The New York World says:

Where, oh where. is Gus GiIhaUs2
There is much Iamenting among
the members of the Socialist Labor
party over the disappearance of the
only Gus, whom the Socialists have
nominated as their proxy candidate
for president of the United States.
The Socialists made no such mis-
take when they nominated Martin r.
Preston in the first instance. They
knew they had him safe under lock
and key, being under a sentence of
twenty years for killing man, and for
mally rendered him the nomination in
the Nevada state prison.
But Preston, being unable to go on
the stump. had requested that proxy
candidate be named to tour the cOun-
try for him, and so Gus" was named
on ticket which reads thus:
For President.
AUGUST GILLHAUS.
Engineer. New York. as proxy for
MARTIN b PRESTON
CNow in the Nevada State PenitentiaTy
for the legitimate exercise of the right OF
seIf-defense while on picket duty. and
whom delicscy prevents from personally
appearing on the baIIotD
DONALD l. MUNRO.
MaChinist. Virginia
But the Socialists who gathered
last night at the various east side
their proxy candidate, Gus, could be
found, but there was no one to tell
them Even Daniel De Leon leader
of the party, didn't know. From in
formation gathered from De Leon and
other friends of Gus's this notice is
timely

We knew where We could lay our
hands on Preston when we nominated
him. said Dietrich HimmeIsmith, but
where is our Gus2 / don't believe that
he also has given us the slip.
'Of course, should the Socialist
ticket be elected, Gus will take his
seat in the White House, but his first
act will be to pardon Preston and
name him as MS secretary of state.
Between the two they will give the
people a government to ne proud of.
There will be no trusts and no million
aires The Socialists will let the
workingmen run the factories, the rail-
roads and everything else and divide
the profits equally. There will be no
such thing as wages, every one being
his own employer"
The Socialist LabOrites made public
yesterday the resolution naming Gill
haUs as Preston's proxy. They also
gave out this statement:
by appointing Gillhaus Preston's
proxy the campaign launched by the
Socialist Labor party continues en-
phatically unaffected.
The ticket virtually remains IN
changed, Preston and Munro, only
Gillhaus is Preston's proxy.
The slogan of which Preston is to-
day the incarnation, No pickeung. no
union. no Socialist republic, remains
the slogan to which the party sum-
mons the pTOletariat of the land, to-
getheT W all other intelligent citf-
Zens, to cast their manhood ballots
next election day"
