ing on the campaign. When the Conven-
ton was called by the Trade and Labor
Council the idea was to bind the labor or
carnations more firmly together. Since
then the politicians have been at work.
In 1878 the Decentralization vote ran up
to SO, 1000. Chairman Cooper of the stall
wart Republican Committee got his eye on
this vote and laid his plans to capture as
much of it as possible for Beaver, the
Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, and divert the rest of it from Pat
terson. the Democratic candidate. The
fact that several INSCRIPTIONS men, annu-
ally employed to purchase votes, made a
to control the Convention made a
stir. Since that exposure great care has
been taken to select representative dele
gates, SO that the auctioneers will now
have a pretty hard time to make their con-
tracts good. Anything short of a direct
Endorsement Of Beavers nomination by
the new Labor party will thwart Cooper's
schemes. 1t is not likely to be done. 1t
seems to be the most general opinion that
Armstrong, Greenbacker, will be Endorsed,
and no other nomination touched. This
will be very cold comfort for Mr.. Cooper.
If the stalwarts attempt to capture the
Convention there will be a row.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-The Labor
Convention adopted resolutions favoriug
the rights of workingmen, opposing cor
porations and m~onopolies, and Endorsed
the nomination Of Thomas A. Armstrong
for Governor.
o. The Star Route Trial.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Merrick yester-
day resumed his argument in the Star
Route trial. He said: There is no more
certain evidence Of national decay than
the existence to any considerable amount
Of peculation among officials. The we'll
being of the nation is in precise proper
ton to the official purity in which the
Administration has official affairs con-
Quoted. Official vigor is invariably a on
comitant of national vigor and national
greatness, Of official corruption and pecu-
lation in Office. They go hand in hand
with national decline and national ruin,
and is, in fact, a principal cause of national
disaster. No. government can live while
its officials thrive by peculation. In the
name of the people of the United States
and their Governments; in the name of
honesty and honor, and the outraged
majesty Of the law; in the name OF the
sanctlty of the Treasury of the United
States, which these men burglariously en-
tered, and which the officials allowed them
to burglariously enter; in the name Of our
hope for the future; in the name of the
preservation Of our institutions, and the
supremacy of the law and right and honor
over vice and criminality and illeGalitv, l
demand from You, gentlemen of the jury,
a verdict OF guilty against these defend
ants"
Nj. Wilson, counsel for the defense,
opened his argument by criticising Mer-
Ilck's remarks, and in a short time the
court adjourned.
Condition. of Emma Bono.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. ga special from
Taylorville, Illinois, says Emma Bond was
resting quietly at midnight, but the at
tending physicians agree that she has q
poor chance to recover. Death is expect
ed within Il few days. 1t was thought once
Yesterday that she was dead, respiration
having ceased for a while. She has been
conscious at times since and once or twice
was found to be raving. On one of these
occasions her father SAYS she went over
the former statement about the outrage
made to the Prosecuting Attorney and
detailed every circumstance without vary
ing in the least from the written state
ment. While in this condition she made
some remarks hat reflected very serious-
ly upon one of the prisoners.

resume operations without signing the
scale. The mills named are the La Belle

holding workmen are to inaugurate the
resumption by teaching the feeders to cut
nails and by instructing others in other
departments, in case the former employees
do not resume their work by Monday.

lieyed that the iron strike is drawing to a
close. Before the week is out a settlement
