sour Gene" Misrepresented.


The Coming Nation says:
The daily newspapers have
quite industriously circulated
a dispatch dated "Birmingham,
Ala, May H." purporting to
give an interview with Eugene
V. Debs, and representing him
as saying that "Politics and
labor are two different insti-
tutions; the two don't go we'll
together and will not give up
labor for politics." Of course
some of the intellectual cox
combs who prostitute their
calling in the interest of their
capitalistic paymasters, have
commended Mr.. Debs for his
"sensible attitude," and when

TER RE HAUTE, Ind, June 8, 1896.
Editor The Coming Nation.
Dear Brother:-Referrin to the
Birmingham interview. [ am not
correctly quoted. I used no lam
guage such as is credited to me in
the line marked by your cores
pendent. The American Railway
Union stands committed to the
peoples party by unanimous
vote of it's delegates in convention
assembled. This being the case,
you will perceive how absurd and
mendaciOus [ would be to make
such a statement as is contained in
the enclosed interview. [ am not
not only in favor of organized labor
going actively into politics, but I
have urged such action in all my
addresses during the past two
years. Indeed the action Of our
convention in this matter was taken
upon my recommendation What
I did say was, that l was an official
of labor organization and as such
Icould not be candidate for pub
lie office. I have always been op-
posed to self-seekers, and in order
to keep myselffree from even a sus-
picion Of being one myself / have
resOlutely set my face against
holding public office. There are
special reasons in my own case
why this should be so. / am will
ing to serve the cause of labor in
any way in my power, but cannot
see what good would come either
to the cause or to myself by accept
ing a nomination to public office.
/ prefer to do what little | can in
my own way untrammeled by what
would be certain to be construed as
personal political aspiration. You
are at liberty to use this cOmmuni
cation in any way you may see fit.
I should say in this connection that
I am often placed at disadvantage
by being Incorrectly quoted in
press interviews and alleged inter-
views. am not infrequently made
to say what I never said or thought
of saying. The Birmingham inter-
view has appeared in various forms
and has undergone various changes
to suit the purposes of those who
have an OBJ ject in having me ap-
pear in a false and self-cOvtradic-
tory light before the public.
With best wishes, believe me al
ways, Yours fraternally,
EUGENE V. DEBS.

Congressman Charles A. Towne.
The Labor World this week
presents to it's readers a very
pleasant likeness of Hon.
Charles A. Towne, congress-
man from this district; and in
doing so takes occasion to COM
mend him for the admirable
record he has made during his
brief term. This district was
never so we'll represented, and
never was there so many ap-
preparations received for it.
Although this was his first
term in congress, and a COM
parative young man, his abil-
tiles were soon recognized, and
he was placed on many import
ant committees, besides taking
an active part in every import
ant subj ect that was brought
before that body. He has con-
victions of his own, and he adj
hered strictly to them, refusing
to follow any leader or be die
tated to by any combination.
No man stands higher or has
more admirers than Mr.. Towne.
He has always been a republic
can. was elected on a platform
which declared for bimetalisn1,
and when his party, manipu-
lated by an avaricious lot of
gold bug mil1ionaires, declared
for the single gold standard Mr..
Towne realized that he could
not sacrifice his convictions and
withdrew from the party. He
will be a candidate for re-elec-
ton this fall on a free silver
ticket and his election is un-
doubtedly assured.

Wrong Name When Arrested.
The State Journal has received a let
ter from Walton. kan, denying that
Jacob Diffenbaugh Of that place was
the man who had drawn his pension in
Topeka Monday forenoon and been ar
rested by the police.
The Journal has already made rhe
correction and given the right name Of
the man arrested, which was Hedder-
man.
The mistake was made at the sta
ton. Sergeant Ellison says that when
Hedderman was taken in he was too
intoxicated to tell his name On his
person was found two pension papers,
one in the name Of Hedderman and the
other in the name of Diftenbaugh.
Ellison asked him if his name was
Diffenbaugh, and Hedderman was
intoxicated enough to say it was, and
he was booked that way.
