also, if it is ADVISABLE. BY reducing our internal


revenue tax
After declaring that poygamy must be sup
pressed and free ballot and fair count Sc
cured for the Southern States, Gen. Logan con-
cluded MS address as follows:
LII the people of this country want a man to
gulde This nation in the direction OF peace,
prosperity, and happinesS II they want the
man who has been faithful to his country in the
CiIne or It's trials: the man who stood by 1t 10y
ally through all it's misfortunes and adverS1tles;
une man who has grown in wisdom drawn from
o VasU experience: the man who is known In
dIplomacy and statecraft wherever our nag
noaCs or the name of our cOuntry is mentioned;
tne man OF generous heart as well as brilliant
intellect; the man in whose hands every Ameri-
can interest will be absolutely safe and unde-
nlably secure-Ghis man, my fellow citizens, the
people Will find in the nominee of the ReDubn-
can party for President of the United States
the Hon. James G. Blaine.
Inc address frequently applauded. At
1ts close the Hon. Clark +. Carr, of GaleSburg,
pald an eloquent tribute to the character and
pubic services of Gen. Logan. He also spoke
IN nigh terms of Blaine and Oglesby. Ex-GOv.
Oglesby followed him with speech, in which
ne Sald 1T was nonsense for the Democrats to
think that they could carry Illinois at the COM
ing election. The crowd received the speech
with great favor and applauded it heartily.
Near the close of it Gen. OgleSby said:
Inls great outpOuring, this majestic display
the hrst OF the campaign of 1884 of any of the
States of the Union-wiu mark an epoch in the
history OF your city, as it will in our State of
unusual significance and unusual dignity. And
1t viii dO another thing. 1t will send pang-a
deep, long, lasting pang-through every candI-
date on the Democratic ticket in every State of
the Union. And ii any candidate has any idle
dream in his head that he is going to be elected
in this State to any big office this demonstra-
ton tonight will cook that goose
Senator Cullom and Gov. Hamilton. also made
short speeches. The meeting broke up about
midnight with q display of fireworks and q
round of cheers for the Republican candidate.

UNDER THE ROOTS OF THE HAIR.
The people of this country like hrains-nerv-
Gus matter under the roots of the hair. In
James g. Blaine they find man the scope of
whose faculties is a perfect horizon
man who knows the size of this ma
tion-a man who knows the history, of
this nation-a man who knows the strength of
this nation-a man who knows the rights OF
this nation-a man who comprehends with a
serene faith the mission of the Republic
and its sublime destiny in the midst of the ma
tions and the ages. Not in vain has this great
State-correct in its opinion, upright in its con-
science-laid at the feet of Blaine the royal trib
ute of it's affection, He stands to-day, at the
very opening of The campaign, at once standard
bearer and victor. Mr. Cleveland, as his letter
this morning informs us, believes in Providence,
and has the grace to say in his opinion, the
Supreme Being will always bless honest human
endeavorS in the conscientious discharge OF pub
lie duty" Iowa believed that before MI Cleve-
land thought of such thing. Gods providence,
you may be certain, never identltled the names
OF Blaine and Logan in eternal reputation with
the most splendid pages of American history
the one as a statesman, the other as soldier
only to see them defeated by person who at
the age of "a deserted q learned profession to
become the hangman of a back county in New
York

The Democratic Rank and File Democrat
lied, and the Leaders Unable to Rally
Them.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York San, discussing the Democratic canvass
and the serious difficulties in it's way, says
The men who are managing the Democratic can
Vass agreed some time ago that it would be best
to have short canvass, and to cram into few
weeks the work that usually extends through
two or three months. Circumstances, however
may compel the committee to begin the active
work OF the canvass almost Immediately. In
spite of the enthusiastic assertions to the con-
trary, the committee is not receiving encOurag-
ing reports The indifference that followed the
nomination Of Cleveland in many sections
where it was believed the ticket would be re-
ceIVed with some enthusiasm threatens to be-
come open d1satfection The committee is sur
prlsed and somewhat alarmed 1t is needful
that something be done, and that right away, to
check this threatened Generalization, if it does
9 obe Some of the as eegaes to fhe
Chicago convention who voted for Cleveland
have already expressed doubts about
the wisdom OF the nomination. They have done
so because they have had opportunity to see the
Indifference and disatfection that exist Aside
from the fact that dangerous detection is GER
tain IN New York City, and the support of Tam
many Will be at best perfunctOry, word comes
from connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia,
and Ohio that proves that time Is aggra waiting
| rather than healing the trouble. What the COM
nIttee can do to check 1T is a very serious prob
lem. 1t is very embarrassing for the managers
to be told, as they have been over and over
again, that there are many Democrats who
regard defeat as better than victory, because
they believe that if Cleveland is elected he will
be under such obligations to the Independent
Republicans and Blaine boilers that he will be
Obliged to recognize them, thus surely bringing
on generalization in the party.
Ihe committee realizes that it will not do to
walt a Gay, and now that Mr. Clevelands letter
is MADE public, active, though perhaps not very
| public, canvassing will begin. The most vigor-
GUS measures will be taken to counteract the
who have heretofore voted the Democr attic
ticket to go to Butler
The National Committee now finds itself con-
1ronGed with the suspicion that the nomination
or cleveland may have been the final and worst
mistake OF the year, and with the fear that I'M
con!rollable decentralization will seize the party
IN some sections before election day unless
active, intelligent and untiring measures are
taken at once to prevent it.

