Although speculation Is rlIe as Uo tue
probable result Of the Republican Coun-
ty Convention, there is otherwise moth
ing of interest, bearing the remarks in
dulged in by some concerning the recent
"hatching", of the Labor Reformers.
But on the whole think their appre-
tensions are ill-founded. II but both
parties will have the wisdom to let them
alone, IL will be the last of the "bargain
and sale party' now and forever more.
Why sir, look at the thing, and, as an
intelligent man, you'll agree with me
that tits the most ridiculous farce and
it ever anything was an imposition that
so>styled Labor Reform Party" is, for
in the end we always find 1t to dissolve
| itself into the triumvirate Of years ago,
with e. T. McD Onough as its head, aud
John Devlln as its tail, party without
a constituency Well the three referred
| to, with few curious outsiders, met on
the 9th day Of August, with closed
| doors, at the IA merican House" In this
place, to concoct schemes for CAM
paign. the result of which was that nine
| persons (ncludina the head and tally
met at the same place on Friday of last
week to nominate q ticket. And such
ticket ! There are, of course, the
names of a few good men upon 1t,

otherwise neither know nor care), but

fuse to adopt any in Individual nominated
by them, aid where are they ? The
bug bear of SO styled labor. reform will
vanish as fog on the rising of the sun
Let them alone, gentlemen, severely
alone, it's the only way to rid your
selves of them NEST easily and efficient

subject, but as the whole thing Is too
ridiculous to be deserving of more than
