In the course of the able address delivered by him at Williamsburg. one of the most historic spots in all America. Mr. Multer further said: While millions of immigrants came to our shores. the great majority came to enjoy the blessings found under our form of government and became imbued with the spirit of our free institutions. It is true we closed the gates. when later on there began an influx of those whose ideas and customs and hereditary instincts were inimical to our way of life. and we intend to keep the gates closed. I hope that we can keep them closed now. so far as the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Acts is concerned. Let me say something further about the Chinese. I know of no better people.
