taken up by an account OF his last night
in Jail prior to the execution of the an
archiste. He said: ''It wac the most
wretched night of my life. The clicking
of telegraph instruments convey
ing every act OF the martyrs
throughout the world, alternated
with the monotonous hammering
of the scaffold and the awful thumps
when the ropes were tested. At last
day dawned. Servants OF the law, with
distressed faces, were running back and
forth smelling of schnappt which they
had been taking in order to he inspired
with courage for murder in the execu-
tion of which they we're the instrument.
At IL O'Clock Sheriff Matson appeared.
Spies, Parsons, Fischer and Engel were

over them. As they stood before the
cells they called to US last farewell
and the march to the gallows began" I,
The speaker then reviewed the Causes
which led up to the Haymarket massa-
ere. He said: ''The preparations of
the capitalistic class caused our leaders
to advise us to arm and defend our
selves. This advice WAS perhaps foolish
and imprudent. 1t scsnnot be called
wise under the circumstances, for in
the sphere of physical power the capi-
talists were superior to the working
men,"
Regarding the throwing of the fatal
bomb, he said: "We defy the police to
trace the thrower OF the bomb to our
ranks. or chow that the man who threw
it was a workingman."
In relation to his pardon by Governor
Altgeld, the speaker said "The action
of Governor Altgeld brings us hope that
there are men OF stern honesty OF pur-
pose who have the courage to stand up
for truth, and that there is a bright
future before us in which truth and
right shsll prevail"
Schwab concluded by earnestly ap-
pealipg to the audience to submit all
questions of difference between capital
and labor to arbitration.
Fielden next spoke and said ITO.
day we stand in the face of society
based not on equal rights, but on rights
of privileges, and the only thing that
gives us courage is that here and there
a man rises up like Governor Altgeld,
who has the courage of his convictions.
The men buried yonder will receive jus-
tice in the future. l beseech that you

duty in rightipg the wrong dine them. :"
