The Daily Tombstone., 1886-03-01

pALrullZe IuOSe WIlO uO SlhpIOy IHelh and we will soon solve the Chinese question as far as Tombstone is con cerned.
 J. NJ. Nash was then introduced, and stated that he was surprised to note the absence from meeting of this kind Of so many of our pComi- nent men. They were holding back, said the speaker indignantly, to see whether the movement was going to 1 be popular He regretted to say that white men were assisting the | Chinese to boycott saloon-keeper of this town, who had discharged his Chinese help. The persons at the head of this movement did not intend to crowd any one. They proposed to allow the time necessary for obtaining white help. .e
 In response to calls. Judge Riley ascended the platform. He informed his hearers that he had never made a speech in his life longer than twenty minutes in length; had been born and raised in Ireland, but never in- dulged in "blarney." He thought white people were much to blame in this Chinese trouble. The Chinese had become almost q necessity. We must first reform ourselves. Upstarts, who had suddenly grown rich, wanted funkeys to wait on them. White labor was too independent for then. Then, again, if they were ignorant, as was often the case, they feared their white servants might despise them. The shoddy aristocracy of this coun- try were much to blame for the growth of this Chinese evil. On the other hand, it was fact that many white employees paid to little attention to their em ployers' interests. They were too fond of showing their inde- pendence. The speaker had been here for six years, and always tried to avoid getting his clothes washed by Chinamen. He didn't approve of the steam-laundry scheme at all. One or two men would soon control the busi- ness and make the public pay three or four times as much as the work was worth. Applause. It was best to leave this thing to independent actiun.. Find out what women will do washing and give them your work. If they charge q little more than Chi namen you can save the difference in whisky and cigars. Talk won't effect anything! You must work and per severe. It is $ poor country where women, willing to work, are driven to prostitution fer d living. The speaker, in conclusion, said that this was the longest speech he had ever made in his life. He was frequently ap- plauded.
 Col. Deane was next called upon
 by the chair to address the meeting.
 He urged his hearers to wear their
 shirts, if necessary, for two or three
 weeks, and, when they began to itch,
 stick the shirts in the water and wash
 them themselves. Great applause. ]
 Referring to the boycotting by Chi nese of Melgren's saloon, he said "Damn q Chinaman who made
 cocktails for white mar, and damn q white man who would take drink , in saloon where Chinamen were employ edw There were some Chi , nese lovers here. He supposed they loved the females as well as the males
 GA voice-a great deal more!'O Every
 one who had a Chinaman in his house
 should be boycotted. Applause. No one should take drin!- where ; Chinaman was employed. Only le us stay together and We can bounce 'em."
