Resolved. That this convention SYM

contest with the tyrnnnical combine of the
clothing manufacturers of Rochester, and
declare it the duty of all who hate
tyranny and oppres sion TO refuse to pus

ORDER
In vehement language General Sec
retary Hayes, of the K of L., declared
that sympathy was not what was
wanted. The X. of L. demanded d
boycott
Mr.. Gator, Of California, earnestly
supported the resolution, and entered
upon what he described us the scien

to the action of Moses when the chill.
dren of Israel were opposed to show its
ancient character. 'Boycotting is not
human, but divine" said he.
Cyclone" Davis, of Texas, was also
for the boycott
Then lgnatius Donnelly took the
platform. The resolution. he declared
was in keeping with the spirit of the
preamble to the platform adopted with
SO much unanimity earlier in the day.
The Rochester clothing manufacturers
had said TO their workmen and work.
women that they could not gain 6
means of livelihood without yielding
their rights as American citizens Mr.
Donnelly said t. at on this there could
be no compromise
The agricuturists of tho country must
stand by their brethren, and we will cru il
all men who seek to opprcss our fellow
men. There can be no hesitation and NJ
compromise. 1t is war TO the knife and
knife to the hilt. trust that those
who have staggered away from this rcso
luton because of the opprobrium that /,
hi, i,cling press has applied TO the wore
boycott will withdraw their opposi
tion, and that the resolution will bt
