Pennsylvania papers say that John
Mitchell, of the mi,leworkers' unions,
performed heroic service in pulling
through at least two OF the republican
candidates for CONGRESS-. 1t is prob
able that Patterson might have been
defeated and there was considerable
doubt about Dale. Mitchell visited
both districts shortly before the cleo
tiol and privately assured the repub-
lican leaders that he had passed the
word among the miners to stand by
the republican candidates. AS long
as the labor union leaders use their
influence to elect trust and corpora
ton candidates to congress, there is
no use of wasting any sympathy when
they get thrown into jail without trial
under government by injunction, or
are forced to work for starvation
wages. The Independent proposes to
let Parry have his way with them un-
til they get some sense into their

OF this deal consider the nomination

To hide the real candidate. and. at
the same time. to kill OF the strongest
competitor. Cleveland, 50 the story
goes, shrewdly turned the wrath OF
both Bryan and Hearst, and the op-
position OF other aspirants. against
Judge Parker by openly indorsing
him. After doing so. the New Jersey
delegation, which Cleveland admitted
ly controls, was prevented from being
instructed for Parker. that IL might
be- delivered to Gray. Senator
Smith. of that delegation. was in Will
mington recently arranging with the
Gray men for turning over these votes
at the proper time. Leader Murphy,
Of Tammany Hall. continually talks
Cleveland, but has lauded Gray, un-
der cover of mentioning him as a can
didate for vice-president. Mr.. Mar
vel was in New York a few days ago.
and since his return it is reported here
that Bourke Cochran, OF the Tamma-
ny delegation, has agreed TO make a
speech in of Judge Gray at the
national convention, although forced
by the unit rule Instructions to vote
for Parker. This movement Is under
started Immediately after Cleveland's
interview favoring Parker. TO send as
many uninstructed delegates as pos
sible to the convention.
In his interview, published in The
Washington Post Of May 80, Mr..
Cleveland. while apparently predict
ing the nomination of Parker, used
these words: I'm reiterating it at this
time. when there seems TO be a lull n
the Parker movement. I do not intend
to yield my original Judgment. which
was that either Mr.. Olney or Judge
Gray might have proved the strongest
candidate for the Democracy to name
for the contest with Mr.. Roosevelt"
This is considered by the friends OF
Gray to ave been killing with faint
praise" the Parker boom and h
launching of a boom for Gray, his
real candidate.
The fact that Judge Gray was for
years identified with the Pennsylvania
railroad as its counsel IL. according
to those who have faith I'm the theory
outlined. relied upon to attract Wall
street to his support, while his ap-
pointment by President Roosevelt on
the coal strike commission Is expect
