You cannot doubt as to what is their judgment on this question. Although souse few have tried to make themselves believe this opposition to the Chinese was the outgrowth of sandlotism and demagogism. yet for the sake of comninon intelligence I hope they are few. Such unanimity of opinion on any proposition such as exists among the people of the Pacific coast in regard to the evils growing out of Chinese immigration I undertake to say never existed in any coimunity of equal numbers in the history of the world. its parallel cannot be found. I will not recite the unanimity as expressed by the vote of California and of Nevada . that has been stated to you time and again. Out of 160.000 votes in California. only 883 expressed a willingness for that people to come to our shores.
