In this cmutry at t!ie ballot box all are equal. The l>a!lot is the poor man's best weapon for preserving his rights. His vote in the ballot box counts as much as the vote of a millionaire. This is the glory ol America. Europe with its vast wealth and marble palaces is a poor home for men who must labor with their hands. It is a hopeless home for them beciusi they have no free vote and alt the laws made discrim inate against them. This need not be so here if laboring men keen their eyes and ears open to find out their true interests. They must stand by each other. The best safety for laboring men is to work l'or each other. Take men fresh from the ranks ot labor foe the of fices. There are pleanty of men who work for their daily bread who are competent to discharge the duties of the highest offices. Why are these men neglected? Why does King ( aucus neglect tho men •whose shirts are soiled with the sweat of honest labor ? Why docs King Caucus put men on the ticket who get their living by talking on the street corners, and shaving notes, and all kinds of speculative trading? The answer is patent to every body. The very boys upon the street can tell you. Money, 3fo>/iy Money. Who gets the "boodle?" Is it men who rise at five in the morning and work until night for a dollar or less per day to earn the food and clothing for their little ones? Not one of them. The "boodle goes to men who run about whispering "stick to your party, stick to your party, stick to your party, whetbei you 1 ik< the man who is nominated or not. If' you do know the nominee obtained liH nom ination by fraud what of that? IT you know he is as corrupt as the devil in his political methods what of that? The party must be main tained and yon must vote the ticket.' Does the boodler offer to divide the dolls;rs in liis pocket ? Does he say honestly lam hired to talk? Or if he is not a boodler hut one of the moneyed men who is looking to get an odicc next year does he honestly say, "I expect to bo a candidate next year and I want to keep the party together on that account? Not much. 'I he boodler this year will be a bood ler next year, and the moneyed man who is now crying "steak to the party," expects to pay hoodie next year to get his nomination and then get cheap votes from honest men by part* feeling. To the intelli gent laboring men of Sullivan we wo put the question fairly, has not this thing continued long enough? Is it not time for men who live by the sweat of their brows to stand up for each otlior? IHORK iNimrr.nuvrs. Revclopmi'ulN jm Ihie Cnw a( (hinuo. CHICAGO, Oct. 17. —There is plenty of excitement about the Criminal Court building this morn ing, but nothing further has thus far to-day been developed in con nection with with the jury bribery plot.
