The organization of Union Pacific en-
ployes in this city have shown them
selves to be thorough men by requesting
that all the employees be allowed to par.
ticipate in bearing the burden Of "hard
times" by reducing the hours of all, in
stead of reducing some to idleness.
The Tribune will find, if it takes the
trouble to inquire, that, although the
working people are ground down be-

him credit for; but The ENauIRER does
not make such an admission, and does
not think it would be warranted in
doing so.
In conclusion, if the Irish World is
satisfied that General Butler is the
champion of and would inaugurate, if
elected president, an international policy
which is thoroughly American. together
with national policy which would re-
dound to the benefit ofthe plundered
people, why cannotit Eive him Its sup
port for president whether he is nomi-
mated BY the democracy or not2 General
Butler has already two nominations, and
he intends to stay in the fight whether
the democrats have the good sense to
nominate him or not and, as the sup
port given to him would either result in
his election, or in the defeat of another
democratic candidate, it seems that the
Irish World, and all reform journals in
the country could cheerfully give him
support.
As for The ESQuIRER, it is for Butler,
first, last and always, and il. the demo-
Gratis nominate him or do not nominate
him, it will be all the same. I would
much prefer to see him elected without
being placed upon the ticket Of any old
political party, but if that support will
secure his election, and he gets it, I can
do my best for him, and trust to his
honesty afterwards. Etii 3E
