in his address of denying the stories of
his inhumanity to union soldiers, and
declares that he never held rank above

fore never have been in authority at
any post. M. M. McAllister, a vet
eran, of Wichita, Kan, who was in
Salisbury prison, North Carolina,
when Polk was governor, holds a sick
parole signed by L. L. Polk, brigadier-
general, commanding the post, and
gives the alliance leader the blackest
reputation for his conduct to union
prisoners A score or so of old soldiers
got together Wednesday and perfected
plans for applying tar and feathers to
Polk before he should leave town that
night, but somehow news of the inten-
ton leaked out, and the police took
steps to prevent the projected assault
