OMAHA, April 1S-Keiley's army
camped in the Chautauqua grounds
tonight, as free as the soft air that
gently swelled the boughs on which
the tender foliage of early spring is just
appearing. AS Kelly himself said, the
silver lining to his cloud had come.
There was decided revuision of feel
ing among the people this morning. In
dignation supplanted indifference, and
the citizens of Omaha. Council Bluffs
and South Omaha set about vigorously
to ameliorate the condition of
the unfoftunates. An Indignation
meeting was called in Council
Bluffs. and a committee was appointed
to call on Gov. jackson to remove the
militia from the Chautauqua grounds.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the governor for calling out the militia,
and censuring the men who were re-
spOnsible for the exclusion of the men
from the =Chautauqua pavilion during
the storm.
Gov. Jackson was found in Attorney
General Stones office, and a stormy in
terview ensued. Sheriff Hazen was
called In, and he and the governor had
a pretty warm time trying to fix the
responsibility for the presence of the
S ate troops. Finally it was agreed
to withdraw the troops. AT noon the
Chautauqau grounds were abandoned
by the militia and at O'clock the picket
lines were withdrawn. At O'clock the
militia was all back at the Union Pa
cine transfer anu the Kellyites were i'm

grounds. 1t was then given out that the
army would move between midnight
and noon and would camp next at Wes-
ton. Daring the day the camp was Wis
tied by thousands OF synipathizers.
Food, money. clothing. medicine, bed
ding. pipes, tobacco and everything
needed for the comfort of the army was
furnished in abundance. When night
fell Kelly was in possession of upwards
OF s., 600 in cash and had provisions to
last week, with luxuries to
last last a month. During the even
ing meetings were held in tho
three cities. In Omaha the large
hall provided was inadequate. and
an overflow meeting was held oil Jetfer-
son square. Upwards of 5000 people
gathered at this latter meeting and were
addressed by the leaders of the army.
During the afternoon $50 Union Pacific
employees. loaded with provisions,
marched over to the camp. a meeting
was held there, attended by 5000 per
sons. Resolutions indorsing the army and
condemning the railroads were adopted.
1t is the plan now to march the men
out tomorrow. Teams have been pro-
yisied to haul the army's outfit, and the
men hope to make arrangelnents. to, get
