The wheeling Intelilseneer Of to-
day says;
The sweeping and comprehensive
answer made by Hon.w +. Hubbard
to the critics who have tried 10 make
it apepar that he was unSflendly to
the cause of labor, left no foot Or
ground for his assailants 10 stand on.
In his own addresses Tuesday night
Mr.. Hubbard took up these charges
one by one; and showed them 10 BE-
utterly bsseless.
The eight-hour Law oh MI Hub
bard is criticised for voting against
in 1881, was not sn eight;hour Nv for
government or ST. work. a law
aiming to limit inddnol snracla
and individual emp1yment IN Al

IN the mines
AS the Intelligencer heretofore
remarked, 1t is q pretty good man
whose opponents have 80 pacl
twenty-five years to find som ling on
which to base criticism But 10 the
light of truths these cFltieIsms are
quickly dissipated. Unferluuately for
Mr. Hubbari's opponent is not
necessary to go back twehtgtige years
TO find his record; nor s neeeFsasy
to distort the truth His FeeoFd- and
the record Of his party were written
in the calamitous times q 1892 and
1896, when suffering and van slalked
in the homes Of Thousands of worklns-
men. His record, and me record oi
his party. were written - the SOM
houses, warehouses; and pporhouses
from 1899 to 1896. HIS recotd and the
