markedd day In Indiana. Governor Hill. OF New
York. and aIl the Democratic cohorts down to
Gould fwho has dragged the Knights OF Labor
into the mirs Of partisan poiitics) have iterated
and reiterated from the stump that the men
who earn their living in the sweat of their face,
are going to vote the Democratic ticket Vitu-
~peration and a nalignaney only eeualed
by the Morsy letters have been used
by Democratic orators until the unthinking
would imagine all labor WAS arraysd against

made next Thursday. when the mechanic, the

of theis face will assemble In Indianapolis 50,-
