Another attack from the san Francisco
Vnlifer Against sacramentans
Nothing but the wild desperation of the
Democracy could cause even the Examiner
TO repeat its msliciously false statements
about the Hat Brigade "Resoluto4 Republi-
can Club OF this city, in which it seeks to
make Chinese campaign capital II was
conclusively shown by the REcoRD-UN1oN
yesterday, that the Republican Club
guarded to the utmost, in its contract.
against Chinese labor, and on the other
hand, that the same manufacturing firm
has not only made Democratic club uni
forms entirely with Chinese labor, but that
Il wds done Nth full knowledge, consent and
approval Of the Democratic Club which ordered
them.
In answer to the denials of the Demo-
Gratis OF this fact Mr. Elkus offered to sub
stantiate coEclusively, aud to put up $500
against every 500 that any and all Demo
Gratis wished to wager, that he could not do
so, and urgently invited the entire Democ-
racy, at wholesale or retail, to walk up and
make II interesting. No one of the Demo-
cratic patriots who are engaged in wagine
this disreputable class of campaign warfare
has thus far had honor enough 10 either
put up or shut up" as pointedly requested
by Mr. Elkus, in printed challenge, to do.
The only response that has thus far been
made to the challenge is continued
coWardly denials. Among these deny
ing patriots who, with the bonanza on
portunity of making $500 staring them in
the face by simply taking up Mr.. Elkus'
challenge, Is S. 2. Maslin, whom the En-
dmlneT quotes as not only asserting that the
statement about the Democratic club hav-
ing their uniforms made by Chinese. is
false, but that he has Mr.. Elkus' affidavit
to prove it is false. And now comes Mr..
Elkus again with a plethoric sack and
not only challenges Mr.. Maslin to produce
the affidavit he alleges is in his possession,
but offers Mr.. Maslin $500 if he will
do so. He also desires Mr.. Maslins at
tention called to the challenge published
IN the RECORD UNION yesterday morning,
and to sthe fact that he and other Demo-
Gratis can make themselves rich by making
wagers of 500 against each $500 which
Mr.. Elkus is ready to put up on the propo-
sltion that be can prove by his books and
employees that the Democratic Club uni
forms were made by Chinese labor, and
that the understanding and approval Of the
club was that they should be so made.
The Republicans of the city state that
the despicable Democratic tactics to fix
stigmas on the.Republican party by these
mahclously false statements, ought to be
met with the fact that many of the leading
Democratic candidates, officials and citi-
re IS OF Sacramento are EMPLOYERS of Chi
nese, and that among these is Charles A.
Jenkins, Democratic candidate for Pres-
dental Elector from California. Mr.. Jen-
kins resides IN this county, and they are
ready to prove he employs Chinese, not
nominally, but at wholesale, and SAYS he
would not have any other kind of help.
They offer to prove that he has had forty
or nifty Tor months past at work upon his
ranch on the Costumes, and that they were
even bossed by Chinaman.
If there is strength in this class of CAM
paign, let the stinkpots of the Examiner
aid the branch of our local Democracy
which thinks SO, turn to their own ranks
and pounce upon Jenkins. When they
have annihilated him, call around and they
will be furnished with other victims
for Democratic virtue. 1t is also ad-
yisable that they choose cleaner
timber to work up the Chinese racket upon
Republicans than ex-policeman J. NJ Sui
livan, who is one of the leading patriots in
the new crusade falsely trumped up against
the Resolute Club. Mr.. Sullivan, it viii
be remembered, only few weeks since
sought to take hand in the Republican
primary In this city, and in order to vote.
swore that he was a Republican and would
support the Republican ticket He l.
the same Sullivan that, while now trump
ing up this Chinese mud against Repub-
licans, rents houses to Chinese in China
town, at the corner of Fourth and | streets,
and receives his cash from them regularly
every month, and for his family
arrangements lives with Daisy Meeker,
whose identity is too public to
require mention. This is the class
of Democratic patriots that the En-
dDainer has employed in working up ito
present mud-throwing business in this city,
aud its Geographic correspondent, from
the viciousness of dispatches sent, seems to
be of very similar ilk
