Chinese
Non-Partisan Association. my surprise
would not have been so great had it not
been well-known fact that the Mayor has
been just about as outspoken in his con-
domination of the Chinese as l have and
can't understand how he could occupy
these two positions. You know that our
association is particularly in sympathy with
the white washerwomen and the laundry
men, because they are the people who are
most affected by the Chinese competition.
1t would be interesting, in connection with
this matter, to know how many washer.
women have been deprived of the means
of earning a livelihood by these Chinese
of Mayor Bartlett. l consider this exposure
the worst thing that could be sprung against
the Mayor in his campaign for there is not
an honest voter in the city, member of
an anti-Chinese club, or any one who has
helped TO promote the anti Chinese move
ment, that can or will vote for him. Twill
be - if l will vote for man who har-
bors and deals with Chinese, and know
there are thousands of others in the State
who are in the same position. This is a
kind of an explanation from Mayor Bart
lett. am very anxious to know what his
reply will be-"
FRANK RoNEY's REMARKS.
:" have known that the Mayor was rent
ing his property to Chinese for some time,
and have shown that it would be ex-
ploded on him sooner or later" said Frank
Roney, President of the Federated Trades
"Of course the general public has been
ignorant of the fact. They have supposed
that the Mayor was honest and sincere in
his declared position against the Chinese,
but this shows that be was not. 1t is some
thing that will strike the laboring man
very forcibly, and | don't think there is
one of them that can support him after
knowing the true situation. 1t would be
the proper thing for every anti Chinese
club in the city and State to pass resolu-
lions of condemnation of Mayor Bartlett s
course"
MASTER WORKMAN KINNEY.
H.C. Kinney, Master Workman of the
Knights of Labor of this district, stanch
as the representative of the Knights of
Labor, how the members of the organiza-
ton would act regarding Mayor Bartlett's
pro- Chinese course.
If it is true, as published in the Post,
that Mayor Bartlett is harboring and deal
ing with Chinese" said he, land have no
reason to doubt it, the Knights of Labor
will have no other course but 10 repudiate
him. They cannot support man who
stands in that position"
THE WHITE COOKS AND WALTERS.
There is no politics in our Associa-
tion," said President Shepherd, of the
White Cooks and Walters Union e" but
if Mayor Bartlett does not disprove the
allegations made against him by the Post,
the Democratic white cooks and walters
will sour on him at once. They won't stand
a candidate who makes his money off OF
Chinese labor, and if he fails to clear him.
self they will vote to man for Swift. We
will watch with interest Mayor Bartlett's
course in this matter
WHAT CONSUL BEE THINKS.
why attack man for doing an act oil
kindness to peaceable people, here under
the protection of a solemn treaty." said
Consul Bee. !" If there was no demand for
washing by Chinese there would be no Chi
nese laundries, and Mayor Bartlett would
have to send his laundry to some one else.
/ suppose the people on Greenwich street
want washing done, and prefer the Chinese
because they do it better and cheaper than
others. 1t would be more sensible for these
men who howl against the Chinese to go to
work and compete with them, instead of
talking. l think this matter will do Mayor
Bartlett more good than harm. 1t will get
him votes from conservative people"
