Well, what was to DO expected when all tho
reputable leaders of the Democratic party were
passed over and an obscure Buffalo lawyer was
pItched upon AZ q candidate for no better reasons
than his utter lack OF experlence IN National AFFAIRS
and the assumption of free-trade deserters from
the Republican ranks that no the only man fit

have not so understood it, and they cannot be con-
yinced that Governor Ceveand's record is right.
If his feelings upon all subjects that affect the
protection OF laboring men " are those of a sympa
thetio and sincere friend, ho has been 80 uniortu-
nate as to suppress them The working classes
have not recognized him as their protector aud
friend On the contrary their representatives have
framed an indictment Of dozen OF more counts

passed by the Legislature In their interest. This
indictment the Labor Convention at Utica on Tues
