...still be ignorant of French, German, etc. This conductor (and he is not, it would be safe to wager, the only one of his kind in the country) does not agree that his education has been of important service to him in his struggle for existence. When in need it did not secure for him a better place than that of car conductor, and as a car conductor it is no help to him.

We sincerely trust...
...secretary eventually elected would have been thrown out at the first had the meeting not amended the rules. Later in the evening the orator finally receiving the majority of votes would have been rejected by such a rule as the '84 committee propose. To prove that freedom of ballot need not work disadvantageously, I will state that '83's meeting was an hour and a half shorter than '82's, in which the shutout rule was adopted...
