PENNSYLVANIA LABOR REFORMERs
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 23.-The delegates
to the labor reform convention of the state of
Pennsylvania, after the general convention yes
terday, met to take action in reference TO state
a1alrs. lWenty-three counties were represented
John Heckle, who called the meeting to order.
spoke in high terms of the labor reform candi-
date for governor, VIM. p. Schel and hoped the
worklngmen throughout the state would do
their utmost in securing his election and that
OF the entire ticket nominated. He severely de-
nounced the candidate Of the democratic party.
BuckaleW, whom he claimed was of aristocratic
ideas, an enemy of the workingmen, and was
antagonlstic to the eight hour law Rcsolu-
tons endorsing Schell and denouncing Bucka-
lev and the platform of the convention which
nominated him, and also that an address be Is
sued to the wOrkingmen of the state were
adopted. A committee was appointed to pre-
pare an address, and the meeting adjourned
subject to the call Of the chairman.
1t is said that conference was held in this
city to-day, which makes it possible that Goa
ltion between the regular labor leformers and
the trades unionlsts will be effected upon the
basis that, if the Louisville convention declares
itself in favor of labor reform PRINCIPLES labor
reformers and labor reform trades union men
will support their ticket. Labor reformers re-
gard this as a most important movement, for it
adds undisputed strength TO the already exist
ing forces of the regular labor reformers in
Penns ylvania.
Almost every county will have labor reform
ticket in the field.
GOV. HOFFMAN DECLINES A RENoMINArIoS
ALBANY, N, Y, Aug. Ex-Governor Hoffman
has written letter to the editor of the Argus,
declining a denomination, in which he says: at
is asserted that my official action on the memoir
able 18th of July has arrayed in personal HOSTILE
ty TO me a large body Of voters, and that their
opposition would endanger the federal and
state tickets, the success Of which desire to
promote. Nevertheless my own belief is that
the mass of the people, Catholic as we'll MS
Protestant, approve my course in that matter
and would say so very decidedly were the issue
distinctly laid before them. Whatever others
may think or say, know that / did what was
right, and what the interest and safety of the
people of all opinions demanded"
