Passing to the question Of woman suffrage.
he urges immediate emancipation or women.
The Nation that first gives women equal
rights with men, he says, will earn crown

On the question of finance, he says the
position Of the party that the money should
be gold, silver and paper, issued only by the
Government, is fair and broad.
On the question Of labor he says: In or.

abnormal and often congested condition,
there should be the earliest possible revision

These laws, so inimical to American Labor

Ga the tariff he says: 1--WE must concsde
that all Nations have the right to levy
tariffs. As Americans, we are in favor Of
protecting all American interests. The
tariff proposed by the Democratic Party
and that OF the Repu olican Party differ only
in degree: both are sufficiently high to be
termed protective.
"The establishment Of system Of in
come taxation" he says, ''could work no
hardship and do no harm. When the Union
needed money most during the Rebellion the
income tax was imposed and worked like
charm. 1t helped them to save the Union
and will help to save the Natioh now in an
other rebellion-the masses against the
classes"
he advocates Government control and, IL
necessary, the Government ownership OF
railroads.
On the question of public schools, made
promineat in the platform, he says: "The
teachings Of the American public school

DECLARED OFF.
The SWitchmen's Strike in
Buffalo Ends in Defeat.
Grand Master Sweeney Assaulted
BV an Angry Striker.

The switchmen's strike is over. It was
officially declared of at meeting Of the
Executive Committee of the Switchmen's
Association in session at Master Switchman
Sweeney's room in the Gelesee Hotel,
Buffalo. The immsii cause Of the sur
render, which is unconditional, was the
decision arrived at in the conferences Of the
chiefs of the various organizations Of rail-
road employes-conductors, firemen and
brakemen-not to take part in the strike.
At IL \. M. of the day after the strike was
declared off, Grand Master Sweeney, Of the
Switchmen's Union, was set upon by Arthur
Quinn, a striking Nickel Plate switchman,
and brutally assaulted. Mr.. Sweeney and
seventy-five switchmen had been attending
the investigation ordered by the State
Board OF Arbitration, and had left the hall
and were standing at the corner Of Swami
and Mann streets, Buffalo. Quinn ap-
preached and told Sweeney he was RESPONSE
bic for the loss Of his job.
Before Sweeney had time to answer
Quinn dealt him a fearful blow on the head,
and followed it up with several sledge ham
mer punches in the face. Sweeney fell tc
the sidewalk, and then Quinn kicked him
several times Several byst.niers interfered
and pulled Quinn off Sweeney. Quinn ran
away, followed by an angry mob of strikers
Quinn threatened to kill them If they fol
lowed him, and they stopped the chase.
Sweeney walked to drug store and bathed
his face. He told correspondent that he
did not know why Quinn had hit him. but
supposed it was because he had lost his job
by the failure of the strike. Mr.. Sweeney
said it was the first time in the history oI
the Order that he had been assaulted by a
striker or any member Of the switchmen's
organization. He had often heard threats
against him, but had never been touched by
q man who was disappointed over the out.
come of strike. The assault. he said, was
most cowardly and unprovoked.
