The KcpnMlcnn State Convention , LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. 5. [ Special Telenram to the BEI : . | The preliminaries to the re publican convention of to-night were of an exciting character. The strenuous ef forts to defeat Judge Maxwell that had been fostered and fed by the railroads blossomed In the lobbies to-day , and In the crowds that surged through the corridors of the hotels. The railroads always make a light when they see honest men on thu bench beyond their control , and hence their bold and bare-faced assault upon Judge Maxwell. The Douglas county delegation arrived on the noon train and repaired to the Capital hotel. The usual complement of oil room bummers were numetous hangers-on with the strips of red pasteboard which passed them to the Capital City. The fat and greasy Vandervoort , the rablclund Frank Walters and like cappers who have disgraced the state at every Bosslon ot the legislature wore present. Van dervoort , who hoped to get a scat by proxy In the convention , received a black eye trom the delegation that in caucus determined that the alternates sould bo seated. Lancas ter countv met early In the afternoon and was solid for Judge Maxwell , Matt Daugherty called thu Saline delegation to caucus and It was found on the same field. Other counties occupied the early ovnulng hours In conversing on what action they i viould take. The different candidates passed * the day in the most active canvass , with the exception of Judge Maxwell , who presided In the supreme court content to rest tils case with the public. George S. Smith , of the Omaha delegation , opened Maxwell head quarters at the Capitol hotel , however , and Mr. Rosewater , Mr. Jenkins and others of the , Douglas delegation were actively at work. Congressman Dorsey with the judge's home delegation weie ac tive and General Van Wyck. who as a priv ate citizen came to the convention at the head of the Otoo county delegation , was a hearty supporter of Jink-o Maxwell. From northern Nebraska N. D.Jackson , ot Nellich , with the Antelope county delegation was In the Held for the judze. Corrcll came with the Thayer county delegation while Pawnee , Fillmore , Washington and oilier counties were counted on for like support. Senator Meiklejohn , of Nance , headed the workers for Judge Post who was backed by a large number of county delegations in Judge Post's district. Adams county boomed , tor General Dllworth , backed apparently , by the solid Republican valley country and a num erous following In the north. The Gage delegation was divided. In fact "it looked" as one of the delegates expressed it , "as though that countv was to have a picnic throughout the conven tion. " Church Howe was noticeable for Ills absence and the absence of the Nemaha man from a political convention was commented upon. Some suggested that he had exhausted himself at the judicial convention the day before. Senator Mamlersnn was present In the lobby , looking over thu great crowd , but Senator Paduock was absent. it was asserted , however , that the senator had sent n preference in this contest It was manifest n ly in the day that proxies were abundant ' i that the roads had used extra diligeuce > u gathering them In. At 7 p. m. the opera house rapidly bccran inline up , It requiring nearly the entire first floor to accommodate the five hundred or more delegates who were assigned by the ushers to their positions. Lancaster and Douglas occupied central places In the parquet flanked on one side by Otoo and Clay , while Gage , Cass and other counties with numerically largo delegations wore on the left. | It was 8:15 : p. in. when Chairman Burton called the convention to order. Hon. I ; . D. Richards , of Dodge , placed in nomination Hon. I ; . W. Osborne , of Washington county , for temporary chairman. Air. Osborne waf elected unanimously and being Introduced to the convention said : "I am thankful and grateful to this convention tor the lionoi conferred upon me. I congratulate you that this convention meets under such harmon ious circumstances. Let us hope that the convention will do Its work with that har mony that will ensure certain success at the polls. ( Applause. ) Thu republican party stands to-day a unit on all great questions , a harmonious unit that has the prestige ol victory already on Its banners. The countr * has doubled Its population and quadrupled Its wraith under republican rule. There Is one thing that can bo said ot the republican party : It has maintained its principles. U has been a consistent party. It has not been a party of free trade and a patty of protec tlon , or a party of freedom and slavery. 1 has been a party tor every and all states.

At this poit - " - - all the motions were practically withdrawn and Judge Mason arose. He was greeted with an ovation that lasted fully ten minutes before he was allowed to say that he did not desire to bo on the committee or to bo Its chairman , and he hoped that the original motion would bo adopted.

