Spe@l has accepted the leadership, and
says that he will march to Washington
with Kel ley, but not under his guidance
"Henceforth," says Speed there will be
two armies, absolutely distinct, but shar-
ing provisions and glory" The twin
armies camped last night In the fair
grounds and were well supplied with
food and fuel.
The march to this point was made partly
on foot and partly by wagon. The farm
ers Of the Avoca neighborhood supplied
sixty-three wagons. which only held half
the army. Consequently the army rode
and walked acknowledgement at time.
The reception here was less flattering than
those accorded AT Council Bluffs, Nicola,
and Avoca. But much MD was given the
army, Mayor Whitney showing his good
will by riding into campon donated load
OF cordwood. The trouble at Walnut had
led the county officials to anticipate
trouble, and sixty extra deputies were
scattered through the town and about the
camp. Kelly believes that Speed and his
men will apologize and return to his
army.

Currency Legislation.

The republicans are not going TO per-
nit the democrats 10 enact any law for
reforming the currency. They propose
TO have whatever credit there is likely to
arise from establishing a new banking
system. However well they may think Of
Secretary Cariisle's bill or any other bill
providing for a new banking and currency
system. they propose to have whatever
credit is likely to be obtained from legis-
lation OF that kind.
It seems to be pretty well understood
that the House will pass the Carlisle
currency reform bill. OF a bill very SINH
lar to it. and that the Senate viii re-
fuse to act upon it.
The republicans understand as fully as
the democrats the need Of prompt action
in respect to the currency. They know
that within the last few days a good
many millions Of dollars in gold have been
drawn out of the treasury through the
agency of legal tender and treasury notes.
and that it is not at all improbable that
the gold reserve will be reduced very soon
low as it was before the sale OF
the last S5O,OOO.OOO, but they are not going
to assist in putting a stop to the out
flow Of gold or to permit anything to be
done in that direction.
At the next congress. however. when
they will have control of the House. they
will undertake to enact a currency re-
form law. and it is pretty certain that they
will endeavor to so frame it that it will
help their party win the next presidential
election.
1t will do no harm, however, for the
democrats of the House to pass a bank
ing and currency bill. Such bill would
give the people a chance to see the kind
of currency legislation that has demo-
cratic approval
The country would be the gamer by
