CANDIDATES ENDORSED BY WORKINGAIEN.
The legislative committee of the Central
Trades Union has been industrously canvassing
the merits of candidates, and the work is hardly
half completed. Yesterday partial report was
made to the general body and in the afternoon
like committee of the knights of Labor Had
the report under consideration and approved it,
These two committees are working in unison.
In fact, five of the belong to the other.
The candidates thus far Endorsed by these
committees are John L. Grifiths and William
Morse, Republicans, and Dan Foley and John
Schley, Democrats on the legislative ticket, By
for joint Representative. The committee said
it had some difficulty in deciding between By
nun and Harris, as both gentlemen had given
the same replies to the circular questions sent to
them. Both were equally satisfactory and de-
served the votes of workingmen but Bynum
had, it was thought slight advantage in hav
ing been in Congress and voted for certain
measures favored by organized labor For this
reason, the committee decided to put him on the
ticket The fifth Representative demands
further consideration, as do the county candi

reported to the Union next Sunday. The com

GROWING STRENGTH OF Golfer AND MERRILL.
Republicans report the condition of the cam
paign as very favorable, particularly in the
country. r. S. Golfer is making house-to-
house canvass, to the intense disgust of Damo-
cratic partisans. What's the of it," said
one of them not long ago. 'Dick will tire him
self out going in and out of every house in city
and county. He steps in to see man early in
the morning. at noon in the evening, and at
midnight He talks to him awhile aud secures
a vote That is what Dick is doing. He will
be elected have doubt"
Within the past two three weeks there has
been decided falling off in the vote promised
Tom Taggart. He is not as strong as he was
early in the campaign Colonel Merrilrs energy
in campaigning has had the effect of
friends. About six years ago Taggart
had trouble with the walters at the Union Depot
restaurant. They were white walters. He paid
each Sc week. They wanted the wages ad-
vanced to ST. Taggart woud not listen to the
quest, and the walters went out on a strike.
Taggart anticipated this, and made arrangements
with a coored man to supply him with boys for
this service. He paid the boys 50 so week
until they understood the situation. To avert
another strike Taggart out the wages M to So per

walters, aud two dollars less than they wanted,
RELYING ON HIS MONEY.
John E. Sullvian's attention was called yes
terday to the Endorsement he did not get from
the Greenbackers He contemptuously spoke of
the Importance of such action, remarking:
''Those fellows can't get the Greenbackers to
vote just AS they want them. If they did, it
won't amount to anything. Whenever the vote
is wanted it can be bought"

NOTES AND GOSSIP.

/ gentleman well acquainted with the Irish
vote said few days ago: 1.-The Irish of this
city who voted for Blame will remain with the

party. They aided US largely in the spring cleo

election brought ont-economy in township af-

value of real estate.

not to be bought, either. It favors a mixed
