Tho Grcenback and Labor movement-Po1it-
| ical Prospect in New York City,
| sptcia! Dispatch TO The Chicago Tr,bune.
/ New YoRK, Oct. 27.-The men who ran the
] railroad riots In this State propose to do some
| thing in politics. The correspondent of the
| Times writes from Elm1ra that the Greenback
and Liberal Republican movement, which exert
cd so disturbing an influence in Ohio, promises to
have similar effect upon the canvass In the
| southern tier Of New York. Immediately after
the railway strikes, the Labor-Reform move
ment was commenced by some Of the most
| prominent members of the Bread Winners
| Leagues. Its first object was to strength
| en- the Worklngmen's party, and to
press It's canvass with more energy and
aud vicor than ever before. Recently, however,
they have united with the Greenback organza-
! tion. and, calling themselves Grccnback and
Republicans md Democrats. What effect the
movement will have remains to be seen.
The shrewlcst political observers are
entirely ut sea about the matter,
aud will not venture prediction. The move.
mcnt has taken deep root in the Counties OF
Cbemung, Steuben, Allegheny, and Schuyler.
In Eltnira, Corning, Horne!syille, and all the
lesser railway and manufacturing centres,
where large number INT ssda. OF worsinsmen o me,
road ron yards, the party has established club
rooms and meeting-paccs. Here in Elmira
every ward has its orReform headquarters,
in which wcll-attcnded meetings arc held each
night. Whatever may be the m result o5 ot;he the
as as ~' to the perfect - discipline Of
those engaged in it. There never has
been so complete and thorough political Of
sanization here since the days Of the Know
Nothing party. Every man who joins the Or
ganizaton is required to sign paper in which
lie pledges himself to vote for its candidates
and to do ANYTHING in his power for their SUE
cess. It is claimed that the ne~ party will cast
at least 3,000 votes in the County OF Chtmung
alone.
Ment are workers in shops and factories. The
new movement Is an unknown quantity in the
politics of the Southern tier, but there can be
no doubt that it will be fur more injurious to
the Democrats than to their opponents. Tue
izatiou will draw loft three Democrats to one
Republicans Such being the case, they are
seriously alarmed as to the result. In forulcr
years, when the Wotkingn1en organized here,
they were ere 1%qGs to some not the
control of the Democratic managers. anu
when the elcction-day came they we're generally
induced, by one means or another, to vote Tor
the Democratic candidate In the present can
distinct and separate organization, and its bitter
antagonism to the Democracy is matter OF
general remark.
