ut was never 30 quiet at this stage as II
is now with us. Several candidates are
talked Of. No one is very much ahead OF
the others. The choice seems To run about
like this: Arthur, Logan, Lincoln, Har-
rrlson., l don't know which Is the stronger,
Lincoln or Harrison. There ia 80 much
talk OF late Of Lincoln ior second place
that Harrison and he have become more
even in the race for first place. 1t is very
unusual not to have any excitement or
boom for some one candidate by this time.
Arthur stands well, but it Is because he has
just let things alone aud been careful
IN his appointments. Other Vice Presi.
dents become too ambitious and want to
do something. lie has been wisely content
to do as little as possible, II he is in lorsed
by New YORK, be will got a strong vote
from us. But | think our lack OF excite
ment is largely due 10 the feeling that We
must wait and see what is done for Arthur
At home. If he carries the New York del.
egallon in the convention, he will have q
good many more votes than il it is divided
against him. think he Is in the lead now.
There is very frequent expression Of opin-
ion that il Blaine would be candidate he
would bea strong one. But the impression
prevails tlat, like Tilden, be Is ought Of

situatiou in Virginia, in which he sayt:
"The Straighscu:s in Virginia are really
Bonl bon Democrats In disguise. Since the
Inauguration Of the liberal movement they
haye voted and givon .all their aid to the
Bourbon Democratic, > General William @.
Wickham and John F. Dszandorf arc the

l00. 600 Republicans are .Coalit' 'ouists net
more than 1000 or 5000 are Straiphtouts.
General Wickham Is to-day the leader OF
the Bourbon Democratic party in the Vir-
ginia Senate. lie has openly supported
and voted for every party measure agreed
upon in the Democratic caucus He has
voted, on the floor OF the State Senate, for
the most extreme repudiatirg measures.
From presertindications, fear, that Wick.
ham and Dszendorf intend in the next
national contest to give their sup
port to q separate electoral ticket
whereby the vote Of Virginia for
the nominees OF the Republican con-
vention will be endangered. This they
threaten to do unless Malone is ignored.
For more than 20 percent OF the Republi-
cans Of Virginia, I say, never. We are for
Mahone because VIC have daily evidence
that he is hated and despised by the enc
mics Of free speech, Of free thought, Of a
Tree ballot and a fair count. The State
convention will send Malone at the head
Q! the Virginia delegation to the Chicago
Convention, and be and the Electoral ticket

WASHINGTON, March "a parting sho!
was given the FREQ Traders Of tho House
Committee on Ways and Means yesterday
afternoon, which will not be forgotten
soon. A delegation Of iron workers from
Youngstown, Ohio, were heard in opposi.
ton to tariff agitation. They did not rep.
resent aDy,monopoly nor any corporation,
but spoke for the common, everyday
laborer-that clus that works for liveli-
hood by hardest licka-iron. .puddlen. coal.
heavere, etc. They were selected 10 appear
before the committee by q mass meeting
Of farmers, workinglnsn and others, who
had only an interest in seeing wages main.
tanned, and the words they spoke and the
logic they employed were such that any
ono could comprehend. EJ q z =
Thomas Williams, an iron puddler-a
plain, hard.handed, everyday toiler, born
In England and partially reared there-was
tho first man who spoke. He talked upon
matters which had actually come under
his own personal observation, and his ex.
perlences among tho laboring masses Of
England, and bis descriptions OF the man.
ner in which the English ,workmen live,
were thrilling and impressive. He had
worked five years, he stated, in the iron
mills Of England, before emigratipg to
America, HIS wages, there amounted 10
81 % day, pudding iron, and be did not
haye steady work either. II "a ..lI
+ g spoKR FROM EXPERIENCE, ",
ut is said that in England 1t costs much
less to live," remarked Mr.. Williams. II
deny that, most positively, and l speak
from actual experience. My board there
cost from s. 10 s. so a week, and We did
not live as the laborers OF this country do.
For breakfast the English lab,rers get
bread and hutter and a cup OF tea. Dinner
Is composed OF bread and meat; and If they
get an egg with their tea in the evening
they consider 1t extravaganza. There are
many women at work in the mills OF Eng.
land, also. They do the unloading Of coal
and are kept at other unsklled labor.
Their wagesis nineteepic icents..s day. -
he feared there would be many women
doing the work OF men in this country ere
long il free trade was adopted, because the
male laborers could not more than support
themselves. He contras.ed the different
wages paid laborers in this country with
these Of free trade England. "A. Youpgs.

Balns amount Of work English laborers were
paid 81 25 for. gs5e - irrE7
