Maine Democracy and the Chinese Question in 1870
The Maine Democratic State Convention nominated Gen. Charles W. Roberts for Governor and pressed free trade while opposing Chinese labor, immigration, treaties, and citizenship. The piece criticizes Republican leaders as aligned with manufacturers, contrasts Democratic unity on the issue, and notes a broader anti Chinese sentiment across the East and West. It also cites a radical California Gazette critique of foreigners and reports rising Democratic confidence in the West and tariff backlash against Republicans.
