BOOMING MCDONALD.
what Indiana Democrats Did Last
Night.

The Indiana Democratic Association OF this
city inaugurated the Mcdonald boom for the
Presidency with enthusiasm at a meeting last
evening.
Representative Cobb introduced the follow.
Ing resolutions, which were adopted:
Whereas the name OF Hon. Joseph Il. Nc.
Donald, OF Indiana, has been prominently
mentioned as u tit and available candidate for
the Presidency; therefore
ReS0lued by the Indiana Democratic Associa-
tion at Washington, That we recognize In
the Hon. Joseph L. Mcdonald a patriot,
statesman and Democrat, who has ever been
faithful to his party aud his country: that IN
the judgment of this association the nomtua-
tion OF Mr.. Mcdonald for the Presidency by
the Democratic National Convention would es.
country and would result In the success OF
Democratic principles at the approaching
Presidential election.
Senator Voorhees, made a speech, reviewing
the political situation and paying a glowing
tribute to Mcdonald, saying, among other
things, that there are many and powerful
reasons which conspire TO attract the attention
and the confidence Oft tho country at this time
to MIR. Mcdonald rs a candidate for the Presl-
dency. His location Is In the centre of popu-
lation, OF productive wealth and OF controlling
influences. "Joseph Il. Mcdonald was never
faithless to trust or duty, and never be-
trayed man, woman or child. We, his neigh
bors at home; we, his Indiana friends and as
eociates we, who stand ready TO advance him
10 the worlds highest honor, can say no less
than have said, and we have q right to say
that much, because II is the truth"

BAYNE ON BLAINE.
He Predicts His Nomination and
Gives Reasons Therefor.

Congressman Tom Bayne has returned from
Harrisburg, where he was In attendance as a
delegate ut the Republican Convention to
nominate delegates to Chicago. CRITIC re-
ing and asked:
"Will not the Endorsement OF Blaine by the
Harrisburg Convention have a tendency to
help his cause In other sections OF the coun.
tryY
''Necessarily," said Mr.. Bayne. 81 think now
that Mr.. Dlaine's nomination Is assured. Tho
sentiment OF tho majority Of Republican
voters OF the country, know, is with him,
and II no 10 not nominated Will be very much
mistaken"
"Will he have much strength In the South?"
81 think his strength In tho South 10 very
limited now, but the delegates who are elected
from that section will, II they ind that the
majority OF tho North wants Blaine, fall Into
line and support him."

THE EtoYT-AouR LAW,
bill 10 Enforce It 60 Come Before
the House Tomorrow.

NnN HOUSE EOsniOrFOWs
There is no doubt" said Mr.. Hop
kins (Pa), chairman Of the House Com
mittee on Labor, to CRITIC man, that
the bill to enforce tho eight-hour law will
be passed by this Congress. Tho bill Is now
on the calendar with favorable report"
Ever since the passage of the act of June
20, 1868, constituting eight hours days
work for all laborers, workmen and me-
chanics employed by or on behalf of the
Government, complaint has been mado that
the officers of the Government having
charge of the employment of these men
have disregarded the plain provisions of
the law and have insisted that tho men
should work ten hours to earn full-days
wages, aud If they worked but eight hours
their wages should BIO reduced to correspond
with the reduction of the hours of labor.
This complaint was so strong and the
Violations of the BRw so Flngrnut
that as early as 1869 President Grant Ia
sued proclamation on the subject, in which
he directed that the workmen aud labor
ers should not be required TO work more
than eight hours u day, and that there
should be no reduction made in their wages.
The proclamation was disregardcd also by
the arbitrary and grinding officers, and In
1872 President Grant again called attention
TO the matter.
Several times has attention been directed
to this abuse of the law and injustice TO
employees, but without avail. In stated
portions of the country it is said the law Is
now disregarded. Beside providing for tho
enforcement of the eight-hour law tho COM
mittee proposes, by substitute, to pay
those who have been required to work moro
than eight hours day, and to reimburse
those who, have had reductions made from
their salaries because the law was enforced.
