Space will not permit a detailed ac-
count Of the nominations and ballots
for the several offices. Suffice It to
say that while there was much earnest
ness in the advocacy Of the several
candidates, the utmost harmony and
good feeling prevailed from the be-
ginning to the end OF the session, and
each nomination was made unani-
nous the opposing elements submit
ting gracefully in every instance to
the decision Of the majority.
The ticket is a strong one, and one
that is bound to win. Composed as
it is Of men who have formerly affiliat-
cd with all the political parties, the
opposition will of course continue to
sing their old song respecting the
democratic and union labor proclivi-
ties Of the convention and It's nomi-

ber of all the industrial organizations
expects it, 1t is the only argument( p
10 be urged against it. The people,
however, understand perfectly we'll
that we know no party in our Organi-
zations and care nothing for former
political affiliations. The only ques-
tiona now to be considered, or that
tCiR be considered by the people, are
whether the candidates are honest
and true to the principles Of our plat
form. The falsehoods and misrepre-
sensations of the enemy, and their en-
deavors to excite prejudice by their
cry Of union labor and democracy,
will have no more effect than water
poured upon a ducks back, The
spirit manifested in the convention
ought to satisfy every doubling
Thomas that the people are not in
condition to be fooled very much of
the time in this coming campaign.
