they met with a cool reception. They
were led by Gen" Fitzgerald. They

in procession or to carry
flags. They footed it from the wharf to
No. 30 East Tenth street, the headquar-
tiers of the Peoples party, where they ex-
pect to rest few days before proceeding
on their Journey. There was no reception
committee TO greet them and they were
disappointed. There are about eighty in
the crowd.

citizens, committee wagons made success
full trips and abundance of food was in

KELLEY TO MOVE ON.
Kelley has agreed to accept transporta-
ton TO the Mississippi river town that he
can reach with the least delay, and 60
thence by the Mississippi and Ohio rivers
by steamboat on his journey to Washing
ton. The conviction was forced upon him
that none of the railroads would transport
his men to Chicago or eastward fromsthe
river without payment of full passenger
pieces if it did not get away from Des
Moines very soon. Hence his change of
mind. II is probable that he will start to
the river tomorrow. Food was growing
scanty and the men rebellious.
