DOWN WITH THE JEWS !--MEETING OF

JEWISH RACE--A. TERRIBLE PLOT
AGAINST THE CHOSEN PEOPLE
a meeting of the American Society
for the Suppression of the Jews was
held on Tuesday evening last, in the

lei at Saratoga. Mr.. Henry Hilton
presided, and Mr.. Austin Corbin
acted as Secretary. Max L. Ross
vally made few preliminary re-
marks, and argued that the best way
TO suppress the Jews was TO convert
them to Christianity, as he had been
converted while serving term in the
Albany Pcnitentiary. Mr.. Corbin
objected TO introducing any religious
clement in the discussion, claiming
that the Society opposed the Jews
only as nasty and vulgar race, and
not on account of their religion. He
thought, however, that the time had
come for nice and refined Christians

in American society. "ls this free

with the previous speaker. The Jews
in America were becoming like their

women 10 ridicule, by never missing
an opportunity to harass and pursue
them, he thought they might soon be
persuaded TO return 10 Jerusalem,
where. he said, they ought always TO
have remained.
After speeches to the same effect by
Mr.. D. G. Corbin, Counselor Chat
field, and others, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted;
Whereas. The rapid increase of
the Jewish population in The United
States, and especially in New York,
has become a constantly menacing
danger to the welfare of Christian
citizens;
Whereas. jewish competition,
backed by Jewish audacity, is rearing
its head in commercial, political, liter
ary, and professional lille; and
Whereas. We find our clubs and
hotels invaded by Jews, who also fill
our theaters, managed by Jewish
managers. who hire Jewish artists to
perform the works of Jewish AUTHORS
and
Whereas. We find political and
financial trusts confded to Jewish
hands, while Jews practice at the
Bar, sit on our Bench, edit our news
papers, and hourishing in whatever
walk of life they may select, vulgarly
flaunt their prosperity i'll our very
faces, adding the insult ofostentatious
display to the injury we sustain by
their successful competition; there
fore be it.
Resolved, that we deem it Of vital
importance to take immediate and
effective measures TO check the growth
OfJewish influence among US; and to
this end we do, one and all, solemnly
agree to bind ourselves by the declar-
alton of principles here laid down.
Resolved, that VIC deprecate the
election of Jews to Offices and, when
we see Jews like Disraeli at the head
Of the British Government; Jessel ON

Rothsrhild and Isaac in the British
Parliament; Gambetta, Crcmieux and
Simon in power in france; Lasker
leading the Liberal party in Germa-
ny; Artom in positions of Govern
ment trust in Italy, and the jew,

Office even in Russia, we feel the i'm

with energy and dispatch. We not
