many members or the w eStefn red
Grafton of Miners expressed themselves
as repudiating the expressions of Pres
ident Boyce, reported in The Herald
of yesterday, in which he urged the
members to get new rifles Of latest
improved makes and boycott all mem
bers of the National Guard and those
who employ them.
eff Boyce thinks they are the senti-
ments of the membership, he is mis-
TAKEN said one of the miners to a
reporter yesterday afternoon. I'VE are
not anxious to go on record as LOT
of bowling anarchists, with an insatl-
ate desire for blood. We want TO
achieve our ends by peaceable means;
not by bullets. He has done more 10
hurt US in this matter than we will re-
cover from in ten years. Boyce is a
good fellow but he goes off half cooked
many times. That portion of his ad-
dress will be repudiated.''
THEY DON'T LIKE IT.
Laboring men; that is members of
labor unions in this city, deprecate the
untimeFy expressions INDUCED in. They
claim it will do the cause OF labor IN
the west an irreparable injury. Boyce
was told by one of the members OF the
state board Of labor, to whom he
showed the address ere it was printed,
that he should expunge that matter
from it, but he declined. You will
hurt all of us" said his friend. but
Boyce adhered to his original inten-
tons and has gone on record as being
either a man who wants to ride over
all law and authority, or else IS the
most intense kind of ass VINO ever pre-
sided over an organization of men,

murderers, as he calls them. did not
manifest the bitterness which might
have been expected. Most of them are
workingmen themselves: many are
members of unions and have a sym
pathy with those who toll. They were
chiefly disposed to regard the state
ments as being similar to those which
would come from a freak and not The
dispassionate statements of a man who
has the welfare of his fellows at heart.
There wasn't any more activity at the
armory than usual; neither did any
member grind his sword or clean his
rifle. True one company drilled last
night, it being the regular night for
that work, but that was all the excite
ment noted.
THIS GOES WITH BOYCE'S SPEECH
The rife market yesterday in the
east was steady and the statements
made had apparently but little effect.

DEBS WILL SPEAK.
1t is expected that Debs will make
a speech at the meeting of the fedora
ton this morning, which will be de-
livered behind closed doors. What he
says will no doubt never reach the
public, save in a disjointed way, but it
is believed the labor leader will not
advocate any such stringent measures
as were suggested by Boyce.
The members of the federation are
disappointed in the way Boyce has act
ed because they believe it will prejudice
the community against them. They
like this city for a meeting point, be-
cause it is central and they can get
here cheaper than to hold their sessions
at some place farther east or west. The
debate on the matter of the presidents
address would make interesting reading
for the people
