LABOR CANDIDATES POSSIBLY TO RUN II ONO.
[nY TELLGRArM 10 LIE TRLBuNEl


lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Banton Duncan. in letter
to the President week or two ago. expressed the
opinion that the Labor Question would have a very
important influence upon the politics of the states
in the West in which elections would be held this
year. He saId that he is at the head of an organl-
zation Of workingmcn of Louisville, which will cer
tainly carry the election in that city, aud his pho
phecy in this respect turned out to have been true
one. He also informed the President that a similar
movement would be initiated in Ohio that would
put candidates in the field, and that they would re-
ceiye great number of votes He suggested that
possibly the Greenback party of Ohio and the
Labor reformers may possibly place the Greenback
candidate for Governor already nominated at the
head Of their ticket. In this case he thought that
that candidate would receive nearly or quite as
many votes as Mr. Bishop, the Democratic candidate.
Information received from other sources seems to
indicate an intention on the part of some popular
leaders to organize labor movement in Ohio, and
TO make its influence felt in the election this Fall
but no positive specific information the sub
ject has been received here.
