A Car Load Of Literature to he Cir
cuIated at Chicago.

Chicago, June "a car load OF litera-
ture concerning the public career and the
speeches OF the Missouri advocate Of the
white metal was unioaded to-day and will
be at once put into circulation. There viii
be two Bland headquarters. one at the au-
ditorium annex and the other at the
Palmer house.
Naturally enough the headquarters OF
the bi-metalllc democratic national con-
Nention at the sherman house were the
chief center Of interest this morning and

said Mr.. Butler.
one OF the Incidents of the day was
conference Of c. A. Walsh secretary Of
the Iowa state central committee and a
delegate at large, with Grand Master
workman Sovereign OF the Knights OF
Labor in the formers room at the Pal
mer house. The meeting related to the
reported antagonism OF the knights and
other labor organizations towards Mr..
BOies on account of his public utterances
at the time Of the Pullman-A. r.. u.
strike. upholding the action of President
Cleveland In sending soldiers to Chicago.
The Boies' boomers are also said to be a
bit worried because they had heard of a
petition which was being signed by Chi
cago democrats, addressed 10 the county
central committees, urging them to take
up arms against Boies on that account
for the purpose of keeping the Illinois
delegation away from Iowa's candidate.
Neither party 10 the conference would
speak as to the result. But the Boies
men said everything was all right With
the labor people and Mr.. Walsh said.
There Is absolutely no truth in these
stories about trouble between Mr.. Boiea
and organized labor. They are silly and
unfounded. Mr.. Boies has been good
and consistent friend of labor, and he WIFI
have the unstinted support OF that eie-
ment."
