Ticket was the first speaker. The gist Of
bis remarks was an explanation Of
the accusation that the ticket is being
run by Republican money to defeat the
Democratic party. He said that before
the organization at Union Park, Labor
Day, there was certain member OF the
Republican party who gave to one or
more of the present members of the
Peoples party, money to organize an in
dependent movement in local labor circles,
but be denied, so far as he knew, that one
cent had been received since the naming
of the ticket. Three or four menlin their
zeal for the cause of labor reform had taken
money from Republican sources, but as
none of the candidates had anything TO do
with the starting of the Independent
labor movement, they had no reason to
desert the party. He urged voters to
help the movement by rolling up a good
vote In November
Alexander Fulton was the next
speaker He explained the cause OF the
financial depression, advocated the
monetization of silver and scored the
Republican orators for claiming that to
the Wilson bill the hard times are due.
DR.. j. B Welch was the next speaker
and the solving Of the great financial
problem was also his self imposed talk
His remarks were made at length and
lasted we'll on to the midnight. When

A Big REPUBLICAN SCHEME.
BACH GAVE MONEY TO THE lNDE-
PENDENT LABOR MOVEMENT.

He Sent $50 TO Foster and Promised Him
$50 More-Requested Him to oan at
His House aud Have Conference n He
Thought It Safe.
It transplres that the independent
labor movement which eliminated In
placing the Peoples party ticket in the
field had its origin in Corruption Hall,
and was designed by Senator Higgins
and Chairman Bach to draw from the
Democratic rEnks any dissatisfied
>workingmen. Last spring a man by the
name Of Millhall, who represented him
self to be q Philadelphia drummer,
called upon Alonzo Foster, president Of
the Cigarmakers' Union and proposed
that an independent political club be
formed. Foster acted upon the sug-
gestion and formed it, and 1t became a
branch Of the Independent Labor move
ment, which resulted in the Union Park
convention The organization there
changed its name to the Peoples party,
and put ticket in the field.
Since then Foster has admitted that
Chairman Bach sent him 500, and letter
apologizing for the smsllness Of tae
rerlittsnce He promised, however, to
send him $50 more 10 further the move
ment. Another letter received from
Bach requested Foster to call at Bach's
house for conference II he "thought it
safe The Republican committee also
paid for the printing done for the organi.
zRtion. The exposure OF these dealings
is what led to the withdrawal of several
candidates, and will doubtless result in
the disintegration of the party.
