Pillsbury's Appeal.
Mr.. Pillsbury says in his Standdrd
this morning: Men OF Maine, the
next article on the programme is to dis
perse by force the Legislature convened
in Union Hall. Are you, as free men,
willing to submit to this outrage. See
to it that your representatives are pro-
tected. This is elimination OF
the outrage inflicted upon the Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers by
the Stalwart pimps OF the Republican
party. Who is the man VINO Will now
step out of our ranks and side with the
cOwardly uen entrenched IN
the State House, who tremble
at the sound of their own
voices and do not feel safe unless
backed up by the bayonets OF the State
militia? Let the end be what it may,
history will read that Corporal Davis
was the first man in the State OF Maine
to authorize the array OF bayonets at the
State House to keep from its portals the
citizens Of the commonwealth"
Adjutant-General Beal, Major Nye,
Captain Small and other military men
are in the State House, and every mill
tary company in Maine is under arms.
The Gatling gun at the State House
faces the front door and could sweep the
stone tagged terrace with death hail.
The Fusionist Governor, Smith, hints
that the Republicans may get all the
fighting they want. Capt. Black, OF the
Fusion staff, says that all he asks for is
10 be arrested. 1t is reported that a case
OF carbines are secreted at his down town
office. 4. F. Gould legal adviser OF the
fusion government characterizes the
moving OF troops here as deplorablc
act and sure to rebound to the political
advantage OF the fusionists. at is"
he SAYS, "the biggest blunder yet made
by the Republicans. All the military
in the State will be here by night il the
fusionists carry out the plans they are
alleged to have matured.
The Fusonist. Legislature.
met with diminished numbers this
morning. Speaker Talbot told a re-
porter his House needed protection
more than the Republicans. The fusion
lists show unmistakable signs OF ner-
vousncss over the state OF affairs. Secre-
tary OF State Sawyer OF the fusion
government, is out Of the city. Should
the Fusion legislature go to Biddciord,
it is likely TO find the doors OF any hall
it may engage guarded by soldiers No
iooling any longer is the Republican
talk to-day. The State House is con
verted into a sort OF barracks. Stoves
are in the cellar to cook army rations oi
beef etc, for the troops. At the Adj
iutant Generals Office they have infor-
nation which, it is said, fully justifes
the calling out OF the militia. Governor
Davis is strongly urged To at once dis
perse the Union Hall legislature and the
Fusion government. Sunday night the
troops will all bc under arms. Tie Re-
publican authorities assert that il there
Is civil war the responsibility will rest
upon Fusionists.