SOME letters have been addressed to the

National Republican Committee in reference
to MI Blaine's views on the question of
prohibition. The answer to those letters
has been that in the event of Mr. Blaine's
election to the Presidency he would have
nothing whatsoever to do with the question
OF prohibition. That would be matter en-
tirely for the different States. Even if the
majority OF American voters were in favor of
prohibition, it would take about twenty -fve
years to embody their views in constitu-
tional amendment.

CLEVELAND, September 10.-Some talk
has been occasioned throughout the city
over the action of Typographical union
No SO, of this city, in expelling one of
its members on Sunday last at its regular
meeting Why this is given more prom
1nence than other similar actions is due
to the fact that the expelled member
holds a prominent position, and he
claims he IS made the target, of few
men.
Whether the best interest of the
Knights of Labor is advanced in this
city BY the actions of a few who know
nothing but self-aggrandizement, it is
encouraging to see a few striving to in
crease the membership of the order.
Ex-District Master Workman Michael
Adams Instituted an assembly composed
of the fresco painters of this city, num-
sbering about forty, Tuesday evening.
Local assembly 1928, shoemakers, will
be reorganized next Tuesday night, ,at
which time it is expected to initiate
every shoemaker in the city. This as
sembly has some good timber. The
present district assembly was chosen from
this assembly.
The stationary engineers of the city
have organized under the jurisdiction of
the Nationaif association. A list of the
officers will be made public next week.

BUFFALO, September l0.-Buffalo work
ingmen celebrated their summer festival
on Sunday, by an excursion under the
auspices of district assembly 46, Knights
of Labor. to Niagara View. 1t was a
grand success in every way.
Business on the dock is improving as
more grain finds its way here for ship
ment east. All the prospects favor a
good fall trade, with improving times for
our wealth creators. Signs of brisking
up are discerned in the several branches
of industry which flourish here,
especially in the iron lines
Our cigarmakers have full control OF
the tradehere. There is,not a non-union
man at work in Buffalo, Boycotting and
demanding the blue label did it.
John P, Bulman, venerable sage Of
district assembly 46, and delegate to the
general assembly of the Knights of
Labor, is the elector for this congress
sional district, chosen by the New York
state greenback convention, last Satur:
day. He is one of the firmest labor ad-
vocates in the state, and has suffered not
a little because of his constancy.
The Bricklayers and Stone-masons'
union still maintain their strike against
the Builders association, now in its six
teenth week. The men are as deter
mined as ever. | am sorry to see num-
ber of strange faces at work. All honest
bricklayers and stone masons should
keep away from Buffalo.

PATERSON, New Jersey, Sept. 10.-De-
preston still reigns supreme over this
state. A number of factories are closed,
while Others are running on half or
three-quarters time.
John Yyle has put some thirty looms
into the Murray mill, which he purposes
to run by young girls.
The firm of Henry Adams & Co. have
struck on most ingenious plan to pro-
duce the most work for the least money.
They run three days in the week, each
operative having to work four looms and
being expected to make a cut of eighty
yards off each loom, making a grand
total of some $50 yards in three days.
The iron molders, ten in number, at
R, NJ. & 81. B. Barnet's. Newark, have
struck against . reduction. The firm re-
jests arbltsation !.

BALTIMORE, September l0.-There i s a
strong and growing disposition here in
the trade local assemblies of the Knights
of Labor to relegate respective members
not of the trade which is chiefly repre-
sented in a given local to mixed assem-
bly,. This jncongruity in membership, it
is held, creates confusion and retard
progress in essential matters of direct
interest to the great majority of mem
bership.
A called meeting of iourneymen shoe
makers, held on Wednesday night last,
was well attended, the object Icing to
effect more thorough organization Of
the craft in this city. A committee was
appointed to take the sense of each shop
as to the expediency of forminga union
to consist exclusively of Crispins or to
connect with an assembly of Knights Of
Labor composed partly of shoemakers.
There is considerable opposition mani
tested in our labor organizations just
now to an institution known as the Man
ual Training school, fostered by the city.
An appropriation will be shortly asked
for by the managers of the school, and
this fact has called forth some adverse
criticism from the opponents of the in-
stitution, although as yetit has not found
public expression. The Baltimore Sun
is free to confess that the school is nat
ural outcome of trades unions. which
this paper alleges, restricts employers as
to the number of apprentices that may
be employed.

