wages, causing strikes and lockOuts with
ont end. His last message was devoted
entirely to pointing out ibis s7Set ntess-
sity which, il not attended to must
invariably cause dire results. What
more can he do? What moIe
could Union Labor President do? The
carrying out Of his recommendations are
in the hands Of Congress, where an oo'
structiye minority sid q hostile Senate
are bindly lighting these reforms. Did
it rest with the President or even with
the Democrats in Congress We should not
wait long for these reforms, but, untoTtu-
pately for the country it does not, hence
il is the height of folly for the trainers OF
the call for the Union Labor convention to
complain becau e Democratic admins
tration docs not DO away with the con-
tests between capital aud labor, and the
loud complaints throughout the country, "
all at once. Ii the projectors Of the
Union labor paIiy, who We believe are
scticg in good Faith, will pause moment
aud think, they cannot help seeing the
uuiJstness, rot TO cay foolishness, Ct their
complaint against the Democratic party as
set forth in their call.
So much for the nonsense this call con-
tains. TIE remainder>of it shows keen
insight into the political situation.
"Aud what Of the Republican partyP" it
asks. at is in such disOrGanized con-
dition that il can hardly be called q pOliti-
cal factor in this State and the same IL,
largely, true in the nstion." Clearly this
ia from the pen Of man who has been
there. Hear him:
II is partially dead in the shelP' fer
useful purposes. Its organization has
fallen, IL part, in this State, into the
hards of so-cslied leaders, who lack the
confidence of the masses Of the party, and
who srek to use the organ zatiOn Tor their
own selG,h purposes. Too many bum
m n aud dishonest men get TO tie mont
for the benefit of the party. Too many
men whose whole lives have been spent in
office holding, or office seeking, ana VINO
think the party - owaed by them Toe
their persona. benefit; and Who are per-
misscd to occupy too prominent positions
ia it. Too many Of its 80 called leaders
ma; quersde under professions OF rellgIoa,
mcrality, temperance and sunday schools.
This is q meIe pIetence. Strip the cover
ing from them and they will appear any
th;ng but what their professions
indicate-a mere sham. Many OF them
are hypCcrit,s, false guild, sand there Is
40 real good in them. II IL not to be won
ds-sd at that there should be turmOils,
DISCRIMINATION and dishearteniUgs in the
Republican party. IL - 40 wonder that
large numbers Of them should call a matt
and be seriously considering the necessity
of disbapdirg such a p,rty under such
leaders. Nothing bat defeat can come 10
such n party under such leaders; and
nothing but defeat and disgrace should
come to such party under such leaders
