The Republicans are waiting patiently for
definite action by the federal authorities at
Washington. They can protect themselves if
forced to do so. They have always been loyal
and obedient to the mandates of higher au-
thority. The federal government sustained
Baxter in his conflict with Brooks, and by that
means alone Garland and his mob Of White
and all, and they at once commenced regular
system If murders, intimidations and other
fearful crimes, which is resulting in all the
horrors of civil war. Business throughout the
state is almost entirely suspended and the
White Leaguers militia roam at large. Ii we
are to fight we wish to know it, The earlier
the matter is settled the better it will be for all.
