The leaders of organized labor are
unanimous in condemnation of the nomi>
nation of Harrison, and the opposition is
strongest where the candidate is best
known The Labor .Sjqqdl OF Indiana
polls cannot see how any laboring man
can vote for Harrison
The New York HerIld of Il recent date
prints an interview with Mr.. f. F. Gould,
n leading knight of Labor of Indiana
polls. He declares that the worklngmen
Of Indiana 'are opposed to him for many
reasons They are against him for his
avowed sympathy with leading railway
corporations and his position upon Chm.
ese emigration He says that Harrison
in defending his position upon this sub
iect among his republican associates at
Indianapolis, urged that the Chinese
ought to be enfranchised, and il the re-
publican party would do this it would
give them the Chinese vote. Then by
China the party could populate America
with Chinese votes to suit any emergency
50 long as they were true to the party
that granted them the right of suffrage ~
But this Is not all Mr. Gould says
that aside from his bad record in the sen
ate, he is the attorney of numerous
railways and telegraph companies, and
no confidence IS placed in him By the
masses. 1t looks very much as if the
New York Central and other corporate
Influences which the Chicago Tribpae
says gave him the nomination. knew their
man Mr. Gould makes the following
additional statement in regard to Candi,

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

Mccoy, Murderer of Sheriff Mckinney,
Found Guilty at San Antonio.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, June 27.-In the district
court this afternoon the jury found Jim
Mccoy guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and the penalty assessed at death.
The case was brought here on change of
venue from La Sale county, where, on
December 26, 1886, Charley Mckinney,
sheriff of that county, was shot and killed
while sitting on his horse, by Mccoy and
Bud Crenshaw. The latter was soon after
ward killed by state rangers while resist
ing arrest. Mccoy received the verdict
of the jury with calmness and cool
ness, remarking to deputy
sheriff: II am glad of it, /
had rather be hanged now than be in Jail
another month" Mccoy is one of the
most desperate men of the southwest, and
was the leader of gang of outlaws, whose
depredations through that part of the
state during the last twelve or fifteen
years rank among the worst crimes in the
annals of Texas. Mccoy himself is said
to have killed nineteen men, and has been
tried six times for murder. About five
years ago he lost his right leg from a
pistol wound in a street fight at Cotulla.
