Gould, Scott and Jewett. John Swim
ton, Chairman, said they were no RI
oters, but as good-looking as Beech
ers congregation, and that the crowd
contained more manly and less sneak
ing and lecherons faces than in
Beecher's multitude. That sponta-
neous movement for the rights of la
Dor was sought to be put down by

powers could muster. A reference to

fire on the strikers, caused an inn

was broken up in its incipiency by q

revenge. They separated, and band
