Why Is It Thus7

To the Editorof The Irish Standard:
S1R,-For many years [ have been 9
member of the Typographical Union
and always try to uphold the principles
of unionism so far as lays i'll my power
I understand that in the city Of Min,
neapolis there exists at least three
papers that employ nothing but non.
union printers and lady type-setters
The names of these papers are the
Spectator, Mercury and sheet known
as the Presbyterian. Allof these, with
the exception Of the last named sheet.
which from it's editorial imperfecti0ns
can scarcely be called newspaper, sub
sist wholly upon the patronage eff work
ingmen, who are evidently unaware OF
the fact that they should be classed in
a list Of unfair Offices. They compete
with other weekly newspapers that pay
a fair days wages for fair days work,
and at the same time get their work
done for almost nothing by paying
starvation wages to girls. do not
wish to be understood as being opposed
to female labor in printing Office. Far
from it !! Any woman who earns her
bread by type-setting and at the same
time by belonging to the typographical
union assists in keeping wages at liv-
ing rate shall always receive the re-
spect OF every man in the composing
room, but believe they are entitled to
just as good wages as men. It does
not seem to me to be very manly on the
part of these papers who draw their
support from workingmen to live Law
ishly at the expense Of these poor girls.
I believe that something could be done
to bring the Spectator and Mercury
within the fold, but of course the
Presbyterian, being edited and managed
by scrupulous, honorable and upright
religious man, whose sole aim is to
work for the salvation Of sinners would
think twice before paying a reasonable
days wages for a reasonable days
work, for fear that his employees might
SpCilSt UuC1A AOACy AA A4OtOuo A1F11S.
At least that is generally the case with
papers of the ilk Of the Presbyterian.
What I would like to ask, is why does
not a respectable and influential trades
organization like the typographical
union place the ban upon such papers
as this, and try to prevent the whole
sale prostitution Of journalism which is
daily taking place in our midst There
is no fear of them ever becoming
bloated monopolists,' - like Gould, but
they should be compelled to earn an
honorable livelihood, and not secure
their meal tickets at the expense of
hard working, honorable women, and
rat printers. Let them be branded.
Yours, ETC.,
OLD PRINTER.
THE IRISH STANDARD has never in
quired into this matter, but now that it
has been brought to our attention
would concur in the suggestion that
something should be- done to compel

the convention. Mr.. Bascom asked
Mr.. Price why he did not notify all
the delegates of the caucus 10 he held.
Mr.. Price did not reply, 10 did Mr..
Turner ask for the proof III regard to
his action in the last convention. Mr..
Wclborn again took the floor and said
this was Il slick %aInc which he pro-
posed to defeat if it was in his power
to do so; that this Turncr-Tauhman
fight was cicrnally thruStino itself into
every republican meeting held in Lex
ington and that it cropped ont at the
late primary there, and he thought and
said they ought to have it ont there
and then, but had been persuaded in
The interest of harmony 10 keep quiet;
that he did o belong to either fac
ton: that sometimes he had to fight
one faction and then the other, and
sometimes both together, but he
thought, worked and voted as he
thought right, regardless of consequent
ces or who or what was opposed 20
him. He said he did not want to come
tn this convention because he feared
something of this kind wonld come mp
which he would be obliged to fight,
and he did not like to be always in Il
brOil; that the voters of Lexington
would not select Turner if it was left
to them to decide; that the selection of
Mr.. Taubman for the state convention,
by the caucus, was done to pull the
WOO Ono allusiOn we persumc to the
colored dclegatcs) oven the eyes OF the
Taubman men and get an anti Warner
man upon the delegation. Now he
proposed that both Taubman and Tur-
ncr be invited to take back seats and
that Judge Walker, that Old war-horse
of republicanism in Lafayette county,
he put in place OF Turner on the con-
~gressional delegation and some other
good man, not Taubman, be sent
to the state convention. This PROPOSE
ton was readily asscnted to by Mr..
Taubman by a nod of approval TO Mr..
WelbOrn. Mr.. Price claimed that as
a matter OF right Il majority of the Lex
ingtOn delegation should he allowed to
name its nan tor the place; that this
right had been granted to every other
delegation and asked that the cOnven-
ton do not Interfere with the express
ed wish of that majority, but should
ratiiy this action by confirming Mr..
Turner. MIR. Welborn said that Mr..
Price was Il newly-fledged republican
and was in his first republican owen
ton as a delegate; that some claimed
that he was not a republican at all, but
a democrat yet that it did not become
him TO attempt to catch the old repub-
lican birds with such trash; that if this
matter was not satisfactorily settled
now, they might as well tear up the
whole ticket rs it would be defeated
at the polls: talk about there being no

