Republican Enthusiasm.

Last night was the beginning of a new and important feature ID Pima county politics. Within the last two weeks s republican club of our Mexican brethren has been formed and their first meeting was called for last night at the repub- licsn headquarters. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity and tl. late corners extended from the door va, to the center of the street.
 The enthusiasm was unbOunded and the intelligence and interest manifest d surpassed all expectation. The ul5 eiiug vas ably addressed by Santigg0 Ans |, u. K.

Democrats and Chinese.

In the weekly Atlanta Constitution of September II, 1888, IS found the follow ing interesting item:
 Henry Sam, Wong Gen and "Joe'' Quin, three Chinese lsundrymen, receiv- ed naturalization papers in Ssvannsh Saturday and became citizens of the United States. Savannah has now four Chinese citizens-Chsrley Lee, Henry Sam, Wong Gen and Joe Quin. The last three are not Harrison men. as many people think. but they say they will vote for Cleveland.
 There Is DO need to vouch for the De- moorscy of the Atlanta Constitution, and what have the Administration organs of this city to ssy-those journals which have rung the changes on Chinese nR- turslizstion in Indiana in 1880! Who IS the friend of the Chinsmsn now? Who IS the candidate of the Chinese in America?

A Life on the Ocean Wave

Ocean travellers, ystchtmeD, ship surgeons, commerice' buyers sent abroad. voysgerf by steamboat, and all who are occasionally or frequently called upon to be where "billous are buffeied." should take along Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the finest known sntidote for ses sickness. malaria, billiousness, and dis orders of the stomach and bowels. Many travellers by railroad, with delicate stom- ach and nerves, likewise suffer en route. These will find the Bitters surely helpful and cansolstory, Travelling, even in swift, steady and commodious steam ships and sumptuous palace cars, IS not always a source of unmiIed joy and de- light, and the BItters does much to ooun- tsrset the discomforts attending it, az ravsted by delicate health. Rheumatism, brought on by damp weather, kidney troubles and debility, are sffectuslly re- lieved by the Bitters.

COPP's LAND REVIEW.

The Chinese and the Public Domain.
 The Chinese question Is just at present the all-Gbsorbing topic of public and pO- htcal discussion, and a bill prohibiting the immigration into this country of chinese persons has been passed by Congress, and is now before the Presi- dent, who will probably sign it now that official information of the rejection by the Chinese government of the treaty recently proposed. has been received.
 Quite stlutter of excitement was creat- ed few days ago by the announcement i- 'he public prints that Assistant Com missioner Anderson, of the General Land office, had rendered decision to the effect that Chinsmsn who in 1887 declared his intention Co become & cIti- zen of the United States could legally initiate a homestead entry.
 ltis quite certain, however. that what ever may have been the foundation upon which the rumor was based, and what ever may have been the opinion of the Assistant Commissioner upon the sub Iect at the time of the publication, no such decision was promulgated, and that officer IS now firmly of the opinion that unless a ChinsmAn can conclusiyely show that be had declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States prior to the amendment of the Naturali- zatIon Laws in 1875, he can never be- come qualified to make an entry of pub llc lands under any of the laws where citizenship is prerequisite.
 k. cers in one of the territorIes permitted three ChInameD, who had filed their de- clarsilon of citizenship in 1883, to make mineral land entry, and the case came before the Assistant Commissioners for consideration. His judgment was en- phsticslly recorded against the legaIIty of such an entry, and an order of csn- cellstion was made at once; no holding for cancellation with privslsge of appeal was made. but the entry was cancelled outright, without 6 word in ihe decision about the right of sppeal on the gronnd that only cItizsns of the United States, and those who had legally declared their | intentions to become sush, can make entry for mineral lands, and that ss the Revised Statutes as amended by the | act of 1875 excluded MongolIsns from the privilege of becoming citizens, the entry was illegal and utterly void.
 Very few Ohinsmen have ever become citizens of the United States.

The Democratic Convention.

When the CITIZEN went to press yester-
 day afternoon. the democrats in cOnven-
 ton had decided to pass the Council and
 were laboring with the Legislative ticket.
 There were SIX applicants for these
 positions of doubtful honor, and as five
 only could be elected it was on motion,
 decided to call tune on tbe five receiv- ing the largest number of votes. The candidates were M- G. Samaniego. Judge Anderson, R. N. Leatherwood. Sabino Otero, H. ID. Underwood and J. s. OBrien. NJ, G. Ssmanisgo came out at the little end of the horn. and the other five were declared the nominees of the Convention.
 Col. George J. Roskruge. late of the Queens Horse Marines, WAS upanI- mously declared the nominee of ths party. Calls were made on the Col. for sspeech, but he had slipped out through 6 crack in the door jam and was already in his office plating out the proposed tion then adjourned till evening.
 The evening session opened with half filled seats, It was decided to wait awhile for . larger gathering but as
 hey csne if go slowly t1e chairman finally concluded to begin. He rspped the empty seats to order and then called Hon. F. G. Hughes who happened to be standing near to the chair, while he de cended to the body of the hall and awaited hts nomination as supervisor; which was soon made by Mir. Winston. H. s. Sesrles put ID nom lnstion Mir. Melczer. Both are subse- quently elected by exclamation.
 F. c. Hughes was then elected chair man of the county central committee and Frank Hereford secretary.
 After considerable discussion it WAS resolved with s hslf dozen motions be lore the house, that the county central be composed of eight mem osrs from Tucson, two from Nogsles md one from each outlying precinct. The committee was invested with the power of filling vacancies in the county ileket, vacancies in it's own body, to elect delegates to the next territorial convention and to buscsr up some one willing 10 be slaughtered for the leQis- alive council.
 They then thanked their chairman and for holding them down iu sood shape. choking off the long w1nded md shutting both eyes when the con Tention adjourned for drinks.

 The Presidents message, which 60 com panies the approval of the bill
 states that the experiment. of blending

 the Chinese lsboring class with those oI
 the people of the United States, has
 been proved by sn experiment. ottwenty

 The President continues, that with the

 ment has grown in force until those hay
 ing In chargs the government of the
 respective counties have resolved to
 modify and suficlenily abrogate all
 those features of prior conventional ar engagements which permitted the ooming q of Chinese lsoorers to the U. 8. The President next reviewed all treaties and Legislation which has been adopted up- on the subject and declared that after the passage of the restriction sct it soon became evident that the intent of the law and treaty were being defeated by false pretense and perjury; and that the conrts in the Pacific states have been for some time most overwhelmed with the examination of Chinese cases. The President calls attention to the deep seated and irerecsing discoptest, ss- pecisi y among the people of the Pacific coast on account of the inefficient con- ditioD of law, and states this has caused him to omit uo effort to remedy the evils complained of and that he has been aided in this matter by diplomatic off cers of the Chinese government and by the U. 5. minister 10 China. He also mentioned the treaty which was recent ly formulated and signed by the pleni- of the U. $. and China and confirmed by the senate with two amendments which were approved by Ire Chinese minister at Washington. These amendments were at once tele- grsphed to China whither the original treaty had previously been sent.
