Thurmansuch men voted here on a direct vote to abrogate the very treaty which we hear so much talk about now by the distinguished Committee on Foreign Relations as to not keeping faith and all thatkind ofasit seems to menonsense at this late day. Why. I should suppose if there was any one thing settled better than another. it is that the people of this country. irrespective of party. had come to the conclusion that Chinese immigration to this country was a great evil which ought to be put an end to. We either believed that or we have been demagoging in our primaries. in our political conventions in States. in our Legislatures. and in our national conventions. and I take it for granted that no party would do that. and certainly the Republican party would not do it. as is suggested to me by my friend from Iowa .
