What Printers Think Of Reid

A Jackson printer and a staunch republican, who has been prominently identified with the typographical union since its organization in this city, and also with the trades' council, said to the Patriot, Tuesday: " I am pleased to see that Grover Cleveland is practically sure of the democratie nomination for president, and if he is nominated I will place in the ballot box on election day the hrst vote ever cast by me for a democratie presidential nominee. And I am not alone in this matter. I have talked with nearly every union printer in Jackson, and have found but one who will vote the republican ticket. There are many republicans among the printers in this city - and strong partisans at that - but they are determined to resent the insult hurled at organized labor, the typographical union in particular, by the republican convention in placing Whitelaw Reid in nomination for the vice-presidency. Whitelaw Reid is the most pronounced enemy of the union printers in America, and if organized labor does not teach the republican leaders a severe lesson I am off in my calculations. "And now Whitelaw Reid thinks to throw sop to the workingmen by unionizing nis office as soon as the nomination is bagged. It won 't go down, though. Just think of it! He runs the rattiest rat printing office in the country for fifteen or twenty years, entirely ignoring the union and positively refusing to treat with it. In fact at one time when an agreement had been reached between the printers and the business manager of the Tribune he refused to recognize it. "The cheekiest part of the whole thing, though, is the fact that Whitelaw Reid now expects the people to believe his story that the unionizing of the Tribune had no connection whatever with his nomination." - Jackson Patriot.
