would be started up non-union. member OF
the firm seen to-day not only made no attempt
to deny the story. but intinated that it was
true. Jones & LauGhln have been considered
tho chief union firm in Pittsburgh.
The manufacturers took the ground to-day
that they must have reductions in order to
operate their plants. At the adjournment OF
tho conference well-known manufacturer
said: There is no use talking. We must have
somo reductions"
One man who owns the only universal mill
worked by union men in the district said that
he had to compete with three or four firms
who worked their mills by non-union men.

cheaper than he could. He said for this rea-

and fidelity that had characterized his
service in the house OF representatives.
This was his last public service. His

The Republican League Convention.

The meeting of the clubs of the Re-
publican League of Vermont at Bur-
lington, last week, was characterized
by an earnest spirit and an ardent en-
thusiasm, showing that the Vermont re-
publicans are ready and eager for the
work of the opening canvass. The
vigor of the remarks of individuals, In
conversation and in the addresses ofthe
speakers, is pledge of campaign
that shall eclipse all former campaigns.
There was manifest on every hand a
clear understanding of the RESPONSE
bilities resting upon Vermont republic
cans, willingness to accept again the
trust the national republican party has
at the opening of every campaign re.
posed 10 them, and determination to
do their duty fully, even with the great
burden of increase of responsibility
that duty will carry with it in the cam
paign of 1892. There was an intelli.
gent comprehension of the issues of
the canvass, an understanding of the
foundation facts of those issues, their
bearing upon the national safety and
progress, and confidence that the is
sues would be so successfully main
tanned and 30 supported by facts and
reason that Vermont people would give
the republican ticket a majority that
would eclipse even their own brilliant
achievements in the way of majorities
There was also a deep sense of the
responsibility that Vermont republi.
cans must assume in the approaching
contest. More than ever before, the
election of republican president will
be in their keeping, and they will mo-
shirk the responsibility. They will &C
cept it with all its arduous duties, anc
when the battle is finally joined there
will be no rest or intermission till the
sign of victory is read in the sunse
light Of September 6.

The Revolt Against Hill.

A mass-meeting of democrats to
protest against holding, on February
%, the New York democratic state con-
vention for the election of delegates to
the national convention, was held at
New York, last Thursday night. Every
inch of room in the big hall in the
Cooper Union was filled, and many
were unable to get in. Eloquent
speeches were made by Oswald Of
tendorfer and Frederick r. Coudert,
John G. Milburn of Buffalo, William
A. Beach of Onondaga, Charles L.
Fairchild of New York city, ex-
secretary of the treasury, aud f. Ellery
Anderson of the city, chairman of the
committee under whose auspices the
mass-meeting was held. A list of vice.
presidents and secretaries, containing a
selection of about 300 names from those
attached to the call for the meeting,
was read. The name of Grover Cleve-
land was greeted by thunders of APP
plause. Some red-hot resolutions were
adopted, the pitb of the question at
issue being comprised in the following:
Delegates should be fresh from the
people. No body of men elected to ex-
press the will of the voters assembled
in party convention should be for an
unreasonable time custodians of the
voters rights, or hold their delegated
powers for period longer than is abso.
lutely necessary for the purpose. The
people are justified in resenting any
action on the part of the party leaders,
whereby their voices shall be sup
pressed or perverted" A committee
of fifty was appointed to communicate
with the members of the democratic
state committee, oprotest against their
action in designating the date already
fixed for the state convention and to
urge them to reconsider such action
and revoke their call. If that is not
done, the committee is to take such
otner action as may secure proper
representation of the people of the state
in the national convention of the party,
and as may seem proper and in accord
ance with the spirit of these resolu-
tons. A similar meeting was held in
Brooklyn on Friday evening, and
echoes of these assemblages are coming
in from all sections of the state and
nation. The trend and development
of the bolt will be watched with eager
interest by all parties. In the language
of the Buffalo Courier, Everybody
should give David Bennett Hill credit
for one thing: he is making politics in
teresting these snow-clad winter days "

WE had supposed that the flowing

tom Intellgencer, the Loneuille Slogan,
and half dozen other evanescent
morning-glories of state journalism.
But it appears that Rev. j. Benson
Hamilton of Hackettstown, N. j., is
the present incumbent of the editorial
stool. The leading editorial in the issue
of the Herald and Ne,os for February 4
was written by him, although the same
article appeared as a signed commune
cation in most of the other state papers.
Mr.. Thayer appears to have a penchant
for clerical quill-drivers.

THE drift of public sentiment seems
to be quite clearly toward Colonel Levi
X. Fuller for governor. His name
was more frequently mentioned at
Burlington, last week, than any other,
and when his name was announced as
one of the speakers at the banquet he
received a significant round of applause.
The special fitness of Colonel Fuller
for the extraordinary duties that will
devolve upon the governor for the next
biennial term is conceded. At the
present he unquestionably has long
lead in the public preference.
