speak here tonight.
He left the platform surrounded by members
of the committee, and after desperate struggl e
with the unruly gang, reached the hotel enter
ance and passed up to his room. An immense
crowd followed him, but only a favored few
were admitted to the general apartments, The
members of the press were rigidly excluded from
the room and compelled to take curbstone seats
in the hall.
After the crowd had surged and banged at the
door awhile, it was opened to admit committee
from the trades and labor organizations OF Chica-
90, who welcomed him to Chicago and delivered
an address eulogizing his course as patriot and
friend of the working men. Gen. Butler re-
sponded as follows
ssGentlemen. such a demonstration as this
coming from the common people, the substratnm
of good government, that upon which the founda-
ton of the government rests, is compliment
which would crafty any man, but when bear
in mind that you came on this, the only holiday
night of the week, from your various occupations
to pay me the highest compliment which could
be paid to any man, to give him your endorse
ment your appreciation, your laudations,
and assurances of your support, l feel
that it would move heart of
stone. Laboring men have the rightto organize
and demand proper recognition of their rights,
and proper protection of their interests and in
every governmental action to illustrate their
power when unified / will tell you that there
are over one hundred members of the present
congress who could have been defeated in their
respective districts by change of 500 votes. The
laboring men should insist that tribunal
should be created before which whatever
difficulties that may arise between labor and cap
ital could be fairly adjudicated. 1t has been
said there is conflict between labor and capital.
That is not So Their interests are identical.
There is no reason why there ever should be a
conflict between them, but when contests are
forced by the few strong upon the many weak
those contests should not be, as heretofore, be-
tween the few with great strength on the one
side and the many with only numbers
ON the other side. Such contests injure both
sides, and confer no substantial benefit on either

CHICAGO, July 5.-The temper of the city
was completely changed from its quiet to-
Il light by the arrival of the Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Texas, and greater portion
of the New York delegations. The demon
stration organized in behalf of Butler also
tended to lend to the air of excitement
which prevailed throughout the city, but was
especially felt in and about the leading no.
tells. AS compared with the Republican
convention there is greater display on
every hand in point of bunting and in the
number of uniformed marching
bodies Very many of the state delegates
and nearly all of the marching clubs are ac-
companied by bands of music, whose mar
tial notes tend greatly to enliven the situa-
ton. Only the vanguard of these indepen-
dent organizations have as yet put in an ap-
pearance, and it is now confidently expected
great crush will be experienced when these
adjuncts of the convention proper are once
fairly upon the ground.
The composition of the delegates already
here is one to create favorable comment as
it is acknowledged that as a rule the best
representatives of the party have been put
forward. The roll of the convention con-
tains the names of the most finished orators
in the active party service, and numbers at
least six of the prominently named for the
presidency. If opportunity offers on the
floor of the convention splendid forensic
display is deemed among the clear POSSIBLE
tiles.
AS indicated in earlier dispatches the
tariff promises to be live topic, both in the
committee room and probably in open con-
vention. The revenue reformers speak con-
fdently of their ability to control the action
of the convention. 1t is given out tonight

In the nrelight's Pickering CLEAN;

Her golden ringlets catch the CLEAN

And a train Of gay brocade.
With pointed bodice and standing RUIZ.
With rare old lace o'ertaid.
Her high.heeled slippers seem to trip
In tune TO q measure gay;
Tire other folds her kerchief close
Der her gown Of sober gray.
One has roses upon her cheek,
And roses upon her breast,
And r.ses crushed on the painted award.
Her dainty feet have pressed.
There are milk.white pearls on her snow
arms,
and her throat so SIN Doth and fair;
The other wears but thin gold ring,
And a brooch-of faded hair.

The Platform of 70.


Manton Marble, who, with the advice and
consent Of Mr.. Tildcn, drew up the platform
of le76, is now in Chicago.
In that year the convention said:
I'VE denOunce the present tariff, levied
upon neurly 1000 articles, as a masterpiece
OF injustice, inequality and false Pretense
Ii yieds a dwindhng, not yearly rising
revenue. Ii has impoverished many indus
tries to subsidize few. 1t prohibits i'm
ports that might purchase the products OF
American labor. 1t has degraded AmerI-
can commerce from the first to an inferior
rank on the high seas. 1t has cut down the
sales of American manufacturers at home
and abroad and depleted the returns Of
American agriculture-an industry followed
by half Of our people. Ii costs the people
i've times more than it produces to the
Treasury, obstructs the processes Of Produc-
ton and wastes the fruits of labor Il pro-
notes fraud, fosters smuggling, enricheS
dishonest officials, and bankrupts honest
merchants. We demand that all Custom
House taxation shall be only for revenue y
What's the matter with that platform?
There was nothing out Of the way in 1876.
With that elean-eut declaration the conven
ton went to the country, and by more than
quarter of a million of the popular vote
that declaration was approved
Why should not Mr.. Marble try his hand
on another such plank?
There's virtue in it.

Thu LABOR BTREAU.

One of the best things Congress has done
during the course Of its seven months so
iourn at the capital has been the establish
meut of the National Bureau of Labor,
The selection Of JOIN JARRETT, Of Pitts
burg. TO be commissioner of labor is proof
that, at least, the bureau will not be run in
opposition to the interests of those for
whose benefit it was created. Mr. JARRETT
achieved an almost national reputation at
the head of the Association of Iron and
Steel Workers for his universal fairness and
serse of justice, his ability and his execu-
tive capacity.
The Labor Bureau viii depend so entire
" for whatever good it may accomplish up
on it's official head, that the selection Of
such a man as Mr. JARRETT is a good au-
gury for its usefulness. He has certainly
that unbiased and judicial cast Of mind
which is the first requisite for the position,
but whether he has the insight and III,
keenness to go straight through a mass o,
figures, bring on. their meaning and pre-
sent it attractive English, which is the next
requisite, remains to be seen.
If he has both these qualities he can
make the bureau an element Of great i'm
portance in the treatment Of the labor cues
