PIRATE FLORIDA CAPTURED
FROM CHICAGO.
lspsciaI to the Cleveland LEApEE.l


CHICAGO, Nov. 1920 P. N.
The most intense excitement has pre-
vailed here all day over the startling ru-
mors of rebel plots to release the prisoners
at Camp Douglas and create disturbance
in the city.
For some days past suspicious characters
have been arriving in squads Of ten or
twenty, from the southern part of the
State, and received and quartered by our
Copperheads. The movements of these
fellows have been so we'll watched by
Government detectives, that it has led to
the most startling developments and ar
rests, that have fallen like a thunderbolt
among the Copperheads and rebel sympa-
thizers.
Camp Douglas is near the southern city
limits, high-fenced enclosure, containing
some eight thousand prisoners. AT the
house of Charles Walsh, q member of the
Board of Aldermen, just adjoining the
camp, a descent was made by the military,
and two rebel spies were found, one
Captain QuantreIl, and rebel private
named Traverse. They were taken from
the roof of the back shed while attempt
ing to escape.
In Walsh's house were found three
hundred ten inch six shooters, loaded and
capped, with small cloth bags of fixed
ammunition ready for issue, and two EUn-
dred double barrel shot guns. Walsh is in
custody and in irons. He hss broker
down and made mosL startling eaIfes-
sion, duplicating many of the leading cop
perheads of this city and State in a de-
liberate plo. TO fire the city and release the
prisoners. He says they are banded TO-
gether to resist the issue of the forthcom-
ing election, which they concede will be
for Lincoln, and carry the Northwest out
of the Union.
Judge Bucl1ner s. Morris, formerly a
Circuit Judge and a leading man ameng
the copperheads, was arrested at his resi-
dence and is now in irons at Camp Doug
las: A Doctor Edwards and two or three
other parties have been taken into custody.
Several boxes of arms have been found In
various parts of the city-one large one
on the premises of Mccormick, the Secs
sion candidate for Congress. The greatest
excitement prevails.
The Board of Trade at their meeting
To-Day took prompt measures to raise
five hundred mounted patrols, who are
now being pul on duty. l-. .
There is large force of Military here
and everything is ready to promptly sup
press any outbreak. It is the last desperatt
act of the enemies of the country in tht
northwest. Tomorrow they die. w
shall send you majorities for the Uniol
from this region that will attest that tn
northwest cannot be taken in the net 0
the conspirators.

On last Wednesday evening the admir-.

met at Young's He'll. to testify their love

WaEnIngS.

In 1860 the Democratic party warned
the people that ii they placed the RepubIN
cans in power. it would bring the most
terrible and bloody war the world ever
witnessed.
The Republicans told them that they
would destroy the Union if necessary, to
destroy an institution recognized aud pro-
tected by the constitution.
Our history in the past four years has
proved that bu:h parties told the truth
The Democratic party warns the peuT lie
now, that TO continue Abraham Lincoln in
power will not Only be to continue the
fierce and wicked war which is raging, and
to destroy the Republic, but that it vii! be
the death blow to liberty upon cur cOnti-
neDt.
Mr.. Lincoln tells US that the constitu>
tiun is already suspended and that it will
be utterly subverted il necessary for the
prosecution of his schemes.
In view of history, which is already re-
corded, can ary one doubt that al this is
as true now as the promises and predic-
tions Of the same parties were four years
agoH Can any patriot hesitate as to how
mis- vote shall be cast in the coming cleo
ton? We think not.
