to me ask my fellow-townsmen to
grateful heart all that they, in the
past, have done for me [applause.]
But two short years ago you stood
steadily by my side in every effort of
mine, as the chief executive OF our
city, to advance ito interests and Well
fare. Whatever 1 was able to ac-
complish of value to this community
was largely due to your strong and in.
telligent support, nor can / ever for
get the generous endorsement you
gave my candidacy for the high Office
which now hold in the state, and I
assure you that in its administration,
L have received no greater encourages
ment than the approval of my friends
at home. What have seen and heard
tonight has touched me deeply. It
tells me that my neighbors llre still
my friends and assures me that l have
not been altogether unsuccessful in my
efforts to deserve their confidence and
attachment. In years to come l shall
deem myself not far wrong if still
retain their good opinion, and if sur
rounding cares and perplexities bring
but anxiety and vexation, l shall
find solace and comfort in the memory
of days spent here. and in recalling the
kindness of my Buffalo friends. But
other friends are here tonight and to
all who tender me their kindly well
come l extend heartfelt greeting. as
citizens with me of the great common 7
wealth in the sisterhood of states, ana
one immensely interested in the gem

of the general government-so closely

you with the thought that your safety
lies in impressing upon the endeavors
of those entrusted with the guardian
ship of your rights and interests,
pure, patriotic and exactlng popular
sentiment. The character of the gov
ernment can hardly rise higher than
the source from which it springs, and
the integrity and faithfulness of pub
lie servants is not apt to be greater
than the people have demanded.
/ Great applause.

CHICAGO, October THE Fedora
tion of Trades and Labor Unions, con-
sisting of representatives from the
various labor organizations of the
United States and Canada, began its
session here at noon to-day. p. II.
McLenan, of Chicago, called the meet
ing to order, and an address of well
come was delivered by City-Attorney
Grinnell in behalf of the city, in the
the absence of the mayor.
The object of the annual assembly
is to discuss questions at issue be-
tween capital and labor, and to dis
seminate such views among the
organized working people of the
country as will secure recognition for
for them. The delegates number
fifty, and claim to represent nearly a
million wage workers. Politics viii
form no part of their deliberations,
although 1t is probable there will be
some discussion, and perhaps some
declaration concerning the tariff. The
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers was formally repre-
sented in the federation, but with

A Lockout at Pittsburgh Conference.
PITTsBURG. Pa, October 1.-The
lockout of Oliver Bros. & Phillips
rolling mills began this morning, and
three thousand more men were added
to the already large number out of
employment in this city. The men
positively refuse to accept 121x per
cent. reduction, and the firm gave no
orders to light the fires, so that, in
stead of a strike it was lockout.
This afternoon there will be confer
ence of amalgamated officials and the
firm, when the former will endeavor
to have the heaters and roller-helpers,
who are now included in the reduc-
tion, classed among skilled or scale
labor. If successful, the mills can re-

A Young Engiishman's Horrible Crime
of Outrage and Triple Murder.

A Young Engiishman's Horrible Crime
of Outrage and Triple Murder.
KANSAS CITY, October A. The
Journals Omaha, Nebraska, special
says the present supposition is that
the wholesale murder in Vance county
was committed by II. G. Baird, a
young man 21 years of age, for whom
$1,000 reward is offered. Sheriff Tie
bell, of Vance county has arrived,
having traced Bair to this city. The
theory is thai Baird, during her hus-
bands absence, cr1minally assaulted
Mrs. Percival, who was enciente and
brutally produced miscarriage. Then,
to seal the woman's lips, he murdered
her, and awaiting her husbands re-
turn, killed him. The circumstances
indicate that Baird was pursued by
Hugh Mair, the neighbor, and during
his flight shot and killed MAR. That
then he rode to Fullerton and took
the tfain for Omaha. 1t is thought
he pawned some of the jewelry here
and started for New York, en- route
for England. Baird is an English
man of good appearan ce, and has
been living some time with Percival.
The father of Mrs. Percival arrived
here from Fairbault, Minnesota, and
left for the scene of the tragedy to-
night
