REPoRrER-You say the conflict Is irrepressble and

IN q moment all over the State on general planY
Mr.. KEIdHr-I should say not Those grand upris-

REpoRrER-rhea you think he is not what he

Mr.. KNoHr-He has gone East with the reputation
Of being the lion OF the workingmcn's party OF Cu-

represent the intelligent workugmen OF California,
