CHICAGO. April pa Tribune special from
Council Bluffs. Iowa. says that Gen. Kelly and
several Of his aides made addresses to the
force last night, In which II was prophesied
that blood would be shed before the army
reached its destination.
Kelley made . wordy onslaught on the
Democratic party. He charged that party with
being directly responsible for the present de-
plorsble plight OF the industrials. and declared
that the Democratic leaders had forfeited the
respect and sympathy OF the laboring classes
In conclusion he said:
Ny comrades. We may have trouble before
we reach Washington. Some of US may never
return. It may be you or II may DO me. and
have no doubt It will be some Of u.s.
Here he paused for a moment The 1000
men who surrounded him became as stil as
death. Then he continued: An revolutions
have received . baptism OF blood. and l don't
expect this one will be an exception to the
rule"
Then. turning to number OF citizens who
had come out to bid him adieu. he said:
Friends. you who have been so generous both
by word and deed. farewell"
As the little General retired the soldiers
sent up cheer after cheer until the demonstra-
ton became almost historical In It's en-
thusiasm.
