No. 34. “The New Heathen Chinee.”
Reading edition
The analogy sought to be pointed out between the new Premier and Bret Harte’s famous “Ah Sin” was merely in the possession of a great advantage in the way of cards. Mr. Mackenzie went to the country with the “Pacific Scandal” for a text, and it proved as ruinous to the Conservative Party as Ah Sins “twenty-four packs” did to “Bill Nye” and his Pardner. This explanation is needed, as the cartoon was considered, by some who misunderstood it, to impugn the honesty of the gentleman represented.
