actually desired TO nominate in that district
would be debarred from Il place on the ticket.
1t was said last night at the headquarters of
the Alliance that an effort would be made in
the Central Labor Union to-day to secure an ex-

tribution OF 800. saying that he was greatly
interested in the cause OF true Democracy and
admired them for the stand which they had
taken. He said he believed tho National

Democracy. lie added further that when he re.
turned home he would do all he could to get
Western Democrats TO come here and take part
in the campaign for Mr.. George. Moses Opben-
