 resolution will be introduced, and that
 it will meet with but little opposition. On the question of immigration, some
 decided Views are expected from the
 convention. They will probably be in
 the shape of a resolution asking con-
 gress to limit all foreign immigration 10
 this country for number of years, but
 beyond doubt the principal business to come before the delegates will be the
 adoption of political platform. As 8
 basis for such matter the following
 program, made by she different trades assemblies of Great Britain, has been
 recommended for consideration:
 Compulsory education; direct legis-
 lation; legal eight hour working day; sanitary inspection of workshops, mines, and homes; liability of employers for injury to health, body or life; the aboli- tion of the sweating system; the muni- cipal ownership of street cars and cleo
 trict plants for public distribution of light, heat and power; the nationaliza-
 ton of telegraphs, telephones, railroads and mines, and the principle of refsren- dum in all legislation.
 With the exception of the clause refer
 ring to the government ownership of
 railroads, telegraphs and telephones, the platform will probably be favorably re- ceived and adopte d without discussion. The auditing committee, consisting of J. F. Valentine, national vice president of the Iron Moulders' union of San Francisco; J. W. Qusle, of the Amaga-
 mated Carpenters of Chicago, and Chris Evens, the secretary of the federation are in the city, and have been inspect ing the accounts of the federation. N J. Nvindsath ls here, representing the Pacific Coast Fisherman's union, as to entering the union.

 WASHINGTON, D. O. Dec. 4. Dear Hazard: am very grateful for the kind words which you send me in the name of my democratic friends in w oRRicOtotO bACh PCAoOaol and political friendship, and shall try as earnestly to deserve it ID private life as in public servlce. I do not allow n.y. self to repine over my own reverse, and as to the general disaster, am confident that the people will soon learn that the democratic party did not deserve any such chastisement at their hands, and will come back to us as psssionately as they seem to have left us. This country does not belong to the trusts and the monopolies, and DO single battle can give it to them. An army may be defeated, but ''our cause" as the old Roman, Allen G. Thurman, said on his recent birthday, Sis the cause of free in- stitutions. and is therefore lpvincible."
