tweaty-six black counties pile up ma
iOrity larger than the voting population
Of the counties which elected their
ticket
"Of course they claimed the election
from the start, just as they are doing
now and just az they stole the
state then, they hope TO steal
1t now. When Manning of Alabama

were onto the Democratic way of doing
things and the next time. he prophesied,
they would. if necessary hold their re-
turns back just as long a. the Democrats

CLEVELAND, May 1z-The wage scale
for puddIers and helpers was taken up
today by the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers convention,
but very little progress was made. The
delegates positively refuse to say
what the scale will be, or how
soon it will be completed, but
from words dropped by some Of the
members the inference is that the con-
vention will be in shape to adjourn Fri
day night or Saturday morning.
During the morning session Mr.. Chris
tian Evans, of New York, secretary OF the
federation of labor, came into the hall.
He was invited to address the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Evans spoke of the warm feeling
existing between the amalgamated asso-
citation and the federation of labor as a
precursor of a still closer union in the
future and the consequent strengthening
of labor interests.
President Garland responded voicing
the sentiments of Mr.. Evans and ex-
pressing bright hopes for the future of

Capt. Waters Convinced That Nothing

Captain Joseph G. Waters. one of the
attorneys who defended General San
ders and his followers before Commis-
sioner Wagener at Leavenworth said to
a JOURNAL reporter today:
81 did my level best to get all of the
men bound over. l found the
leaders were pretty sure to be
bound over and it would have
been unwise to Iets that large body
of men go about the country unorgan-
lied and without any leaders to look to
for guidance and carry orders into eff
feet Besides. if one man is guilty they
all are, and am sure they can't convict
451 men of obstructing the mail.
''The stealing of train was inexcusa-
ble- l do not defend that But that
has nothing to do with this case.
They are charged with obstructing
the United States mails l claim they
did not One of the trainmen testified
that he stopped mail train when San
him. say that is the trainman's fault
and not Sanders. That testimony was
foolishness.
81 am convinced that Sanders is going
to Washington. He is determined to go,
and he will go. No matter what has
happened OF what may happen, he will
go to the capital, and his men are just de-
termined enough to stay by him. He is a
convert of Senator Ingalls, cheap water
transportation idea, and he expects to
take the men clear from Kansas City to
Pennsylvania by water, and he won't
have to steal a raft, either.
81 found that Marshal Nicely was
treating the prisoners at Leavenworth
like Christians. They are camped on a
hill, where the scenery IS magnificent,
the grass is green, the air is pure and
the weather is nice l suppose
they get all they want to eat The men
are given all the liberties in going in
and out of camp that they could desire,
and the marshal tells me they will con-
tinue to have liberties so long they
don't abuse them.

hear the cases, which l very much
