An affair extremely pleasing to all the parties
concerned came of last evening at the residence
OF General II. OBcirne Eighty fourth street, con-
sisting OF the presentation Of gold medal and ad-
dress to the gallant General by the workngmen OF
the PosOnce building In recognition OF the services
he performed for them in assisting them to procure
the eight-hour system and O remuneration for
the overtime they have worked within the past few
years. The medal Is OF solid gold, beautifully in
laid, with shamrock In the centre, and an inscrp-
ton the back as ws:-"Presented to General
|. X. O'Beirne by John O. Graham, Arthur McLaugh-
lin and Michael G. Dady, the Committee OF Work
ingInen appointed to walt on President Grant In
relation to the eight-h0ur law"
Mr.. Graham, one OF the wOrkingmen, In present
ing the medal, said he was performing one OF the
most pleasing duties OF his life. In the hour OF the
workmen's emergency General O'Beirne came to
their assistance and quietly and unostentatiousy
gained for them the recognition OF their just rights.
Advancing he placed the medal on the Generals
breast amid the applause Of the large deputaton
who accompanied him.
General O'Beirne, in reply, said he felt deeply
gratifed at this mark OF esteem from the class he
most respected-the workingmen. Apart from this,
however, there was a deeper principle underlying
this afrair-the grand lesson that the working
classes rising to the dignity OF their position
and asserting the rights OF their manhood. In a
speech OF some length he alluded to the present
critical epoch In the affairs OF labor and concluded
by heartily thanking the deputatlon for the honor
