DAYTON.
The funeral Of G. /. Vallandigham was
being attended. The procession was over
two miles long. The principal leaders
Of the Democratic party were there
Thurman, McCook, Campbell, Waiter,
Foran, etc. That party seem to have
opened their eyes and adopted the
workingman's.p rinciples in all but the
money question, and their plank on that
is SO expressed as to be differently I'M
derstood By some It is believed they
honestly meant to accept the policy Of
the labor party. Others suppose their
platform was cunningly worded to
please brokers and bankers, by leaving
a chance to side with them. | have no
doubt some in the Democratic party are
sristocrats at heart.
When the party adopted the work
ingmen's theory and Pendleton was run
for Governor, the brokers and bankers
in that party deserted, voted with the
Republicans, and defeated Pendleton by
a small majority. The present canvas
will change the complexion of both
parties. Honest men, TO some extent,
will leave the Republican ranks and
vote the workingmen's principles, while
brokers and usurers will go to the par
~ who have lately controlled the tinan-
ces who make money and give it to
bankers without charge, enabling them
to tax the people high for its use-at
the same time paying the bankers in

should be paid off in currency, accord

We shall see what we shall see.
Our old friend, Louis Reibold, has
advanced from the Phillips to the new,
spacious, airy and commodious
BECKEL HOUSE,
where he can ACCOMMODATE four hun
dred guests. He has deservedly hosts .
of friends, and is well supplied with
Gust omers.
AT CINCINNATI
Called upon E. M Davis, tie Ohio
National political committee man. He
is sound, vigilant and active-witldS a
good influence. Some expect him IN
organize Unions. He does not 50 un-
derstand il. He thinks his duties are
confined to the political organization.
Members Of a political Union may or
may not belong to Trade Union. Hav-
ing some objects and aims identical,
yet the Trades Unions have peculiar
objects and duties. They DO not con
tiict. There is no ground for jealousy
United they will succeed.
may be mistaken, but il is nv opin-
ion that the National Umon should
announce only few important primer
pies; those of general interest to the
whole country and leave all minor qups
tons to be managed by tile particular
society more Immediately interested.
Mr.. Flanagan was appointed Exec
utive for Ohio. We cannot learn that
be formed any Unions outside of Gin
cinnati. He now resides in Indiana.
The great want Of the Labor party il a
NEWSPAPER.
Every political press now in Ohio, 50
far as | know, is committed 10 one Of
the old parties. They ignore, as far AZ
they can, the labor questions Many
pervert and oppose their
doctrines. If there were an organ to

there would be an abundant harvest.
Truth is mighty and will prevail but

We looked in at
THE WALNUT STREET HOUSE,
which entertained delegates to the last
Labor Congress so satisfactorily. This
mas the name Of being the best house in /
Cincinnati. We can hardly wish {
better. Certain it is, Mrs. Davis is a
model landlady. The house, with its {
multitude of guests and boarders, is as
quiet, neat and fresh as a private resi- I
lence in the country.
THE WHEAT HARVEST

produce will be cheap, and farming, :
