He told wliat had been done to in* imfdatc capital and gave the causes hat had driven it from the state. Mr. Green's talk was to workingmen specially, and he told them that the rime cause for Air. Brown’s Candida- s the pressure brought xo bear im by the laboring classes and he labor unions. Ho stated that pc- Itions signed by thousands of work- lg men from every city in the state ad been sent to Mr. Brown pleading ith him to become a candidate. They sked for employment, they naked for elief, they asked for bread, and that ut for those appeals Mr. Brown ould not have been a candidate to- ly. Ho argued that Air. Brown was ©•eminently the laboring man’s cau date, and judging from the repeated id prolonged applause it was quite ident that his audienco agreed with m. Mr. Green stated that ho had P n Mr. Brown personally fox- many », and that he knew him to be uoiiest, upright gentleman and ov- Inch a man. and one whom Goor- !S would be proud to honor ns their ornor. Mr. Green 13 not a fast talker, but ■ was ~ood argument and good ! lu everything ho said, and his is bearing fruit as la evidenced j e tyct that several men who were ■ibtful before they heard him, came Herald office this morning for iwn buttons.
