Will my friend from Massachusetts deny that the people of his State. at the gubernatorial election of 1870. cast over 70.000 votes against Chinese insmigration. that issue having been presented in the party platform of that year? In other words. will he deity that every other voter iui Massachusetts. over eleven years ago. cast his ballot against Chinese imumigration? I have here before me Appletons Cyclopedia for 1870. which gives the result. Wendell Phillips. the candidate of the Labor Reform party. received 21.946 votes. Joh Quincy Adams received 49.536. both of whose platforms opposed Chinese immigration. being a total of 71.482. and William Claflin. Republican. whose platform ignored the question. received 79.549 votes. I ask again. wherein have I misstated or exaggerated any material facts?
