Mr. E. NJ. Davis, Of this city, having
beer appointed by President TreveIlick

Those acquainted with the Labor

in the nominees, some Of the most

at work, aud although we do not ex-

defeat, under the circumstances will be
the cause of great victory. 1t will
show to the world that we are in
earnest, it will cause men to think of
our object, who heretofore never gave
us a thought. 1t will give confidence
to the weak-kneed, and it will give us
the neuclls Of an organization, which
is so essential to the carrying out Of
our principles. We have been sneered
and scoffed at by the papers of both
prominent parties, who endeavour to
convince the public that our whole
movement is huge joke, but under it
all, there occasionally creeps out an
evidence ofthe fear they entertain that
we will have stamina enough to live
down their SCOTS aud sneers, and force
them to fight US on living issues. The

tive Of the labor movement which had
no connexion whatever with political
partisanship, no more than with the
gentleman's religious creed, but which
embraced with cordiaitY the fellow
ship of every citizen in the cause OF
labor reform, no more fitting nor
earnest man could be selected than
ErastuS Wells.
No further nomination being made,
that of Mr.. Wells was put TO the meet
ing and carried with great unanimity.
Pending the question Of the nomina-
+ion of candidates, a resolution was
offered to the chair, which on the ques-
ton Of order being raised by gentle
man, was declared by the chair not to
be in order.
After the r niuation Of Mr.. Wells,
the mover of the resolution insisted on
his resolution being read, which was
accordingly done, and the resolution
was again ruled out of order, as being
in contradiction TO the action of the
meeting which had lust made uomina-
ton.
Mr.. Kreps arose and delivered 2
powerful address lie declared him
self a working man, mechanic, and
stated that tho present organization
and movement met his cordial support.
The Hon. NJ. w. Hogan being loudly
called upon, delivered a mastery
speech in which he endorsed cordially
the nomination Of Mr.. Wells. His re-
marks were made at length and were
received with great applause.
On motion OF Mr.. Young, the char
appointed the following gentlemen tC
announce to Mr. Wells his nomination
as the candidate for Congress Of the

souri,, Of the National Labor party o

the members of the trade than that ex-

One thought that occurred to me on
meeting them was, why do not such
men as this fill our offices of public
trust, men who know their rights. and
with so much Orl"r and m-pnood
maintain them? Why do they not give

HoasHATloa sY THE LABOR REFORM
PARTY.

The following from tho st. Louis
Republican Of the goth inst shows that
our frienls III ST. Louis intend To do
their duty:
Pursuant tO call made i'll the city
papers, mass meeting ofthe members
of the National Labor Reform Party Of
the First Congressional district Of Mis-
souri,, and ofcitizeus in sympathy there
with, assembled at Schuler's Hall,
Broadway and Biddlc Streets, in the
city Of st. Louis, Oh Saturday evening,
24th September, 1870, for the purpose
Of nominating a candidate for Congress
il said district, To represent them in the
Forty-second Congress in the United
States. Hon. John Magwire, member
for the state Of Missouri Of the national
executive committee, in the chair.
The chairman opened the proceed
ings by making a brief recapitulation
of the origin, and progress of TIE party
in the session of the Labor Reform
Congress held in Cincinnati in August,
1870. The organization was for the
first time made a political party, in
order to attain the control Of Congress
and thereby establish its principles.
These were comprised in the resolu-
lions or platform adopted at Cincinnati,
which were the basis of the present
proceedings.
On motion, Geo w. Hall, repre-
sentative from Missouri, and one of the
secretaries Of the National Labor Con
gress at Cincinnati, was elected Secre-
tary Of the meeting.
BY order ofthe Chair, the platform
Of the National Labor Reform congress.
at Cincinnati, was read by the secretary
The following resolution was then
offered and then unanimously adopted !:
REsoLvxD,-That we hereby endorse the
principles indicated by the platform Of the
National LAT Dor Congress held in Cincinnati, in
August last and we pledge our earnest endea
vors to support the same until they shall be
recognized the legislation Of the country.
Carried.
The chairman then announced that
nominations for a candidate TO repre-
sent the N. i. r. party, in the Forty
second Congress, were III order.
Mr.. Sam. Young nominated the Hon.
Erastus Wells, ana commented elo-
quently on the qualifications of the
gentleman. lie was workingman
himself and the friend Of the working
men. He had raised himself by hard
work from the humblcst position and
was the true type ana representative Of
the numerous class that have to rely
upon their own evertions.
Mr.. Thomas s. Nelson seconded the
nomination, and furnished instances
wherein Dir. Wells proved himself the
friend Of the cause, where he had no
prospect or view whatever of obtaining
a nomination from them. When the
Chairman and other members Of the
party i'll the early part Of 1870 sought
to obtain the use of the hall Of the house |
of representatives in Washington City,
to announce therefrom he principles
and doctrines Of the great party, Mr.. !
Wells was earnest and active to that
end and assisted by his advice nd /
to procure it for the purpose. 4
This was the first opportunity furnished
The cause for a hearing before the
and Mr.. Wells was active in
Is suppost. Go every occasion where
lid and aI were needed he was
prompt anl bfhl. As representa-
