THE last revolutionary movement Of
the Ku-Klax Democracy Is an attempt
10 get possession Of the arms and amuni-
tion OF the State, for what purpose we
may infer from recent developments
with reference to the organization Of the

the State, 70 the care and keeping OF two
Coppsrhead members of their own body.

elected Governor Of Wisconsin, after
. most sharply contested canvass, by.a
majority of 4,f84. Itwas deemed so mar

ers felt encouraged TO make agreat effort
TO carry the State this Spring. They
nominated two Of their strongest men,
Dunn and Ellis, for the Supreme Court.
They counted largely on divisions In the
Republican party, which, at that time,
were Imminent. They elected delegates
TO the Democratic National Convention.
most of whom were known TO be Ia
