1T must be apparent to every man

all outsiders who are interested IN Col

not question of the defeat of any one

beyond the ken of any man TO estimate
the damage that has been done this
State by the present administration, and
no matter who might be upon the
Populist ticket in the coming election,
whether the present Governor or some
one else, the election OF that ticket
would mean continuance Of the present
Generalization; IL not the Fastening OF
complete ruin"

The Central Labor Union represents
50. 0O0 workingmen, but 1t Is by no means
certain that an alliance will be made
with the Populists under the circum-
stances. The workingmen have SOM.
grievances against Tammany Hall
Populists. The workingmen have not
forgotten Tammany's bunco games with
the million dollar appropriation for the
unemployed. most of which has gone
into the pockets of the rich employer
instead of the poor workingmen. The
