INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 8t-When the
Grand Army encampnent adjourned 1t
was with forcibly expressed admoni-
ton from the retiring commander that
he would not tolerate any delay in get
ting together In the morning, and that
the dilatory delegates that delayed pro-
ceedings would be reproved If they
failed to put in an appearance on time.
Most of the officers and member of

celebration at the worlds fair on Sat-
urday, at which time Captain Jack
Adams, the new commander in-chief
from the Bay state, will make his in
augural appearance in his official Ca
pacity.
Ohfoans DisaruntIed.
Considerable chagrin is manifested
among the supporters of General Hurst
OF Ohio, who was one Of the leading
candidates for commander in chief.
over what they are inclined to charac-
terize as the snap judgment" that was
taken by their Eastern opponent. At
previous encampments it has been GUS
tomary to defer the nominations until
the closing hours of the last day, and
owing to the late arrival of many OF
the delegates the supporters of the
Buckeye candidate had been unable to
get their forces into presentable order.
On the other hand the Massachusetts,
man had the benefit or the earnest CO
operation Of the shrewdest political
workers in the order and were deter
mined to take time by the forelock in
forcing nomination.
The results was that when a motion
to that effect was presented on the
heels Of the acceptance of the official
report, the Ohioans were first dumb
founded and then demoralized Gov
ernor Mckinley, who, Notwithstanding
pressure Of state affairs had been in
duced TO come here. largely with the
object of placing Hurst In nomination,
was Grating at a camp meeting soma
distance away, and another comrade
had to be impressed into service for the
duty. Consequently the Ohio can
didate was deprived Of what
ever support might have been
drawn from his opponent by the
inspiring and magnetic advocacy Of the
young Napoleon. Before the roll oall
Of his own state hsd been reached Ii
was evident that b had lost the day.
The election OF ivan n. Walker Of

Wnlcn Gney were roughly nHnoleu. AIGeE
one of them was knocked down by q
gentle tap from Rysn's fist, and che
others were twisted considerably out Of
shape, they retrested, and Rich went on
to representative hall as il nothing un-
usual had happened. The house wss
called to order and proceeded with it's
regular order Of business. Besides the
passing Of half dozen bills the follow
ing resolution was introduced by Gest,
Of Jefferson:
WHEREAS, An attempt has been made
to arrest the chief clerk Of this house by
an organized mob calling themselves the
republican house Of representatives, but
which we believe to be in reality the
Santa Fe railroad company; therefore
be it
Re0olued, That we, the legally organ
lied and constitutional house Of repre-
sentatives, proclaim to the state Of
Kansas that the mob was foiled and that
our flag Ia still there,
Enraged over the failure Of their at
tempt to delay the lawful proceedings Of
the Populist house, the republicans grew
more and more excited. During the
afternoon they swore in over fifty SER
geants-at-Mms with r. B. Welch as
chief, declaring to themselves that they
would yet stop the proceedings Of the
Dunsmore house.
The regular house met this menacing
movement with resolution to exclude
from the hall all but members of the
house. The attempt to arrest their chief
clerk was considered sufficient grounds
to justify the Populists in preparing for
further outrsges, and the sergesnt-at-
arms was instructed to keep out the
deputies and other so-called officers Of
the republican house.
Several constables came to the house
with justice warrants for Ryan, Brelden-
thai, Scott and Willis, who were charged
with breaking the peace defending
Rich). These warrants were served be-
tween them and Wednesday night each
OF the defendants was released on bond.

