An impression seems to prevail in some
quarters that the Congressional district
conventions called to select delegates to the
National convention at ST. Louis, are ex-
pected to nominate Congressional candi-
dates also. This is = mistaken notion.
The only duty of these conventions, called
together By the authority Of the State
Executive COMMITTEES, a. stated above, is
to select delegates to the s.. Louis cOnyen-
ton.

II the Knights Of Labor nominate candi-
dates for the various offices in this State,
off which party do they expect to draw
their greatest amount Of strength? We
warn our Democratic brethren Of the
knights of labor to watch well this move
ment. The Republicans are going to stick
together in this fight, man to man, a they
have always done heretofore, and 1t will
he well for US if we do the same. We
ought to be aware Of the ~'tentaDgliDg
alliances" lest they lead us to defeat.
The Democratic party is now and has al
ways been the friend Of labor and their
legislation for the past half century or
more points to the truth of this. The rec
ords OF the Republican party show q diff
fsrent state of affairs. This party has al
ways been the friend Of monopoly.
