WHAT MARSHAL WALKER SAYS
This telegram Of Chairman Shelley aroused,
the ire Of the republicans. and most especially
United States Marshal d. W. Walker of the
middle district Of Alabama at Montgomery.
under whose jurisdiction Selma falls.
In an interview in New Jersey YESTERDAY
Marshal Walker said: The petitioners asking
the appointment OF deputy marshals in Dallas
to protect supervisors in the discharge of their
duty against violence are among the best citi-
zens of that county and are all white men. /
appointed deputies ana instructed them 10 pro-
tect the supervisors while In the discharge O..
their official duty at all hazards The
| supervisors are officers Of the United
| States government, and when, notice
was served on me, by a petition from some of
tine pest citizens IN the state, whose veracity
cannot be questioned. that violence was threat
ened against the officers of the government I
| felt would be derelict in my duty if | did not
make preparations to protect them As to the
notice sent out by Gen. Shelley instructing the
arrest Of deputy marshals, il amounts 10
nothing, but Is mere effort to use
| the old and stale and | NAV saw.
| worn-out machine method 70 bulldoze federal
officials in the discharge of their sworn duties
This won't work now. 1t Is white men who are
| going to act as deputies and they are smarting
| under wrongs which no free people ever tamely
| submitted to or will submit to- practically de-
prfving them in the late state election of the
right Of suffrage. Shelley's action is that of a
desperate politician to carry ont desperate DO
litical methods, but he will be baked this time
Mark that have been informed also that the
military of Selma held a recent meeting and
determined to send out detachments TO certain
beats to overawe and intimidate voters.
defy any officer. be he state officer or not TO
interfere with any deputy wearing the badge OF
the United States. Ny men are instructed 10
treat every one with fairness and courtesy. but
to protect federal supervisors. and my general
instructions are the same those given to
deputies under Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
No infringement of the law has been made in
these appointments and | but exercised the
power have under the federal statutes to pro-
tect federal officers in the discharge of their
official duties against violence and / am de-
termined that they shall be protected
Marshal Walker Immediately telegraphed to
washington to the Attorney Generals Office for
advice on the subject and was notified in sub
stance to exercise his own discretion in the
matter. This is taken TO mean that his
appointments of deputies inside of cities of
20.OO0 inhabitants or over will stand. II the
deputies interfere or attempt to interfere in
any way with the election in the country pre-
cIncts or. towns, especially in Dallas county, n
conflict will surely follow. As the democrats are
determined and worked up to a high
pitch OF excitement, urged on by
Chairman Shelley's order to arrest
the deputies. there is no telling what may
happen. To say the least the outlook is
