BONSALL TALKS.
After Duffy had been placed in nomi-
nation by w. J. Foley, of East Pales-
tine, Charles f. Bonsall of Salem, one
of the leaders at the labor convention
in Alliance on August %, was taken to
the stage of the opera house and asked
for an expression. He said that he
spoke. not as member of the execu-
! tive committee of the labor party
but as a citizen of the Eighteenth dis
trict. He said that the purpose of the
Alliance convention was to determine
whether the time was ripe to place
labor candidate in the field. He spoke
very highly of Duffy and stated that
he was a clean man.
"It is now the time for union labor
to come to the front at the polls" he
said, "but | am perfectly willing that
Mr.. Duffy shall decide upon which
ticket his name shall appear. If you
won't agree to this, you'll have to name
somebody else and we will all vote fol
Duffy anyway"
Neither Mahoning nor Stark count!
brought forward any names for The
nomination, and Woolf, OF Mahoning
moved that the nomination be mad,
unanimous Duffy was then nominated
by acclamation.
THE WINDUP.
DR.. Schiller, of Columbiana, wanted
to amend the nominating motion to in
clude that the congressional commit
tee be empowered to till the vacanc,
in case Duffy decided to go on the labo
ticket
Mr.. Rice ruled that If Duffy accepts
the Democratic nomination his nam
must go on the Democratic ticket ant
that the amendment was out of order
After the nomination. Foley wanted {,
have resolution adopted giving Duff.
ten days to decide upon what ticke
his name shall appear. s. l.. Clark, o
Youngstown, claimed that Duffy had
right to withhold his decision unit
the day the ticket is made up and tina
the convention could not curtail thi
privilege He asked that the matter b.
left at the present status for future de
termination. Foley then withdrew hi
motion.
1t was decided before the convention
adjourned that the congressional com
mittee be empowered to fill any vacan
cy in the ticket which may in an,
way occur.
