A delegation from the Central Labor Union yester-
day waited on Superintendent Jackson at Castle Garden
and protested against the landing of ortyhre saloon
and second cabin passengers from the Guion Line
steamship Arizona, the ground that they were
engaged by James Pain, the pyrotechnic artist for
HIS forthcoming spectacular production at Manhattan
Beach, and were therefore brought to this country in
violation of the contract labor law. The passengers
were acrobas and ballet girls, and Mr. Paine cOnended
that as they were professional people they did not
come under the provisions Of the law. He was sus-
alned by the authorities and the people were allowed
TO land.

speech made by Mr.. Blaine himself at Lltchfeld, Me-
thiTtytwo years ago, In urging the party to nominate
Hannibal Hamblin for Governor Notwithstanding that

the passage:
The Republican State Convention, which meets In few
DAYS will settle all these issues and then shall march