Wilson , ot Lancaster , moved that the resolutions presented be read and referred to the committee without de- batf. Mr. Conrtnay objected to the plan and objectPd to Mr. Wilson's smuggling In pro hibition resolutions In that way. Mr. Wil son replied that ho never smuggled Into a comn'ittee on a proxy and the laugh passed around. Mr. McBrideobjected to the motion and moved that the motion bo laid on the table. ( Jeneral Van Wyck wanted the action on resolutions presented discussed. He thought that Important resolutions would bo presented and he wanted them discussed so that the convention and the people of the state as well might hear thorn.

The committee on resolutions reported a follows : The republican party of Nebraska , whiI ever caret ill of property rights , and not holi Ing sympathy with those who would , wit the communist- ) , divide , nor with the anal chlst * . destroy , reasserts Its dctoruilnatlo that the great railway corport tious of this slate , which iiol relations of closest interest to th people , shall bo the fairly paid servants c the state aud not Its masters. The work c legislative control In slate and nation sba continue until all cause for complaint of ex horbltant rates and unjust discrimination In favor of Individuals or localities slia cease to exist Assuming ttio rcspons ! blllty which fairly belongs to It < having originated legislation looking' t railroad control , and thu creation of the ! tribunals or commissions wulfh uaro bee enabled to grapple with corporate power , the republican party will see to it that by all needed enlargements ot power these com missions , national and state , shall be armtd for battle and for victory. While favoring such change In the constitution of this state as will permit the railroad com missioners to be elected by the people , It hereby voices Its confidence In the existing boatd of transportation , and commends Its efforts to obtain for Nebraska the same taritt of rates for freight and carriage of passen gers as Is accorded to neighboring states similarly situated. It Is grossly unjust and a grevlotis wronz that Nebraska should pay more for the transportation of hoc products and the carriage ot her supplies than her neighbors Iowa , Minnesota and Dakota and the republicans ot the state , with Its 3,000 miles ot easily constructed and cheaply maintained lines ot railroad , shall not cease their efforts until all wrongs bo righted. The gratified thanks of the American pco- plo are duo to those who defended the union In the late war , and we are In favor of pro- vldlnit suitable pensions for soldiers and sailors who worn disabled In the service and who have since , without their fault or vice , become objects of public charity , and to the widows aud orphans of those wno felt in its 'efense. Wo heartily sympathize with the ambition and efforts of the patriots of Ireland in their udcavors to obtain for thqir country the Icsslngs of free institutions and local selt- overnmcnt. We rccogul/.o In Charles Stewart Parncll nil William K. Gladstone worthy champions f the fundamental principles of the Declar > atlon of Independence. At this stage In the proceedings the tariff lank , declaring In tavor ot a reduction on ron and to cease paying tribute to the Iron nanufacturers of the cast audio put taxation on the luxuries , was Introduced. The plank was laid on the table , Douglas voting 22to able and lO.agalnst , Mr. E. Rosewater and I. 11. Wilson championed the report of the lommlttee , Reavls , of Richardson , moving to able. The fight came on , however , with a pro- ilbltlon plank , the resolution pledging the party to a submission of a prohibitory amend ment. It was promptly moved to lay this plank on the table. On the call of counties Douglas voted solid 0 table the plank. Lancaster voting IT to able and 11 against. The vote was close ind exciting. It resulted 542 votes cast , 201 otes for laying the plank on the table and 2b2 against , so It was not tabled. At this point Paul Sctimlnkp , with wrath on hltj brow , took the floor , and amid cheers and the greatest contusion lie made the speech of thonleht. George W. Brcwslcr , ot Blalne , cham pioned tnc other side , Hot words flow around and C. J. Green spoke against the plank. The dlscuaslon waxed heated over the pro- ilbittou amendment. A. demand tor the previous question nought half of the convention to its leet. L'licre were so many unspoken speeches that he previous question was voted down. E. E. Howard , of Clav , .scored the Douglas county delegation In a bitter attack against their position. Mr. Rosewater replied to the allegations and the attempts to torco a prohibition Issue. llo claimed that It was an attack upon the ndivldual rights of n citizen and that there was no more right to legislate on that ques tion than to make an individual attend a certain church. Mr. Rosewater said that Douglas county never had a solid republican delegation and showed before the agitation that the county was represented by republicans. He characterised the resolution as ill timed and a tirebrand thrown into the convention. H. H. Wilson followed in defense of the x'sohttloii , demanding that the inral back- joue of the lepubllcan party should bo main tained. He said that republicans all over the state were looking to see what would be done. He believed the party was a party of courage and should fulfill Us pledges. 