sired by All.

employment anu 1OOu money arc Do-
sircd by All.
There were railroad men on all sides
Of Mai. Mckinley when he began his
fourteenth address. One party repre-
scented the Michigan Central. Another
came from Columbus, o., and represent
ed the Pennsylvania lines entering that
city. Still another party represented the
Erie employees Of Cleveland. To all
these Maj Mckinley said:
There is not q workingman In this
audience who would not rather work for
n good road than poor road; and there
Is not an employe In this great audience
that would not rather be paid In good
money than poor money. (Applause) !.
"What you want .irst and above al!
else is employment. What you want Is
10 get on the pay roll of n good railroad
company, for you have TO get on the pay
roll before you can get anything out Of
the pay car, 10 which my friend has al
luded. Great cheering) But in order
10 get on the pay roll the railroads must
have business. You know when bust
ness Is poor with the railroads some of
you arc stricken from the pay roll.

perenced that in the last three years and

would not furnish employment for one

earn their living by toll.

condition of the party in the state and
especially since the disgruutled ones
left the party. The local members of
the committee consists of Mr.. Babcock,
Rev. D. N. Griffin and E. c. Mansfield
of West Haven.
I'VE did not lose many of our mem
bers through the secession of the dis
affected ones" said Mr.. Babcock to a
reporter. I'VE are better off now that
they are gone. They joined the So
called national or silver party, which
takes in all the political schisms. AS 1
said, our losses here in Connecticut
were small. There were some losses in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire, but
in Connecticut and Rhode Island the
party stands practically solid for the
one idea we espoused, prohibition
'How big a vote do you expect to
poll in this state in the fall?" was
asked.
"Our last poll was between $500
and 2400, and we expect to consid-
erably increase it, as the party is in
splendid shape. We shall nominate
state and congressional candidates"