Topeka, KAs., February IA, 1893.
DEAR SIR:-Whereas, q body Of armed
and lRwless men have this day attempted
to arrest the chief clerk of the house Of
representatives, the Hon. Ben G. Rich;
and whereas, there are EumoFs which
seem to be well-founded that such law.
less body OF men now contemplate Q
second attempt to arrest said Rich and
otherwise to become q menace to the
peace and order of the state; now, there.
fore, l hereby demand Of you that you
proceed at once TO provide such peace
officers az may be necessary for the
Of the peace and safety Of
the state, and that such officers be at
once stationed upon the capitol grounds
and in the corridors Of the capitol build
ing, as may be necessary to prevent the
entering of armed or disordefly men, and
that You use every lawful means In your
power to preserve the peace, prevent

they agreed on plan they had been all
morning formulating, and passed the
following resolution for the arrest of
Chief Clerk Rich Of the Populist house:
WHEREAS, One Ben @. Rich has for 9
number Of days last past and during the
present session Of this, the house Of rep
resentatives, and in the presence Of said
house, continually interrupted the regu-
lar proceedings Of the house by loud
and boisterous language and unlawful
and unusual noises, without legal excuse
or justification, and without claim or
pretens9 that the same was part Of or
connected with the proceeding Of the
house Of representatives, and such con-
duct has been and still is being indulged
and persisted in by said Ben g. Rich in
open, malicious and willful defiance and
design of the rules and authority of the
house of representatives; and
WHEREAS, Such conduct has greatly
interrupted and intertered with the trans
action Of public business by this house,
and has impeded and still impedes nee
essary legislation in the interest OF the
people Of the state Of Kansas, thereby
bringing the authority and dignity Of
the house Of representatives into dis
respect; therefore be it
ResoIUed, That by the said action and
conduct of the said Ben G. Rich, has
been and is guilty Of contempt Of this
house; and the speaker is hereby author
lied and directed to cause, said Ben 9.
Rich to be forthwith arrested by the
sergeant at arms and brought before the
bar Of this house to show cause If any he
have, why he should not be punished for
such contempt, and that said Ben @.
Rich be held in custody by said sergeant
alarms, subject to the further order of
the house Of representatives.
ATTEMPT TO ARREST RICH.
Their sergeant-st-srms not being pres
ent, three Of bis deputies, Young, Clog
ston and Jordan, were given the order
for Rich's arrest. They went to the
Dutton House, where Rich was preparing
for dinner, and made known their bust
ness. Rich answered that he did not
recognize them as officers of the house
of representatives, as they claimed to be,
and refused to go with them. He then
said that his duty would require him to
go to the house after dinner and if they
would wait they might 60 along. When
he was ready to 60 he was accompanied
by his wife, and after refusing to take
the carriage the alleged officers offered
him, started to walk. A number of his
Populist friends, among whom were
John w. Breidenthsl, s. NJ. Scott, w.
FL. Ryan, Sergesnt-at-Rrms Dick, D. M.
Howard, P. N. Gish, j. F. Willlts, and
Williams, of Ft. Scott, surrounded him
and walked along toward the state house.
The deputies walked as near as they
could to the man they wanted to take
prisoner. In the meantime the republi-
can house had adjourned to their head
quarters at the Copeland hotel, and when
the Rich party arrived at the corner
opposite that hostelry they were met by
a courier who directed that Rich should
be taken there. The deputies attempted
10 take their man in that direction, bat

BloOdshed is Only Averted by the Pa
triotism Of the Governor and
POpulist Legislators.

Once more Kansas has assumed war
like appearance and the past week has
witnessed an insurrection at our cap
ital that will mark another important
epoch in the history Of the state. What
the outcome will be is not yet clear, but
peace has been restored and every good
citizen hopes it will remain. Most of the
ADVOCATE readers have already q fair
knowledge of these late events, and it is
only necessary to recount them in detail
and in fair and impartial manner, that
the public may understand the situation
more fully and be able to retain the de-
tails. At this writing there are rumors
Of another attempt to overthrow the su-
thority Of the state, but there is nothing
tangible to indicate that such thing is
intended.
TUESDAY.
On Tuesday, February IA, the repub-
licsns who had been lawlessly occupying
representative hall to the annoyance Of
the regular house ever since the begin
ming Of the session, became incensed at
the slow progress they were making
toward overcoming the representatives
Of the people. Apparently fearing that
the senate appropriation bill which had
passed the house the evening before
would not, il tested in court, meet with
the fate they had prayed for, they de-
termined TO do something more desperate
than they had yet undertaken. At noon
