" ON taking the chair Mr. Brodhe I'd made few
remarks, IN which he sbOGp Of he stagnation Of
business the idle shops and turn Ces, an SAID
change IN toe Government AMI see If business
prospects cannot be improved. The national
anu suate governments have been carried on in
the NJ ISL protig! te mannor aud the peop ole who
have been p nndered demand change.
r. u. I. McpOnough was called for and respor d.
ed hriefy. He thought IT fitting to expiaIn WHY
The Labor Ref0rmefs, who nltneT;o had pcte1
with tho Republicans were to-day acting with
tae Democrats; II was their principe to secure

pubncans had promised this and hau received

yenrs, Dub Their pledges have been uniulhllel,
ara inc condition of the working people has
grown steadily worse. To-day the IaOor Re

D'oause they believe tney are mer who viii

appiaudeo Goth during and at the close of his
speech.
Hugh McGarvey was called for and as he
came forward was saluted with music b the
Onnd. He said he TOO had woi d to say, as to
why the Labor ReOrmer are to day found In
the camp OF their former enemy. In the words OF
Horace Greeley, SAID he,we have come to shake
hands across the bloody chasm Because the
Ere platform recognizes all that the Labor
RetOrmers have demanded; because Pershlng
aud Plollet are staunch champions OF the rlo to
OF labor; because the men ON the DemOcr tic
| county ticket are men who earn their bread by
| honest toll therefore we are found II the camp
of the Democla atc party. John f. Hartraiuit
| is not the Governor of Pennsylvania = the coal
| operators and capitalists were governors of
pennsylvania last inter-, AMI the capitalists
| aud rich co pOratiOns Q the governors of
Pennsylvania to-day. This is one reason why
the Labor Retormers are found in the Demo-
cratic camp Another reason Is that IN Perish
| ing and Piolett we recognize two old " Labor
| Reformers. The votes OF he LaOor Reformers
| and worklngmen, whe her Democrats or Re.
pub,icans will be cast in favor OF Pershing ano

| suid to the Labor keformers: SO long as you
were with the Republican party you wera the
| best men in the word. Tomorrow you will be
the meanest men that ever went unhung, He
| continued; Mr.. Palmer, said IN his speech last
Saturday that he didn't pIoDOse to wave the

the bloody shirt aside he laid the Republican
