 Delegate Chas. Esing deprecated hasty and extreme measures, while delegates Fleischman of the Bremen declared that his Unicn would withdraw if the reso. lution excluding the representatives of the labor papers were not rescinded.

The thieves and ocdlers should be relegated to the ck ground, in ofie, to persuade the honorable and honest
