Detroit, Mich, July 2.-Governor Pin
gree tonight dispatched letter to Sec
rotary Alger, brought out by criticisms Of
the secretary and the numerous comments
recently published concerning the agree
ment made by the governor to support
Secretary Alger in his campaign for the
United States senate. Governor Pingree
denies the authenticity of published in
terview with him concerning the National
administration and says that he will sup
port Mckinley If he is candidate and ex-
presses the opinion that the New York
newspaper attacks on the war department
are In pursuance of plot to create
cabinet Vacancy to be- filled by a New
York politician.
In conclusion he says: after all, 1t is
well TO remember that newspaper rep
resents the opinion of only one man and
that opinion Is usually influenced by every
motive except desire to do full Justice
The time is not far distant when the peo-
pie will awaken to this fact, and when they
do there will be a radical change in the
policy of conducting the newspapers of the
country and especially in their treatment
OF public men,"

conclusion any movement undertaken. An
organization known as the Packing House

men became members. The avowed pur-
pose of the union is to fight the packers
and it was said openly at the meeting that
by September the union is expected to
have a membership of $1,000, and then If
the demands of the men for better work
ing hours and increased wages are not
complied with a general tie-up of the
packing houses would be ordered. The
names of the officers of the new organiza-
ton were kept secret
