C.C. Williams' Workingmen's Party of California and U.S. census materials

Manuscripts

Five documents and letters relating to C.C. Williams' activities with the Workingmen's Party of California, The Peoples Advocate, and the United States Census in San Francisco and Stockton, California. The collection includes a history of the Workingmen's Party of California (WPC), probably written by Williams, which references the Party's political activities, the "Chinese question," and the election of Dennis Kearney as Party president. It also includes a summary of charges from the WPC against Williams and W.E. Peyton accusing them of violating their pledge to the WPC and committing "acts unbecoming a member" by publishing the "Daily Three o'Clock" newspaper, which was "in the interests of the New Constitution Party" and against the WPC. Also included are a letter from Eliot Lord of the Department of the Interior, Census Office, authorizing C.C. Williams as an agent of the Tenth Census (1880), a sheet of Chinese characters used by Williams when he served as deputy assessor of San Francisco, and a memorandum of agreement for the establishment of "The Peoples Advocate" newspaper (1879).
