We are already working in con junction with the Brotherhood on the Union Pacific, and are ready to cooperate with them on all other roads. Nor does this refer only to the engineers, firemen and brakemen, but to all other labor organizations. am in favor of a federation of all There is not room for two warning organizations in this country, but there is room if they work to- gether for the common good. I am ready to go as far as any other man in America in order to bring about this union of interests, and am satisfied that the men who are at the head of other labor organizations have the interest of the men whom they represent as much at heart as profess to have, and I certainly expect to all working in har- mony in a very short time."

President Cleveland EIoquently Urged to Attend the Ohio Exposition Demo cratic Day and Take His Wife Along. CINCINNATI, Oct. 20.-The following lette, explains itself
 CINCINNATI, Oct. 19 His Excellency Hon. Grover Cleveland, Presi' / dent of the United States:
 The commissioners of the Centennial expo sition now progressing ill Cincinnati have assigned Thursday, Oct. 25th as Democratic day.
 It is the desire and purpose of the various Democratic organizations ill the vicinity o Cincinnati indeed of Ohio, Indiana and Ken lucky, to make that day historic by gather ing under the roofs of these great exposition buildings an assemblage of Democrats larger and they will be more enthuSiastic-thar any political assembly ever held in the Ohio valley.
 It is peculiarly the wish of the Democracy that this meeting of your devoted and faith full personal and political friends may be crowned and gladdened by the presence ot yourself and Mrs Cleveland; and we have been honored by appointment as a committee through whose mediumship this invitation to you both should be extended.
 We desire the opportunity of showing you by the cordiality and magnitude of the greet ing and hospitality we promise how near and dear both yourself and Mrs. Cleveland are to the hearts of not only the Democrats oi this great section, but also of its people irrespective of party affiliations.
 To show you that the patriotic purpose and wise statesmanship and honest and economi- cal executiveship that have been so faith fully and courageously exemplitied in your administration as president, as we'll as the charming and queenly grace with which Mrs. Cleveland has presided over the social destiny of this, the first term of Democratic occu- pancy of the White House in a quarter of century, are not only appreciated by the vast army that by its suffrage once and is now about to again elect you chief magistrate but are remembered by all with just party pride and the liveiest patriotic satis faction.
 Nor is the motive of this request wholly unselfish. There is no doubt but our party neighbors in Indiana and Kentucky have already won the battle that will give you the electoral votes of these two states The issue there is sure. There is no power in the earth beneath that can stay or prevent it. But of Ohio want that Judge Thur mans own state, too, shall honor herself by casting her electoral vote for you and him, and we believe we can accomplish this result by the aid of your presence here upon that day.
 We are not unmindful of the cares and duties urging your presence ill Washington toward the adjournment of congress, and it is with the hope and wish that in no way will this invitation embarrass you in that regard.
 But believe us, that this invitation to you and Mrs. Cleveland comes directly from the heart of every Democrat in this valley, and is sent you with their affectionate respect and loyal regard and pledge of party fealty and hope. Most sincerely and truly,
 CHARLES w. BAKER.
