influence 70 bring troops To his mines to pro-

: Bride answered that the charge was ground
less, that Warwick was not in the state at the
time, but was travelling in the south for the
benefit OF his health: that hs was a fast friend
OF the miners, and that had he been home he
would nave opposed the coming OF troops,
etc.
Al was present at = meeting Of mine owners
before the troops we're ordered out, and War
wick was the most c2nspicuous figure among
them, who insisted that they must come, 60
ing so far as to say that il Governor HAYES
would not send troops the governor might
have the property, and he IivarSickl would
emigrate % another state where he would
have some rights | called McBriIe's atten-
tiOn To the lying statement he had made t.
the Trades assembly, and stated the facts
challenging him or any one else to call my
statement in question. Mcbride then wrote
another letter To the Trades assembly, recall
ing his first one, and saying; Il quote his
woris) 4 am fully satisfied that the charges
against Mr. Warwick by Mr. Roy, state in
spector Of the mns.. are correct lie also
wrote me at the same time and said: In my
second letter to the Trades assembly gave
you all the credit you wanted, that you were
right whlls was wrong
These letters bore date August IL vet
within week VI McBride, the president Of the
Miners union, ISSUED an address to the miners
of Ohio, which wis paid for and printed by
Democratic money, repudiating his second
letter and denying that Warwick had any
thing TO do with the calling out of the mill
tary. Iquote from this address. The circu-
J LII . 81, -
mental in bringing the military to the mines
in 1876 was done purpossly TO create the i'm
preston upon the mIlds OF the worktngmen
Of the state that he was their bitter enemy
In another place he said: Mr. Warwick was
not in the remOtest degree party to the call
for troops Mcbride, also by direction Of
the Democratic leaders, went to Cincinnati
TO a trades assembly IN Getting, his trip being
paid for by Democratic money, and repre-
sented as president of the Miners union that
his second letter was all lie, and that his
first one was the true one
IF Mcbride were not q man Of this kind
he would not be the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for secretary Of state. As
have already said, his nomination was made
with the understanding that he could induce
the Republican workingrnen OF the state to
Nole IOT ulll duu Tue WnO!6 Democratic
ticket. But can he deliver the goods! say
no. The worklngmen of Ohio are not the
gullible fellows the politicians take them
to be-
Leaders Of the various labor organizations
are opposed to the officers of trades unions
going into politics. Mr.. Arthur, for exam
pie, the honored president of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, the finest labor or
ganization IN the world, will give McBrLis's
candidacy no countenance. You have read
Mr.. Powderly's recent declarations when his
name has been mentioned in connection with
political nomination. Every labor !eai-r
who has the true interest of worXIu ;urn nt
heart hold similar views. They have seen
the evil results OF labor officers acyvptin,
political nUuIIuatIOns from either vi the old
parties
Politics has broken up a. number of COOL
unions and McBrids's candidacy will. fear
break up the Miners union ia Ohio. PoItI,.,
all but destroyed the grandest of all union,
the Grand Army Of the Republic
My letter is already too long. will he ia
Columbus next week to take my son to tn-
State university, when l hope to rnoet You
aud talk further on the matter
"IOmrs very truly, ANDREW RoY."
