Will Not Join the c. l.. U. In
Conference.

The proposition recently advanced by
the Central Labor UniuE for general CON
ference Cr the main labor bodies received
a setback last night.
District Assembly No. Sc, X. Of L., at
its meeting by a decided vote declined to
meet the representatives or the Central
Labor Union in conference.
The meeting was well attended and the
discussion on the proposition OF the Cen
trail Labor Union for "a conference Of repre-
sentatives Of the central bodies, in the in-
tereSt OF harmony, was lengthy v and at times
spirited. 1t was intip.ated that the prop
rSition was not made in good faith, but
there were a few who favored the appoint
menl OF Il com mittee OF conference us re-
queStcd and hear the suggestions from the
other side. Those who held to this view of
the matter, however, were a small minor
ity.
The ma jorty We're opposed to the confer
euCe on general principles, and maintained
that under no circumstances could it result
in any good On the contrary. IL was the
expressed opinion that it would only result
in creating more discussion among organ
lied labor i'll the District. IL was stated
that II was known to be the Intention OF
the leaders in the movement on the other
side To attempt to create another central
body, supreme court, as it We're, to
which all matters concerning the interests
of organized labor should be submitted
for settlement. This plan of harnoniZinS
matters was objected TO on the ground that
there Were already too many central Bodies
i'll the city.
The motion to appoint committee of
conference was defeated by Il large ma jority
and the secretary was instructed TO notify
the Central Labor Union of the action OF
the assembly.
In his letter the secretary was instructed
to say that the principal objection or the
assembly to the confer nceisthatthe Central
Labor Union is made up i'll part or certain
ORGANIZATIONS which are composed OF mem
bcrs who have been dropped from other
organizations OF the several crafts in the
District.
District Assembly Sc, it was stated by
one Of the members after the meeting, Is
willing and ready to do all in its power
to harmonic local differences, but sees
no chance of doing SO under the existing
| cirC rCumstanceS.
Mr. W. ii. Il. Simmons, master workman
| of District Assembly Sc, X. of l., delegate
| to the general assembly of the X. of L.,
which convenes in Rochester, \. Y, next
| Tuesday, will leave this morning for THAT
CITY. Messrs Thomas O'pea and Steve A.

Fir. Bryan Sends Telegram of Con-
graduation to MIR. rIcKinIey.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-The first informa-
uon that senator Jones had conceded the
election of Mckinley was given to Mr..
Bryan at q o'clock this evening through
the medium Of United Associated Presses
bull etin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were out walking
when the bulletin was received. They had
been indoors all day and after supper
decided TO take a little exercise. Just S
the clock in the library of the defeated
candidates CoZy little home was striking
the hour, husband and wife returned.
Mr.. Talbot, MIR. Bryan's law partner,
who has just been elected to the NeDra ska
legislature on the Republican ticket, and
several new spapcr men were in The library
at the time. Mr.. Bryan read the bulletin
without showing any signs of feeling and
remarked as he finished:
I'm wait to hear from Senator Jones
before saying anything
Then he put on velvet house jacket, and
began chatting pleasantly with some per-
sonal friends who were with him in the
parlor. There was nothing of the pathetic
in the scene. Mr.. Bryan had not chung to
the hopes held out to him by some of
his enthusiastic followers and was prepared
for the news.
His wife. too, knew that nothing en-
couraging was to be expected. Her good
| nature came to the fore when she realized
that the strain was over. and laughed and
loked with those about her while Mr..
Bryan also chaffed the newspaper men
during the wait for the official message
The morning times., 1896-11-06