11. C. Brume , of Madlsun , did not favor the resolution , and spoke to the question. His oratory was listened to by till , and the speaker was loudly cheered by the evenly divided sentiment , and the equally evenly divided lobby cheered. The resolution attracting three hours' at tention is as follows : The republican party of Nebraska stands pledged to the people on an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the Importation , manufacture and sale of malt , spiritous and vinous liquors , and this , like all its former pledges , it will redeem. C. J. Greene moved the following amend ment : That the state central committee Incorpo rate in its call thu coming year , the question of a constitutional amendment to bu voted on at the primaries of the party. The loll call was made on laying this on the table and it was lost J8 ayes to U03 noes. The question then recurred on the adoption of the amendment and Harlan , of York , moved the pievlons question. Aeain the roll was demanded , resulting : Total vote , MS : for the amendment , ! M'J ' ; against , 100 so the amendment prevailed. This amendment , alter four hours lighting , relegated the question to n year in the future and was a victory practically for the anti-submission side of the question , Doug las county on Groan's amendment voting $2 for It. Lancaster 13 for ana 1U against the substitutes. The convention then proceeded to the con sideration ot further resolutions In the plat- 1 or in and at 3 a. m. the convention was en gaged In the discussion of resolutions cen suring Cleveland a.id the action of the demo cratic party. M. O. Rlcketts , of Douglas , then took the floor and discussed thu democratic atti tude In the south and the Glenn bill amid great applause. Stood By Judge Maxwell. LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. n.

Double Cordon * of Police Swept Anldo and Cleveland lllmnclf Almost Cruvhcd In the Great Crowd Reception. Cleveland In Chlotiffo. CHICAGO , Oct. 5. Only half n dozen stops were made during the run of the presiden tial train trom St. Louis , and these wore at water stations. Little Knots ot people awaited the passage ot the train through the night to look at the car which contained the steeping pres ident The president was called early this morning to elve him an opportunity of seeing something of the rich prairie country. Ho appeared on the rear platform shortly after sunrise and the farmers , recognizing the solitary tigurc , shouted with delight as the train rushed by. At Joliet , through which place the train ran very slowly , sev eral thousands tilled the platform. Mrs. Cleveland had now made her appearance and took her place beside her husband. At Lament , lll.COOquarrymen were drawn up In lino. General Vllas boarded the train with three friends , six miles from the city , and accompanied the president to town. When the train drew up at the Twenty-Sec end street station the presidential party was taken In hand by the reception committee and escorted to the carriages In waiting. The train bearing President Cleveland and wife putted slowly Into the Alton depot at Twenty-third street at 9:10 : o'clock a. in. There was a loud shout from the crowd and three cheers as the dis tinguished pair walked across the platform to their carriage. A moment later the car riage door closed , four spirited horses jumped as the whip circulated over heir heads and the president was Iding through the streets of Chicago. It was only a few minutes after 7 o'clock this morning when the people commenced to stop it the depot where the president A'as adver Used to alight from his special train. At that jiour there were 200 men. women , boys and girls standing around thu llttlo three-cornered lepot , which looked dismal In Us coat of , veatlier-beatcn drab paint. It Is a two-story jtructuro with two small waiting rooms. In pach of which the stoves furnished slight ieat for a crowd of persons who had become : hilled standing on the outside looking at ho rusty car rails on two sides. Near by are jmall I'ranu ) buildings , towering elevators , and bulletin boards covered with highly colored pictures of theatrical attractions. In all directions vacant lots , or rough lumber or stone yards could bo scon. Not a bit ot decoration was visible for a block around the queer little depot , and not a vestige of color could bo seen on the latter building except a dirty drab which protected the outside weather hoarding from the elements and big yellow letters which looked almost llashy in their surroundings of gloom. It was a welcome bellttlng the executive of this great republic that President' ' Cleveland met with when he landed for the lirsttimo In Ills Iltu in Chicago , this morning. The enthusiasm was electrical. Such crowds , such bright faces 1ri thu same number were never seen before. There must have been 50,000 men , women and children gath ered within a few blocks of the station. All the streets leading