man and Sielclsen of New York
 The affiant rcontradicts the arguments of counsel for the defendants that the coffee now under injunction had not been purchased in this country and therefore could not be considered as a part of the trade and commerce of the United States.

 You will find next Tuesday lot of names on your ballot with nothing opposite them. They are said to be uninstructed. but if they go to the convention do you suppose they will go uninstructed? It means you are not to instruct them. The men who are not their own masters are tle men who are privately instructed."
