GO AWAY,J JOHN!
A mother Meeting of the Anti>
 Chinese League.

 the anti-Chinese meeting, in Schief- elin hall, last night. A bonfire had been built, opposite the hall and bell was rung vigorously through the streets, to summon the audience.
 A. T. Jones and w. A. Nash occupied seats at the table, ,n the platform, in the respective capacities of chairman and secretary.
 w. A. Nash, for the executive com- mittee, reported that they had called on a few business men only, so far. Those called on had signed the pledge cheerfu'ly.
 The chairman invited speeches from anyone iii the audience, commencing his remarks by "Gentlemen and Ladies, which inversion of the usual order of things was perhaps excusable, in view of the very small number of ladies present. Colonel Deanc then delivered dis course, on the text. "The Chinese must go."
 The chairman again called for speakers, who seemed, however, rather backward in responding.
 Mir Mellgren, of the Executive com mlttee, reported that several merchants, whom the committee had called upon, had thought the time allowed by the pledge-thirty days--too short. The committee had taken upon themselves to promise to get the tune extended.
 Loud cries here arose for Mir. Burke, who ascended the platform amidst loud applause. Mir. Burke said that some people were trying to make out that these meetings were really being held for the purpose of booming the candi- dates for office. The speaker was included in this charge. He branded it as lie. He had been brought up to labor. Had been affiliated with labor Someone had asked why he took such stand against the Chinese, when he was a foreigner himself. It was true he had labored under the misfortune of be- ing born under the British yoke. But he had thrown it off. (appause.) He had become an American citizen and would die under that flag, (renewed applause The speaker then referred to those lukewarm citizens of Tombstone, who were waiting to see whether the present movement would be success, before they would come down off the fence. As regards washing, the speaker was willing to wear colored shirt. Men earning only s day were, he said, forced to give up $2 a month of their hard earned money to Chinamen for washing The Chinese should be driven out--by peace able means, of course. If the Chinamen won't assimilate or affiliate with the white men, do away with them! A writer, in communication to the EPI- TAPH, had insinuated that Chinamen were better than white men. Perhaps they were better thar the white man who wrote that article, whoever he may be. The speaker concluded his eloquent dis course by remarking that he fully be- lieved that victory would crown their efforts with success.
 MT. Mellgren, of the executive com mittee here announced that Judge Robin son had offered to address the people if they would secure Schieffelin hall for Monday or some other evening next week.
 Mir. Monmonier next addressed the audience. He said he was member of the executive committee, and wish to add few details to the report of the com mittee that had been given this evening. They had called on about fifty merchants and others, of whom only two had re- fused to sign, (the secretary here called on the speaker to give the names.) Mir. Monmonier said he was reluctant to give the names, but if he must do so, they were Mr. Vickers and Harry Jenkins. The Chinamen, added the speaker, were able to learn anything in month, which would take a white man three or four months to learn.
 The chairman then told what the Chinamen do with the money which is sent from the United States. He sur prised his hearers by telling them that there were men in China who were worth from 400 to 500 millions of dollars. All the money that was sent to China was put in vaults by the government and never taken out again. It was sure death for the owner and his whole family if he should ever try to take his money out. The speaker agreed that thirty days was a rather short time to give people. Thought they might extend il 10 sixty days.
 Colonel Deane objected strongly tc ,L;. Jalo, Tha,, bo5 batta. o,. o, ;,,,
