A Reply to Fair Play"
To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN:


Fair Play" is the msnomer assumed
by writer who complains of the industry Of some
men oflarge families who work evenings at pri-
vate Jobs ofbookbinding after their days work in
the Government bindery. l am confident that
Fair Play" Is some botch Of workman. or more
likely proprietor of private bindery that does
poor work and secures little custom, who wants
good and industrious workmen to stop In order
that his inferior services may be unduly rewarded
or that his shop may be moro profitable. But, in
any case, does not his own admission that the men
who work in their own houses to exc out the sup
port of their families by toll beyond the eight
hours work In the Government bindery speak
volumes TO the credit of the men Of
whom "Fair Play" complains2 And is not this
commendation greatly emphasized by the further
admission Of Fair Play" that these industrious
men themselves were conspicuous for their efforts
in securing to other workmen in Government EN-
ploy the advantages of the eight hour law which
they in the bindery enjoy? Let Fair Play" give
us the names of these men, that we may patronize
them. thoroughly believe In the Federal eight
hour law, and have spent more money and time
to secure Its enforcement than Fair Play" am
very sure and propose to continue my efforts in
that direction But while eight hours is an excel
lent measure of days labor. as between employer
and employee, 1t is absurd to suppose that It pre-
cludes the idea Of any amount Of labor an enter
prising and industrious man may or should do for
himself and as his own employer.

Excitement I'm Albany.

ALBANY, N. Y, July 27-Much excite
ment was created here at noon Today by rumor
that an attempt had been made to shoot Governor
Cornell The particulars Of the affair are as fol-
lows: At halfpast eleven o'clock an unknown man
walked up the stcop of the capitol and was about
to enter the building, when the superintendent Of
the building, Thomas Hyde noticing the strange
fashioned gun on his shoulder, stopped him and
asked where he was going. He replied "I am
adJutant. general of this State" Hyde, judging
that the man was crazy, and fearing that some
harm TO the State officials was intended asked for
the gun. The stranger declined TO give It up,
whereupon a desperate struggle ensued for Its pos
session, Hyde finally securing 1t. The gun proved
to be unloaded. The stranger, who evidently had
not yet recovered from the effects OF spree, was
lodged in the second district station house. He
describes himselfas Patrick McLane, blacksmith,
