business, was somewhat of surprise,
as it was not known to be involved in

members, who signed the firms name
to number of fifteen-day privileges in
Sugar at 81, pocketing the proceeds OF
his sale of privileges, and then, when
the market jumped up on him, leaving
the firm, which knew nothing of his
operations. to redeem their paper. After
paying out some $4,000 the firm made
an assignment, not knowing how many
more privileges were outstanding. Had

victim with the subtlety of robber, not only
rendering him helpless, but inflictng the most

POPULISTS AND UNION MEN.
Joint Political Conference to he
Held Tonight.

The joint Conference of the Popu-
lists and the Central Labor Union will
be held tonight at Clarendon Hall. The
outcome will have an important bearing
on the campaign. Both the Populists
and the managers OF the Citizens move

ingmen.
The Populists propose to name city
and State ticket independent of any COM
bination 1t is a question for the work
ingmen to decide whether they want to
support Populistic principles at this time
or vote for better local government
Tammany Is giving secret support to
the Populist scheme. Tammanys object
Is to prevent union OF forces. The
Wigwam leaders know that every vote
cast for a union candidate counts against
them. Their purpose. therefore, Is to d.
vide the votes of the opposition among
as many side issues as possible.
The Popullsts apparently do not count
on wholesale additions to their ranks,
whatever the decision of the working
men may be. In any event they expect
to remain In control of the campaign and
adopt platform of their own. With
that end In view they have elected dele
gates from this city to the State Conven-
ton at Sara toga, Sept. II and ~, all of
whom are pronounced Populists and who
will not subscribe to any principles not
laid down In the Ocala platform. These
are the delegates.
