INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19.-The desire
OF the delegates to the assembly OF
Knights of Labor, to continue Pow.
derly as their chief, has been e1.
pressed to him formally. Seven dele.
gates, who represent the Canadian
assemblies, called on him, and asked
him to accept the Office once more
He gave them to understand that
he would do so, providing be
could choose his own advisors
on the general executive board
Everything indicates that he will
be given his wish, and there is nov
only difference of opinion regarding
the way that it shall be done. Ont
plan is for him to choose eight names
four of which will be selected by tn,
assembly. Another plan contem
| plates the nomination of four men
II any be rejected, new names to b,
presented until the number is com
plete. Under any circumstances
Powderly will undoubtedly continue
in office and will choose his own cab
met. Canada wants to be repre-
sented on the general executive board

movement is on foot looking to tn
selection of some representative bust
ness men. ----.---
