President. that this Republican doctrine announced in the treaty of 1868 about the inherent and inalienable right of Chinese to come to this country for curiosity. for trade. and for permanent residence. was shared in by a large majority. as late as 1882. of the Republican members of this body. I will read some votes on certain propositions connected with that bill. The following sections were in the House bill when sent to a Republican Senate by a Democratic House of Representatives: SEC. 14. That hereafter no State court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship. and all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. Before that time there had been. as I learn. naturalization of certain Chinese somewhere in this country.
