definite shape that gives notice to the
Massillon, Ohio, police circles that it is
something more tangible than the theoriz-
ing of a crank. Coxey and Carl Brown
mustered the advance guard of the Com
monwear yesterday afternoon, and the au-
thorities We're surprised to see more than
800 men, most OF them strangers, Grrayed
under the banners of the ION to Washing
ton" crusade. They held meeting and
nominated full city ticket. Among many
others the following resolution:
Resolved That the attempt of President
Cleveland to re-establsh a monarchy in
Hawaii is deserving of the most emphatic
censure, and If the present Congress would
be true to the people and the country II
would irnpeach Grover Cleveland as trail
tor to American institutions and repubi-
can principles of government
A gentleman who has means of informa-
tion as to some of the things CoNev and
Brown are not giving to the pubic yet said
last night that he had positive knowledge
that the forces now lin sight would give
Coxey anywhere from 5000 TO SGp0 men
to begin the march. The authorities say
that this community cannot aud Will not
allow the assembly of half that many of
the trampS in the vicinity.
A special from Massillon says: Reformer
CoXey is just home from Pittsburg. where
ne received such assurance of material aid
for the commonwealth that he is radiant.
Il stake my word upon it, said he, that
my bills will pass Congress by the middle
of May. The petition with boots on it viii
be irresistible. The people are aroused.
You will see them tiocking on here by
special trains on March % 10 start for
Washington with the peace procession. BY
June l there will be work in this country
at good wages for every man who wants
work. The day of salvation is at hafd.
1 believe that there will be 5000 in line
when We leave Massillon. l expect all the
locked-out coal miners to be in it to a
man."
Looking to May Day.
Mr.. Coxey's roomy house is the head
quarters of the crusaders. There they meet
daily, and besides a few minor plans the
future is left to the intoxica lion of excite
ment. The proposed meeting on the steps
of the Capitol at noon May is more in
the minds of the reformers han the possi-
bility of reaching a swollen and impossible
river in the early spring. The chances of
converting the members of Congress 10
their ways of thinking have more charms
for them than the discussion If ways and
means to control large body of unorgan-
lied men, who subject TO no5ody's
orders. All step on air and long for the
18th day of March.

Secretary Brownies bulletin.

AS order is Gods own law it is also nee
essary for intelligent action by Ills people;
50 the proposed procession will ba conlposed

in each, one of whom must be selected as
marshal or group marshal, to be numbered
in the order of date of group formation

communes of not less than thirty men
and not more than 100. Communes may
be federated into regiments or communities

by himself. SO.
How's this for an eNhortaton: Now
hurry up. The time is short. and, although
the roads will De horrible, remember
the condition of the soldiers un,ier Wash
ington, in the snow at Valley Forge strug-
Cling to win this fair land from an English
tax on tea and we, the degenerate sons cf
illuStrious sireS have allowed English bond
holders to get us more tightly in their grasp
than George " had our forefathers Rouse
up! and demand of Congress 20 issue paper
money based on our own security. If paper
money could fight battles and kill men in
1861 it can build good roads and public
buildings, and thus save US from starving
to death in 1894. Rouse, ye bondsmen, ard
protest against the yoke at least
