There were eight or ten delegates, including ladies, who voted in the negative. A vote of thanks was passed to the officers. THE EIGHT HOUR LAW. Mr. Parsons, of Chicago, moved that a vote, condemning the government for refusing to enforce laws for the relief of the workingmen (the eight hour and other bills), and for the poor people at large, while it is swift In passing all laws in the interests of monopolies. Mr. Hunt, of Boston, seconded the resolution. Mr. Kearney said that. every honest citizen should condemn the government for setting laws on the statute books at defiance. ‘The laboring men would put their laws on the statute books, when these people would come cringing to them. He moved the previous question, and the vcte of condemnation was adopted. NEW PLANKS.
