LABOR-POLITICAL MEETINGS.

The platform which candidates will
be asked to sign this fall, pledging
themselves to support certain reforms
advocated by organized labor, was YES
terday Endorsed by meeting of indie
pendent workingmen held at 123 Nicol-
let avenue. 1t was decided to urge the
city convention of the United Labor
party to adopt the platform with the
suggestion that the reforms therein ad-
vocated can only be obtained by indie
pendent political action.
*x*
The three Minneapolis sections of the
SOcialistic Labor party, in joint session,
yesterday concluded discussion that
had occupied three successive Sunday
meetings. The discussion related to the
sending delegates to a proposed indie
pendent labor convention to be held at
st. Paul oR the 2Sth inst. The meeting
almost unanimously decided by vote
not to send delegates, and adopted a
letter to said convention stating the rea-
sons for said action. This is said to be
a new and important departure of the
socialists in regard to political action.

interest i'll this city and elsewhere.

A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.
A Memorial to the Dead by Rev.
Gil Morrill,

@. L. Morrill,.
Rev. G. L. Morrill, prefaced his SER
mon yesterday morning with the fol-
lowing tribute to the late Gen. Phil
Sheridan:
The Bible inculcates the loftiest
patriotism whether we read of the
warrior poet David, whopreferred Jeru-
salem above his chief joy, OF listen to
Christ as he says, Render unto Caesar
the things that are CeSar's," or think of
II am citizen of no mean CITY," 1t is
fitting this morning to pause long
enough to place forget-me-n0t upon
the new-made grave of one who with
Grant and Sherman moved battlement
against treason and taught brothers it
was better to till the soil than stain it
with blood. Philip Henry Sheridan,
after many weeks of waiting, has at last
joined thess bivouac of the dead, but
lives i'll memory which will be cher
ished SO long as the national heart beats.
Alexander and Cesar left their impress
upon the countries and centuries in
which they lived. Little Phil" from
the time he entered West Point until he
received his commission of general of
the United States army, stamped his
ity of character which enrollS him among
earth's great and good. Grant
ranked him with the first soldiers
not only Of our country, but of the
world; while from cradle to coffin,
though weighted with difficulties as
S!nbad with the old man of the sea, in
the relation of citizen, husband. father
and friend, he was an illustration of
Disraeli's words: Private life really
governs the world" His name ana
fame are recorded in song and stories,
while in American history he is revered.
for influences which, like streams of
morning light, have blessed and bright
ened our land. He seems like ''War-
rior taking his rest with his martial
cloak around him." but the sword has
been exchanged for THAT golden key
that opes the Palace of Eternity" May
the Great High Priest the Resurrection,
Jesus shine into the dimmed eyes and
darkened heart of the bereaved wife
and children and reveal Himself to us
all as the One who comes from heaven
to our helpless, hopeless condition, to
show us by practice and precept how, as
Captain of our salvation, He could lead
us to victory.

REPUBLICAN RUMoRs.

Col. Ed Davenport has named Eugene
Hay as a candidate for the legislature
TO succeed c. H. Petit. Some of the
voters of the Twenty-ninth district,
however. think that it would he Just as

they will remove to some other city
where they can get office. 1t was only
by giving Il. q. Evans, another Indiana
man, the presidency of the Union
league, before he had lived in the state
six months, that he was induced to stop
with US and he only gave up the Office
to Col. Stratton, another newcomer
from Hoosierdoin, after he had secured
a place on the state central committee.
One of the old war horses of the G. 0. p.
said few days ago that between the
foreigners and the "Hoosiers'' an
American stood pretty poor show to
secure an office from the Republican
party OF Hennepin county.
A rumor is afioat that Col. Freeman p.
Lane has been informed by the powers
that be that he can not go to the legisla-
ture next winter as member from this
county. Freeman might as well give up
the idea of ever going to the legislature,
Tor he has been trying to get there for
the last fifteen years and has always
been invited to make himself scarce
Whenever he stood any show of getting
the nomination.
Hon. c. H. Petit has notified his
friends that he will not be a candidate
this fall for the legislature. He gives
as a reason for withdrawing from the
contest, that his health will not permit
OF his stopping in Minnesota daring the

dan is now a part Of his coun-
try's history. Different from either, he
stands in tie same rank with Grant and
Sherman. Grant himself ranked Sheri-
dan with Napoleon and Frederick. In
one thing he was pre-eminent, the power
of putting inspiration into an army. He
could not stand off and direct fight
from without. He must plunge into it.
1t seemed to his soldiers as if he were
everywhere. Every man seemed to feel
his presence. and was moved by that
feeling to do his utmost. He projected
his own courage into his soldiers, and
made them fight as he fought. But he
could plan as well as fight and inspire.
1t is tribute enough to his genius that
the study of his campaigns, and espe-
cially of his methods of handling cav
airy, has revolutioniZed the tactics of
German armies. Won Moltke has spoken
of Sheridan in terms almost as glowing
as those of Gen. Grant. While Sheri-
dan was brave and wise, he was unset
fish. His glory was the glory of win
ming victories for his country. There is
no stain upon his patriotism. He went
down to his grave bearing the title Of
general of the army of the United
States-a title worn before him only by
Sherman, Grant and Washington.

A CLEVER INVENTION.
A New Rowing Device and Life
Saving Machine

One of the greatest attractions at the
Exposition this year will be two boats
with a new patent device called a
vibrating paddle. Ely Wright has
moved to this city for the express pur-
pose of manufacturing and introducing
this invention. A factory will be built
in Minneapolis or st. Paul for the mani
ufacture of all kinds of boats, to be pro-
PEELED by steam or hand, with this
new device attached. This device has
been thoroughly tested in the Mississippi
and meets MI. Wright'S most sanguine
expectations, both as to speed and ease
of propelling. MI. Wright says he can
run steamer double the speed of the
best craft on the water and with half
the power. Any lady or child can pro-
pei the small boats with ease, giving
healthful exercise to both the back and
chest, and a position of ease, grace and
comfort. A sculling machine, a life
saving and swimming machine will
be manufactured with the same
attachment, the latter can be
more easily adjusted than any
other ever invented, and making danger
of drowning thing of the past. These
machines can be used by ladies as well
as gentlemen, any one having one on
making the effort to walk cannot sink.
Arrangements have been made with the
Minneapolis Wire Works company to
manufacture this device.

equal to banner or trumpet. His mill
