 The committee of arrangements had secured the brass band of the Elite Theater, and before the meeting proceeded to serenade the different business men who had discharged their Chinese help; among whom were J. L. Mellgren, shaughnessy & Haffner, Chas. Mauk, Tom Jones, Capt. Rafferty and c. s. Bradshaw.
 After sereAading MT. Bradshaw, the band marched down Fourth street to the hall, playing martini airs, arriving at Schieffelin Hall which was crowded by this time, they played two or three more tunes, after which Chairman A. T. Jones, introduced Judge Robinson to the audience.
 Judge Robinson stepped upon the stage amidst applause and cheers, and although suffering from q very severe cold spoke as follows:
 Gentlemen, and fellow citizens, MT. Chairman II have but recently re- covered from six weeks spell of sickness, and am not at all well this evening, and as you can see, am very hoarse. 1 had written a note to your committee on invitation. stating that was to unwell to be present, but as I always like to take either one side of a question which is agitating the minds of my fellow citizens, thought that 1 would come to the meeting and let you all know that am an anti Chinese man, and am not ashamed of it.
