The announcement OF J. p. Ennis that
would roast the Posi- INTELLIaKxcER at the
Madison street ball grounds secured him about
$50 auditors yesterday afternoon. He began his
harangue by quoting from the editorial in
yesterdays issue on "The Victims OF Political
Quacks," denounced the Posr-INrsLLIGRNcER
for not telling the whole truth about silver aud
the effect OF It's demonstration, and made the
usual free coinage arguments. lie then
launched Into another TRADE. He bathed
himself in Precipitation, and almost bursted his
throat In denouncing the PosT-INTgLLI6ENcER,

Kansas, was introduced Is 'another crank."
Mr.. Rogers is the author Of a pes

an editor in the "bleeding' state. He cast q
gloomy eye upon the political future of this
country, and after long argument to convince
his hearers that not only this nation would de-
cay as had all other nations. and that humanity
would again lapse into another dark age,
which awful catastrophe tire corrupt
press was helping to bring about, he belied his
whole argument BY the statement that the hope
OF the people for the future lay In the force of
public opinion. which is being aroused by the
Telegraph and the aforesaid daily press. He also
made a PosT-IETELLIaENcER editorial on the
suppression of rioting the text for some fine

DEMOCRACY AND UNION LABOR.

In 1884 and 1883 the Democracy at
tempted to make capital out of the fact
that the New York Tribune, while paying
high wages to its printers, did not employ
members of the typographical union.
Several months ago the New York
Tribune settled its difficulties with the
typographical union. The emissaries of
Tammany within the union tried when
Whitelaw Reid was nominated to nullify
the settlement, but without success, and
now the typographical union turns on the
Democratic national committee and in
quires how they can denounce the Tribune
on the fact and yet permit no less than
five of the leading newspaper organs of the
party to remain non-union offices.
The New York Staats-Zeitung, the lead
ing German-American newspaper of the
Democratic persuasion, the New York
Euening Post, the Brooklyn Eagle. the
Philadelphia Record and the Louisville
Courier-Jourmal all employ non-union labor
and are all devoted to Cleveland and free
trade.
The following open letter has been
addressed to w. r. Harrity, chairman of
the Democratic national committee:
must also remind You that the Ne,s Yorker
Stats Zeitung is now an avowed enemy OF organ
lied labor, and is trying to break up Typograph-
zeal Union, No. ga
The managers of the Stats Zcitung are we'll
aware that If they should not concede to the
moderate demands of typographical Union, No
pa, and turn their rat-hole into union Office,
organized labor will not support in the pending
presidential contest the candidates whose
election is advocated by the Stats Zeitung
1t looks very much as If the Democratic
effort to injure Mr.. Reid. who has settled
his trouble with the typographical union,
will only call attention to the fact that
five leading Democratic journals not only
have refused to ''settle" with the typo
graphical union, but curtly have told the
union that they have nothing to settle.

All indications are that the celebration
Of Labor day will be as general and en-
thusiastic as that of any previous year.
Not only are the various trades unions
entering heartily into the celebration, but
the business men of Seattle have shown a
commendable interest in it and will show
their regard for the day by closing their
places of business. For several years the
celebration Of Labor day in Seattle has
been generally participated in and the
demonstrations made by the labor unions
have been most creditable to those who
organized and directed them. II the
parade today excels that of last year or
that of two years ago, it will have to be a
notable demonstration. The participants
in today's celebration have the best wishes
of the observation-disclosures for a pleasant
and profitable day.

Governor Fiter is sure of plurality OF
from 1900 TO 5000 in the state, while
Harrison and Reid's pluality will probably
exceed $4,000. The reports from both IN
diana and New York are most encourag-
ing for Republican success in November.
General Alger reports to the national COM
mittee that Michigan will give Harrison q
handsome majority without doubt, al
though the Democrats will carry three and
probably four Of the electoral districts.

sEATTLE, MONDAY. SEP. 3.
THE VERMONT ELECTION.


Vermont holds her biennial state cleo
tion tomorrow. The Re publican majority
for governor i'm 1884 was between 1900
and %, go; in 1888 1t was over q, 900; in
1890 it was but IA, LAB, and the estimated
Republican majority for this year is about
10000. In presidential years the Republic
can majority for governor since 1872 has
never fallen below 5000 save in 1884,
when the detection of Senator Edmunds
cut down the majority to little rising
q. 900.
In the of year the majority for governor
has generally been about 10000, but in
1890 Governor Page was nominated only
after bitter fight, and his majority fell
to II, li3. The nominee for governor this
year, Fuller, is not popular with portion
OF his party, and this, with the
unexampled dizziness of the campaign,
will probably reduce his vote to 20, 600
majority. The campaign has been I'M
usually listless. very few speeches being
made and but little interest displayed.
The Democrats have wisely conducted a
still hunt, for they know by experience
that noisy campaign rouses the Repub.
licans to get out their reserves and in
crease their majority. The Australian
ballot contains some provisions not IN
derstood and the supreme court of the
state has refused to interpret them. The
result will probably be confusion and the
loss Of good many votes through igno-
rance as to the right way of marking the
ballot.
The state election in Maine, which oc-
ours next Monday. will be q better straw
to show how the wind Is blowing than that
Of Vermont, for in Maine both parties have
been making an open, energetic cam
paiga, with good speakers on both sides.
In Vermont Governor Mckinley has
spoken at Brattleboro and Burlington and
Stewart l.. Woodfori at st. Johnsbury.
This 10 about all the foreign talent" that
has spoken in Vermont. while the Demo-
Gratis have treated Vermont with equal
neglect. As straw TO show which way
the wind is blowing the Vermont election
will mean very little. for the state has not
been seriously contested by either party.

M.nuf.e.urer. want Free Wool.

Some time ago the Wool Manufac- turers' association sent to the senate a protest against any change in the Me- Kinley wool schedule. The members of that association unquestionably know that it would be greatly to their advantage to have wool put on the free list They must know that with free wool they could sell their goods cheaper and that if they should sell their goods cheaper they would sell a much larger quantity and increase their gains in proportion. Why then do they oppose the movement for free wool? The answer is to be found in Mir. Blaine's application of the remark of old John Adams. that we must all hang together or we shall all hang separately" They protest against free wool because they fear that if they do not hang together" with the Ohio shepherds the latter will turn on them and insist on putting all woolen goods on the free list along with wool.
