WISCONSIN W0RKINGMEN.
A CONVENTION CALLED TO NOMI-
NATE A STATE TICKET.

Differences of Opinion Whether the
Knights of Labor Should Put a Third
Ticket in the Field or Not-SuggestionS
Of a COunty Labor Committee.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 7.-Surface move
NJ Nnts appear to indicate the convention Of
workmen called to meet in La Crosse next
week for political organization, will adjourn
without nominating state ticket II any
such action is taken it will be in opposition to
strong minority, numbering many of the most
active and prominent Knights of Labor In
view of all that now appears, it would not be
surprising If the meeting broke up in row.
The first and main object Of the Knights Of
this state is to compass the defeat Of Gov
ernor Rusk, who is certain to head the Re-
publican state ticket.
The leaders in the proposed plunge Of the
Knights into public claim that in case they
put up third ticket they will defeat their
main object. There was a plan on foot to
unite with the Democrats on a combination
ticket, but this plan was opposed by leading
Democrats, who threaten to bolt to Rusk if
any such combination is formed. Besides, ii
is discovered that the labor leaders can not
command the allegiance of their followers in
such deal, who openly threaten to bolt in
turn
The county labor committee, of this city,
in its report just made, advise that the
La Crosse convention should simply formu-
late platform of principles, elect a state
control committee to direct future political
action of general nature, adopt resolution
denouncing Rusk, another fayoring the nom.
ination of congressional, legislative and
county tickets in every district throughout
the state, where there is the slightest hope Of
electing their candidates, and then adjourn.
On the contrary the knights in the western
and northern parts of the state are in favor
of full state ticket. The result of the con.
vention is awaited with much anxiety on all
sides.

Of adopting it. Much to the surprise Of the
promoters of the scher 10, however, it was

great deal of anxiety is now felt in conse-

Of open war upon the Royalists, resulting in
