THE OOOPERS' STRIKE.

Mr.. George Bradley the District President Of the
Coopers' International Union, stated yesterday
that on last Friday night the strikers received .
liberal supply OF funos from the socety's head
quarters In Cleveland, Ohio. He claims that tho
monthly dues Of the International Union amouns
to $4,000, and that in case OF strike like tho
present three times that sum can be called In.
Last night all the hands on strike-about 500-were
to be paid OF. While on strike single men receive

$500 the strikers on Friday night, and the Plas-
terers' Taiors', Bricklayers', Caukers' and other
societies have offered aid to the men who are
MIR. Bradley states that the crisis in the several
branches Of the building trade, which was ex-
pected early this month, did not occur, because
the bosses did not force the issue. Il was welt

passed away leaving a considerable amount Of

rates for mining are, ostensibly, one

the proportion lost to the miners by the

questions:

fsesa in obtaining the contract for
public printing, the State would be
justiAsd in avoiding the same?

.be reached, you then direct my atten.

Printing Committee purporting to be
overcharges Of the contracts for public
printing above the maximum rates pre-
sssibsd by law, and request my advice
thereon?
Replying to the first question, Mr..
Edsall decided that it would be unwise,

The radical party is in great dis
tress. The laundering of congress and
the administration has created senti-
ment Of opposition that has developed
into grangerism the mouthing of the
Christian statesmen, who have talked
about the goodness Of God and the
beauty of virtue and temperance while
they robbed with busy fingers, has
driven away from tho party many good

which encourages the idea that the gov
eminent has right to tell the citizen
what no shall or shall not drink or eat
the idea of paternalism--has Topped of
Gram ah sn rad irUH rse the E,sa he'll"
into the lap of the opposition party.
Last week the republican State COM
mittee met at Chicago for consultation,
and to devise ways and means to con-
tinue the dominant party in power in
this State.
Mr.. Hesing has been heretofore a
radical of the most ultra kind. In his
way he is great man, and exercises
wonderful influence in Chicago.
Among the Germans he is dictator.
His advice is law to thousands of Ger
man voters. 1t is not too much to say
he holds the State of Illinois in his
breaches pocket. He is the balance Of
power between the two great parties
As he votes the State votes.
The republican state committee
aware of Mr.. Hesings great influence
to placate him requested him to attend
the sittings of the committee. The
"dictator" is an obliging gentleman
lie accepted the invitation. After the
consultation had reached the point when
was in order the discussion of the ques
ton "What shall the republican party
do to be saved p Mr.. Hesing was re-
quested to speak. His accommodating
disposition compelled him to respond.
He did speak and his words rang in
the ears of those who heard him like
the funeral kncll of radicalism in iii.
nois.
Before he could advise whether q
State convention should be held, he
said, he must first ask if there is re-
publican party in this country? This
was a sumner, and nearly all the mem
bers of the committee looked at him
with reproachiul eyes, as if to say ::
"You are cruel to PROFOUND such a
connundrum at this time" He went on
and denounced the republican party in
bitter terms. 1t had been unfaithful
to its pledges, and was no longer emit
tied to the confidence of the people
"You have" he shouted, clicked GU