A vote of thanks was rendered to the
people of Denver, Pueblo, and Other
places, who contributed 30 literally to
the support of the miners. They are
determined to continue the strike to 8
successful issue.
While the miners of Fremont county
are resisting an unjust reduction of theil
wages, they are not overlooking the
necessity of having voice in making
the laws of this state. There appears te
be determination that coal digger

About sixty million copies of THE SUN
have gone out Of our establishment during
the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all THE SUNs printed and sold
last year you would get continuous strip of
interesting information, common sense wis
dom, sound doctrine, and sane wit long
enough to reach from Printing House square
to the top Of Mount Copernicus in the moon,
then back to Printing House square, and then
three quarters of the way back to the moon
again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would girdle the earth twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer Of q copy of THE SUN dur
ing the past year has spent only one hour
over it, and If his wife or his grandfather has
spent another hour, this, newspaper in 1888
has afforded the human race thirteen thou
sand years Of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea Of the circulation
OF the most popular of American newspapers,
or OF its influence on the opinions and actions
OF American men and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be-,
newspaper which tells the truth without fear
OF consequences, which gets at the facts no
matter how much the process costs, which
presents all the news of the world without
waste of words and in the most readable
shape, which is working with all its heart for
the cause of honest government, and which
therefore believes that the republican party
must go, and must 60 in the year of our Lord,
1884.
II you know The Sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed dill
gence and profit during what is sure to be the
most interesting year in its history. If you
do not yet know THE Sun, it is high time to
get into the sunshine.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-09-13

Let us suppose that you, my reader
have been giving little attention to the
sayings and doings of the labor men,
that you have read and thought sufi,
GENTLY on the subject to have pretty
good general idea of their principles and
aims, and that you find yourself more OF
less in accord with them; that still you
entertain some objections and difficulties
and your mind is in condition of doubt
and uncertainty. Now, .letlus suppose
you have among your acquaintances two
or three persons similarly disposed, and
that you invite them to meet you ex-
pressly to talk over the subject. Suppose
that, as result of your first meeting,
you are all sufficiently interested to wish
to meet for the same purpose again and
again. sometimes In the apartments Of
one and sometimes in those of the others.
Finally you meet regularly-say once a
week and from two or three your num-
bers have increased to half dozen or
more. In the meantime YOU have OBJ
tanned for yourselves and have read and
discussed together, or passed from one to
another, some labor literature. Perhaps,
also, you have thrown yourselves into
intercourse with some well-informed
labor advocate.
Now, my reader, will venture to say
that the desire which you first had to
study the subject for your own sake, will
have expanded by this time into desire
to spread your views everywhere within
the circle of your influence, and the same
desire will animate your companions.
Suppose, then, that each of you while re-
tanning your organization as a little club
Ia group should make himself the
starting point or nucleus of just such an
other club or group" composed Of per-
sons perhaps living in his immediate
nelghborhood, or associated in business,
or in some other way. The formation
of these secondary clubs or groups, and
their DEVELOPMENT, will be easier than
that of the first, as each will have the
advantage of an intelligent teacher.
You see that ina very short time instead
OF one you will have eight little clubs or
groups, each having thread of commu-,
nication with the first one, which will
continue to hold its regular meetings.
Within another short period these eight
clubs-meeting, perhaps, in different
wards Or suburbs of city, or in little
centers of rural population will each in
like manner make of its members the
nucles Of other groups OF clubs, and each
OF these again Of still others; and so on
ad infnitum.

In a previous letter we drew attention
to an advertisement which appeared
here by an intelligence Office offering
inducements to 1000 single men to 60 to
4 work on railroad somewhere on the
Pacific slope, The Buffalo Truth justified
our suspicious. We waitcd upon the
alleged agent here, who, in reply to oul
Inquiries, only wandered off into tirade
against trade organizations. To-day we
were waited upon by one of the victims
who assures the whole thing was fraud
4 He was told his wages would be from 81
to $3.50 a day in United States money
A contract was offered him to sign, which
he declined. He was then requested to
i pay $40 to take him to Buffalo, the fare
being only 1925. ARRIVING in Buffalo,
| the agent there refused to receive him
self and ten others from this city, stating
| the Paterson agent had no authority
which he has since admitted to be the
case but in addition to the $6 de-
manded for the fare from Buffalo 70 theil
destination, if he would pay him $3.5(
morethe would pass him on. Not being
able to comply, he was forced to tramp
home, and steal occasional rides at much
risk His sufferings were really painful
Arriving in Paterson, the alleged agen
asked what he would take to hush it up
as it would injure his business. 'sNoth
ing" was the reply, "but l demand my
money" He was then returned So
The labor orders should look mp those
poor fellows hanging around that city.
