We organized meetin NV course,

We warned the higgers that while
We desired to live In harmony with
EN-, harmony was only attainable by

sary. They must know that Tilden's
eleckshun wuz eertin; that they could
no longer look to the FedrlI Govern
ment for proteckshun, and that we
held theT tates in our hands. They
must resoom ther nomaI condition or
take the penalty.
And the people set 10 work sternly
that evsnin to carry out their no.

north end, wuZ ordered to leave In
ten minits, and for fear that he wood

most eOwardly manner, eZ soon eZ our
people sailed out, and laid behind en-
with Henry rifles and sieh, and defied
US. Their never kin be peece here, so
long ez these men make that store q
rallyin point for the disRffected mig
gers.
The next morning We held another
meetin to git our claims agin the
government in some kind Nv shape.
We found that in almost every in
stance the citizens he'd got em too
low. For instance, Deekin Pogram
he'd claim for a mule, lot Nv sweet
potatoes and x lengths NV rail fence. |
He he'd put this in for six thousand
dollars only, wich wuz absurdly low.

and the expenses Nv eleCtin q reform

We raised the claim to $4,000; wich |

Capt. M'Pelter he'd his claim in for |

Issaker Gavitps wnZ put up from |
