MEETING OPPOSITION.
Trades Unions Likely to Fight Mr.
Benediot's Confirmation.
[Bunalo Evening News. /


SYRACUSE, Sept. 5.-The political branch
Of the State Workingmen's Trades Assem-.
bly, will hold convention in this city in a
few weeks, and one Of the subjects that
win come up for discussion is the appoint
ment Of Hon. Thomas Z. Benedict, deputy
state comptroller, as public printer at
Washington. The appointment will be
most thoroughly canvassed, and It is not
unlikely that a protest will be drawn up
and sent to the President, asking for the
revoking OF Benedlct's commission, on the
ground that Mr.. Benedlct's record in the
assembly from 1880 until 1888 clearly shows
that he is an enemy Of organized labor by
vote and voice. In the past few days his
assembly record has been closely looked
into, and the official assembly journal for
the three aforementioned years shows Mr.
Benedict has always voted for perpetua-
tion OF the convict labor system In the
prisons OF the state; that he
voted in 1888 against the propos-
tlon TO submit the question to the people,
and In the same year voted against the bill
to establish a state printing Office, a similar
establishment to that at Washington,
though on a smaller scale. IL is said by
workingmen here that a request will be
made Of oil labor organizations in the
United States to send memorials to Presi.
dent Cleveland asking, In the name OF or
ganized labor, that the appointment Of Mr..
Benedict be revoked. An effort will be
made TO prove that Mr.. Benedict is not
practical printer, as required by law, and
that the law was violated in his appoint
ment, and to have the appointment fought
by every printers union In the state from
the day the convention here formulates
plan Of action down to the reassembling OF
Congress, when every trades union of the
United States will be asked to demand
that the appointment be not confirmed.
The opposition TO Matthews as recorder OF
deeds Is not circumstance TO the opposi.
tion now centralizing against Mr.. Benedict.

greenbacks from Washington, d. c., to
San Francisco, CAL, and brought back sixty
tons Of $50 gold pieces. The greenbacks
were sent to California to redeem the
mutilated currency in circulation there
during the years prior to 1873. Ten trips
were made In all, and ON the first one, In
1869, $l0,000,000 In greenbacks was Sc
creted under the seats OF the car, the detail

first pastoral sermon in that church yester.

DETERMINED TO LYNCH HIM.
What the People of st. Mary's County
Propose Doing for BIscoe.


Rumors were prevalent last night that the
colored man Bradford, alleged to be one Of
the murderers Of Capt. Dixon, had been
arrested Saturday at his home near Merrill,
King George county, Va, and lynched.
The steamer Arrowsmlth brought up to the
city last night prominent lawyer OF King
George county, who denied that Bradford
had been arrested. He knew the whole
family, and said that the majority Of them
were tough citizens. The steamer Jane
Moseley brought the information that
brother Of j. T. Bradford was suspected
and had been captured, but as he did not
answer to the description OF the man
wantedhe was letgo. He was arrested at his
home near Merrill. Friday night q party
Of thirty armed men rode into Leonardtown
for the purpose Of taking Bscoe out OF
jail and lynching him. The party was com
posed largely Of fishermen, old friends Of
Capt. Dixon, and not few OF them crossed
over the river from King George county,
Va. Sheriff Fenwick had been advised of
the coming OF the lynchers, and he hastily
summoned a crowd Of citizens and told
them how necessary IL was that Biscoe
should be protected. lie was an important
witness, and through him alone could his
accomplice be arrested and identified.
When the lynchers arrived they were
surprised to find that their plans had been
thwarted for the time Seeing that they
would have to fight their way into the jail
they withdrew, determining, however, TO
wait a chance to get the prisoner. Since
Biscoe has been in prison he has told sew.
eral contradictory stories, and this has
caused feeling to prevail that his stories
are flctions and that he alone committed the
murder. He still wears the suit found on
him and which has been identified as the
property Of Capt. Dixon. In the valise
that he had when arrested were many
papers and receipts belonging to Capt.
Dixon. The proof against Biscoe is very
strong, and the people OF St. Mary's county
seem determined on lynching him, and Il
will not be surprising to hear Of their IN.
tentions being carried out at any moment.
