 The chairman, A. T. Jones, being UT
 avoidably absent, owing 10 the sad acc den, 10 his wife, Mir. Wicks occupied th chair.
 The burly form of Bill Nash vas in i, usual position at the table, with the usua hiatus between the bottom of his yes and 'he top of his pants. With hi sheepish, sleepy look, he eyed the wate pitcher from time to time, apparently re gretting that it contained nothing stronge than "eau de Huachuca."
 | Judge Robinson was the first speaker He stated tha, if the EPITApH objected to -Chinamen running for office the, would run all the same. He repeated that he wanted no office for himself anc then proceeded to enlarge on the Chinese evil and the Burlingame treaty, in hi, usual florid manner, accompanied by the regular pump.handle action of the arm
 When the gifted orator had descended to earth once more, Secretary Nash pro- posed vote of thanks, for his speech, which was carried. The Judge thanked the audience and told them that when ever they were hard up for speaker, they could call upon h,m. Mir. Gills then came forward and, in the most approved commencement exer- else fashion, acclaimed, at considerable length. He said the Chinese had no virtues. They had money enough to buy onr officials and would soon buy our sen ators. Referring to some remarks made by the EPITApH, to the effect tha, many of the leaders of the League had very little interest in the city, he made the re- markable assertion that this referred to him and then proceeded to argue on the theme, defying the EPITAPH to restrain his freedom and winding up by stating that he would support Christianity. At the close of his remarks, he waited some time for the applause, which, however, failed to be forthcoming. On the con. trary, several members of the audience went out, before the rambling speech was over.
 L. C. Bagg then read the report of the Executive Committee and expressed pleasure a, the support they had met with. The names of the fortunate indi- viduals on the black list were read out by the speaker in sonorous tone of voice. Mir. Bagg then proceeded to give the re. suit of interviews w,h prominent citi. zens.
 Judge Street had said that he employed . Chinese cook and had added that Irlshmen, niggers and Chinamen were a bad elemen. to have in the country, but we can't ge, along without them. [Great laughter
 Judge Peel was with the League.
 Judge Wallace had a Chinaman, to do his washing, but would discharge him, as soon as he could get white labor, to do the work as we'll.
 MT. Fickas employed no Cninamen, nor would he do so.
 Mir. Hart employed Chinaman, and would continue to do so, until he could get as good white help from the League, Judge Berry would have nothing to do with theiLeague. He had a Chinaman and would continue to employ him. He wanted his name at the head of the black list, just little above Mir. Blinn's Dr. Fetterman employed no Chinese, and signed the roll.
 Dr. Willis employed Chinaman as cook and another 10 do his washing. He wanted his name taken of the roll. Dr. Warnekros signed the roll, Dr. Dunn employed Chmaman 10 do his washing, but would not alter next Monday.
 All they could get out of Dr. Good, fellow was, that he proposed to do as he d-n please.
 Dr. Rider employed Chinese washer. man, but would not after next week. Mir. Gird had made bee line for the back yard, as soon as he saw them. All they could do was to ge, his name 8, the head of the black list..
 The next gentleman called on, said Mir. Bags, placing very strong em phasis on the word "gentleman"--wa: Mir. Savage. He sad he employed s Chinese washerman. It depended or circumstances, whether he would dis, charge him. II the anti. Chinese leasu, would get him anyone to do hi, washing as we'll, he would pay 5 per cent more He would not join the league, as lonp A it was run by politicians.
