ELECTION OF Moses W. FIELDS. We
are pleased to announce that the ADvo-
Gates candidate for member Of Congress,
from the lst District has been successful
by an overwhelming majority, in fact that
he has completely bagJel his opponent.
We feel satisfied that the workingmen Of
this city have every reason to feel proud
u their representative, because it is ac-
knowledged on all hands that the votes Of
the workingnen Of Detroit elected him,
despite the covert opposition Of the leaders
of his party. His connection with the
National Labor Union, together with mis-
oft repeated sympathy with labor's inter
ests, proved more than a match for the
opposition. We feel satisfied that his
voice and vote viii always be found on
the side Of truth and justice, and that our
readers will have no cause to question his
sincerity, or regret the choice they have
made.
