This is a Government of the People,
by u Glass and for n
Class.

At the meeting of the delegates to the
Second District Union at Henderson,
President NJ. d. Davie delivered the fol-
lowing address:
Brethren of the Second Congressional
District of Kentucky Il feel conscious
of my inability to properly discharge the
duties which your kindness has imposed
upon me, and yet, thank you.
/ shall, however, best evince my graf
itude for this manifestation of your par
TALLY by prompt, energetic and UNI
swerving adherence to the rules that you
may adopt for your government
But all my efforts to dispatch business
and preserve harmony, will prove futile
unless they receive your cordial cooper
alton, your intelligence, and the deep in
terests of your people. In the results OF
our labors give assurance that your as
sistance will never be wanting to enable
the chair, faithfully and impartially, to
perform its legitimate functions in the
work before us. The peoples interests
demands our immediate attention, and
they will receive it if we properly appre-
ciate the responsibility of our position.
Hoping that our session may be agreea-
BILE 10 us individually, and beneficial to
the people and our order, again / thank
you.
Coming together from various fields OF
labor, you have again assemblies in coun'
Gil to consider the interests of our order.
trust you enter upon this work with
your love for the Union, and your inter
ests in its prosperity frightened by the
experience of the past in its service.
profess that my zeal in the cause and my
confidence in its success have increased
just in proportion as my labors in its be-
half have been multiplied.
In the beginning many OF us had con-
fused ideas as to what the Farmers and
Laborers Union really was what were its
objects and how they were to be attained.