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The democratic convention at St.
Louis, last week, was the largest polit-
ical convention ever held in Missouri to
nominate a state ticket. Every county
in the state was represented. The par
quet floor of the immense music hall
in the exposition building in st. Louis
was comfortably filled with the dele
gates. The dress circle was crowded
with spectators, and the galleries some
what occupied, making, when Senator
Vest delivered his mastery speech, an
audience as large as the voice of n
man could we'll reach.
The convention was SO large that it
was very hard to control, not because
it was at any time out OF humor, but
for the reason that the least confusion
multiplied by so many voices, would
easily drown out the attempt of a
speaker to be heard,
Ex-Gov. Phelps and Hon. A. NJ.
Dockery, the temporary and permar
nent ohairmen, are both thorough par
liamentarians, and presided with digni-
ty and ability, They were at times re-
lieved by Dr.. Shields, Hon. Richard
Bland and Col. Shankland.
There we're six ballots for supreme
Judge. On five of these bollots, as long
as there vas any chance for his nomi-
nation, the Lafayette county delegation
voted tor Judge Alexander Martin, in
accordance with the instruction of the
convention which appointed it. During
the fifth ballot, the writer, on behalf
of the Lafayette county delegates,
went over to the st. Louis delegation
and endeavored to persuade the dele
gates to change to Martin, thereby, in
all probability, securing his nomination
on the succeeding ballot. Whilst a
number of the delegates favored this
action the leaders, Coils. Grit. Frather
aud c. c. Rainwater opposed it bit
terly. Capt. Conner was sem as a
second envoy tor the same purpose
but also failed. Jackson, Lafayette
and St. Louis counties Withdrew for
consultation during the sixth ballot.
Both Jackson and st. Louis refused to
abandon Judge Henry. 1t being mani
fest that Judge Martins name would
drop from the list the Lafayette delega-
ton voted 6 for Brace and 6 tor Henry,
and upon the change of Mississippi
county to Brace changed its vote in
accordance with the views of the dele
gates to 9 for Brace and s for Henry,
upon which, changes followed rapidly
until nearly the entire vote was chang
ed to Judge Brace, who was then, up
on motion of Mr.. Ed. Stevens of Boone,
nominated by reclamation.
The nomination for superintendent
of public schools vas a mere formal
record of a pre-understood fact, Mr..
Coleman receiving 494 votes on the
first ballot.
The contest for railroad commission
er was a very spirited one. Fourteen
gentlemen we're placed in nomination.
Of these, for several ballots, Mr.. Nc
Grew stood fourth, the great difficulty
he labored under being the instruction

The question of the N of elect
ing the congressional delegates in this
county has, in u opinion, been sufi-
GENTLY discussed. There is very little
danger after what has been said upon
it that such action will eve again be
taken. The convention has given US a
candidate for whom every democrat
may vote without regard to the details
of the formation of the convention
Let discussions and personalities be-
tween democrats cease. Let us all put
our differences behind US, and unitedly
labor to advance the cause of r dem
ocrscy. Thus may we best serve our
country.

Mr.. Gladish is no doubt a very nice
man, but if he wants to be an anti
monopolist he ought to join the demo-
cratic party. Beside, we have it over
his signature that the democratic ticket
in this county is to be elected. Why,
therefore, should he waste his valuable
time in an empty form?

Aessrs. KroeHcke, Taylor, Benton,
Powell and Bruins are all very clever
gentlemen, who, after more or less
persuasion have loaned the respectable
ity of their names to the republican
county ticket. They don't expect to
be elected and will take the cruise east
ly when they are started up Salt river
in November.

On last Friday at Chicago seven Of
the anarchists were condemned to
death and one to fifteen years in the
pe%nitentiary. Those sentenced to
death are Michael Schwab, Louis
Lingg, A. R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer,
Samuel Fielder, August Spies and
George Engel. The young la who
goes to the penitentiary as less guilty
than the others is Oscar W. Neebe.
The jury readily found a verdict, OF
which there is universal approval
throughout the country. The execu-
ton of the seven murderers will be
the death-blow TO anarchy in this
country.