to' Archer a von no were blocked completely with the press of human beings. Above the heads of the ciowds could be seen helmetcd military. They "wore tiuly a tine lot of men' , in all four com panies of cavalry ( and artillery. Tlu-ir ai rival created a sensation which grew more and more tumultuous as the presidential equipage appeared on the scene. The crowd was entirely good natured. Its one wish seemed to exnress respect tor the president and lady. Although boisterous at times , as all crowds'are.tlus ' one was on its good behavior and readily enough obojed the requests of the po- 'Ico to stand back and leave i clear snaco throuch which the president .nliihtpasa. As the president's carriage moved pway the military formed around It and the crowd with wild cheering tell In behind. The president took oil' ills , hat the moment ho got Into the carriagcand bowed and smiled as the roaring cheers ; went ni > . Ho seemed pleased with his welcome and well he might be , for It wns truly foyal. .Mrs. Cleveland wore a black traveling dress and although wearied trom traveling looked fresh and charming as usual. As the presidential carriage with the fair mistress of the white house came In view a cheer went up from tno masses that tilled thu streets , but the domt'Anarof the crowd at this part of the line of march WAS in striking con trast to the unceasing din of chrers. that greeted the president lurtherou. There v.'S-s no music until the president got to Twenty- thhd strc'et , and the crowd did nothing but look at the president and Mrs. Cleveland. Close up behind the carriages came the Mil waukee light horse squadron and battery F. Fourth artillery , U. 8. A. The crowd hid veiled Itself hoarse cheering for the president when the second division swung Into line at the corner of Michigan avenue and Twenty- third street. Down Twenty-third street , AVaoash avenue aiulThirty-Ufth street people were packed as never before in Chicago. On the tops of the houses and In the windows weru crowds of anxious faces , and trom the roofs floated streamers , evidently Improvised hurriedly for the occasion. Down at Twen ty-second stieot , where the procession began , there was a repetition of the depot scene , and a man might as fell have attempted to walk through a brick-wall as to force his way in to the midst of this fence of men and women. The parade was very largo and variegated. The regular Infantrytfcavalry and artillery , and many different militia organisations headed It and were followed by veterans of the war , civic societies of all classes , etc. When thu president's carriage reached the reviewing stand thu United States steamer Michigan , which lay in the harbor just oppo site , tired a presidential salute of twenty- one guns. This was Urn signal for a mob of ,10,000 people to overrun the procession and swarm like ants toAvard the stand in their eagerness to see iKu president. When he made his way the stand lie and a few olliolals with aim were almost pushed over a railing by thuhuob , who were engaged In an insane struiri ; ! for the front. During the height ot the jam a tenlliu crash was heard and half a hundred people who had squeezed themselves * onto the reporters' tables were piecipitatod to the ground. No one was seriously injured , though the Inci dent almost created Ja panic. When com parative order hauikeen restored Mayor Hoc ho stopped forward and delivered his welcoming address. | In response to Mayor Koacho's address of welcome he said ; "It was soon alter the election of IbM thatrtn old resident of vour city was earnestly u/ging me to pay you a visit Ho endeavorrd to meet all objections that were started an'd Instated witli unyield ing pertinacity that the invitation should bo accepted. At last , anil after all uersuasion seemed to fail , he vehemently broke out with this declaration : 'The people up where 1 live don't think a man Is tit for president who has never seen Chlcazo. ' 1 have often thought of tills Incident since that time , and sometimes when I have felt that 1 was not doliu for thu people and the public welt are all that nil.1 lit DO done , oral that I worn 1 like to do. I have wondered 11 things would not have gone on better If I had visited Chicago. Indeed it has , 1 believe boon publicly stated on one or more occa sions lately , when the shortcomings of the present chief executive were under dlscti- ston , that nothing better could be expcctci of a man who had never been "west ot SOIMO designated place , or river , and this. I sup pose , means the same thing that my Chicago irlend meant , and involves the same accusa tlon and conclusion. If my alleged otllcla crimes and misdemeanors are thus chanta bly accounted for , l shall not complain While 1 confess that the-declaration of tin representative of this city as I have given It Is an evidence of that local pride and loyalty of which your city Is a great monument Al ) have heard of It if they have not si'tu It , for every oub of your people ecms to have organized himself a committee if one to spread its glories abroad. And now hat I am hero I feel like saying with the uecn ot Sheba , "The half has not been old. " After relating