The labor question is at last settled, if The
Harrisburg Journal Camerons organ, is to bo believed
Read this joyful announcement: One fact worthy Of
mentioning struck fOroiby since the decisive
suits Of the October election, namely that hear
of strikes among mechanics. The triumph Of the
laboring men are willing TO accept its securities. The
eoquence Of such a fact is irresistible"
There was no fraud worth mentioning, &C
cording to The Pittsburgh Gazette in the recent Pennsy

carry the State high and dry"
The Mara farce in Philadelphia was little
