OF Whlcn ne was member, and the meet
lngs OF which he so seldom favored with
his presence. He found some fault with
the committees report, and advocated more
energetic work. The motion should be
voted down. The anti Chinese movement
was small ball in the beginning; it is
rolling and growing, and soon will fall
upon the coolies like a mighty avalanche.
William Boyne was in favor of the mo-
ton. He said the people of the State.
owing to the way the boycott was adyo-
Gated, were opposed to it. This committee
could have carried out a successful boycott
IN this city If let alone. He predicted that
the Chinese would remain, and that wears
hence there would be war of races. when
the stars and stripes would be upon one
side and the banners of Asia upon the
other.
Grove L.. Johnson said he would vote
against the motion if it would be voted. This
was nothing more than foolish bows play
TO talk OF adjourning. The only trouble
seemed to be that the committee had done
too much. They had done more than all
the other anti-Chinese clubs in the State.
hence the fault finding and opposition. 1t
is the only anti-Chinese club in the State
that has done anything. He took the Sec
retary's report and read from it score of
things that had been accomplished, and
SAS"NN eA-oS II was l1t OllN clIlD IN The
State that was materially aiding the
State Executive Committee in their
work. He believed in getting rid of
the Chinese. The club believed in
the same thing, and had worked TO that
end. He tried to do his duty, and had
always plainly stated his position upon the
question. 1t was too radical for MANY. and
he had been censured and lost business for
expressing such strong views. They were
ms sentiments, honestly expressed. Hewas
OF the same opinion now. Had nothing to
take back, He was in favor of using
peaceaoie measures first. The time that
Sir. boyne speaks OF will come, if it ever
docs, after we are dead. and we will care
but little then who does the fighting. In
speaking OF the spotter, he denounced him
as miserable, nasty, mean, low, contempt
able man, that ought to be kicked on
every occr ii. The Boycottcr abused men
and held them up to ridicule. the strings of
whose shoes no man who edits or is CON
nected with il Is fit TO unite. No one indi-
vldual has right to make threats. When
1t is unanimous voice of the people. then
1t assumes different aspect Their fool
ish, silly and simple efforts have made a
laughlng-stock of the people who are zeal
ously working IN the cause, and have
created sympathy for the Chinese. A man
women merits the contempt of all decent
people. If they came around his house
asking his wife where she had her linen
laundrled, he would break their heads and
II he could not do that he would feel justified
| III taking shot at them. The idea of a
mere handful of men organizing boycott
IN such manner is silly and absurd. He
said he was connected with Chinese
movement IN this city long before those
men came to this town; had given more
money 10 assist IN carrying it out than thew
had an together lie said that the bovcot-
ter element, sociaistic in tendency. did not
have 200 followers in the CITY.
Mr.. Jost-Was it not Endorsed at nub-
lie meeting by over 700 men?
Mr.. Johnson-No, sir: not over forty
voted aye.
Mr.. Jost-Then the rest were towards
for they did not vote no.
Mr.. Johnson-I was no coward: I got
upon your platform and denounced II then
ana there, as do now, and as did the ma
lority OF this people. think mustEoe right
upon this question, because | am abused
upon both sides. Those spoilers are ugly
warts upon The body polite that should
oe removed with carbolic acid. Mr.. Routier
says he can pick his fruit with white helm
others say they cannot obtain it. The same
thlng IS said about hops; some that they
can-others that they cannot. lie knew
that hops were raised and gathered in the
Fast without Chinese, and thought thew
could be here. He believed in the committee
going on with their good work; let others
ma fault and growl as much as they
please, but let the committee
keep the Chinese moving until they get rid
OF them. lie said he was very much sur
prised to hear Senator Reuter- speak so

business can be easily conducted without the
