TIE letter OF Mr.. MsUring s1d the re-

TO be very wide breach opened up in the

OF the L,oor party. sid il he has been |
5Eub6ed and as lily treated az he ssys he
has, the eject Will certainly be to force
the farmers to .non-support OF the Union

of tee ticket they will hardly vote fer the |
candidates Of the Knights Of Labor.
