Tho above arc the Identical words lined by Mr. ItlcKclghnn In Ills speech when nominated. D'PRICES Died in Million of Hornet 40 Yetrt the Stand trd. Educational Department. D. Hi. HUNTER, Editor. Tho independent convention at Cowlcs was anything but harmonious, and altogether unsatisfactory. With tho republican ticket wo beliovo wo can sooop tho whole outGt in Novem ber. Two years of folly is enough for ono county to go through with. Let's hayo gtid, clean, honest and intelli gent men for office. Tho West Point cadctship is a thorne in tho Bido of our windy-pond-cnt candidato for congress. The thorno is not likely to bo drawn out until it has killed tho fellow who run into it without thinking of the result, Tho idea of n banker's rclativo being, picked out from among a wholo lot of intelligent farmer boys who ought to havo had tho position, but were kept out by a big fee charged for that pur poso by somo ono. Tho independent crowd oyer tho stato are having a regular pow-wow in thoir camp, They all want office and how in tho mischief to got it is a question of groat import to them. Just now their' papers of stato rcputo aro pounding that wtloy old gcntlo man 0 known ns Crazyhorac, (Van Wy'ck) and also many other innocent looking individuals who failed to got oflico and then joined tho Windy pondonts to gain their point. Van Wyck wants to bo govornor, but what hurts him is that a wholo lot of his ilk want tho samo office, and nil of them nro in tho samo party. How pleasant, &o., it is to dwoll in unity, jou know. , With 09 good a show ad tho repub licans havo, this year to elect their men, it will bo thoir own fault if they do not do so. Tho independents havo ratd6 fatal mistakes from Weaver down to county -attorney, and tho re publicans tjhould profit by it. The CniEr is absolutely certain that with Hon: W. R: Andrews of IlastiugB, re publican candidate for congress, wo nan win tho congressional raco over Mr. McKcighan, simply by stickiog together. Tho independent candidato has done nothing in congress that could recommend him to bis constitu ency, and has absolutely failed to do many things that ho promised during his campaign, if tho pooplo would eloot him. In Mr. Androws, wo havo a clean, honorablo nnd intelligent gentleman who is qualified to dUouss all of tho important questions of tho day, and if ho is sent to congrosH ho will bo ablo to bouimund attention what tho publio needs in men who have sonic intelligent ideas uud who a'ro prepared to nprcad them beforo tliu people. DctimgogiBm is all well enough in its place, but it should not bo displayed in tho halls of congress, Mr. Andrews' opponent is a man of just ono idea and that in froo trade, and tho rest of hia ability is wound up in demugoguo oratory that in used to win votes. Of what bonofit lia Mr. Molveighan been to the district? Will somo ono answer.? Wages at Homestead, Tho Democratic House sent a commit tee to Homoetond with the hops of mak ing n showing of distress and poverty among tho laborors in protected indus tries. Thoy hoped to enow that work mon in protected industries set no bene fit from ft protective tariff. Hut they will not show that. What thoy found was workmon Rotting from $1.10 n day (tho lowest rate, and Hint only to n few) up to as high as $10 per day. Thero wore men ofTerd 91,000 fcj.COO, $3,000 and oven $5,000 por annum and working about 270 days in the year nnd vet thoy had learned to feel and be liovo, undor the experience of n protec tive torili, that thoy ought 10 nave more. No wonder Congressman Dynura. Demo crat, of Indiana, and a member of the committee inquired with some show of onuerness whether thoro was a chance for him to eocuro n position in the works. Whon Hugh O'Donnell, tho loader of the strikers, was on the stand, Mr. Boat ner, (Democrat, of Loaisana) asked him: "You nro ono of tho skilled workmen, nro you not V "Yes, Bir," "About what wore your wagos ?" About $144 por month." .Tnhn MoLukfo. n mombor of tho Am algamated Association and a burgess of Homestead, complained to tho commit too that tho McKinloy law reduced the tariff on stool billots, nnd that wages, theroforo, began to go down with the price ot steel billets otter its puBsnge. Ho ndvnnced the Bomewhnt extraordin ary opinion that tho securing of the re duction of tariff on stool billets was nnrt of n conspiracy to reduce the wages ot workingraen. Ho also charged that the company "shortly converieu me Duquenco works into a bdlet plant, in creased the production, iloodod the oonn try no that prices may bo reduced, and thus affect our wages. The Duouesne ....lnnAK Ihvim nmmtnf tf ltlllnta V IHUUUVm 1U1KU W"uuu. w w...... This would soom to account better for the reduction in price ot steel billots limn Ilia removal of the tariff. ltepreeentatlvo Oates, of Alabama, the Domocratio chairman of tho Democratic committee ot investigation, was inter viewed after he returned from Homestead nnil Rnicl: "That tho workmon nt Homestead were far above tho averngo in intelli gence and seemed to be fairly prosper ous, living in good, comfortable, houses. Tin nnw none of tho novertv common in great manufacturing centera. Many of the men, particularly tue SKiuea worn- n. mnue goou wages, some oi mem ns lijgn ns t6 por monin. umen maue only $50 per month. The common labor ers earned from $1 to $1.50 n day. "An Mr. Friok had positively tieoiined to discloso to tho committee the cost per tonot producing stool billets nt the llomestend mills. Mr. Oates could not Bay whether tho contontion of the men that mo company was mnsing n grew, deal of monoy at the present pricea was trno or not Ik was satisfied, however. that the allegation of tho men that the company had purposely produced an ovorstook of etoel billets in order to re dune tho scale ot wages of the workman was UBtruo." Ulatant domogoguea have spread many lying report ot the misery, pover ty nnd degradation of the workmen at Hi Tha result of tho Cowles convention of tho independent' party, is having a desultory cfloct upon tho members of that 'organization. Austin Riloy, while ho may bo ull right ay a man, in not fitted for a lcgislatjvo candidate and is absolutely valueless as u legis lator representing a county us impor tant as Webster, nnd'his own party does not generally endorso him. His record in the last legislature is blank, and bo it will bo again.- Harry Hopkins, tho -aojninco fdr county attorney, is a bitter pill to tho lomoatead, and Democratic politicians have boon quicn to take up tows reports and glorv in them as showing tha Mlam ityof n proteotwe tariff. Bat the day has gone by when lies of this soit can befool the people. The country is not prepared to judge finally on the meriUof tho striken' quarrel ot HomMtead. But that the wages they have been getting And tho wages they ore offered are suoh a would leavo them in the belploM and poorly condition ot Inboring men in Eu ropo and Oraat Britian is proved not to bo truo out of tho mouths of the strik ers and the Deiuoaratd themselves. ,.......M..............iMyM--l What They Say.
