MkINLEY's ATTITUDE.
columbus. O., March 22.-Gov McKin-
lp. gave out the following Official state
ment of his attitude toward the COXey
army that is to march from Massilon next
Sunday. - cannot believe that the stories
about the assembling at Massion on Sun
dav have not been greatly exaggerated.

there win be no such nun her as reported
hy the press and no suCh menace of the
notice aud good order Of the communities
through which the assembly proposes to
PASS on its way to Washington. With all
the no-oriety thai has been given the
movement nothing alarming comes from
stark and COlum biaua counties of this
state through which the march will be
made.
ut may be confidently relied upon that

duty 70 would be a matter of deep re-
greet If any disturbance were to result to
public order from this movement. I can
realize that however peaceful and lawful
the purpose of the movement may be. the
fact that large body of un0rganized men
is assembled to make a long march on
foot. relying upon supplies from the cOun-
try through which they travel, is well
calculated TO create alarm.
TROOPS IF NECESSARY.

gcacy, and they will not permit the
peace and good order of the
community to be broken but will
be prompt to punish any unlaw-
flu. acts which may occur. Should any
emergency arise and the local authorities
be not able to preserve the peace, and
compel observance of the law, the state
authorities upon notice will be prompt to
aid them, within the law and the consti-
tuition Ample authority is conferred on
the local authorities to preserve the
peace and enforce the law"
The governor quotes the pro visions of
law applicable TO the case and says if the
local authorities are unable to preserve
order, the entire power of the state, civil
and military, win be called into use. He
concludes thus: There is nothing for the
~J-eauor TO do until the emergency is
presented and which he hopes NAV not
otcur but if it does he will be prompt
to act '
