why They Oppose Harrison.

Mr.. E. L. Gould, of the Indiana Knights
of Labor, gives the following interesting state.
ment of one of the grounds of opposition of
Indiana workmen to Benjamin Harrison:
Aside from his bad record in the Senate.
he is the attorney for numerous railways and
telegraph companies, and no confidence is
placed in him by the masses who are seeking
legislation which these institutions oppose.
As an indication of his loyalty to railroad
companies in time of emergency, it is only
necessary to refer to his course pending the
railroad strike of 1877, on which occasion be
implored the Governor to order out the troops
and shoot down the strikers. Governor
Williams stoutly resisted his influence, claim
ing that the men were peaeeable and that
there was no necessity for such action. At
this he mustered up company of his own
and drilled the men, so as to have them in
readiness in the case of an emergency. Upon
the same occasion he made speech from
which the following is verbatim and substan
tiated by affdavits
"Were the GoreTnor I'd force those men
back TO cork or shoot them dOlcn on the spot. -
And upon another occasion during the
same trouble he declared in a speech that
"A dollar day and tlco meals Grs enough
for any lr0rLingman'
The Knights of Labor through the State
officially petitioned for his defeat in the last
Senatorial contest, and at Chicago the labor
ing classes by the hundred were found work
ing for his defeat and in the interest of
Gresham.
There is no doubt that the hostility Of
organized labor materially assisted in the de-
feat of Harrison in the Senatorial contest.
The same opposition will swell the majority
against him in his own State in November,
