James Langdon Curtis, in letter accept
ing the Presidential nomination from the
American party, deprecates the evils ard
dangers which beset the country and have
forced into existence the American party.
He depIores the rapid increase OF immigra-
ton of undesirable classes of all nations with
attendant evils and says: II have always
felt that foreigner should serve the same
term OF preparation for voting as ID required
by our own people, born on the soil, and
this take to be the purpose Of the Ameri-
can party" He discusses the labor question
and says "Wbat the true laborer requires
is complete protection for the legitimate
earnings of his labor, and the widest field for
its employ And this involves the ex-
tension of our markets and "a protection
against unjust combinations, against trusts
and capital at home and OF iudiscrimipate
immigration from abroad" He concurs in
the sentiment that, except in the observance
of international courtesy, none but the
American flag shall be known 10 our people
and none but Americans shall fill the public
offices OF the country. America for Ameri
cans, now and forever Mr.. Curtis declares
the Importance Of having more business
men, merchants, bankers, mechanics and
farmers in Congress, and feels assured ifthey
were there to day there would not be so
much wrapgling over a tariff bill, Tor months

Representative Hopkins, the knight of
labor Congressman from the Lynchburg
district of Virginis, says most of the labor
vote of that district has gone back to the
parties from which it came. The vote OF
that district he says is SO 900, $4,000 demo

vote be says there is now to be deducted q
temperauce vote of 5000 and that that de-
duo;ion renders the result OF the elsc,ion by
no means certain. Mr.. Hopkins says the
continued refusal his applications for offices
for his constituents receive has disgusted
him, and that the invariabie reply that is
madeto such applications is that there are no
vacancies and that none are expected.

They are also, and not unnaturally, all pro-

some capital and some labor agree, but the
agreement only proves the craftiness of the
