Thomas A. ARMSTRONG, the Greenback
Labor candidate, has found at last that in
many times going to tho woll the pitcher
has been broken. His transparent dicker
with the Stalwalts to draw off the labor
vote from P.attison and thus elect Beaver
has deceived nobody. William Howard,
the candidate for lieutenant governor, on
the same ticket, openly denounces his
double dealing and says: IIsncsforth
neither the National nor Labor party can
