to c7rry out the recommendation OF Mr.. Cleve-
land TO land the Cinnamon that Judge Sawyers
decision sent back The Democratic party of
the State of California fired off one huG6red
guns, am tod in celebration of the return of
those Chinsmen. They surely had not read Mr.
Cieyeland's recommendation that some resolu-
ton be passed srspendlng the law to enable
these Cinnamon to land, ana all who had en-
barked before the passage of the bill. l stayed
there to prevent that being done, after consul
tation with Mr. Morrow, not a Democrat, but a
not stay as well as could thanks to your kind
ness gentlemen of this district, it being abso-
lutely sure for the Republican nominee. lap
plause. Mr. Morrow being in Il displtabie
district, concluded that he would come and
should stay, and so l stayed until there was no
possibility OF that recommendation being ex-
ecuted.
Now let me tell you another thing and CON-
mend it to your consideration, be you Republi-
can or Democrat Could not we Republicans, il
we had consulted mean selfish political consid-
erations, allowed MI; Georges objection to that
bill to prevail and allowed it to go into commit
tee and stay there? But, my fellow-citizens we
trusted that the people of the State OF Califor-
MIA, having more interest in that bill and oppo-
Sltlon to Chinese immigration than they had in
party, would recognize that it was our duty to
do 1t, and would at least be grateful for the ex-
ecution of that duty, and not refer il to the
Democratic party or any individual Democrat
that did not have anything to do with it. Now
say to you, my tellow-citizens-and speak to
Democrats as well as Republicans-don't you
make this Chinese matter political don't you
toss it into politics, to be made shuttle cock
for ward politicians or the ladder upon which
some ambitious place-hunter can climb into
office. Do not make it Democratic do not make
it Republican. but keep it as it ought to be
kept-American. Applause Then my fell
low citizens, the point TO which it has reached
it never will recede FROM and il it does not re-
cede from that you can taae my word for it the
difficulty III the whole matter is solved.
Now, gentlemen, that is the true story of the
Chinese matter and nobody can deny it. Every
word OF what have uttered came under my
personal observation, and is absolutely true in
letter and ia spirit. This is ali | want to say to
you 10 day. Other gentlemen will discuss the
great national issues before you. 1t is not neces
saly for me to do it, as the time of each speaker
must necessarily be limited. Thanking you for
the attention you have paid to this short ad-
dress, and thanking Sacramento for its great
kindness to me always, l viii bid you good-by''
for this occasion
The crowd gave three rousing cheers for
Mr. McKenna as he left the stand.
