They raised the alarm. They have gone further. day and night. in season and out of season. from the very first. to prevent the coming of Chinese. They commenced. before any Democrat thought of it. to amend the treaty to prevent naturalization. When the proposition to naturalize Chinese was before the Senate the Republicans alone made a showing against it. and it was defeated by Republican votes. When Chinese immigration became oppressive it was the Republican party that moved in the matter. I admit that the Democratic party in pursuance of its traditions has voted against the Chinese. They did so for political purposes.