the history of Chicago's growth , the president concluded as follows : i'ou have said that the president ought to eo Chicago. I am hero to sea It , and its lospltable large-hearted people , but because our city Is so great and your interests so argc and Important , 1 know you will allow no to suggest that I have left at home a city you ought to sco and know more about , In point ot fact It would bo well for you to keep your eyes closely ipon it all the time. Vour servants and agents are there. They are tticro to protect your Interests and aid youretTorts to advance 'our ' prosperity and well being. Vour bust ing trade and your wearing , ceaseless actlv- ty of hand and brain will not yield there- suits you deserve unless wisdom guides the > ollcy of your government , and unless your needs are regarded at the capltol ot the latlon. It will bo well for you not to fonrot hat in the performance of your political lutle.s , with calm thouglitfulness and broad patriotism , there lies not only a safeguard against business disaster , but au Important obligation ot citizenship. " It was liil o'clock when the last of the one procession and crowd began to disperse. There was such a jam then that the president ould not leave the platform for some time. finally , however , ho got away , almost faint- ng with htuiL'or and exertion , and had din ner. In loss than an hour the public rocop- Ion in the Palmer house began and more han a hundred thousand people rushed like wild boasts at the president and wife. So thunderous was the din that a score of presplring trumpeters scorned engaged in a dumb show. In vain did the police , clubs In hand , endeavor to stem the rush. Hope barriers were swept away at the irst rush. Mrs. Cleveland was retired into an alcove , while the president plunged Into .ho surdug crowd aud sturdily shouldered himself Into the place where it had been de cided ho should stand. Three times did tiles of brawny , dismounted cavalrymen seize the ends of one of thegropes tlurt had been dashed to thu floor and strive to drag back the eager multitude. Only with the aid of a double cordon of police did the maneuvers of the soldiers bring tlm faintest semblance of order. The president mean while shook hands right and loft till lie was red in the face and his collar lay limp above Ills black coat. Behind him at thu entrance to the alcove - cove stood Mrs. Cleveland , bowing and smil ing vood naturedly at the crowd. She stepped a little nearer her husband when the first appearance ot a line began to he tunned. At the head came a detachment of union veterans , bearing aloft the tattered battle la of the Fourth Kansas volunteers. Whllo the president warmly greeted the old sol diers , one ' after another , the color nearer stepped forward to Mrs. Cleveland , and lowering the old flag jade her clip elf one of Its precious shreds as a memento of the day. The president's wlto gracefully compiled and while the spectators went wild with enthusiasm , displayed her : rophy proudly to the ladles at tier side. A o\v estimate of the number of persons with whom the president shook hands is 0,000 , but these were the fortunate few. Thou sands In the corridors and thousands upon thousands In the streets failed even to catch a sight of his face. During the crush outside it Is safe to say that as many as tlfty women had to be borne from the throng Into stores near by , fainting from exhaustion. THK EVENING UKCKl'TIO.V. Simplicity and lack of ostentation wewtlio distinguishing characteristics ot the evening reception at the Columbia theater.

A floor had been laid throughout the. house level with ttio stage and beautifully carpeted , whllo the whole Interior of the theater was beautifully decorated with flowers , ferns. palms and bunting. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland stood together , each having a pleasant word r.nd hearty handshake for all comers. Mrs. Cleveland's costume was elccant and her demeanor enchanted every one. It seemed as though she never would tire of welcoming the people who elided to her , and the presi dent was no less gracious. The reception was a notable event In Chicago's history. Alt had been announced that the reception would close at 11 o'clock , but the president ind wife , seeing a long line of anxious faces , lingered past that hour. It was nearly mid night When the reception closed and then two or three thousand people were turned away disappointed. YOUA'G VOOUHHES' PLAINT. A Ilrannh of the Tall Sycamore Fcr- nlnnt Cleveland. CHICAGO , Octt. 5. ( Special Telegram to the BKK.J A gentleman just from Indian apolis reports that Delegate Voorhces , of Washington territory , who Is now there and about to come to this city , as saying that President Cleveland has been actuated en tirely by seilish notions In making appoint ments for the Pacilic coast , and for that mat ter all over the country. Voorhees Is re ported as saying : " 1 do not like Cleveland a d - d bit There never has been a presi dent who has given the country such a per sonal administration as ho has In this , that helms himself made almost all thu appoint ments that have been made and they were entirely In his