To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-S,r: ApLd the hustle
and hustle of the closing days ot this monentous
struggle. the men who claim t. b" good Republicans
should pause for 1--WE minutes and give thought TO
som facts, and I feel confident that many OF them
who intend TO vote for Seth Low On next Tuesday
will change their plans aud cast II ballot for the Re
publican candidates under the leadership of Gen.
Bentamin +. Tray.
one year ago the people Of this State supported tho
Republican party, OF which Mr.. Plat vas then the
leader. to such all extent that its candidatcSr received
the largest maJ0rities ever given to tn" candidates OF
any party. What has either Mr.. IIatt or tho Repub-
lican party done in that short FIN" TO merit the de-
sertion OF any Republican? Nothing. absolutely
nothing.
Republicans, remember III 1t your party has always
been Identified with reforms and Instrumental in
enecting reforms.
Do not forget that ono year from now we must
elect members Of Congress. 10 not forget that three
years from now we must 20 through the same ordeal
rs last year. probably even SrNerer.
DO not forget that the prestige OF the officials Of
the greater city will be OF immense weight. which
ever side It is thrown to. We need and must have
that prestige. II we can win 1t fairly.
DO not forget that Seth Low is a worsh!p2er OF
Grover Cleveland and his rrcc"pts. Remember that
his non'support of Blaine in 1854 was the cause OF
the party's defeat.
In 1883 and 1899 he voted for Cleveland, and he
will use every influence against the Republican party
hereafter. H0 Is an autocrat OF the irst water.
In 1900. as in 1879. the elements u order. good
government, and sound money Will look To the Re-
publican party to champion their cause against
anarchy, socialism. free silver. Sc. 10 not aid in
Gripping the Grand Old Party OF Lincoln, Grant. and
Garfield by a vote for the idol OF Mugwumps and dis
gruntlcd Republicans.
Vote for the candidate who will be responsible to
his constituents AMI an honor and ornament to his
party. Gen. Benjamin +. Tracy. X. b. PADDOCK.

VIENNA, Oct. 2s.-on Wednesday tho Gov.
eminent arranged for two sittings Of the Reichs.
rath daily, the morning session to be devoted
to the discussion of the remaining motions to
impeach Primo Minister Badeni, and the oven
ing sessions to consideration OF tho bill pro.
visionally extending the Austro-Hungarian
compromise. Tho Governments object was to
confne the obstructive tactics of the Opposi.
ton to tho morning sessions, and thus enable
progress to be made on Government measures
during the evenings.
Tho step incensed tho minority, who con-
tend that it violates the Constitution. There.
fore the first evening session, which was held
tonight. was made the occasion for q renewal
Of the scenes which have previously disgraced
the House. the Opposition members yelling at
the top OF their voices, and drumming violently
upon their desks. The uproar was 30 great that
Vice-President A~brahamovicz, who was occu-
plying tho chair. was compelled temporarily to
suspend the session.
After the resumption Of business Herr Lecher
began to mako a speech on the Compromise
bill, whereupon the notorious noisemonger,
Herr Wolff, who recently fought q duel with
Prime Minister Badeni, insisted upon the putting
OF a motion declaring the session closed. Find
ing himself ignored. he hammered upon his
desk for ninety minutes, incidentally ejaculat-
ing taunts against Herr Abrahamovicz and the
Government. Then. rising. he detained a
speech at the top Of his voice in order to drown
the words of Herr Lccher. who continued his
speech amid all tho hubbub. and then he loudly
read an irrelevant essay. Finally a compro-
mise was effected. and Herr Lechcr was allowed
to continue his speech without interruption.
The sitting is likely to last until tomorrow

EEeLAND,s LABOR DISPUTE.
Reply or the Employers and Men to the Pro-
pesal for n Conference.
Special cabls Despatch to Tnx sur.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUE.
LoNpoN, Oct. 2s.-The Employers Federation
to-day replied to the proposals made on behalf
OF the Government by Mr.. {. T. Richie, Presi-
dent OF the Board of Trade, looking to the end
ing OF the strike in tho engineering trades.
The federation maintains that tho basis for a
settlement proposed by the Board OF Trade
leaves the relations between the employers and
worRmen the same as they were before the
stoppage Of work, and that. therefore. there
would DO a likelihood of further troubles. Tho
rear Is expressed that, despite the first proviso Of
the Board OF Trades proposals, which, whilo
disavowing any intention on tho part Of the En-
ployers' Federation OF interfering with tho
legitimate action of tho trades unions, declares
that the employers will admit no right OF inter-
ference with their business. the employers will
be exposed to arbitrary restrictions and irritat-
ing interference in their working arrangements,
which restrictions the leaders OF tho unions
hnvot threatened to increase in tho future.
These restrictions. 1t is added. have so increased
the cost OF production that important engineer
Ing work has been placed in foreign hands, and
British competitors have been undorbidden
even for machinery plant for use in Great
Britain.
The federation says It Is willing to take part
In a conference to discuss the removal Of these
restrictions and to extend to all engineering
works tho equitable arrangements existing in
many OF them heretofore.
Tho reply Of tho Am~alganated Society Of
Engineers to tho Board Of Trades proposals
expresses tho wish that before q conference
shall be held a definition be given OF what is
meant by interference with the employers bust
ness. 1t adds that the engineers only wish to
secure just terms for labor. Subject to other
safeguards, the men are willing to enter into a
Liscussion of tho preliminaries of n conferonce.
Both replies avoid tho kernel Of the dispute.
and each side seeks to cast upon the other tho
odium for a rejection Of mediation. 1t remains
with the Board OF Trade to say whether 1t can
proceed on the above basis with its efforts to
end the struggle.
The consensus Of opinion 10 that there is little
hope Of a conference being held. this belief being
based on tho attitude Of both sides a. displayed
in their replies.
