TINE removal of all the ordnance, ordnance
stores, canRons, guns and pistols from the Jefer-
son Barracks, at st. Louis, to the Rock Island
arsenal, Illinois, and the Watervliet arsenal,
New York, provokes good deal of angry COM

ing that the Democrats have been boasting of the
military organizations in Missouri who are ready
TO fight for Tilden, the movement was eminently
wise. If nobody means any harm, nobody is
harmed.

he will do il in Washington. The peace-hoping
