KNIGHTS OF LABOR ON CLEVELAND

Mr.. ii. A. Colleen, of Danville. ILL.,.
General Worthy Foreman of the
Knights of Labor in America, said last
night:
Il desire to state that the parties
calling themselves officers in promi-
nent labor organizations who have
rushed into print with the information
that Cleveland would get the support
of the labor association fthe country
were not what they represented them
selves TO be: that they had not the in
terests of the laboring classes at heart =.
but were the hirelings of Cleveland.
The workingmen want Gen. Butler.
If the convention dominates Cleveland
il will sound the dsa,h-knell of the
Democratic party, and the solid vote
of the workingmen of the country
bill be east for James G.. Blaine"

FOR BLAINE AS AGAINST CLEVELAND.

FOR BLAINE AS AGAINST CLEVELAND
There are large number of Irish
Americans in Trenton who have hith-
crto supported the Democratic party.
Representative of this class were in
terviewed toni 2ht concerning Cleve-
land. They declared that Cleveland
could hope for nothing from Irish
Americans in this city or state. As
between Blaine and Cleveland. their
votes will go for Blaine.
.'Of course" said one gentleman, II
can ( say how every lrishman is going
TO vote, but tell you the general sem
timent. rs have learned il from ac-
tual intercourse with the people, and
i'll every case i, is hostile to Cleveland.
II is not unlikely that the Irish Ma
tional association, without coming out
openly, will work for Blpine. in event
of Cleveland's nomination.
Andrew NcI.arke, editor of the Sun
day Advertiser. which speaks for the
labor interests of the city, had no hes
itation in saving:
Labor Is decidedly in favor of But
Ter as its best friend. If Butler noni-
mated he will receive the vote of every
Democratic workman in Trenton, and
firmly believe the vote of two-thirds
of the Republican workmen. On the
contrary if Cleveland is the choice. he
will not capture single Republican
vote IN the labor ranks. and he will
lose fully two-ihirds of the Democrat
ic labor vote. lie is known 10 dicker

denim him.-New York sun.
