Mr. Earle That is putting too flne point
upon the matter. would rather state 1t In this
way: When tho working men and women have
boon thoroughly organized, d,.when tley have ro-
ings that may result from that organization,-
then thoy will become intelligent voters and be
capable Of Judging who ahall or who shall not

Ho is an eminent lover Of the species aud
profeseed friend Of protection. Now, why don't

Mr. Earlo-0h, hos just 0t for where he IL.
neyer had any ambition to be associated with
Mr. Butler Or. to become an interpreter of his
philanthropio" parablos. i,
Yhe reporter wondered whether tho "Eov-
ereign OF Industry" would hnvo the pluck to say
30 much it Benjamin's swivel eye were lxed
upon him,
Mr.. Earle, in conclusion, said that he had
come from Massachusetts many years ago, aud
had lived hero up to tho time Of tho flle, when
he returned to his native State. Ho intended to
remain In Chicago until his work waB tlnished,-
until be had organized soyo1A1 "Counoils." He
would hold q mass-meeting OF workingmen
very soon, and, meanwhile. would Hee thom pri-

PLENTY OF ROOM. . ..
As regarded tho "Advooates Of Justice" he
had only to say that ho considered tho city large
enough for several organizations. He had doop
respect for tho intellect Of Mra. Wynkoop. whose