Harrison's administration. Mr.. Tanner
has been actively at work in the campaign
in the West, making speeches up until the
night preceding the election.
1t is not thought that Hon Mark Hanna
desires any office under Major Mckm-
ley IS administration 1t is said that lie is
willing To rest his reputation IS u Political
manager upon the results OF the recent
contest. Should he desire 80 go abroad
IL is probable that he could choose his
embassy.
FRANCIS MAY STAY.
II notice. said Republican last night,
"that The Evening Times suggests prob
ability of "a change in sentiment OH the part
of Mr.. Mckinley as TO his wellknown eX-
Cessive tariff views. You can take that
out of the probabilities. While it is true
that the victory was gained by the people
without the direct application of money,
the men who contributed the money will
not let Mr. Mckinley go back on til implied
contract that the Republican party shall
stand for What IT does at presenl stand, the
Mckinley Tariff.
There is something. however, in the sug-
geslion that the gold Democrats Will be
recognized. In fact IL has already been
recognized. | have ii pretty straight, not
from Mckinley but from some stalwart
friends that tins recognition is To be Sought
of the Interior
Il suppose You know that most of the
appointments in this department that are
worth anything are made with the approval
of the President. l think this is one ofthe
safest guesses OF the string. IL is natural
to presume that of all the men who have
been in the Cabinet of Mr.. Cleveland he,
should ne ask for an office, would ask for
the man who has been in office the least
time and who could scarcely be charged
to have been an opponent of the Republican
party for three or four years.
GOLD DEMoCRACY'S SHARE.
All the rest of the talk about Cabinet
officers appears To be mere guess work
| Including Alger and the host Of Others
| There does, however, seem to be some
reason for expecting a recognition Of either
| Maryland or Kentucky, even If the latter
| state does not show up majority. Nc
Kinley VIII undoubtedly seek reelection,
| and he VIII trim his sails for voyage into
the South to offset the doubt that always
| appears To hang over the close State OF
| Indiana.
The gold Democracy Will reasonably
expect recognition, not only in the Cabi
! ficeS. What they Will get il is reason
ably certain Will depend on the outcom,
! of the gold convention or conference which
| has been spoken Of. II this confcrcnc,
means the reorganization of a new Demo
| cratic party, from which the Republican,
| can expect nothing iii 1900, all the cor
| lectures as To what Mckinley will do il

almost as expensive. In the making OF the
set for the latter 1000 morocco skins were
used, besides magnificent gold work of
every description. The present khedive of

Canton, Ohio, Nov. 5.-Major Mckinley

library and Chatted with number OF
his friends
To the correspondent of the United
\ Associated Presses, who asked him TO what
he attributed the success Of the Repub-
iCans he said:
Il do nUI care TO be interview ed, but
Will say tnat | think the patriotic
thoughts oI men Of both old parties have
brought about the result. Ardent and de-
voted asnave been the efforts oIRepubNCans
everywhere, equally pronounced and help
ful was the attitude of the sound money

Then the press of the country, the IN

great journals Of both parties, have teen
a mighty factor in the result and aid to

Major Mckinley tonight 81 mt the following
telegram to Mark Hanna at New York:

We're most generous ana effective and Will
| receive the warm appreciation OF your
| countrym everywhere.
| Il will be pleased to have you convey
| to your associates OF the national committee
my high appreciation of their efficient ser

| ing party lines, have declared their de
| testation of reputation and diShOnor in
| whatever spccious guise they may be pre-
| seu,ed They have with the same might y

and uphold the constituted authorities oi

! .'They have indeed again consecrated
| themselves to country and baptized the
| cherished ordinances of free government
with new andholy patriotism Thevictory
| is not to party or section, but of and for
| the whole American people.
| Not the least of the triumphs Of the
| election is the obliteratiun OF sectional line:
| in the republic. We have demonstrated Il
the world that we are reunited people
| in purpose as in name. We have manifested
in the great cause the spirit of fraternity
| and brotherhood that should always char
| aCteriZe our common and equal citizenship
| and have proven cOnclusively that in
country of equal privileges and equal op
| pOrtunities the inSidious doctrine of hat
or of class or sectional distinction cannot
| prevail.
LET US as Americans straightway de
| vote ourselves to the upbuilding of America
to the peace, honor and glory of our com

the zeal or temper of either side deter an,
