land has sent the following reply to Gov
ernor Altgeld, who demanded the re-
moval of federal troops from Illinois:
Federal troops were sent TO Chicago in
strict accordance with the constitution
and laws Of the United States, upon the
demand Of the postoffice department that
obstruction of the mails should be re-
moved. and upon the representations of
the judicial officers of the United States
that process of the federal courts
could not be executed through
the ordinary means, and upon abun-
dant proof that conspiracies existed
against commerce between the states. To
meet these conditions, which are clearly
within the province Of federal authority,
the presence of federal troops In the city
of Chicago was deemed not only proper,
but necessary, and there has been no in
tention there of interfering with the
plain duty of the local authorities to pre-
serve the peace OF the city"
