 See here. Brother Stafford, of the SPHiNGDALE NEWS. you have not learn ed your lessons in Chinese properly, when you deny the statement made iii these columns, that the Republicans as well as the Democrats favor the ex- clusion of the Chinese from this coun- try. Come up and toe the crack for instruction, instead of examination. Now listen.
 In 1861. 1867. 1870. 1871, bills were in- troduced tito Congress by Elliott, sar- gent, Sumner, Wilson, Stewart and Cog Ian, all looking to the exclusion of Chi nese labor, and that by Cplgan was de- feated by Mir. Beck, a Democrat from Keatuckey. Are you getting tired. John? Hold on little longer. In December. le73, Mir Page Republican, from California, introduced bill to prohibit the importation of Chinese "cooliesa and it passed Republican UousS and Senate, and became a law in March. 1875.
 General Grant. i1 his message, De cember, 1871, urged the passage by Congress or laws to slpprt ss the i'm portation of coolies.n In 1871. 1876, lo7a bIlls were introduced by RepubIi- cans i'll Congress against Chinese i'm migration, but in 1899, when Congress was strongly Democratic, and could pass any measure It leased, the Cali f0rnia legislature sent memorial to Congress, asking for the privilege of taxing Chinese immigrants 80 as to keep them out; Gut q Democratic Con gresS paid uo attention to 1t whatever. Tn June, lS.G the Republican conver tion at Cincinnati. 1. Ohio, adopted l. f,ksF F..,-H |. Chinese, SD that from lS5Edown to 1876 thirty five years the Republican par iy had done all that had been done to Rl,atr the Chinese evil. In lsS0, the Republican platform advocated the restriction Of Chinese in migration. That WAS more than nine years ago. John; and perhaps you don remem- Der it. but you ought U remember. that since that time. the Republicans in Congress Lave done nearly all that has been done ill the matter.
 Hold on John. | ou say that President Harrison. when IL. Senator, ''yot- ed II times to admit Chinese into this country without let or hundranoe.' Some ignorant person told you that, r else you copied 1t withou know inx whether 1t was true or false. No sir, he did not do it. You have been reading or quotin from an old speech of Senator Vest, but lt you will take the trouble 10 reaa from the Congress siohai Record, Vol. l3. Part 4, rage 1851 to l360, you will find that General Harrison die not oppose the restriction of Chinese immigration, and that he WAS a member of the Senate Commit tee on Foreign Relations in 1856, and that his committee reported unani- Inously, five Republicans and tour Democrats Ill favor of Chinese restric tion.
 There are so many mistakes and CT roneous quotations in the article of the SPRIN0DALE NEWS of last week. which we have been dissecting, that we have no space i'll this issue to show them all up. But We have q bushel of facts treasured up rom away back before the SPRINGDALE NEWS and Fayetteville Democrat were born, oI evolved from their ancestry of rags and lamphlack, and as occasion may require we will use them to correct erroneous Democratic instructionS.-Dr. J. F. Simonds ill the Fa, etteville Re publican.
 Several weeks ago pr. Simonds. who poses as tue tariff editor of the Fayetteville Republican. made a statement in that paper to tho eff feet that both the Democratic and Republican party favored the OK ciuslon ot the Chinese from this country. THE NEWS took ex. ception to the article and mildly at tempted to show the distinguished gentleman who wiltes NJ. D. after his name that he was mistake on. Tho Doctor l'.es to have things hIs o~a way-to use familiar but not very elegant expression, he dossnot like tG be "monkeyed" with and our item raised his ire, and he caused to be inserted in the Re- publican little notice that he was commins for Us rough sh0d pret ty soon. Well. wo are no, very timid and lost no sleep over the matter, but like the light hearted Micawber upon whom the heavis. cares did not weigL, we waited. Two weeks back was set apart as the time for tho execution-the Doctor was gong to eat us blood raw with ont salt-and he comes at us as above. The part omitted refers to the do. ings of the California Legislature way. back in 1852. It has several "I bceteves' in itand the idea is fore eu upon Us thai the Doctor dnesn | :.
