opinions Of our fellOw-citizens before
I finally accepted the responsible, but
not lucrative Office. I have, by mail
and personal ~intercOurSe, asceTtained
that not not only a majority, but our
WOTkingmen are nearly q unite on the
principles Of our labor platform. AL
ready q Labor League Of live men, all
earnest in the work, is organized un-
dera charter from the Executive Ofthe

to the manhood Of our class, for every
thinking wOrkingman feels q change
is necessary, and must be immediate.
