THE BALTIMORE WoRKINGNES'S PAR
TY-Ihe Color Question Raises q CJpun1,i0n.-
An adjourned meeting of the WOrkingmen's
city convention was held last night in Bal
timOre, the various wards being fully repre-
scented. A great amount OF time was spent
In discussing the proper name which should
be given to the new party, and in arg ling
over and rejecting resolutions as to the mode
OF nominating candidates for various offices.
On one thing, however, the convention
seemed TO be unanimous, namely, in repu-
dating the claim made by Mr.. Griffith that
he was its nominee for mayor. At an early
stage of the meeting signs OF disse nsion were
visible, but when a resolution was offered
inviting the cooperation of colOred men
who would pledge themselves to support the
movement, "a very stormy scene ensuei.
The opposition to the resolution was Of the
most determined character, and il was evi :
dent that an unlocked for element had
arisen, for the existence of which no proviS-
ion had been made. The resolution was
finally postponed indefinitely, and the meet.
ing broke up without having accomplished
anything leading toward progress.

cured most satisfactory results. Thus far in
Minnesota and Louisiana he has accom-
plished all that he expected, and will save
finally In net results many thousands of dol

mainly accomplished by entirely stopping
the plan of compromise heretofore carried
out by arranging with the parties who have
been detected in stealing and selling IL TO
them at compromise price. He now. in
stead of compromising at a loss 10 the z Dv-
ernment, will exact the highest market price
and thus make them, he says, lose their
