the League.

 On motion, C. N. Thomas was ap- pointed President, the band playing Yankee Doodle, n his honor.
 Mir. Thomas, in acknowledging the honor, said he was with the League. heart and hand, and advised them to take giant strides.
 On motion of Mir, Mellgren, seconded by Col Deane, w. B. Coleman was nom- mated for treasurer, the band playing "Hail, Columbia"
 s. C. Bagg reported the work of the executive committee. He said the prin. cipal of the schools had told him that the attendance had increased among the poorer class, from which he argued that the boycott was already doing some good.
 The secretary reported that eight Chr namen hsd lief, town during the week and one was around begging for food, an an- nouncement which was received with great applause.
 Judge Robinson then mounted the platform, in reply to an invitation from the secretary, and announced himself as the land grabbers' terror. He referred to Judge Sawyer's decision, which he said referred to case of torcible expul- sion of Chinamen. Such boycotting was altogether different from that advocated by the leagues of Sacramento, Tomb stone and Wilcox. The grand man" then launched out into tirade of abuse, against the EPITAPh. He cared noth- ing for the islanders of newspapers. They would find him made of stubborn mate rial. They had tried to get an answer from him, on almost every question. No such contemptible arrangement could get an answer from him. He left his repu- tation in the hands of the people, against any blackmailing sheet on Gods earth. He intended to follow Savage and land grabber Berry through Cochise county and place them beneath his feet, and in- vited his audience to accompany him on the stump, to hear him put on the lash and see the victims squirm. He felt proud, when he walked the streets of Tombstone, because he was engaged in a noble cause The idea of an Irish American abusing him because he was anti Chinese! He had stood the thing patiently. The tocsn was now sounded. On with the war! He asked his hearers to hurl the EPlTAPH from Tombstone. Damn it into the earth! He was able to fight all three of the EPITApH men. Was not afraid of all of them. War goes! He was in for war, if it took all summer. Would meet them anywhere in the coun. ty. He would do his talking, let them do their printing There was no longer any room for compromise. Why dent the Chinese lovers get Sup Chinese league? They are ashamed to do 1t! Here the anti. Chinese Demosthenes brought the well.known windmill action of the arm into play and raised his voice to shriek. He paid his bills and could get all the labor he wanted. He preferred to give more for white labor, Those men are fighting for the existence of the Chinese. We are fighting for the land of the free and the home of the brave. With this grand peroration the "grand man" re- tired, amidst tumultuous applause.
 Calls of "Reilly" were answered by the appearance on the stage of that gentle man, who announced himself as the EpITAPH's "poor old Reilly" Had be- come poor by fighting land grabbers. He admitted that it was good thing for Irishmen to keep in the background, in this fight, but he wanted to be in the fight, anyhow. Didn't object to this be- ing called the Nash league. Thought the Nashes better qualified for office than half the men who opposed them.
 The speaker then drew contrast be- tween the EPITAPH and the Tombstone, which was, of course, not very compli. mentary to the former. The EPITAPH people were afraid the Nashes might get something and then they couldn't gobble all the pie. Under its present manage ment, the EPITAPH was of no conse. quence, whatever. In other words, the monkey behind the curtain moved the monkey before the curtain. Referring to
 Clum's statement that boycotting was
 "clearly criminal" the speaker read the
 law on the subject, which he said hac
 been misqueted. After some remarks
 on capital and labor, he took up a recen
 lecture by a local minister, who, h,
