the capitalist press could not succeed in
smotheriug, and on Saturday evening
Miller's Harmonic Hall contained an
assemblage of at least 100 men convened
for the purpose of putting ticket in
the field. The Convention went straight
TO work, Comrades WaIdman and Weiss
Were respectively chosen Chairman and
Secretary. The nomination of Francis
Gerau on the State ticket was unani
mously endorsed, II. II, Ferguson was
thereupon nominated for Congress-, Mar.
tin Seyferth for the Cd Assembly Dis
trict, Charles Hoffman, for the 3D., Au.
gust Winkelmaun for County Treasurer,
and Charles UIlTich. Alexander Dick
man, and Henry WaIdman for Alder
men of the 5th. 9th and 1th Wards
Pointed addresses were then delivered
by the candidates present, whereupon
the certificate slips were signed.
The action of the Convention forced
the capitalist sheets from their policy
of silence which they have since ex-
changed, as is their won't. for one of
wiIfui misrepresentation and in their
wrath at finding that Progressive Labor
in Buffalo will probably break their
carefully concocted states, the Courier
the Express, the Free @ Press and the
Volk$freuHd are spewingat it their NAL
evolrnt sueers in manner that cannot
but encourage it to persevere with vigor
on the path it has struck at last.
This path, however, is not. a smoot,
one. In Buffalo, as in New York, the
G. l.. u. is controlled by professional"
workingmen and political scabs, and
they succeeded in suspending from
membership, until after the elections,
those nominees who were delegates of
that central body. This circumstance
renders more arduous the task of the
progressive element in Buffalo; but, the
same as here in New York, the fact helps
to define clearly the methodist sthat should
be adopted in the future, and to- point to
the urgency of reconstructing the unions
upon the basis of oneness of politics and
economics.

In Buffalo.

The Section Buffalo OF the S. L. ?.
have set their town also ablaze for the
campaign. Their first step was to spread
broadcast throughout the various wards
a circular stating the reasons for indie
pendent political action by the working
men and by all those earnestly in sym
pathy with them. These circulars had
the wished.for result. They promoted a
lively discussion in shops, factories and
meeting places to an extent that even
the conspiracy of silence entered into by

Fourth Assembly District.

Another meeting typical of the dis
trict took place last Friday evening at
105 E. Broadway, The hall was packed
with an attentive audience who listened
TO an address by Comrade Flynn from
Boston, and by their frequent and con
tinued applause indicated their approval
of his sound yet radical differences. After
the address which occupied nearly two

falling to c"mrade Christurtf, the latter
to comrade E Friedman, The certificate

Other Meetings.

The Polish Section of the S. l.. P. held
well attended agitation meeting last
Saturday. Many strange faces were
seen in the audience which from first to
last listened closely to the exposition of
the platform for the campaign as ex-
planned by Comrades Pawlowsky and
Bernolak. In the debate that followed
one solitary voice was raised in favor of
the antiquated idea of adhering to the

On Tuesday evening this district held
a large mass meeting at which Messrs.
Bennett and Teche spoke in English, and

The meeting of the Tw elfth Assembly
District, which was prevented last week
by another police brutality, came off
successfully on Saturday. 1t drew
large crowd and adopted resolutions to
the effect that, whereas the Instruments
of capitalism, now enthronedin governa-
mental positions of power, caused the
degradation and spoliation of $4,000, 900
American working people, the voters of
the district pledged themselves to the
support of the platform and candidates

Eighth Assembly District.

Every seat in the large meeting room
on the top floor of n Essex street was
filled last Thursday evening and the
space behind the benches accommodated
the overflow of the mass-meeting called
for that evening by the S. l., p. of that
district. Mr. Rose the candidate for
Alderman, presided. Mrs. Greie, August
Delabar, the candidate for Mayor, Daniel
DeLeQn, Mr.. Miller and Hugo Vogt, the
candidate for the Assembly, were the
speakers of the evening. Upon their
introduction, the two candidates were
received with rousing cheers. They
and all the other speakers confined
themselves mainly to the special condi-
tion of the district. They pointed out
it's strong and weak spots; warned the
audience, which was mainly Jewish,
against the seductions of the district
heelers, especially Judge Steckler, who,
under the cloak of Judaism had used
Snd tried further to use. his Co-reli giOn-
lists for his private uses against their
own interests; and they We're exhorted
TO vote as working men against the
expIoiters whether Jew or Gentle.
During the meeting the certificates
for nomination were being signed in an
adjoining room. After hearing the
addresses some six or eight voters, who
had at first refused to sign, attached
their names to the slips, and about as
many more made pressing inquiries
about naturalization. Over 40 signatures
were registered.

At the same time that in dozen dis
trIcts business and other meetings were
held on last Thursday evening, the large
hall at Clarendon's, was the scene of an
enthusiastic meeting of the New York Oh
garmakers' Unions, called together to
protest against the outrages committed
at Bnghamton against the craftsmen
by the law-hreaking officials of that
city. The incidents of the Blnghamtcn
outrageS being object lessons pointing to
the absolute necessity of independent
political action by the workingmen,
they were as such used with telling
effect by comrade Alexander Jonas who
referred to them as things one would
hardly expect outside of Russia and
which showed that here in republican
America, not less SO than in imperial or
monarchic Europe, labor could look for
no emancipation but along the paths of
political action Il at should place the
control of the government, the law
making power, in it's own sovereign
hands

raised by the old parties were the com
mon subject of all. The speakers also
drew the picture Of present society, and
utilized the late Binghamton strike,
especially its failure, to demonstrate the
futility of combating capital at this
advanced stage in its development, with
out also combating it at the polls. Two
shops, they showed, were there in which
the capitalist was boss: one was the
shop IN which his meI chandise was pro
duced, the other that in which his laws
were ground out; the one was the eco
nomlc shop, the other the political
one; one was the industrial and the
other the State and National Legislature.
He must be attacked in both. No eman-
Cipaton could be looked for by Labor
without its taking the political field as a
separate class,