own Interest. Take for in- s'tancp Herbert Beechcr , now special govern ment Agent at the port of entry at Puget Sound. Hd was first appointed collector of that part at the request of his father , Henry Ward Beccher. Charges of embcz/.lo- ment were made against him and proved to the senate committee , to which the charges were referred , and ho failed to get n confir mation. In spite of all this , at the recess of congress Cleveland made him a special au-ent at the port. In that capacity his appoint ment would not have to 1:0 before the senate at all. Of course you know Cleveland owed something to his father. In protesting now 1 protest as a democrat. Mr. Cleveland has no interest in the party , and the appointment of lleeclier will bo a loss to our party in Washington territory of 5.000 votes. An other is Governor Squire. He fought mo bit- teily on my election simply because Gen eral Brlstow , of New York , a mugwump , desired It , he having Jheen friendly to Cleve land at the time of his election. " Voorhees recited several other instances , among them being the case of Owlngo , now secictary of state for Washington territory. ' Owlneo , " said he , "took the stump , and made a bitter tight against Governor llen- drlcks , calling him all sorts of vile names. He also attacked Cleveland. Still at Urn re quest of his brother , another Now York mugwump , ho Is kept In position. " Slgnnr Crisp ! Interviewed. JUni.iK : , Oct. 5. The Frankfort /pitting publishes an Interview with Crlspi , the Italian prime minister , held in Frankfort previous to his departure for Milan. His conversation with Bismarck had no refer ence to any special political objects. The Itomaii question did not exist for tholtallans. Ho says that Its position toward the Vatican is a matter with which Italy would allow no Interference from any quarter. Crlspi declared that Italy onlv desired to maintain peace and the F.uropcan equilibrium , and on this account joined the Austro-German alliance. "Italy , " ho added , . "like other powers , has reason to fear an advance by Kus.sla towards Constantinople , and she could not penult the Mediterranean to become a Itusslau lake. " Proposal to Turkey. ST.

HnlKhtKnCIjAbor ItcfuHc AdmlMlon to the Delegate From Denver. MINNEAPOLIS , Oct 0. The delegates to the general assouiby of the Knights ot Labor were a llttlo earlier In gutting to work this morning. There had been no night of en joyment to make them laggards and ttiore was an air of bustle about the hotels , but there was no excitement and llttlo open talk- In if , and It appears as If preliminary work was well In hand. The convention was called to order at 0:15. : The unfinished work of the credentials committee was llrst taken up. When the session closed last night the credentials of only IbO delegates had been passed upon. It is understood that numer ous protests were referred back to the cre dentials committee for additional Informa tion. The committee finished Its work and was ready to report this morning. It Is un derstood that the revised list of protests Is not largo probably four , and perhaps eight. It Is qulto likely , however , that the lluht over the protests will bo inn ? and bitter , The whole afternoon session of the general assembly was Spent In considering protest cases. The case of Joseph K. Buchanan , of Denver , was decided against Ills admission. This vote Is announced as beliu strictly on a question ot law , his local assembly having been susvended for non-payment of dues and ho with It. Buchanan took his defeat very philosophically and admitted that Powderly had treated him very fairly , having given him more privileges on the floor than he had ever seen him give any one. The convention was flooded with circu lars Issued by district assembly $3. criticising Powderly and commenting unfavorably upon his speech and replies to the attacks made upon him at Denver last May. As soon as the Buchanan case was dis posed ot the cases of the protest against the admission of delegates from district assembly 10 of Pennsylvania were taken tip. The report or tliecomniltteo in favor ot ad mitting the delegates was adopted. ' The new cases taken up were those of Charlns S. Sclb and George A. Schlllluir , of District 34 , Chicago , and the gentleman were quickly ad mitted , as also wore the delegates from Dis trict 50. District Assembly ilO , shoemakers' national district , was barred out owing to the fact that the district has had no meeting since It received its charter. A few more eases will be taken up to-morrow , but will bo speedily disposed of and the reg > ular routine business will move forward. Powderly's address will probably bo read to-morrow afternoon. There Is little doubt but that that the convention will last from two to three weeks. Michael Uavitt Speaks. MINNKAI > OI.IS , Oct. 5.

Ho spoke at some length regarding the struggle of labor and said that the spectacle ot the Knights of Labor working without Interference trom the government or interfering with the gov ernment gave them , across the water , pride and pleasure. "We view it , " i < ald he , ' 'with ' Interest and expectancy. Classes Invite it with alarm.
