says there are troops and a Gatling gun
garrisoned in the state house.
Pillsbury says in his Daily Standard
this morning:
"Men of Maine, the next article on
the programme is to disperse 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 protected. This
is the elimination outrage inflicted on
the democrats and greenbackers by the
stalwart pimps of the republican party.
Who is the man who will now step out
Of our ranks and side with the coward
ly men entrenched in the state house,
who tremble at the sounds of their own
voices. and do not feel safe unless
backed up by the bayonets of the state
militiaPn
Let the end be what it may, histo-
ry will read that Corporal Davis was
the first man in the state of Maine to
authorize an 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. Every military
company in Maine is under arms.
A Gatling gun at the state house
faces the front door, and could sweep

hail.
The fusionist governor, Smith, hints
that the republicans may get all the
fighting they want.
Captain Black, of the fusion staff,

made by the republicans.
All of the military in the state will
be here by night, if the fusionists carry
out the plans they are alleged to have
matured.
The fusionist legislature met in di-
minished numbers this morning.
Speaker Talbot told reporter that
his house needed protection more than
the republicans.
The fusionists show unmistakable
signs of nervousness over the state of
affairs.
Secretary of State Sawyer, of the fu-
sion government, is out of the city
Should the fusion legislature go to
Biddeford, it is likely to find the doors
of any hall it may engage guarded by
soldiers.

publican talk to-day. The state house
